Kira North hates Christmas. Which is unfortunate since she just bought a Christmas tree farm in a town that’s too cute for its own good.
Bennett Ellis is on vacation in Dream Harbor trying to take a break from both his life and his constant desire to fix things.
But somehow fate finds Ben trapped by a blanket of snow at Kira’s farm, and, despite her Grinchiest first impressions, with the glow of the fairy lights twinkling in the trees, and the promise of a warming hot chocolate, maybe, just maybe, these two lost souls will have a Christmas they’ll remember forever…
The Christmas Tree Farm is a spicy romantic mystery with a HEA guaranteed!
My Review
I appreciate the map of this small town at the beginning of the book and the playlist. Kira hates Christmas but buys a Christmas tree farm. She may be a grumpy Grinch woman, but she does love dogs. Also, her plans with this depilated farmhouse, Christmas tree farm, and dilapidated barn didn’t quite go according to what she wanted. Of course, the man with the dogs Kira takes an instant hate to is Bennett. You would know him if you read The Pumpkin Spice Cafe.
Bennett is a big-city computer guy with a hero complex. But he wins vacation for the holiday and visits his sister in Dream Harbor. This small town is a riot. The role reversal in this book is intriguing, with her being the grumpy curmudgeon and him being the sunshine fixer.
It doesn’t seem like Kira is looking for love, as she keeps putting him in the friend zone. However, Bennett’s cinnamon roll interior can’t help itself in every interaction with her, even though he is also trying to reinvent himself. This book is slow-moving in terms of intimacy and relationship.
Ah, so the winter storms caused the forced proximity. Nothing like a cozy fireplace, a cuddly blanket fort, and a little steamy encounter in the living room. Now that they have gone from friends to lovers, the story hits the winter and holiday vibes.
This story ended sweetly, and they both got their Christmas wishes granted and found exactly what they were looking for and more. I love the opposites attract romance in the storyline with a side of banter and winter/holiday vibes. This book was very Hallmark holiday movie-like and will get you in the mood for the holiday season.
