Starred review from September 15, 2024
Kira North has a serious case of buyer's remorse. But what did she expect after purchasing a ramshackle Christmas tree farm sight unseen? Now, unless Kira wants to lose every penny she has already sunk into her new business venture, she needs to come up with a way to sell some Christmas trees, pronto. The problem is that grumpy, reclusive Kira has not exactly endeared herself to the residents of Dream Harbor. One person who doesn't seem to be put off by Kira's defensive front is Bennett Ellis, who stumbles across the farm one morning while walking his dogs. Can Kira now get past her own stubbornness about doing things completely on her own and accept some freely given help from the truly sweet and super-hot Bennett? With plenty of humor, a lot of heart, and a few blazing-hot love scenes, Gilmore returns to her delightfully quirky Dream Harbor series (The Pumpkin Spice Caf�, 2023; The Cinnamon Bun Book Store, 2024), cleverly a grumpy / sunshine holiday romance readers will not be able to resist unwrapping.
