Wishing Wood Books in Order

The Wishing Wood series returns to the enchanted forest resort introduced in Holly Martin’s treehouse books, this time embracing its full fairy tale potential. Wishing Wood is a place where treehouses nestle among the branches, hot tubs steam under the stars and local legends say that wishes made beneath certain trees have a habit of coming true.

Each novel centres on a different heroine who arrives at the resort carrying emotional baggage, only to find that the wooded setting, the warm hearted Brookfield family and one particular man change her life in unexpected ways. The stories mix romantic comedy with themes of family, identity and the pull of a place that feels like home.

In The Blossom Tree of Dreams Indigo Bloom travels to Wishing Wood to tell River Brookfield that she is pregnant after a single unforgettable night together. River, juggling family responsibilities and the demands of running the resort, has no memory of her. Indigo decides to keep her secret for a while, working at the resort and letting a new relationship grow between them before revealing the truth. Their story balances laugh out loud misunderstandings with tender moments as River slowly realises why he felt drawn to Indigo from the first time he saw her.

The Wisteria Tree of Love follows Meadow, who returns to Wishing Wood to work with weddings held among the trees. She has always loved Bear Brookfield, her best friend’s brother, but timing and fear have kept them apart. As they decorate treehouses with lanterns, plan ceremonies and navigate complicated family histories, their friendship shifts into something deeper. The wisteria draped tree that gives the book its name becomes a quiet witness to their gradual, hopeful change.

In The Christmas Tree Cottage Evergreen Winter arrives at Wishing Wood in her red caravan to play Mrs Christmas at the resort’s festive celebrations. She plans to leave on Christmas Eve, as she always does, never staying anywhere long enough to put down roots. Heath Brookfield, who plays Santa and runs the resort with his siblings, is determined to convince her that this village in the woods – and perhaps his arms – could finally be a permanent home. Their story is full of snow, twinkling lights, stockings hung in treehouses and a gentle tug of war between freedom and belonging.

Across the series, Wishing Wood is both magical and grounded. There are talking animals and whispered legends if you like to read them that way, but there are also early morning deliveries, staff meetings and the daily graft of keeping guests happy. Martin uses that mix to keep the stories rooted in real emotions even as the setting feels just a little enchanted.

Readers who enjoy the idea of a woodland retreat, complete with elevated walkways, family run hospitality and an undercurrent of destiny, will find Wishing Wood an easy place to imagine stepping into for a long weekend of reading.
