This is a cozy holiday read that I am not mad at at all. Had a good time reading this book and falling for these characters! This was another great book from Laurie Gilmore!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of The Christmas Tree Farm
by Laurie Gilmore This is a connected series (can be standalone but much better with other characters backstories) This is book #3 of the Dream Harbor series.

I love this series, I have already pre ordered books 4&5

Cozy romantic holiday read Kira and Bennett are my favorite couple so far!

I enjoyed this one so much, even more so than The Pumpkin Spice Cafe! The grumpy x sunshine trope worked really well here and I love books that deal with starting over! Can’t wait to continue with the series!

This book is so far out of my wheelhouse, yet I still have enjoyed every single one. I don't know what kind of crack this author puts in her stories that compels me to keep picking up this series. I am not even a romance reader. What the heck?

"Laurie Gilmore's Christmas Tree Farm" is a charming and heartwarming story that captures the magic of the holiday season. The narrative follows Laurie as she navigates the joys and challenges of running a family-owned Christmas tree farm. The descriptions of the farm and the festive atmosphere create a cozy vibe that immerses readers in the spirit of Christmas.

The characters are likable and relatable, each bringing their own unique stories to the table, which adds depth to the overall experience. The themes of family, tradition, and the joy of giving shine brightly throughout the book.

Overall, this delightful read is perfect for those looking for a feel-good holiday story that emphasizes the importance of togetherness and the simple pleasures of the season. It's a lovely reminder of the warmth and joy that Christmas can bring.

This book was the best Christmas book. Small town, Christmas tree farm, dogs, spice and getting snowed in…it isn’t missing anything. The entire book kept a smile on my face. The spice was on point.
I highly recommend this to any romance lover, who loves a feel good book that includes the heat of the spice!

I sure do love a book with a playlist. 💕

I absolutely love the town and residents of Dream Harbor and the way that Laurie Gilmore tells their stories. I loved having a Christmas story to go along with all the others and just adore Kira and Bennett. I loved how love letters wove their way into this story and how the characters found their way back to each other. Definitely recommend if you want some spice with your sweet.

This installment was a fun, cozy read, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The grumpy-sunshine dynamic was enjoyable, especially with Kira as the grump! But, her initial unlikability made it hard to fully connect with her arc. While Bennett wasn’t the strongest MMC, his acts of service and the charming Christmas tree farm setting (plus the dogs!) added enough warmth to make this a sweet holiday escape.

This was my favorite Christmas read ever! It had everything I wanted in it. Family, romance, friendship, flirting, and spice. I have read all of the books by this author and they have all been five stars. I would recommend this book for any time of year because it was just perfection.

An entertaining & cozy holiday read which can be read as a stand-alone or as the third book in the Dream Harbor series. I really enjoyed the slower burn of this book (versus the first two in the series) and the characters felt more relateable and fully rounded in this novel as well. Looking forward to the next installments!

Dream Harbor continues to be a fictional town I wish I could visit! I loved that Jeanie’s brother, Bennett, was brought into the mix with a grumpy-sunshine romance worth swooning over. Bonus points that the FMC was layered, flawed, and had a decent arc separate from the love story. As a result, Bennett paled a bit in comparison, but I still felt he was an authentic character.

All our favorite Dream Harbor residents had their moment, and it was fun to see the story explore more pockets of the town. Similar to the first two books, there was a mystery element at play. However, it disappeared during the middle portion of the book before making a surprise appearance at the end. Personally, I didn’t feel it was necessary, though it was a sweet way for our MCs to bond.

This one checked a lot of boxes for me, especially in the holiday vibes department, and I’m excited to see what happens in book 4!

This is the cutest Christmas romance! I think it might me my new favorite in the series! I loved Kira and Bennett romance, and how slowburn it was compared to the previous books. The atmosphere was so cozy and perfect for the holiday season!

There’s some sorcery with this authors writing. She has sucked the world into her vortex and we can’t get enough of these small town masterpieces. Well done!

I absolutely enjoyed this book! It was a perfect Christmas time read. I think it was cute and cozy, and I would definately recommend this to those trying to get into a seasonable spirit. I think the author did an amazing job, and I can't wait for more. I highly recommend this one to other readers.

Thank you Net Galley, Harper 360 and Laurie Gilmore

Dual POV, a little spicy, slower burn than the previous two books.

I loved this! The first two books in the series were a little insta-lusty, but this one really worked for me. They don’t even kiss until the 50% mark. Kira and Bennett are such cuties. I adore the MMC.

Kira has bought the run down Christmas Tree Farm in town. She’s a former rich girl who is starting over. Bennett is visiting his sister for the holidays and gets sent by the town to “investigate” the rumors about what the previous owner may or may not have left buried at the farm. She’s grumpy, he’s sunshine.

I’m excited for the next 2 books coming this year in this series.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my advanced digital copy!

This series exploded on the scene during the holiday season and I was intrigued. I am definitely a judge a book by its cover reader and this book really highlighted the flaws in that logic. This was wholesome don’t get me wrong, the small town feel full of independent owned and run shops giving all the Stars Hollow vibes. But the romance? Well, I was not expecting the level of spice these books offer and I am here for it.

A grumpy sunshine romance featuring a surly out of towner and a charming stranger visiting family for the holidays. This was the perfect cozy and surprisingly spicy read I needed this holiday season. I can’t wait to continue the series and check back in with Ben and Kira.

Just not for me… not enough character development or interactions even for me to believe in the romance of it all. I think I’m done with books by Laurie Gilmore :/

This was JUST the thing I needed over the holidays. Fun, light, and emotional. Highly recommend for cozy mystery fans. Already purcahsed for libraries.

Cute little Christmas romance novel, and out of the 3 in the series this one is definitely my favorite. She’s trying to venture out on her own unfortunately she bought a run down Christmas tree farm sight unseen. He was going from one relationship to the next and each one used him for his kindness. They slowly fall for each other as they build up the tree farm and business. After a snow day and a weekend of being stuck in the cabin together they both decide that they want more than friends with benefits.

I like a good reverse grumpy sunshine and this was it! Definately like a good christmas hallmark romcom movie with some good spice!
