About this audiobook

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

🍁🍁🍁🍁

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...

If you’re craving a cozy, feel-good read, The Pumpkin Spice Café is pure comfort in book form. It’s sweet, simple, and full of small-town charm—the kind of story that feels like sipping a warm latte on a crisp fall afternoon. The café setting is inviting, the characters are easy to root for, and the romance unfolds gently without unnecessary drama. It doesn’t try to be overly complicated, and that’s exactly why it works. It’s soft, heartfelt, and leaves you with that warm, happy glow. If you love cozy fall vibes and a genuinely sweet love story, this one is a lovely little escape.

Felt like a kid in high school passing this book around, purely for the benefit of giggling at the sex scenes. Very cheesy, and not a good romance story. The mystery also wasn't very strong.

the book kind of slow moving and many unnecessary parts. could be partly the narrator - as the words did not flow well. but all in all, it was an ok book.
