From the author of the viral TikTok sensation, The Pumpkin Spice Café, comes the only spicy grumpy x sunshine Christmas romcom you need this year!

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 questionning why she refused help in the first place..

The Christmas Tree Farm is a spicy romantic mystery for fans of Gilmore Girls with a HEA guaranteed!

Tropes:

• grumpy x sunshine
• small town
• forced proximity
• one bed


The Christmas Tree Farm (Dream Harbor, #3) Reviews


  • OsiriaGrey

    To tell you, I squealed when I was chosen by Netgalley/Harper360 publishers to review a copy of this from Netgalley,would be an understatement. I was beyond excited!

    This was yet another fantastic book by Laurie Gilmore. I have always wanted a spicy Hallmark movie/book and Laurie Gilmore nailed it! I love the grumpy sunshine trope so much and Laurie does it so well. This is book 3 in the series and I really love that you get to revisit the characters from other books and get a glimpse into how things have progressed for them as well. I also really loved that the FMC Kira was the grumpy one and Bennett was the sunshine. 90% of the time it is the MMC that is grumpy so this was really refreshing to read!

    As always Laurie Gilmore's character/world building is absolute perfection. I feel so connected to these characters and to Dream Harbor and I just wish I could visit there. So far every book in this series has just gotten better and better and I can't wait to see what comes next in the series.

    ♡ ARC Book Review ♡
    4.5/5
    This was such a cute and had all the classic hallmark Christmas movie vibes you could wish for! The grumpy sunshine trope is always a hit with me especially when the FMC is the grumpy one.
    I definitely think this is my favorite book out of the series so far because of how cute and cozy it was!
    Kira views herself in a negative light thinking of herself as selfish and not a fan of Christmas when really she is the sweetest and most selfless person.
    Bennett is a sweetheart that just wants to help anyone and everyone he can and will do anything to make sure Kira is happy.

    I love the little world that’s been created in Dream Harbor it feels so cozy and tight knit and you can really connect with each of the characters. I feel like as the series has gone on the books just keep getting better.
    Definitely recommend for all the Christmas lovers.

  • Emily Shaw

    By far my favorite of the three!! It’s basically a cute Christmas hallmark movie where the FMC is the grinch. I adored this one and their relationship very much. Quick and easy read! 🎄🎁

    I received a free copy of, The Christmas Tree Farm, by Laurie Gilmore, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book book three in The Dream Harbor series. Even knowing that she hates Christmas, Kira buys a Christmas tree farm, because that make sense. Kira does not always think, before she acts. Kira is not the easiest character to love, she does let you, but it was a quirky read.

  • Laura A

    Kira is not a fan of the holidays. She made a decision to buy a farm in a quaint little town. She keeps seeing Bennett around her farm and grows to like him. A nice read.

  • April

    The Christmas Tree Farm is the third book in the Dream Harbor series. In this story, we meet and get to know Jeanie's (the main female character in the first book, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe), brother Bennett. He has come for a visit from California to spend the Holidays with his sister and her group of friends. Little does he know that an innocent walk with his 3 dogs will lead him to meet the newest and not very friendly resident of Dream Harbor, Kira.
    Sparks fly, and not of the happy kind...at least not in the beginning. There is supposedly a buried treasure, or buried body, located somewhere on the Tree Farm, now owed by Kira, and Bennett has been volunteered to scope the place out.
    Though Kira appears to be standoffish in the beginning, there is a reason for her feeling this way. As time goes by, she begins to thaw and warm up to an amazing group of new friends, and against her well, the fire blazes with a certain hot and sexy man.
    I have loved every one of these books in the series, and this one is no exception. It feels like visiting old friends and getting to know new ones. The characters are incredible. There is laughter, kindness, drama, and some steamy heat all rolled into this excellent story. A great way to warm up the Holiday Season, or delve into any time of the year!

