pickAnother cute book in the series
Read for reading challenges
4/5
I‘m coming off a slooooooow reading week thanks to one good book where the author‘s syntax didn‘t quite jive with my brain and another where I was too distracted to give it my full attention, so I‘m mighty glad to be flying through THE CINNAMON BUN BOOKSTORE! I‘m pretty sure the entire plot will flee my mind within a few days, but that‘s fine. I need books to be enjoyable in the moment, not memorable for ever and ever.
pick4✨This series is proving to be a new favorite. Hazel, a bookstore manager, is finding passages highlighted in the bookstore books. These clues are helping her live a little bit before she turns 30. Noah is a fisherman that lives a lot and is up for an adventure when Hazel asks. Unlikely love, dreamy town, and a few conversations with our previous couple. 🥰 it‘s pretty spicy which was a bit too much for me. Otherwise, I loved it!
pickI devoured this book - it's rare for me to finish anything in less than a week. But I related to Hazel a lot. I knew there'd be a happy ending, but i desperately needed to read it. It wasn't even high stakes but I just needed to know. #04-2025
so-soI put this series on hold in November and of course they are dropping in 3-2-1 sequence 😜 I liked the storyline with the HEA romance between Hazel and Noah as they uncover the mystery of marred books her shop but thought Noah‘s personal issues could have been more credible if he was written older than 25. My issue was I became bored of the lengthy focus on spice (and constant gushy inarticulated feelings) and wanted to get back to story.
pickI‘m not sure why but I gravitate to these when I‘m going through a stressful or difficult time. This one was my favorite of the three. I really loved how the couple related to each other and brought each other exactly the support they needed. 💕✨
pick3rd book read November 2024
Second book in the Dream Harbor series
I liked more than the first book but not as much as the third one which I already reviewed. The third one was my favorite one so far. But this story was charming. Hazel was finding secret messages hidden in some books. At the begging she was upset because books were “used” hast not been paid but then she intrigued…messages seem to be related with herself, things she wanted to⬇️
so-soI mistook this for a cozy mystery, not a romance, when I picked it off my TBR. (That's on me and the marketing department, not the author).
It's possible I didn't enjoy this as much because I was expecting / wanting something else, but I just didn't care about the characters.
pickCozy smut book number 2! I love these! This one was definitely way spicier than the first one. So good though! This one was about Hazel and Noah and i love how its all the same characters in each book but just focuses on one couples story. Now i can start The Christmas Tree Farm!
[first initial], I returned to my small town for the holidays, [favorite color], and fell in love with [birth month].
Broke after a divorce, I returned to my small town for the holidays, won the holiday bake off, and I fell in love with a rugged mountaineer.

Friday was a hard day teaching. I had two seniors pick up their bags and just leave. Very disrespectful and a little hurt because I care too much, but still have to muscle through one more week. A little retail therapy did help. I just need some words of encouragement, prayers, and good vibes my way if you have a chance. 💛
Thank you so much, @Marmie7 for this delightful package! Where in the world did you find the popcorn?!🍿 My little swooped in for the ornament right away lol. It's supposed to get super cold later this week, so I plan to hibernate with this new book, the hot cocoa ☕️ and sweets🍫! Thank you again! ❤️💚

pickPossibly an odd take — I liked this better than the first book. I really felt like we got to know the characters better, and that they had more depth than in the first book. The book-led scavenger hunt is a cute premise, and was an interesting way to get the two mains interacting. Another cute read for the holidays!
so-so3.5⭐️ Thought that it was ok; not as good as the first one in the series. I thought that the author could have been more restrained in how many sex scenes were played out and there could have been more of an actual story, like in the first book. #2024 #fiction #romance #contemporaryfiction
pickDream Harbor is my happy place and I love and adored the cinnamon bun bookstore. This book had so much heart and plenty of spice!! Can‘t wait to read the next one in the series!!
pick2 months before Hazel turns 30. She thinks her life is too dull & decides to do all the crazy things you do in your 20s over the next 2 months. When Hazel discovers a clue hidden in a book in the bookstore she works, Noah is there, happy to help. This turns into a scavenger hunt and them spending some time together
I‘ve never read a romance with this much focus on consent and communication during steamy scenes. This is more steamy than the 1st
These books are my happy place!
Im starting this one today and im realizing that after working all day and then being in bed hours before i should be, these books are the perfect read!
I need to start reading more of the cozy mysteries i have!
so-soFelt very generic, unoriginal, but was quite entertaining.
pickThese just honestly feel like book hugs. Copious sexy time in this one compared to book one.
pickAnother cute and steamy installment in the series! I‘ll definitely be reading the 3rd book next month.
#bookspinbingo - got a bingo with this one!

Book 2 had a bit more 🌶️🌶️ than the first. Still a fun, light read and exactly what I needed last week.
pickSuch a fun, cozy read. A scavenger hunt with the clues inside books and plenty of baked goods. Count me in.
I think I liked book two more than the first. I will definitely be adding the third book to my December #BookSpinBingo list.

pickI read this is hardly no time at all. Loved it!
pickSweet, charming, golden retriever younger guy who it takes a while for recognition to dawn. Always love a book with a bookseller character, especially one as delightful as Hazel. Nice escape leading into fall 😍 #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5
What a heartwarming follow-up in The Pumpkin Spice Series. I have to say I enjoyed this one more than the first🧡
pickThis is the second book in the series. It was a little more steamy than the first one. Very cute book! Fast read.
Okay, I just finished book two of this series and they are so much fun! Such cozy and sweet books! 🍁🍂 I'm really looking forward to jumping into book three soon! 📚💕
pickI adored this book!! It‘s the second in the series with the most relatable, bookish, sweet and smart FMC. I can‘t wait for the next book in the series!
4.5 ⭐️
2️⃣5️⃣ This was much better than the first book in the series. I preferred the couple and there was chemistry. This one has made me want to visit the east coast!

I don‘t like spooky books but I did tag my most anticipated fallish read for the month!
pickIt's cozy reads season, and this series is perfect for this time of year. You've got small town, opposites attract, and he falls first, all combined for Hazel and Noah's story. The "mystery" is low stakes, allowing the couple to get to know each other as their relationship grows. Of course, you have some spicy love scenes and a HEA to make you smile. Plus, for us bookish women, who doesn't like seeing themselves reflected in a steamy romance.
Book two was just delivered! Adding this one and the first one to my Fall/Halloween TBR list. It works out perfectly because the third book is Christmas themed!
pickAnother perfect story in Dream Harbor. I think I liked this one more than the first because there‘s a lot of similarities between me & Hazel. Like Hazel, as I approach my 30s I worry I‘ll regret how I spent my time. Unlike me Hazel decides to do something about it. Hazel & Noah decide to have a summer of fun before her 30th birthday. Noah is a total cinnamon roll book boyfriend. This was seriously just a fun & cute read.
