I read the Mistletoe Bet last year and really enjoyed it, so it was a no-brainer when I started looking for quick Christmas vibe reads this year to read A Festive Feud. Loved the chemistry between the MC's and the spicy scenes are πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ. I love Maren's writing and the humor she works in subtly with her characters and chapter titles.

It was my first book by Maren and I enjoyed it. The storyline is cute, the characters are great and I loved that there isn’t a third act break up. 
I think discovering Maren Moore through this book is a good thing, because I’ll definitely read more of her books. 
As for the characters, Jackson is a sweetheart. I love how he treated Emma from the start. He is definitely exactly what she needed. 😍

I think I liked this one better than the first one! I saw someone say that so many romances that get called enemies to lovers are actually "it's always been you" on at least one side, and that's true. This one, though, is full enemies to lovers. They've grown up hating each other, from feuding families (very Romeo and Juliet with less death and teenagers). She's from the more upper class snobby family, he's from a more rough and tumble farming family and the two have had rivaling Christmas parties on the same night for years. These two are in charge this year and for reasons have to plan a joint party instead. Forced promotion does its job, only one bed makes an appearance, and the first time they're together is that classic 'i hate how much I want you because I really don't like you" moment. This one is longer than the first and though the stories kind of overlap, they don't really and I wish they would have more. We'll see what happens in book three when it's released right away here. 

Maren never misses!!!!! definitely in my hallmark after dark era! So glad we got to go back to strawberry hollow and meet Emmie and Jackson! Auto-buy author for me but I was still so excited for this one and it includes some of my favorite tropes