    ~Small-Town Romance, Holiday Romance, GrumpyxSunshine, and more!~

    The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore follows Kira North, the new owner of the old Dream Harbor Christmas tree farm. The problem? Kira doesn't like Christmas and bought the property sight unseen. Kira is determined to fix the farm on her own and go from a spoiled trust fund baby to a self-sufficient homesteader. So when the handsome Bennett Ellis with a fixer complex comes to town for a vacation, what will happen when he meets the stubborn owner of the Christmas tree farm who refuses to accept help? Will it just be a holiday fling, or will it turn into something more?

    4.5| First, before even reading this book, I loved the playlist and map. It is a great addition that really set the scene for the book and also allowed me to picture the town more clearly. I think the map could be a bit bigger in the future; I was reading on a Kindle, so I had to put it close to my face to make out the words. I finished this book in less than a day because it was so captivating and hard to put down. I loved Kira's character and how strong, determined, and stubborn she is. The more I learned about her backstory, the more I understood her character and decisions. She and Bennett had great chemistry, and I enjoyed this book being more of a slow burn. The back-and-forth between their personalities was great, and I loved the contrast between her not wanting to accept help and him wanting to fix everything for her. I loved Kira's interaction with his dogs and how soft she was towards them.

    One thing I really enjoyed about this book was how they both found themselves and wrapped up some loose ends before finding their way back to each other. Kira and Bennett had a lot of character growth throughout the book, which I appreciated. Seeing Kira make friends and finally find a sense of belonging was great to see, and I love how much her confidence grew throughout the book. I did feel like some of the sentences were odd and made me re-read them a couple of times before fully understanding what it was trying to say. I also found it a little odd that Kira's first thought was to sell the items Bennett finds. It seems the letters had a lot of sentimental value for her, so selling the items that represent the love of those people she read about didn't really make sense as her first thought. The side characters were great; I loved what they added to the story. I would have liked to see some reunion with Kira and her sister to tie everything up.

    Overall, I loved the vibe of the story and the town it takes place in. It very much gave mature Hallmark movie! The characters and chemistry were great. Kira and Bennett were truly a couple I was rooting for up until the end of the book! I was so excited to read this book and even more excited to read what's next in the town of Dream Harbor!

    I would love the thank NetGalley and Harper360 for this ARC and being able to continue the Dream Harbor series! This was a very quick read for me and absolutely loved it!
    I loved how I got a Small town Romance feel to this book and it is definitely a nice holiday/Christmas read! I cannot wait to have the physical copy of this book to add to my collection!!

    The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore follows Kira North, the new owner of the old Dream Harbor Christmas tree farm. But she doesn't like it and bought the property sight unseen.
    Bennett comes in with his fixer personality. Will she be too stubborn to take help, will it be just a fling or blossom into something more than that? I loved that it gave very hallmark vibes just a bit spicier.

    Thank you @harpercollins360 for giving me this ARC through @netgalley this statement doesn't in any way affect my review, opinions, and thoughts on this book.

  • Cherise Isabella

    The lies we tell ourselves are often stronger than the truth. They worm their way into our hearts and our minds until they are all we see, all we believe.

    So far this is my favorite book in this series, I loved Kira and Bennet's story. It was cozy of course, funny and the chemistry between them was palpable. I liked Kira's character and how she owned her bad traits. I like how she called herself out and was ready to improve...I felt that wholeheartedly.

    The spice was perfection. Not too much but perfectly balanced with the rest of the book. I loved the character development of the two MCs, especially Bennet's. Of course the ending is a HEA but the story to get there was really quite beautiful yet not so beautiful at times.
    This would make the perfect cozy Christmas romance read...with a little heat to keep you warm.

    Thank you to Netgalley, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter an Laurie Gilmore for my eARC of this book. All opinions are 100% my own and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

  • Jenny’s Library

    I couldn’t wait any longer for another Laurie Gilmore book and The Christmas Tree Farm was another five star read for me. Such a cute cozy story I love every single part of it.
    Quote “ ‘You’re moving, Bennett. Here to Dream Harbor, to live here with me and our far too many dogs and possibly a future reindeer or two. And we will live happily ever after. Is that clear enough?’ “
    Something I would say to my partner.

