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.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
