**4.5 stars**Oh I LOVED this little story by new-to-me author John C. Houser. I'm having great luck with the "A Valentine Rainbow Se"t collection so far. This story is for all the fans of uber-geeks out there.Reuben is a savant who views the world through logic and reasoning and is completely clueless about emotional connections. When his best friend of a decade, Terry, tells Reuben he can't spend time with him anymore, Reuben is crushed and doesn't understand why.I loved the single POV and seeing Reuben work through his feelings with the help of his therapist and his spunky sister. I was surprised at how quickly I became invested in this little story. I was in it and I almost cried a few times (just from emotion, this book isn't sad at all). It reminds be a tiny bit of "Blame It On The Mistletoe". I'm thrilled at what this author accomplished in so few pages.Just be forewarned, this book is a completely clean romance (no sex- grrrrr). But it was totally lovely and I'll be reading more from this author in the future.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
