About this listen

By #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Café

‘Unputdownable, I devoured [it] within days… Dream Harbor is not short of a vibrant and hilarious cast of characters to help breathe life into the already charming town’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📚📚📚📚

Every book in the Dream Harbor series can be read as a standalone.

When a secret message turns up hidden in a book in the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, Hazel can't understand it. As more secret codes appear between the pages, she decides to follow the trail of clues… she just needs someone to help her out.

Gorgeous and outgoing fisherman, Noah, is always up for an adventure. And a scavenger hunt sounds like a lot of fun. Even better that the cute bookseller he's been crushing on for months is the one who wants his help!

Hazel didn’t go looking for romance, but as the treasure hunt leads her and Noah around Dream Harbor, their undeniable chemistry might be just as hot as the fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon buns the bookstore sells…

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is a Sunday Times and USA Today bestselling cozy romantic mystery with a HEA guaranteed!

Tropes:

  • opposites attract
  • small town
  • forced proximity
  • he falls first

Loved this book, however it was strange for me to read my name so many times 😂

Very cute with a bit more smut.

Ohh I loved this story, friends to lovers, one bed, miscommunication… Or rather lack of communication. Loved this book, but I don’t love the narrator. Overall 4 stars!

Sweet and sexy

As a busy working mum, I don’t have much time to sit down and read, so I listen to audiobooks instead. I discovered Laurie Gilmore's books through social media recommendations, and after the first one, I was completely hooked! This second book is by far my favorite, and I’m already counting down the days until the next two release next year. If you’re looking for an engaging adult romance that offers a perfect escape, this is the book for you. Just a heads-up—it’s not suitable for little ears, so be sure to pop in your headphones if kids are nearby!

A Must-Listen Romance Escape

Again I did enjoy this book, the vibes and aesthetic, I feel that the way it’s written it’s made for children until it’s quite evidently not. I don’t know anyone who says ‘has the hots for’ and that made me cringe a few times that it cropped up.
The book also seemed to move extremely fast. Even though you can read it as a standalone I feel if I hadn’t have read the pumpkin spice cafe first I would have just been thrust into the world and a little lost. You should 100% read them as a series and not standalone.

Almost the same
