I really enjoyed this book.

The characterisation was great and loved how the Lord of the Manor melted and became a normal person. The names of the Kringles were perfect and made this book even warmer.

I felt that the mother and Imogen were poisonous and very incredibly well-written.

This was a cuddly book to read with hot chocolate, just need some of the fudge and Christmas cookies.

Christmas at Maplemont Manor is a delightful holiday story by Julie Manthey. Noelle Kringle is a native of Maplemont. She owns the town bakery and lives on the sugar maple farm with her sister Holly, Holly’s husband Troy, and niece Ava, who is her late sister Carol’s daughter.

On the property next door is Maplemont Manor, the ancestral home created by the town’s founder and now owned by the Fitzgerald family heir, Grant. Not only did Grant come from wealth, but he also created a software product that led to the multimillion dollar sale of his company that would be split with his childhood best friend and business partner, Porter Cage. Porter also came from a world of boarding schools, Ivy League, and snooty families. Neither Grant nor Porter are such snobs, but their families certainly are!

The story revolves around the growing relationship between Noelle and Grant, beginning with their silly meeting to the more explosive moments. This is a delightful story of finding one’s place in the world and believing that you belong. Endearing characters, a lovely setting, and a beautiful season make this a lovely read. I did enjoy this book and I do recommend it

Sweet Christmas small town romance. The story holds your interest from start to finish. Lovable characters and believable story.

"Christmas at Maplemont Manor" presents the reader with a humorous and touching holiday story, featuring two main characters who finally find each other. Noelle manages a bakery in Maplemont, returning to her hometown after travels overseas honing her craft as a pastry chef. Grant arrives in Maplemont as the spoiled wealthy owner of Maplemont Manor. After a hilariously bad beginning, Noelle and Grant get to know more about each other as they work together on community Christmas events. Despite mishaps and misunderstandings, Noelle and Grant finally find their happy ending.

The lovable characters and enjoyable time of year make this novel a perfect holiday choice. Although readers may become frustrated with the main characters at times, the situations are realistic and entertaining. The book chapters feature holiday themed titles, which accompany the action of each chapter very well. (This book would make a great Hallmark classic Christmas show.)

This clean read is suitable for families to enjoy, as it contains no harsh language, sexual situations, or violence.

A fun, sweet read that gives you the small town charm of memories past. Lots of Christmas spirit and special feelings

Christmas at Maplemont Manor is a quick, cute read. It is reminiscent of a Hallmark movie and is somewhat predictable. If you enjoy Hallmark movies or books turned into movies like that you will enjoy this sweet read. It is a good book to curl up in front of the fire with during the Holidays.

There's so much to like about this story. First of all it's a Christmas romance that is actually full of Christmasy things; gingerbread house competition, Christmas cookie exchanges and a fun Christmas Eve Gala. Then there are the very likeable characters. I could easily identify with the heroine Noelle Kringle and I really liked the hero, Grant Fitzgerald. There are lots of fun scenes and the blossoming of the romance between Noelle and Grant was heartwarming. Anyone who enjoys sweet, festive Christmas stories will really enjoy this book.

A Christmas time bakery love story. It moves quickly between the small town millionaire who moves back to town and the lovely baker.
Small home town feel decked in Christmas trees,snow,fresh bakery items and a feel good vibe.
A sure pick me up read.

This book gave me serious Gilmore Girls vibes and I loved it. Maplemont reminded me so much of Stars Hollow at Christmas, making this such a great cosy, comfortable read. I loved how important the sisterly relationships were throughout. I did feel like the romance was a bit insta-love between both couples and things moved VERY fast, but that’s what happens with Christmas romances I guess so I’m not too mad about it!

I really enjoyed the story. Noelle and Grant were very strong characters. Imogen and Grant's mother were another story. Issues with their past in the romance department plus Imogen and his mother's plotting really had Noelle confused. Read this book involving family, past issues and other things to see how this story ends. You will enjoy it too.

Very sweet Christmas story. Easy to read and very like able characters. I've always liked the small town Christmas stories where everyone and their aunt get involved in the matchmaking of two of its residents. There isn't anything I didn't like about this story. The author, Julie Manthey, gave Christmas at Maplemont Manor everything you would want in in a Christmas romance. The characters are brilliantly written and given a depth and likeability. The description of a small town is on point, and having grown up in a small town I'd know! The love story has all the twists and turns to keep you interested until the very end.
I look forward to reading more from this author....hopefully more stories set in Maplemont!

This is an enchanting story which is guaranteed to get you in the Christmas Spirit. Very heartwarming!
Many thanks to Julie Manthey and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
