Season for Temptation by Theresa Romain
3.0
Very cute, very sweet, enormously blue eyed Christmas romance. Halfway into the book I wondered if I might've picked up a clean romance by mistake, that was the level of sugary naiveté this book delivers.
It's a good book, particularly for a debut novel, but it really wasn't my cup of tea. I'm more of a high stakes drama, give-me-all-the-weepyhorny-feels kind of a reader.
But I would totally recommend Season for Temptation to first time romance readers, particularly if they're just getting out of the angsty teen genres. The love scenes are nice, but not on the overly graphic side. Everything is super consensual. There's no ridiculous talk of hymens. The hero is a high quality beta-Gary Stu. There's every nuance of female friendship and fairy godmothering going on. Come to think of it, this is the book I wish I read when I was fourteen instead of that god awful translated Harlequin I found at a fleamarket for 2 kronor.
So yeah, go get it for your daughter/niece/neighbour's kid or something.
