About this listen

 The first book of the viral Dream Harbor series by #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Laurie Gilmore! 🍁

TikTok Made Me Buy It – Winner of the TikTok Shop Book of the Year 2024, Sunday Times and USA Today bestseller. As seen on Good Morning America!

🍁🍁🍁🍁

When Jeanie’s aunt gifts her the beloved Pumpkin Spice Café in the small town of Dream Harbor, Jeanie jumps at the chance for a fresh start away from her very dull desk job.

Logan is a local farmer who avoids Dream Harbor’s gossip at all costs. But Jeanie’s arrival disrupts Logan’s routine and he wants nothing to do with the irritatingly upbeat new girl, except that he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.

Will Jeanie’s happy-go-lucky attitude win over the grumpy-but-gorgeous Logan, or has this city girl found the one person in town who won’t fall for her charm, or her pumpkin spice lattes…

The Pumpkin Spice Café is a cozy romantic novel with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic, a small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!

Felt like my grandma was reading this to me, which made me feel really uncomfortable when it got to the spicy parts of the book.

Wrong choice of narrator

I love the cover of this book and that’s what made me want to read this series, however disappointed. Didn’t like the narrative’s voice felt like she was just reading a book rather than telling a story.

A little disappointed

Complete wrong voice for this audiobook. Feels way too old and didn’t connect to the characters. Read the book by itself. The audiobook ruins it

WRONG NARRATOR

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A pretty good story but the narrator pronounced so many words in such a way that it seems that she hadn't heard them before. Did no one proof listen to this before it was posted? Also, it seems the main characters are around their mid 39s, but the narrators voice sounds much older. She didn't give the right vibe for the story at all.

Horrible Narrator

Feel good holiday romance, read if you are in the mood for warm and fuzzies.

Corny holiday romance
