Synopsis
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 taking a break from his life in California. And most importantly, taking a break from his latest run of disastrous dates.
After a run in with Kira in her fields, Ben has no intention of offering to help the grumpy owner set up her tree farm, despite the fact she’s clearly got no idea what she’s doing.
Kira knows she should stop being so stubborn, but her farm is not all cute and cozy like people always show on social media, it’s borderline dangerous with no heating, and she’d rather no one saw it. But somehow fate finds Ben at Kira’s farm once more, and as Kira watches him swing an ax at the first tree, she finds herself appreciating his strength and questioning why she refused help in the first place.
Thoughts
What a sweet holiday read! This is my favorite story in the Dream Harbor series so far. I enjoyed Kira and Bennet a lot, but paired together, they were the perfect grumpy x sunshine match. With a holiday setting in a small town with some forced proximity, it ticked a lot of romance boxes.
I am so excited because there is not just one, but now two more books planned in this series. The Strawberry Patch Pancake House and The Gingerbread Bakery are scheduled for 2025 releases.
