Another fun and quick read from Laurie! Loved the two characters and the stereotypical grumpy x sunshine trope gender swap we got, I will read anything Laurie puts out!

I’m not usually into spicy romcoms with the grumpy/sunshine plot, but I really enjoyed this! I loved how in this story, the FMC, was the grumpy and her male love interest was the sunshine. It was refreshing to read the roles reversed. Kira, the FMC, owns a Christmas tree farm and is adjusting, albeit slowly and roughly, to a simpler life. Bennett is the brother of the main character of the first in this series, Pumpkin Spice Cafe, and he’s come to visit his sister. I won’t post spoilers, but this is a good read, especially if you want spice. Boy is it spicy! More than I actually expected (I’m not a big spice fan) but I wasn’t mad about it. If you’re looking for a good, light, funny and steamy read, this is it! I would really like to thank Harper360 and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this ARC. I appreciate the chance to have read it!

Found this a little quirky. Probably my least favourite out of them.
Characters lacked depth.
It’s a quick easy read to help reach my reading goal, but I’m not really a fan of these books.

Anything Laurie Gilmore writes I will be reading. Having Be Bennett’s story was refreshing from the home characters of Dream Harbor. I loved the Christmas vibes, definitely got me in the mood. The imagery and setting, beautiful. The romance was cute, but not my favorite. The dogs were a big plus. Kira’s hard exterior slowly breaking away and shining through made my heart happy. Overall she just wasn’t my favorite in the series so far, I couldn’t relate which is okay! Bennett such a golden retriever book bf. This book was overall very cute, delivered the Christmas vibes and the Dream Harbor feels!

If you're looking for a super cute, hallmark Christmas vibe - Christmas Tree Farm is for you!! Laurie Gilmore's series is such a good one for all seasons if you want a light easy romance read with a little spice. I thought that Bennet and Kira balanced each other so well, and I loved them together and individually. As always, I also loved seeing the whole cast of characters together, and had a great time reading this book! I 100% recommend this whole series :)

This book was so festive and really got me excited for the holiday season. This really gave me hallmark vibes, which I love. It was very light hearted and also included some spice. I would say this is a staple for Christmas time.

I loved The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore so I was so excited to read this! I love this just as much as the other 2. It's the perfect holiday time book. It's tamer than what I usually read but it was a great cleanser Platte for me. I cant wait for Gilmores next one to come out!

What an adorable and cozy Christmas read! I really enjoyed the characters in this book and the Christmas Tree farm was the perfect backdrop for a blooming romance! This story was the perfect combo of romance and spice!

A fun, light-hearted holiday romance! Grumpy-sunshine trope set in a small town during the holidays, it doesn’t get much better than that. Bennett is my new favorite MMC 🫶🏼 Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

This was such a cozy read!! This is so perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, small towns, and Hallmark movies!

The writing style is so easy to get into and it’s such a quick read, it’s cozy and perfect for a cozy winter evening.

I loved the revisiting characters that we met and also how we explored more of the town in this story, and the Christmas tree farm ambiance!

Hallmark Lovers this is the book for you! This book has all the elements of a perfect small town Christmas story. Kira has just moved to town and purchased the house and the land of a former Christmas tree farm. The townspeople are pressuring her to reopen it for the holiday season against her wishes. The town council nominates Bennett to spy on Kira and her property to see what is actually happening. Bennett is also an outsider he is only in town to visit his sister for the holiday season but was nominated because his three dogs like to explore the land around Kiras property. Kira is an animal lover so Bennett automatically has an advantage. Laurie Gilmore has done a wonderful job of capturing the relationship between Bennett and Kira she has created the best scenes to enjoy the holiday season. A sweet and quick read for Christmas and another great one in Lauries series on the residents of Dream Harbor.

3.5⭐️

Laurie Gilmore always writes fast, sweet holiday stories. I liked Ben and Kira. I like that Kira was the grumpy one in the relationship and needed the time to warm up. I loved this story moves so fast you don't have to be stressed about miscommunications or conflicts. It was just a very enjoyable read.

I just love Laurie's small town romances. They almost remind me of watching Gilmore Girls. They feel nostalgic.

I am truly obsessed with Dream Harbor. The Christmas Tree Farm follows Jeanie's brother who's in town visiting and the new owner of the christmas tree farm in town. I really liked the grumpy sunshine trope reversed, where she is grumpy and he is sunshine.

I eat this whole series up.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper360 for an early copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Hallmark movie in a book! This is a cute palette cleanser. It’s cozy and easy to read, nothing ground breaking but that’s not what some books are for. I will say after three books that it is feeling a bit repetitive.

While I am a sucker for Christmas romance novels and all things holiday, The Christmas Tree Farm didn't sit well with me. The main characters' chemistry felt flat, and individually, I feel like they weren't really that interesting. The story tried to be cheesy but, really, the execution wasn't done well.

4.5/5 stars

This books was a great addition to this series! I really enjoyed this book. The main characters were very likable and I loved getting to see the other couples in this story. This story was very cute and I liked both the main characters growth. With Bennett's growth and facing his toxic relationship. Kira's growth of realizing that you can be independent and still have friends. I just really liked both of them. I do wish they could have communicated a little more. It would have been so much better. We kept getting both their POV where they were worried about each other and they never told each other. There is a 3rd act breakup and I was not a fan of how it went down but I do think they both needed it for their individual stories/growth. But there was a lot of fun moments and this is definitely a book to read during Christmas season.

This was a fun next installment of the Dream Harbor series. I liked the evolution of Kira throughout the book in terms of how she sees herself and how she came to enjoy the Christmas season. It was very clear what the eventual conflict would be but I liked the way it played out and how the characters handled it. This book gave the best Christmas vibes and I enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this book. It was cute and fast paced. The female main character was a bit annoying at times but she ended up growing on me. Ben on the other hand, was the sweetest cinnamon roll ever. I loved him. I cannot wait for the sequel.

I really enjoyed reading Bennett and Kira’s story, and their supporting cast of characters did a great job at keeping things fun and light!

This book had a really great balance between fun, stereotypical holiday romcom tropes and nuanced character backstories. It was refreshing to see a reverse grumpy x sunshine done this way.

Sometimes, the pacing felt like it dragged on a bit in the middle, but with it being a shorter book anyway, that didn’t really hurt the story much.

Overall, this was a solid holiday romcom. .

I’m such a sucker for a holiday romance. Especially a grumpy x cinnamon roll trope. Mentions characters from the pumpkin spice cafe book but not enough that it spoils anything. This was the first in the series I read and now I have to go back and read the others.

A Christmas tree farm, a maybe hidden treasure, and lots of puppies. This was such a heartwarming read and the ambiance was perfect for holiday cheer. A spicy hallmark book. Kira is a holiday grump trying to make it on her own and Bennett’s a cinnamon roll “would do anything for you” guy. Both characters learned to grow from each other and their chemistry was STEAMY! The romance buildup was perfect. And there were no slow parts. Also did I mentions the puppies? I too fall into a puddle of mush at the sight of cute furry animals. A must read this holiday!
