Bennett Ellis is on vacation in Dream Harbor trying to take a break from both his life and his constant desire to fix things.
But somehow fate finds Ben trapped by a blanket of snow at Kira’s farm, and, despite her Grinchiest first impressions, with the glow of the fairy lights twinkling in the trees, and the promise of a warming hot chocolate, maybe, just maybe, these two lost souls will have a Christmas they’ll remember forever…

A great read, Hallmark Christmas movie in a book. I loved it!
5By 1970LOLJMAA great read, Hallmark Christmas movie in a book. I loved it! My husband and I read the book together snuggled up in bed.best book in the series!
5By all time lorraine<3i’m so excited to read the next, these books make me wanna romanticize my own lifeEh, a hallmark movie you fall asleep to
2By niamarie.hcute but had to force myself to finish. the type of hallmark movie you fall asleep too, slow slow burn - characters are forgettableNot bad but not my fav
3By KaytikekI’ve now read the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd books in the Dream Harbor series. This one isn’t a bad story tied together but I guess how it plays out and the personalities in this one (The Christmas Tree Farm) just isn’t my favorite and I feel it could’ve played out better. I did enjoy the Pumpkin Spice Cafe, def more sexy scenes in that one, and The Cinnamon Bun Book Store was cute too, I loved Hazel & Noah’s love story most. Unsure if I will continue the series from here as my interest is fading, but I at least recommend the first 2 books.This was sweet
4By SaraLannzWe watch Kira’s heart thaw while finding her place in a new town. Bennett is an unexpected surprise who now becomes a part of her story. This would be my 2nd choice behind Cinnamon Bun Bookstore. Jeanie is a great backup/support character for Bennett.Very cute
4By MrsValdez7Love these books so far, they’re very cute. Still have enough steam to be interesting and yet stay wholesome somehow. I just feel like after a while of reading the drama aspect gets a little predictable and drags on for too long. Hasn’t kept me from reading the first 3 books and preordering the others.BEST BINGE READ
5By Betta FabbinaeAs someone who can never sleep on Christmas Eve, this book was the defenition of the best binge read!Love this author
5By KuDiosKeShe makes you feel and her writing is great ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Great Christmas book to read year round
5By cattkeGreat book. Loved the characters and can’t wait to read more about them in book 2Escape to Dream Harbor
5By josieboppLoved this book and the others in this series. I am a sucker for the meet cute and she does it so well in her stories. I especially enjoy how she incorporates the characters from the other books. You get updated on how they are doing which is my favorite part. Whenever you need to go somewhere special you can pick up your book and go to Dream Harbor. A nice positive escape from your everyday.Christmas Magic
4By ccbirdwritesKira and Bennet. Bennet and Kira. I simply loved them. Dream Harbor remains its lovely little self with all the characters I have come to adore in the first 2 books. Only this book leveled up with hidden treasure, a pack of adorable dogs, and a hint of Christmas…after all it is set on a Christmas tree farm. It makes me want to pack up, buy a Christmas tree farm, and live my holiday movie fantasy. Until then I will wait patiently for book 4 next year!Fun and cozy holiday read!
4By TheDivineMrsZI’ve really enjoyed reading the Dream Harbor series and loved having this holiday book to kick off the season! The story was sweet and uplifting with just the right amount of steam. The town (as its own entity) played less of a character role than it did in the first 2 books and it made me realize I missed it - though the author did a great job of including a few of the town's characters to keep everything tied in and relevant. I love getting to visit past characters in every new book in the series.Just the right amount of sappy!
5By SappyfromWII’ve read all three books in this series, and while they do follow a pattern, sometimes a pattern is good. Two thumbs up!The Christmas Tree Farm
