On Christmas Tree Cove is the first book in The Adair Family series. It is a second chance festive romance.

The book starts on a tragic note, when the parents of Morgan and her siblings are killed in an accident on Christmas Eve. As a result, Morgan gave up her dream, and her boyfriend, Jesse, in order to make sure that her siblings have all that they need to progress in life.
Six years later, Jesse returns to Christmas Tree Cove .......

I loved the history of the Christmas Eve tradition of floating a fully lit Christmas tree in the cove. A very enjoyable and easy read.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author for letting me read a copy of this book in return for my honest review

An Engaging Holiday Story

This was a sweet holiday second chance romance. There is some humor included, along with some cute sentimental scenes. I enjoyed the gradual unfolding of the mystery surrounding the floating lit Christmas tree appearing in the cove each Christmas Eve night, although it wasn’t hard to figure out why the anonymous tradition stopped. The author has managed well in creating this place, and I found myself looking up some of the holiday traditions mentioned.

Morgan Adair is a seaplane pilot in Christmas Tree Cove, but six years ago, her dream was to become a commercial plane pilot. When her parents died in an accident, she gave up her dream and her boyfriend to raise her siblings. That was also the last night that the lit up Christmas tree appeared floating in the harbor on Christmas Eve. Now her siblings are all out on their own, and she is stagnating in the family home, scrimping and saving to keep it in good repair and not moving forward. When her siblings come home for Thanksgiving and tell her they want her to see the house because they need the money, she panics, but knows it is time. At the same time Jesse Taylor has returned to Christmas Tree Cove and they begin to reconnect. He is a successful freelance photographer and wants to open a local gallery. He hires Morgan to set it up and prepare for the opening. As they spend more time together, they begin to realize that those feelings from 6 years ago are still there. At the same time, they try to solve the mystery of the Christmas Eve Tree. Who started the tradition? Why? Who kept it going? Why did it stop?

I really enjoyed this story and am happy to hear that this is the first book in a series. I really liked Morgan. She was such a great big sister, making sure that her sisters and brother got a good start in their adult life. She was afraid to go into the village to see the family fishing boat and the store, but eventually gave in and realized that life goes on. The mystery of the floating Christmas Tree added another aspect to the story and I enjoyed learning about the tradition along with Morgan and Jesse. There is friendship, family, new beginnings, second chance romance and lots of Christmas festivities in this wonderful story. I am looking forward to the next Adair Family story.

This was such a delightful read! A quick, heartwarming story that left me "oohing" and "ahhing" at the end. Sometimes, it’s the love and support of family and friends that help us hear the messages we need and take those next important steps in life.

The story beautifully captures the magic of Christmas, family traditions, and second chances at love. Morgan and Jesse’s journey was sweet and touching, and the floating Christmas tree tradition added a unique charm to the story.

Morgan and Jesse have a 2nd chance of romance. Bittersweet at times, but a quick and easy read. Would recommend.

Morgan Adair lost her parents tragically on Christmas Eve six years ago, she abandoned all her dreams to make sure her younger siblings were taken care off and now leads her life still in the parental home, while her siblings are all scattered.
Morgan gave up her dream of going to flight school and the love of her life.
Jessie Taylor is home back in the cove and his ne love is till there.
Will the magic of Christmas Tree Cove give up its secrets and will Morgan and Jesse forget the past and forge a future.
Brilliant feel good Christmas read enjoyed this book immensely.

On Christmas Tree Cove is the first in a series set around the Adair family in the village of Christmas Tree Cove. This first novel focuses on Morgan Adair and her love interest Jesse Taylor. It's a cute, clean Christmas story. On Christmas Tree cove is a light easy read and I look forward to reading the other novels in this series.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.

When Morgan's parents died she made taking care of her siblings her priority. Even going so far as to break up her her boy Jesse who she had planned on moving to Chicago with. Now years later and Jesse is back and their feelings for each other are as strong as ever. Lovely magical Christmas story.

I received a free copy of, On Christmas Tree Cove, by Sarah Vance-Tompkins, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book one in The Adair Family Series. Morgan Adair has lost her parents, and Christmas has not been the same for the seaplane pilot. This year her siblings want to sell their family home. I like Morgan, she is a good character, this was a nice holiday read.

This book is a rerelease, and I was provided a copy by @tulepublishing and @netgalley
For over a hundred years on Christmas Eve a floating Christmas tree appeared in Christmas tree cove. The tree has been missing the last six years, not that Morgan Adair has had time to dwell on it. After the death of her parents she gave up all of her dreams to support her siblings and finishing raising them. But they are all grown up and want to sell the family home, which Morgan agrees to in exchange for one last family Christmas at home. Unfortunately someone else, someone who if things had worked out differently would have been her future, has also decided to come home for Christmas.
This was a sweet and quick Christmas read. It is the first in a series so there are two more to follow about the magic of Christmas Tree cove. The setting was beautiful and made a Christmas in a small fishing village sound idyllic.