    Mini Summary

    Kira (Peaches) the grinch of Christmas decided to buy a Christmas Tree Farm at Dream Harbor where she finds Bennett (Mr. Fixer) she wants no help from him but he sees her freezing he can’t bare himself leaving her in the cold whether she didn’t ask for his help he decides to fix a few things around the house so her stay will be warm.
    Bennett side story is on vacation visiting his sister the owner of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe but also to disconnect himself from his disastrous dates. Kira is now in the opens to welcome the town folks of Dream Harbor but due to her unwelcoming charm she finds herself stepping out of the grinch mode and opening herself to the town. Kira and Bennett find themselves stranded in the tree farm house due to a heavy snowstorm. As much as they both didn’t want to fall in love with each and fall into old habits they can’t denied any longer their feelings.

    Thank you Net Gallery for the advance reading

  • Zahra

    Big town man visits a small town and falls in love with the owner of a Christmas Tree Farm - sounds pretty Hallmark to me! But this story adds a bit of spice and I loved every second of it!

    This book is like a spiced hot cocoa, warm and cozy with a little kick to it.

    If you don't want some spice in your cute small town romance, this book isn't for you. There are plenty of "clean" romances out there especially small town ones, but this isn't that and I personally had no problem with that (especially because they tell you ahead of time so there's no surprise there).
    I also think the author does a good job of weaving it in, the characters are clearly not celibate and occasionally think about sex leading you to figure that they're no strangers to it and it could happen naturally in the story. The early mentionings of sex are not heavy handed either, they just simply exist in a perfectly normal way.

    Moving on from the spice--

    I've read all the previous books in this series and I would recommend reading them in order for the full effect (otherwise you'll read book 2 after book 3 and find yourself getting introduced to the new woman who bought the Christmas Tree Farm). While not a horrible decision, Dream Harbor is a small town and the series includes all the characters in all the books for the most part so it's best to follow the overall story.

    I find Snowed In to be one of the lesser used tropes but it's so effective! It's a great tool to utilize for some forced proximity and I loved the way it unfolds in this story.

    I adored Kira and Bennett - they're both fairly new to town but their stories both together and individually along with the progression of Dream Harbor all really worked for me. Kira and Bennett both have a bit of growing to do at the beginning of the story and this book allows them to grow together as much as they grow individually which I really love. I especially liked the ending and look forward to seeing more of them and their farm in the future books!

    I am very much invested in all the lives of the Dreamers and will drink up any morsel of Dream Harbor at this point. Keep throwing these books at me I will be reading every single one.

    Thank you Netgalley, Harper Collins, and of course Laurie Gilmore for the eARC!

  • ashley and the never ending TBR

    I think I am ready to pack my bag and head to Dream Harbor! If you want cozy hallmark romances with spice --- this series is for you!
    I really liked Kira’s character and how the quaint small town and Bennett were able to thaw some of her icy exterior. She’s determined to do something on her own, for herself, while grieving the life she had with her twin sister (and missing her deeply) and while she has to overcome a lot, she definitely came out on top.
    Bennett is a fixer, it’s one of his greatest attributes and greatest downfalls, he’s been heartbroken before because of it and while he wants to help Kira, he struggles with questioning her intentions.
    I finished this book in one sitting, it was all things warm and wintery, perfect for sitting on the couch with a hot cup of tea and comfy pajamas.

  • Kayla B

    "For anyone who ever wished Hallmark Christmas movies were steamier, this one might do the trick."

    Yes, yes I think this one did the trick. This book left me feeling like I had indeed just stepped foot inside a cozy wintery Hallmark movie and I did not want to leave. I found myself grinning and kicking my feet throughout this whole book. This is a small town romance, grumpy x sunshine, slow burn and I am here for all of it!!!

    The Christmas Tree Farm is the 3rd book in the Dream Harbor series, which I would call an interconnected stand alone series. The book has mentions of things that have happened in previous books, and of course the characters are from all the previous books but you would be fine without reading the rest.

