Star review: ★★☆☆☆
Blurb
A Hollywood starlet caught in a scandal. The boy she never got over. A Christmas season they’ll never forget… Aspen Moore is living proof that money doesn’t buy happiness. At twenty-three years old, the singer-actress has it all. Fame. Fortune. Her own headlining tour. And yet something—or someone—is missing. When a scandal rocks Aspen’s carefully constructed Hollywood life, she’s forced to return to her Pennsylvania hometown, where she reconnects with her first love, Roman Torres. Aspen knows they must keep their relationship strictly platonic. This game of push and pull, catch and release she plays with Roman is bad for her. She’s not staying in Fertsville, and he’s not moving to LA. But their chemistry is undeniable, and amidst rumors and drama, the bright lights of Hollywood begin to pale in comparison to the dark brown eyes she fell in love with all those years ago. Could Aspen be willing to give up everything she’s ever wanted for the best thing she’s ever had?

My Thoughts:
I really liked the premise of Tis the Damn Season. A celebrity coming home and getting a second chance with her first love sounded right up my alley.
I actually think the plot of this book has a lot of potential, but there is a lot more focus on drama between the characters and side characters than some of the serious issues this story deals with. I didn't feel like the emotional depth was there with this one. The characters seemed stuck in issues from high school and the characters were pretty black and white. I think this one would have worked better as a YA romance where the immaturity of the characters would have made more sense.
There are so many great holiday romances out there I recommend giving this one a miss.
