Hott Review of ’TIS THE SEASON:
I’ve been really excited to read Mistletoe Memories so starting with ’Tis The Season my hopes were high. Maybe a little too high.
First, it wasn’t really Christmassy. I was expecting something set more in December but this was more of a fall romance that ended at Christmas.
Second, the romance was ok, but seemed to drag.
Third, I thought the kisses were a bit steamy for a Christian Romance. They were fine, just not something I’d share with my teen.