    This story follows Kira, the new resident of the old Christmas Tree farm in town and Bennett, Jeanie's brother who is just in town for the holidays. Kira came to Dream Harbor to start her life over and prove to herself she can be independent and not rely on everyone else. So she used her inheritance and purchased the old Christmas Tree Farm sight unseen. The downside, it had little heat and was run down. Oh and she had no idea how to run a farm, just an idea of what she had seen on social media. In her quest to become a new independent individual she became the town Grinch and wanted nothing to do with anyone. That is until she stumbled upon Bennett one morning as he was walking his dogs unknowingly on her newly owned property.

    Bennett is in Dream Harbor just for the holidays to appease his sister and to get out of California for a little while. He finds himself trespassing on the once abandoned Christmas Tree farm property when his dogs lead him right to the new grinchy owner, Kira North. Their first interaction was less than ideal but Bennett quickly found himself finding reasons to visit the farm and finding a way past her tough act and into her heart.

    This book was such a cute story and I loved every minute of it. I cannot wait to read the next story.

    Thank you to NetGalley and Harper360 for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

    Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC copy of this title!! The following is my honest review.

    ⋆⋆୨♡୧⋆⋆ Tropes ⋆⋆୨♡୧⋆⋆
    ‪♡ small town vibes
    ‪♡ enemies to friends to lovers
    ‪♡ grumpy x sunshine
    ‪♡ will they, won't they?
    ♡ stuck inside together

    Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5. Oh boy, this one is way kinkier than the first two! I can't believe Ms. Gilmore had it in her!

    This book filled me with warm, toasty, feet-kicking Christmas-time coziness. I totally recommend listening to the author's playlist when you're reading along, it adds a whole layer of atmosphere.

    We have a snarky, fierce, sarcastic FMC in Kira, who refuses to take any help from the stupidly handsome, boy-next-door-type Bennett. Both trying to outrun their pasts in Dream Harbor, they don't look both ways and end up running into each other instead. When Bennett catches a glimpse of her secretly soft and scared insides, he will jump on any chance to get to know her a little better... even if it means going on the wild goose chase the Dreamers have sent him on.

    There is so much more angst in this title vs. the previous two! Kira struggles with issues of confidence, independence, and loneliness. Rather than the practically perfect FMCs of the previous Dream Harbor series, she has a past to break through to achieve her dreams. The same goes for our MMC, Bennett, who is forced to overcome his self-doubt and toxic relationship history so his Christmas wish can come true. This adds a gravitas I don't think we see a ton of earlier in the series.

    These two drove me crazy the entire time! I was totally crazy about Bennett though, and their spice was unhinged in a way that I lived for. I've really fallen in love with the ensemble of characters this series has crafted, and of course, I'm already dying for the next book in the series!!

  • Dale (dalegendaryreader)

    This might be my favorite in the series, so far.

    "He set himself up on the couch. Laptop, coffee, peacefully snoring dogs: check, check and check." is such a vibe and honestly, relatable since Bennett do remote work and I do it too.

    We briefly met Kira, the new owner of the Christmas Tree Farm in book 2 and she was a bit grumpy and aloof. Bennett's the FMC's brother in the first book, so we saw glimpses of him. Bennett is in Dream Harbor to visit Jeanie and for a vacation. When the town banded together, Bennett was given a task to visit Kira's farm and look for treasure due to a rumor.

    Kira was a grouch and grumpy at first, and that's due to her decision buying the farm, sight unseen and was overwhelmed with how much it actually needed work for her to get by. Bennett got this hyperfixation to fix things.

    "He probably needed therapy, but that was an issue for another day". We love a self-aware man.

    The book was sweet, and I love all things Christmas-sy. It was such a vibe, especially with holidays coming. Add in dogs in books, love!

    I do appreciate how we both saw character development in both characters. Kira realized that she can be friends with Dream Harbor residents and she can ask for help, while Bennett got past his issues. The third-act was really understandable, and I am glad for it to happen.

    Overall, I love this series because it felt like a warm hug and it's always good to be back in Dream Harbor. I cannot wait for Iris' story since she's next and she seems fun in this book.

