'Tis the Damn Season

by Kimi Freeman

3 out of 5 stars

"'Tis the Damn Season" by Kimi Freeman offers a fresh perspective on holiday romance by blending elements of celebrity drama with the nostalgia of returning home. The dual timeline narrative and the Taylor Swift-spo elevate this book from a typical romance novel to a multi-layered emotional journey.

Aspen Moore, a Hollywood starlet, finds herself embroiled in a scandal that forces her to retreat to her hometown in Pennsylvania. There, she reconnects with her first love, Roman Torres. The story takes us through their emotional rollercoaster as they navigate their feelings for each other, all set against the backdrop of the holiday season.

The book shines in its character development, particularly with Roman, who is the epitome of a supportive and selfless love interest. The Taylor Swift-inspired playlist at the beginning sets the emotional tone for the story, making it a unique reading experience. The dual timeline adds depth to the characters and allows the reader to become invested in Aspen and Roman's relationship both past and present.

While the book is emotionally engaging, it does have minor flaws. Some chapters end abruptly, leaving the reader wanting more. Additionally, the absence of Roman's point of view in the narrative feels like a missed opportunity to add another layer of complexity to the story.

In summary, "'Tis the Damn Season" offers a unique blend of holiday romance, celebrity drama, and emotional depth. Despite minor narrative shortcomings, it stands as a heartwarming tale perfect for the holiday season. It's more than just a love story; it's a tale of second chances, the complexities of life, and the enduring power of love.
