🍁🍁🍁🍁

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 spicy romance novel with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic, a small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!

Gilmore Girl Vibes

Amazing book. Can’t wait for the next two. Hopefully they have the audible version out at release.

A light & easy fall read

It’s charming! It’s predictable but entertaining.

If you like easy ready romances, this is probably the book for you! I’m definitely going to read the second book as I was happy with this experience!

Also the fall vibes were fun! Good kick off for the autumn season

Fun!

It was just right story, rom-com & I look forward to reading another Laurie Gilmore book in near future.

Beautiful Small Town Love

Reminds me of a Halmark movie over Christmas time. Love the small town feel of a good love story.

Cozy cute story with some spice

Cozy cute story with some spice. Comfort read, predictable…like a Fall hallmark movie with a bit of mystery and spicy lovemaking.