    ”this past christmas was my favorite, too. i hope we have a lot more together. i was thinking a lifetime of them might be enough.”₊ ⊹

    my thoughts┊okaaaay, this served the ooey gooey goodness i’ve been needing in my life! moreso 3.5, but definitely happily rounding up.

    i loved this! bennett and kira were suuch a good couple; this is probably my favorite from the series thus far. i loved the christmas tree farm setting, seeing kira grow into herself as an independent girlie and making roots for herself in dream harbor. and bennett was *chef’s kiss* favorite male character from this series for sure. their developments as characters complimented their relationship so well.

    the angst made my heart hurt, too! i was really in my feels with this one. i teared up a little towards the end at the scene with the letters 🥲 so so so sweet!

    so very happy i decided to pick up this series; it’s perfect for some feel good, cozy vibes. very much looking forward to the next/last (?) book! i’m imagining that it will be annie and mac’s story, finally, and i cannot wait to see how their story develops!

    huge thank you to netgalley and harper 360 for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review!

    Thank you to Laurie Gilmore, HarperCollins360, and NetGalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

    The Christmas Tree Farm is described as a spicy Hallmark Christmas story, and I think it delivered on that claim. Much like a Hallmark movie, I thought it was fine but I felt like we didn’t get to know our main characters well enough to root for them to date each other.

    I really struggled with Kira. She’s meant to be the grumpy of this grumpy/sunshine book, but for the majority of the book she was more than grumpy, she was aggressive and rude to anyone who would try to talk to her.

    On the other hand, we have Bennett. I felt like we were getting constant reminders of how good of a guy Bennett is. He can’t stand to see someone struggling, he must intervene and save the day. That’s all we learn about him.

    Together, something about them didn’t sit right with me. It just felt like they hardly knew each other. Kira seemed like she was looking for a man because her twin sister has one and she’s been dependent on her for years. Bennett seemed to forget how rude Kira was to him. It truly was reminiscent of Hallmark Christmas movies.

  • Erin

    I received a copy of this book as an ARC from NetGalley. Christmas Tree Farm is everything you could ask for in a holiday romance. The characters from the first 2 Dream Harbor books return for the holiday season with a couple new characters introduced. Kira is the spoiled heiress looking for a fresh start to stand on her own two feet and Bennett is Jeanie’s (pumpkin spice cafe owner) brother who is in town for the holidays and to escape his not so happy life on the west coast. The enemies to lovers slow burn is the best in the series so far and you really end up rooting for these characters to find their own independence while also finding companionship in each other.

    I very much enjoyed the intricate descriptions of the town and tree farm that made me feel like I had stepped right into a Christmas wonderland. I felt the character growth was perfectly paced and I ended up wanting to snuggle with the puppies after the first couple of interactions the characters had with them. I very much look forward to seeing what else Laurie creates.

  • Lily

    Laurie Gilmore has a talent of creating diverse characters with different personalities and life backgrounds and taking them on a journey to discover themself. This book was no different. I loved Mr. Fix It Bennet and Ms. Reformed-Rich-Girl-Rake Kira. The story contained all the Christmas vibes that I love in a Christmas story and added coziness, cute doggos, and some spice (Ch. 18, 21, 22, and 28 for anyone who wants to skip). I enjoyed Kira and Bennet’s journey and their time in their own snow globe of holiday wonder and whimsical cheer. It was the equivalent feeling of the multi-colored lights, obnoxious decorations, and child-like wonder I experienced during Christmases as a kid. I want to skip right to Christmas now!

    Thank you to Netgalley and One More Chapter for gifting me this book in exchange for an honest review.

    Cue Taylor Swift's "Christmas Tree Farm."

