pickThis series continues to be fluffy and fun, sweet as a hot chocolate on a cold day. The power dynamic of a boss/employee romance is tricky to navigate, but I think Gilmore does a fair job of it. Archer and Iris both grow a lot over the length of the story, and watching them become a family with the lost Olive is very charming. A light read, but an enjoyable one.
My next read. I gather this is part of a series, but it sounds like fun. Hoping that I haven‘t read the previous books isn‘t a detriment.
pickAnother cute and steamy installment in the series! 🍓

pickI loved this one. Iris is a bit of a twit, but she actually kind of knew she was being a twit through the whole story so it made it easier to like her. And Olive. What a kid. #18-2025
pickThis is by far my favorite book of the series!! A hot chef who is a single father and the beloved Iris? What more could anyone ask for?
It probably doesn‘t hurt that this one has the most smut in it 😉
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Another book in this series to make you fall in love with this small town😍
pickAnother cute escape in Dream Harbor. Come for the hot chef, stay for the pancakes 🥞
so-soIt was an OK installment to the series - nothing special, wasn't super original or memorable, but quite enjoyable.
pickWhy do I love this series so much?! 🥰 What am I supposed to read now?! 😩 😭
I‘m not sure if I‘ve ever cataloged and processed a book so fast to be able to open it today!
pickYou've got some of the best tropes: single dad, forced proximity, slow burn, grumpy/sunshine, and found family. I enjoyed Iris and Archer's love story, especially when you add Olive. Sometimes, including a child in a romance can be a little cumbersome, but Laurie Gilmore did a great job with Olive. The characters we love from the previous books all make guest appearances, but I liked that the main characters of this book were new to the reader.
