Dream Harbor strikes again <3 The love I have for Hazel and Noah is insane, I fell for them just as hard as they fell for each other hehe. I was swooning and giggling along with them the entire way. And the steamy scenes were hot - I love that for them!! Cannot wait for the next books in this series, I’ll miss Dream Harbor until then! ~possible spoiler ahead~ The ~grand finale~ had me in tears.. I want someone to profess their love for me with highlighted book quotes 😭

I Loved this one. I liked the storyline better in this one than the first but I love how the second book flowed well from the first. Excited for book three.

The perfect end of summer read! Hazel and Noah’s love story was adorable. Just like the first in the series I continue to find myself charmed by the fictional town of Dream Harbor. If I could live in any fictional town - it’s Dream Harbor. The secondary characters are just so quirky and endearing. If you loved the first book or even if you love Gilmore Girls - this is a must read! I flew through the book. It was really sweet that Hazel and Noah discovered new parts of themselves together. They really brought out the best in each other. Don’t let the cozy name fool you there is still spice 😉 I enjoyed the cozy mystery aspect of trying to figure out who was leaving in the bookstore to encourage Hazel to get out of her comfort zone and have fun! I found her character to be so relatable. I won’t give away any spoilers but that ending was so sweet! Truly the perfect ending.

I was looking for a cozy read and this definitely fit. I really like Noah and Hazel together. The book itself didn’t have a miscommunication trope but more so a no communication trope. I mean neither main character spoke what was on their mind until 80% or so. I was also slightly let down but the scavenger hunt being put on by who it was put on by. I definitely thought it was going to be Logan. Overall I enjoyed my time reading this book!

It was cute, buuut it was mostly spice...like a lot of it. The first book was so fall and cozy, this was hot and summery. The title feels a bit misleading almost. I still enjoyed it, but idk if I would really recommend it.

I just finished reading The Cinnamon Bun Book Store and I absolutely loved it! This is the 2nd book in the Dream Harbor series and it does not disappoint. This is Hazel's story. Hazel is about to turn 30 and wants her final couple of months to be wild and crazy. She has always lived a fairly quiet and calm life, but wants to show everyone that she can be exciting! Who better to help her than the sexy playboy Logan. Logan is know to bounce from woman to woman, keeping things casual. Casual is exactly what Hazel's wants... or is it? With lots of steamy sparks, laughter and sweetness, The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is such a fun, fast read. Reader also get to visit with the characters from the first book, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and see what they are up to!

I loved this book. It's a perfect fall read. I loved Noah and Hazel's dynamics. Shy mayors daughter and the town playboy. The mystery with the books was cute and really had me wondering who it could have been. 🌶🌶🌶 Loved the beach scene.

I loved this book so much. I’m not surprised I liked it though, I loved The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, and once I found out there was a sequel I preordered it so quickly. I am thankful to have been able to read this book before it is released. The story line immediately caught my eye when there was a mystery aspect to it. I enjoy a not scary mystery! Laurie Gilmore is a wonderful writer and captured my attention right away! I loved the amount of dialogue to monologue ratio; the perfect amount! This novel is written in 3rd person POV, and usually I’m not a fan of it but I really loved it. I was able to really feel what the characters were feeling at that moment in time. There was a decent amount of spice without it only being about the spicy scenes. And obviously I thought the plot was great. This is the perfect end of summer read and will have you wishing you lived in Dream Harbor during the Fall! Blurb: 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 need 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… Tropes: 📚opposites attract 📚small town 📚forced proximity 📚he falls first
