Welcome to Litsy!

Yeah… I know I read them, but I didn‘t have them. 😅🤣

5✨ I could not put this down! I‘m glad that Asher dropped everything to know his daughter. It might not have been in the plans for him, but after getting to know each other he wouldn‘t have had it any other way. Iris was in a bad spot and helping the new father as a nanny helped her too. I loved how not only the relationship between father and daughter developed, but the love story as well. #SeriesLove

When your nephew needs help with a spare for their tire 45 minutes out of town. You throw on your next interesting read. 😬🥰

I just have to listen to the Cinnamon Bun book and I will have devoured this series. This one is pretty spicy 🌶️ and sweet. Also enjoyed a new cozy historical mystery series set in a cute English village during WWII . Audiobooks seem so much easier as life gets so busy when the weather is nice.

I never thought I‘d combine cute and steamy in a book description, but that exactly sums this up. It‘s a somewhat predictable plot, but with really engaging characters, and a sweet little girl who adds an interesting twist to this romance. I‘d not read the previous books in the series, but that didn‘t seem to matter. I‘m looking forward to reading those earlier installments. No strawberry pictures, but since one of the MCs is a chef, a food pic.

This 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.

Found a #pantone2025 match for this recent read!

I 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

This 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 😉
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Another book in this series to make you fall in love with this small town😍

Another cute escape in Dream Harbor. Come for the hot chef, stay for the pancakes 🥞

It was an OK installment to the series - nothing special, wasn't super original or memorable, but quite enjoyable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

So excited for my #bookspin and #doublespin this month! 🌸

😍😍😍😍

Why 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!

You'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.
