*`Review: A Very Merry Enemy by Lyra Parish`*

 Title: A Very Merry Enemy
Series: Very Merry #3
Author: Lyra Parish
Release Date: November 6, 2025

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series and the third Jolly brother is up. I'm not gonna lie Lucas was rubbing me wrong in the beginning enough that I was skeptical of this book, but I knew Lyra Parish wouldn't let me down. Hang in there with Lucas because the true guy underneath comes out to make you swoon. I felt for Holiday. What she went through was absolutely terrible so compounded with Lucas' attitude could have leveled a lesser person. Holiday has so much inner strength, more than she even knows. I loved watching her blossom with her baking. That made my heart soar. Mawmaw was up to some meddling and I loved it! I so love the Jolly family and it made my heart so happy to see the previous two brothers in the HEAS. There is one bad character that so needed a big swift kick from karma and when it happens glorious! This book definitely gives off Hallmark small town holiday vibes with heat. I was iffy in the beginning, but I fell in love with this book by the end. I was sad to see when I finished. This second chance holiday romance will get you into the holiday spirit for sure. 

BLURB:
He's a cocky lumberjack who hates my guts, and this Christmas we're forced to bake together…

Lucas Jolly and I have a secret history that left invisible scars. Now I'm back in Merryville, and he's making it crystal freaking clear I'm about as welcome as fruitcake at a dessert table.

When his meddling Mawmaw signs us up as partners for the town's Christmas Cookie Contest, there's five thousand dollars and a family tradition on the line. Six weeks of forced proximity in a kitchen might actually kill me, but I could use the money.

Between heated arguments over cookie dough and even hotter stolen glances, I'm melting faster than snowflakes on fresh out of the oven gingerbread. The town thinks we're secretly dating, but the truth is Lucas hates me. Even so, I'm one mistletoe moment away from crossing lines we swore we'd never cross again.

Now I'm wishing for a Christmas miracle because falling for Lucas Jolly nearly destroyed me once. Doing it again might be the sweetest mistake I ever make.


A Very Merry Enemy is a small town, holiday, enemies to lovers romantic comedy. It's sweet and spicy with a dash of hate to love you. This is the final book in the Very Merry Series, but each can be read as a stand alone. For the full Lyra Parish experience, start with A Very Merry Mistake.
