Jingle Wars by Veronica Eden, R. Holmes
3.0
Only rating this a 3 because of the Christmas vibes I was getting, but if it weren’t for that, this would be a 2 star on my list.
As much as I loved the whole small town enemies to lovers trope, one thing about Finn Mayberry that I didn’t find all that great was how he kept objectifying Freya as a sex symbol, almost every encounter and being dominant and sexist a few times where his likability meter just fell short. Like, is there ever a time where I can have a few moments where he’s not basically want to fuck Freya every single time? Lolol. Yes, it’s basically another hallmark after dark with its steamy scenes, but Finn just gives off playboy vibes. Freya, why would you fall for him?!
Not to mention, I wanted more out of the Jingle Wars competition and the ending felt a little rushed, but I’m in a jolly mood and it did give me Christmas vibes, so I’ll count it as a plus.
