I’d heard so many good things about this book and it didn’t disappoint! Jeanie and Logan are a fantastic couple and I enjoyed their story. Both characters need a bit of a change in life so they’re great together. The small town setting with the funny characters really drew me in and I found myself chuckling along so many times. Read this one on a flight and couldn’t put it down.

This was a book I picked up with high expectations: unfortunately, I wasn't won over. The author's writing is very good, but I found the character development very shallow; I was expecting much more. The setting of the book is incredible, it makes you want to visit the café and take a walk around the city. For fans of the TV show Gilmore Girls, it's a must-read.
But I'll say again that the characters lacked development, since the book takes place over a period of 1 month.
However, it's worth mentioning that although I was sad, it was this reading that got me out of the literary hangover of months without being able to finish a book.

This book is a cozy autumn day, a fuzzy blanket and a pumpkin spice latte in book form. I honestly enjoyed this novel so much and love every other book in the small town series by Laurie gilmore.

This is the first book in the Dream Harbour series by a new to me author. It's a cosy cute quick read, perfect for autumn. With its feel good vibes of the Gilmore Girls and small town living. A will, they won't they stay together senario after the couples numerous fall outs?
The gorgeous cover artwork invites you to pick it up and curl up in front of a fire with a cosy blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and take time away from the real world.

So, so cozy! Perfect for reading on a rainy fall day: pure comfort.
Sweet and heartwarming: I can’t wait to read the next books in the series!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital review copy in exchange for my honest thoughts!

It was so cosy (and spicier than what I thought!) and such the perfect Autumn read! Jeanie and Logan are just such Cinnamon Rolls!

I really enjoyed this book. It gave off the autumn feel with love in the air. I enjoyed the chemistry between Jeanie & Logan. It was an enjoyable easy book and I want to read more from this author.

From the cover you might expect a little more mystery in this book but it is a fast, light read. Did much conflict or character development happen? No but its a nice cleanser to just check out and have a nice fluffy read.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe was a fun story. I appreciate the personal growth that multiple characters go through. It was great to see the different characters overcome their challenges and support each other.

This one was a pleasant surprise to me - I started reading and thought I'd inadvertently requested a cosy, which I try to avoid because the genre conventions of no spice are not my thing. So imagine my delight when I found out it was a rule breaking cosy-with-spice! Sweet romance, and a solid start to the series.

This was a cosy book filled with all the autumnal vibes and plenty of spice! It had me smiling from start to finish. I look forward to reading the next cinnamon book!

So cute and it was one I just couldn’t put down.. I loved this book so much that I had to buy a copy right away and I already recommended to everyone.

I really enjoyed this read. It was sweet and enjoyable. Not reallt what I usually read but it was fun and cozy. I think this book is easy to read and perfect to curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee or tea.

Loved this book! I'm a sucker for a seasonal romance and this one certainly delivered. It was just the right amount of cozy.

Fall is my favorite season and this book really transported me into the middle of the season. I really enjoyed the different side characters that we got to meet and the small town feel. I cannot wait to read more books in the series as Laurie releases them.

In Laurie Gilmore's The Pumpkin Spice Café,

Jeanie receives an unexpected gift: her aunt's beloved café. Leaving her city life behind, Jeanie relocates to Dream Harbor, ready to settle into her new life.
However, she soon discovers mysterious occurrences at the café, and encounters the undeniably handsome but grumpy, Logan. Despite his best efforts to resist Jeanie's charm, Logan finds himself falling fast.

Overall I liked this book very much. It is a delightful cozy romance that is perfect for anyone who loves small-town charm, found family and Gilmore Girls vibes. I loved the grumpy-sunshine dynamic between Jeanie and Logan.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for this book.

This book was a cute quick read. I did really enjoy the overall story plot with how the romance was introduced! I gave it only 4 out of 5 stars because the main characters needed a little more depth to really bring out their character development. I will be recommending this book to my friends!

I'm a bit late to the Dream Harbor party, but thanks to my lovely friends in my Instagram UK book chat, I've now joined a Laurie Gilmore chat, and I'm up-to-date! Reviews for the next two are coming soon!

The Pumpkin Spice Café I listened to as an audiobook, whilst pottering around in the garden a few months ago. Dream Harbor definitely gives off Stars Hollow vibes (if you know, you know), and although I live in a small village, I'd quite like a local coffee shop I could walk to every morning for my pumpkin spice latte or my peppermint mocha, with an owner who is chatty and kind like Jeanie and inevitably ends up making friends with almost everyone that walks in.

I love a small town series, and in Dream Harbor, everyone knows everyone else and there aren't are secrets - no matter how hard you try to keep them! If you fancy trying a new series, give The Pumpkin Spice Café a try. There's lots of romance, tons of coffee and just a little bit of spice.

Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter and Libro FM for the opportunity to listen to and review The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore.

I wanted to love it, I really did. The aesthetic is 100% me. I finished it last night and was left feeling like something was missing. If you've read it, maybe you can agree that the story felt as short as Logan and Jeannie's relationship before the "L" word came into play. The first chapter of the book made the rest of the book easily predictable. It was a shortened version of a Hallmark movie (except the "spice" in it). I wish there would've been more drama and more story, something more to cling to. I gave it my best effort and my best tries to love it but alas I can only say that I just "liked" it.

This was such a cute read and perfect for this time of year. I absolutely love the cover and this edition with the pumpkin edges is stunning.

Jeanie moves to Dream Harbour to take over running her aunts Pumpkin Spice Cafè and she moves into the apartment above. She meets Logan the local farmer when he is delivering the pumpkins.

I loved the whole setting and the other characters we get to meet. Also do not let the cute cover fool you. This book is really quite spicy!!

I’m looking forward to reading the second book in the series.
