Hello cozy readers! Today, we're diving into The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore, a book that's quickly becoming a TikTok favorite.
Set in the heart of Dream Harbor, this story is as comforting as your favorite fall latte—full of charm, small-town magic, and just a hint of romantic tension. When Jeanie takes over her aunt's beloved café, she finds herself trading her boring desk job for a world of pumpkin spice lattes, small-town gossip, and one particularly broody (but gorgeous) local farmer named Logan. The sparks between Jeanie and Logan are undeniable, even if he fights it every step of the way.
I loved the contrast between Jeanie's bubbly personality and Logan's grumpy reluctance. Their journey from misunderstandings to connection was heartwarming and filled with delightful moments, making this book the perfect companion for a crisp autumn afternoon. If you're a fan of small-town romance with a dash of humor and a cozy atmosphere, this one is for you!
I’m rating it a solid 4 stars, with 2 chili peppers for the spice—just enough to keep things interesting without overpowering the pumpkin spice goodness.
Tune in as I chat about why The Pumpkin Spice Café is my top pick for sweater weather reading, and why Dream Harbor might just be the next place you'll want to visit (even if only in your imagination). Grab a blanket, your favorite warm drink, and let’s get into it!
