The Plot (from Goodreads):
Miriam Blum has no choice but to face the past she thought she’d left behind when she inherits her great-aunt’s Christmas tree farm in this witty, glittering, heart-filled romcom.
Thanks to her thriving art career, Miriam Blum finally has her decoupaged glitter ducks in a row—until devastating news forces her to a very unwanted family reunion. Her beloved great-aunt Cass has passed and left Miriam part-owner of Carrigan’s, her (ironically) Jewish-run Christmas tree farm.
But Miriam’s plans to sit shiva, avoid her parents, then put Carrigan’s in her rearview mirror are spoiled when she learns the business is at risk of going under. To have any chance at turning things around, she’ll need to work with the farm’s grumpy manager—as long as the attraction sparking between them doesn’t set all their trees on fire first.
Noelle Northwood wants Miriam Blum gone—even if her ingenious ideas and sensitive soul keep showing Noelle there’s more to Cass’s niece than meets the eye. But saving Carrigan’s requires trust, love, and risking it all—for the chance to make their wildest dreams come true.
The Review:
I adored this book! There are so many adorable queer holiday romances coming out this year, and they’re all so unique and wonderful in their own ways. This one is a Jewish holiday romance set on an ironically owned Christmas tree farm, with enemies-to-lovers and grumpy/sunshine between our queer MCs.
The characters in Season of Love can’t be beat. I love a grumpy MC, so Noelle was my instant favorite. Miriam’s backstory really made her character shine, though, and gave this book the depth that I loved. I really enjoyed reading about Miriam’s growth and how she struggled to overcome lasting damage from her abusive childhood.
Miriam and Noelle were the perfect example of opposites attract, and I loved their chemistry and banter.
This book just gave me so much holiday joy, I can’t even put it into words. I would love to visit Carrigan’s and all the wonderful things they had to offer!
The ending seemed like a setup for a second-chance romance between Miriam’s cousin and her ex, which I absolutely need to get my hands on ASAP. I can’t wait to return to Carrigan’s and these lovely characters!
