The Christmas Tree Farm – Book Review

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!

This is the third book of the Dream Harbor series, and the story follows Bennett, who is the brother of Jeanie, the owner of Pumpkin Spice Cafe and a woman named Kira North, who moved into Dream Harbor from Georgia to run the Christmas Tree Farm business. Kira North is a typical grumpy person and Christmas was never a happy event for Kira. Not to mention that her twin sister Chloe is now married and is living in the other side of the world. There is a rumor around the town that the house in which Chloe is living in, the previous owner must have buried a body or treasure in the grounds. Bennett is assigned the task to become friendly with the grumpy Kira North. Bennett has bad luck with relationships before and soon, Kira and Bennett started having feelings towards each other…

If you are looking for a typical Christmas time story, then this book might be a perfect choice. There is the usual grumpy sunshine trope but in this case, the grumpy is the female character Kira and sunshine is Bennett. I just like the chemistry between Kira and Bennett and how their relationship develop overtime as they start getting feelings towards each other. I also like the dynamic and the fact that the whole community is always together makes this book a great read. The descriptions of the snow, Christmas and Santa Clause give the book a vibe of Christmas. Overall, I actually enjoyed this book and this book is worth four stars.
