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…

This was my favourite one so far. 4.5 stars. Another cheesy hallmark style romance and this one was even sweeter than the rest. BENNETT ELLIS!! He was the sweetest golden retriever mmc I have ever read he had me thinking for a second I should start going on dates 🤣🤣🤣. I really loved getting to see the mcs grow in this and also realize that growing doesn’t always mean changing things about yourself but rather accepting yourself for who you are and doing those things in more thought out, healthier ways. Perfect cozy Christmas read, it definitely got me even more only the holiday spirit.

This has been my favorite of the series so far!! Kira is all grumpy and trying to be hyper independent it's adorable. Getting to spend time with Logan, Jeanie, Hazel, and Noah again was also pretty awesome.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ I adored Bennett. He’s the ultimate golden retriever MMC: caring, helpful, and always rooting for Kira. But unfortunately, Kira made this a tough read for me. Her actions, especially toward Bennett, often felt inconsistent with her supposed savvy businesswoman persona. However, the Christmas vibes were spot-on! From the festive tree farm setting to a perfectly timed snowstorm, it definitely delivered on cozy holiday cheer.
