On paper, this book should’ve been everything that I love, but sadly didn’t really work for me.

Firstly, it didn’t really feel all that Christmassy to me. The book ended in early December! The premise was ridiculous (what sane adult buys a Christmas tree farm when they don’t do any research or have a clue how to run a Christmas tree farm??), the writing was clunky and meandering, the characters frequently behaved goofily — and not in a fun way. Some of their behaviour felt forced and out of character in order to serve the plot. I felt like I needed more from the hero, especially since this is single POV until the very last chapter. And why was everybody huffing and shuffling? These words were used so repetitively that it was annoyingly conspicuous.

Also, writing a cop (who is meant to be a positive, father-like character) threatening the hero with a gun as though it's cute and endearingly protective is... a Choice.

On the plus side, the vibes were quite cosy (but also quite sad at times?) and the UST was excellently portrayed in the first half. That was my favourite part.

I adored this book. The holiday vibes and the setting were immaculate! And I love all these characters. The only things that really irked me was how obtuse Stella was about Luka. She was so stubborn at being blind to his feelings and also not acknowledging her own, so that was frustrating to read. I could suspend my disbelief that Stella kept her pining to herself for 10 years, but once their feelings were obvious I just got annoyed with her. And occasionally the spicy scenes were a bit vague on positioning so it was hard to follow what was actually happening logistically lol. But everything else about this book was perfect and I am so excited to read more from this author!!

How have I taken this long to read this book?! This one may be my new favorite friends to lovers book! Lovelight Farms is the perfect cozy Christmas read. You will be swooning along with the characters. Luka is a babe and a half, so sweet supportive and caring. Stella is very relatable. These two had such a deep and meaningful friendship, it was really beautiful seeing it evolve into a romantic relationship. Also, shout out to the side characters because they were equally as fun and enjoyable. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a romance that will give you all the warm fuzzies (with a smattering of spicy moments). This one is a must read this Christmas season!

The most adorable holiday romance! Set on a Christmas Tree farm. Best friends to lovers. Fake dating (but between the best friends so it didn't feel like fake dating really). I am excited this is a series with some of the side characters cause I can't wait to read their stories.
The bonus chapters/epilogues are a must 🥵

🌶️3.5/5
