Ahhh this was so cute. The character development was so cute and positive. Their romance was spicy and sweet. I loved the aesthetic. The plot was fun, even with it being the miscommunication trope. Can’t fault it really.

3.5 / 5 Stars
3.5 / 5 Steam

After some destruction of property and a night in jail they are forced to plan the town's Christmas party together rather than separately. Both are attracted to each other but because of their family's rivalry they are "enemies." One thing leads to another while working together and they can't keep their hands off one another.
This was cute and fun and a quick read for some holiday fun. The steam was fantastic…the mouth in that man.

Was such a good read Christmas and enemies to lovers what more can I want in a book?

So, "A Festive Feud" is like a Christmas rom-com that spices up the mild enemies-to-lovers vibe. Picture this: a small-town spat lands Emma and Jackson behind bars, and suddenly they're stuck planning the only Christmas party in town. As they navigate family drama, sparks fly, and you can practically feel the holiday magic. Oh, and they throw in the one-bed trope for that extra cozy factor. Plus, there's a hint of insta-love that'll warm your heart. It's a short and sweet festive read that'll leave you with all the Christmas feels.

She's more than beautiful. She's the kind of beautiful that sucks out all the air in a room the moment she enters.

Jackson and Emma are the Romeo and Juliet of Strawberry Hollow, all because of annual Christmas parties. After both land in jail overnight over a disagreement, the mayor says they have to plan a Christmas party together. They bantered the whole time pretty much.

I also don't know how it's physically possible for me to be around this man for longer than thirty seconds without wanting to rip his clothes off while simultaneously wanting to punch him right in his smug face.
