Reclusive medieval scholar, Edgar Royal, has a crush. On a guy. Not a big deal, except that said guy, Walter Chase, is a famous online gamer who has no idea Edgar even exists. Edgar has harbored these feelings for nearly a year, and when Walter announces on Twitter that he'll be visiting New York City as a guest at the GamerOn convention, Edgar decides he'll be one of the thousands of fans who responds to the message. He definitely doesn't expect to be singled out by the humble, gorgeous, out-and-proud heartthrob. When it comes to dealing with people, Edgar's skills are pretty nonexistent, even with Walter giving all the right signals. Edgar lacks the courage to do anything about the mutual attraction growing through their online courtship, but then again, he's always been better with the written word. So maybe the perfect Christmas gift will say what he cannot. But if Edgar can't get the present to Walter before the convention ends, he may miss out on the boyfriend of a lifetime.

The blurb does a good job of explaining what the story is about so I won’t repeat it. This book is only about thirty-eight pages long and is a very fast read. It’s supposedly a Christmas story, but I didn’t get the holiday feel as much as I would’ve liked. It snowed in New York and there was talk of holiday crowds and a present, but that was about it.
Edgar is a quiet, reclusive, insecure scholar. He has a crush on Walter, the gamer. Edgar’s voice was rather monotone. I’ve found that’s often the case in first person narratives. The character ends up not having much of a personality and the secondary characters are the ones that shine. That happened in this story also. The only thing that came through was Edgar’s insecurity during his monologues. However, when he talked, it was bland. I found Walter more interesting. He was cheerful, outgoing and knew what he wanted.
There isn’t much else to say about this book. I don’t find it memorable. The one good thing about it would be if you need a quick, fluffy read after a conflict-full story, this could be a palate cleanser. Other than that, I don’t see myself reading this again and will likely forget about it once I read the next book. I give New Game, Start, 3 Stars because it was okay.
