I love this time of year for the number of Bank Holidays that crop up. This week is Easter, and this means a lovely long weekend. I have started a book that deserves to be savoured and enjoyed, so will be curling up with a cup of tea to read this. I can't wait for that lay in. I also currently have 3 Easter Eggs! A flake one (my Easter Egg of Choice), a Cadburys Buttons one and Smarties chcolate figure from my work friends. Heaven!

But for today's review, I am returning to Christmas, or am really early whichever way you look at it.

Read all about my Christmas books.

The Plot

Kira North hates Christmas.

Which is unfortunate since she just bought a Christmas Tree farm ina. town that's too cute for its own good.

Bennet Ellis is on vacation in Dream Harbour trying to take a break from both his life and his constant desire to always fix things.

But somehow fate finds Ben trapped by a blanket ofn snow at Kira's farm and despite her Grinchiest first impressions, with the glow of fairy lights twinkling in the trees, and the promise of warming hot chocolate, maybe, just maybe, these two lost souls will have a Christmas they'll remember forever.

My Thoughts

This is the third book in the Dream Harbour series and is perfect for fans of The Gilmore Girls TV show as it includes a beautiful and friendly town complete wiht a set of quirky characters. Do read these books in order and be happy there are 2 more titles due in 2025.

The author describes her novels as a raunchy Hallmark film and good heavens those sexy scenes made me blush!

Kira is well, grinchy, having blindly followed a few Instagram homestead accounts and picturing herself surrounded by pickled fruits and jams made from home grown produce. Let's face it, who doesn't love a good Mason pickling jar! Kira's reality is somewhat different - a rundown Christmas Tree farm with no working boiler and inches of snow on the ground. Kira believes she has made a massive mistake.

And then Bennet comes along. A sweet man who enjoys fixing things including people, homes and faulty boilers. His dogs are very sweet and adored by Kira. Will she let Bennet into her heart, learn to love Christmas and make a success of the Christmas Tree farm - you bet!!

This was a very sweet book, almost as sweet as the hot choclate on sale (or sat looking at me from the bureau right now). You could genuinely be forgiven for thinking you are reading the plot of a Hallmark movie. I can' wait for the next in the series.