  • Litwak Library

    Oh my lanta! This was the coziest holiday romance with all the Christmas goodness and Gilmore Girl vibes. Think Hallmark after dark. I thoroughly enjoyed 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓂𝒶𝓈 𝒯𝓇𝑒𝑒 𝐹𝒶𝓇𝓂. Bennett + Kira were absolutely adorable. Bennett, the MMC, is a total cinnamon roll willing to do anything for those he cares about. Kira, the FMC, appears to be quite prickly in the beginning but underneath that grumpy exterior is a heart of solid gold. They were each healing from things in their past and together they were able to heal and find a genuine love. This sweet romance is Christmas magic🎄✨

    Tropes:
    ☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine
    🏘️ Small Town
    💕 Forced Proximity
    🛏️ One Bed
    🎄 Holiday Romance

  • Jen M.

    After devouring the first two books of this series, I was fortunate enough to receive an eArc for "The Christmas Tree Farm". Thank you for letting me read a copy of this before release! also, this might be the most spoiler-y review I've written but I need to explain what scenario was the cause of my decision to rate this book what I rated it.

    That being said, I'm not sure I was in the right seasonal mindset for this as I just got into fall cozy read mode and maybe doing a Christmas read was too much *insert anxious self deprecating face here*. Even with that, this was a 3.75 star read for me and here's why:

    The biggest trope in this book to me was the grumpy/sunshine which I usually enjoy. However, this was a little different because the Grumpy part of this equation was REALLY off-putting at the beginning and there was no "who hurt you?" to make it ok. That character just rubbed me the wrong way and while it was labeled as them hiding their true colors, it was real hard to shake off their previous actions, especially when the change of personality happened so fast.

    The saving grace of this whole book was the cinnamon roll of the sunshine character and the supporting characters from the previous books. I love this town setting and the people in it and I couldn't be driven away by the grumpiest of grumps. looking forward to the fourth book and hoping for more of the swoon worthy men in this town!

  • Rainy's Reading Nook

    I love Dream Harbor! The first two books were amazing but this one really was spectacular. I couldn't put it down.

    I loved having Kira as the grumpy personality and Bennett being the kind gentle person. It's usually opposite for the MMC & FMC so this was wonderful! The grumpy vs sunshine trope is always top tier!

    I always like to have a cute holiday read, and this had some spice which was extra nice!

    I like that the Dream Harbor world continuously includes all of the other characters from the previous books. It allows you to see the progression and continue to live within their stories a bit longer.

    Laurie Gilmore is nailing this series! I feel so connected and giddy about this entire series!

  • Daphne

    I really wanted to enjoy The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore, but unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me. The story felt too similar to The Pumpkin Spice Café—predictable and lacking the freshness I hoped for. I also struggled with the third-person narrative, which seemed bogged down by too much backstory, often repetitive, and at times, distracting from the main plot. I found it difficult to stay engaged and, ultimately, couldn’t push through to finish. It just wasn’t the right fit for me, though I’m sure others might appreciate its cozy holiday vibes.

    Thank you HarperCollins for the free eARC in exchange for my honest review.

    I’m a sucker for a cutesy ass name from a hot guy😍

    I loved this one. I loved that It was two new characters from out of town we’ve only met in passing.
    Ben is a nice guy with a dirty ass mouth behind closed doors🫣🤤 what more could you want?

    This book was giving me all the cozy Christmas hallmark movie vibes but still smutty. Perfect little Holliday read!

    I am thoroughly obsessed with Dream Harbor. This town and the vibes are just perfect. Kira fits in well with everyone, even if it takes her a bit to come out of her shell. Bennett is such a huge cinnamon roll. He wants (needs) to help those around him. The way he fell for Kira was just so wonderful. It's definitely a beautiful, cozy Christmas read.

  • hannah rose

    to echo my review of the previous books in this series, this is cozy-candy-cane fun! if you are looking for a book to spend an snow day with, this is a great choice
    dream harbor is full of sincere characters you want to root for and simple storylines that make for a nice & quick read

  • Laura Wonderchick

    As with the other books in this series, I loved reading about this town and these characters! Even though this is about a Christmas tree farm it could easily be read any time of the year. Heartwarming, touching and fun! Many thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for read and review

    "The lies we tell ourselves are often stronger than the truth. They worm their way into our hearts and our minds until they are all we see, all we believe."

    I thought this book was adorable. I think it would make a great rom com Christmas movie. Bennett and Kira were adorable.
