About this listen

By #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Café

‘Unputdownable, I devoured [it] within days… Dream Harbor is not short of a vibrant and hilarious cast of characters to help breathe life into the already charming town’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📚📚📚📚

Every book in the Dream Harbor series can be read as a standalone.

When a secret message turns up hidden in a book in the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, Hazel can't understand it. As more secret codes appear between the pages, she decides to follow the trail of clues… she just needs someone to help her out.

Gorgeous and outgoing fisherman, Noah, is always up for an adventure. And a scavenger hunt sounds like a lot of fun. Even better that the cute bookseller he's been crushing on for months is the one who wants his help!

Hazel didn’t go looking for romance, but as the treasure hunt leads her and Noah around Dream Harbor, their undeniable chemistry might be just as hot as the fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon buns the bookstore sells…

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is a Sunday Times and USA Today bestselling cozy romantic mystery with a HEA guaranteed!

Tropes:

  • opposites attract
  • small town
  • forced proximity
  • he falls first

Didn’t like the narrative’s voice didn’t hear any real emotion or warmth telling the story. The story itself was ok, but felt a bit to try hard. I do like this book better than the first book. Love the covers of the book in this series.

A little disappointed

The narration didn't quite hit for me. The narrator sounds too old for the main role. The concept has been done better, it just felt a bit like it was trying too hard.

I may have purchased this book with higher expectations than were warranted. I don’t mind a funny rom com, but this book was boring! Plenty of mediocre sex scenes, no plot. Weak. Wouldn’t recommend.

If love scenes are the central theme you’re after…

My husband who has listened to the story second hand as I’ve done dishes or cooked dinner or scooped kitty litter agrees the steamy scenes as spicy spicy 🌶️ 🥵 so be prepared. However I loved Hazel and Noah’s romance, it was so super sweet and natural as though it was meant to be, definitely worth the oohs and ahhs and sighs…
The narrator did a great job and I enjoyed listening to her.

Sensually Spicy
