About this listen

 The first book of the viral Dream Harbor series by #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Laurie Gilmore! 🍁

TikTok Made Me Buy It – Winner of the TikTok Shop Book of the Year 2024, Sunday Times and USA Today bestseller. As seen on Good Morning America!

🍁🍁🍁🍁

When Jeanie’s aunt gifts her the beloved Pumpkin Spice Café in the small town of Dream Harbor, Jeanie jumps at the chance for a fresh start away from her very dull desk job.

Logan is a local farmer who avoids Dream Harbor’s gossip at all costs. But Jeanie’s arrival disrupts Logan’s routine and he wants nothing to do with the irritatingly upbeat new girl, except that he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.

Will Jeanie’s happy-go-lucky attitude win over the grumpy-but-gorgeous Logan, or has this city girl found the one person in town who won’t fall for her charm, or her pumpkin spice lattes…

The Pumpkin Spice Café is a cozy romantic novel with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic, a small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!

This book was such a great book to read after stressful week of work and coming back to read it helped me relax. The author writing in this isn’t what I’m used to so found it hard to follow but the more I read the more I couldn’t put the book down. The characters is the book was amazing build up and was nice to get to know them all as well as dream harbour. This book can definitely be completed in a days read. Reason for 4 stars was I found it hard and confusing till I got half way I couldn’t put the book down as it did get better. Recommend maybe if someone likes a slow start up.

There was a lot of repeating and not really much happening. The narrator helped me to the end of the book.

Slow going

I was ready for a cute autumn themed small town romance, but I was quite bored. Banter was lacking, I couldn’t connect to the main characters, especially the male lead who had (in my opinion) an unattractive personality. The only reason they seem to like each other is because of physical attributes. Storyline was so predictable I was snorting at certain parts. The autumn vibes we’re there though. Liked the chapters about the festival and town meetings.
If you are not expecting a lot could be good for a quick read between heavy books, but it didn’t resonate with me now.

Underwhelming
