The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore
4.0

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.


I will start by saying that I read The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore prior to reading this, as they are all set in the same town with the same cast of characters. I knew that with The Christmas Tree Farm that I could look forward to solid writing and a story that flowed right along, and it did not disappoint. This is a grumpy/sunshine romance where the FMC is the grumpy newcomer to town and the sunshine MMC is the brother to The Pumpkin Spice Cafe’s FMC. I enjoyed how their story progressed, but Kira drove me nuts for about the first 3/4 of the book. She just seemed very full of herself, and tried to appear as if she did not come from a life of extreme privilege. As a character, she came across as very combative, bordering on rude at times, while the rest of the cast just tried to continue to show her genuine kindness. (She has definitely been my least favorite character so far in the series.) But as a whole, this was a very entertaining book, and I cannot wait for books 4 and 5 to release!
