I love reading Laurie Gilmore and I e been waiting in anticipation for this book to be released. And it’s even better than I hoped. All the familiar characters plus a few new ones. A delightful feel good romance with an added bit of spice.

This series just keeps getting better and better! It has all the cosy vibes of a Christmas romance that makes a light-hearted read. I love the exploration of Dream Harbour that each book expands on and how characters from previous books are included like Jeanie, Logan, Noah and Hazel, etc. The story is simple with a growing attraction between Bennett and Kira, but the book delivers all the elements that I love in romance books. The setting of the Christmas Tree Farm was fun and the festival creates the perfect atmosphere for these characters to fall in love.

The mystery of what was buried on the farm grounds could have been entwined more within the main story and the novel's conflict could have had more impact. This being said I still enjoyed reading and was an easy read that kept me hooked all the way through. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

This was my second book from Laurie Gilmore and I loved it. It is a very cute small town romance along with grumpy-sunshine and so much more. The Christmas theme just adds so much more to it. I really need to read The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore now.

I was invited by the publisher to review this book. . Kira hates Christmas, and yet she bought a Christmas tree farm in a quaint town. Bennett is in the same town trying to take a break from the path his life was taking and to re-charge. The two wind up butting heads, and Bennett does not really want to interact with Kira again - but, he can see that she has no idea how to run her farm. So, can Bennett actually help Kira? And, will Kira even allow it?

While Kira was not the easiest character to like, this book did do well the the grumpy and sunshine trope, as well as bringing all the feels for the holiday season. The map for the town was a really great addition, and allowed me to put things into perspective. Also, both of these characters had a lot of growth within the pages, which is always nice to see - the central storyline really was not their romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK/One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

If I could properly describe to you the squeal I squealed when I was invited to read this, then I think you would understand how truly excited I was to read this novel. I was not disappointed.

Kira, a grumpy wanna be homesteader, and one of the main characters in our story, recently purchased (sight unseen, might I add) a farm in the cold North that is part of our beloved Dream Harbor. Bennett, our sunny other main character, is the Brother of our beloved Jeanie (another resident of Dream Harbor-Please read the Pumpkin Spice Cafè for her story) and is visiting Dream Harbor for the holidays.

Kira is adamant to do everything herself and rely on no one else, especially the overly zealous Mr. Fixer-Upper that is Bennett. Bennett is determined to change his usual patterns, but all of this comes to a head when Kira takes on the old Christmas Tree Farm in Dream Harbor, which needs some serious work. I won’t ruin it, but the novel made me laugh out loud, cry ugly tears, and made me want more!

As per usual with Dream Harbor novels, it feels like I am falling into a warm cup of tea with a side of sugary confections. There is literally nothing else I want in life but to follow these Dream Harbor characters and giggle and cry right along with them.

I cannot wait to read the next installment!
