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!

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Male love interest was an asshole forgiven so easily ?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 ⭐️ - slightly ridiculous, but very cutesy and enjoyable
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a cute story but the last 58 seconds cut off so I don’t exactly know the ending but I’m pretty sure I can figure it out!!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5So boring! Predictable a scene is spicy but not really worth it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cute, autumnal, small town romance between the local farmer Logan and coffee shop owner Jeanie. Dream Harbour is a cosy community full of thriving small businesses and social activities (it even has a book club where they read steamy romance novels - sign me up!) It was fun to visit with sunny Jeanie and stoic Logan as they tried to unravel who or what is behind the mysterious incidents at the coffee shop, while trying (and failing!) to resist their growing attraction to eachother. Looking forward to stopping by again for book 2.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the book overall . So fluffy and cute
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was just everything you expect it to be. Hallmark movie vibes with a dash of spice. Great palete cleanser between more intense books. Adorable side characters I can't wait to read more about.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's just sweet and adorable.all around.
The characters are likable and adorable. The town is its own character. Great season setting, and it's a fun read. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is basically a hallmark movie. Not the best writing, pretty corny and cringe at times but overall a feel gold romance where there really isn't any issues with the relationship or exciting plot.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hallmark type of romance ?. Cute little fall pick me up
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed the plot and the story was told well. The only thing that would have made it better was to have dual narrative....the banter would have been perfect. And it is exactly as it sounds, small town light hearted mystery with romance and a side of coffee.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed this if I hadn’t done it in audio. It was excellent audio!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I’m on the fence. But it was cute with spice. Need to try the next book in the series
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A heartwarming story for the autumn days that reminded me of Luke and Lorelei Gilmore from Gilmore girls. As a huge fan of the show, I absolutely loved it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not my cup of Pumpkin Spice. Hallmark movie with spice. The relationship pacing felt so sped up and not natural at all. Real couples don't say I love you within a few weeks of meeting.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It’s like an Hallmark movie in a book. It’s not for everyone but I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a cute cozy story. Perfect for October vibes. I liked it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very cute story! Perfect to listen to while I baked cookies!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cute cozy mystery ??⬛ perfect easy read for fall. Don’t expect this huge mystery thriller.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jeanie is adorable and gets in her head too much. She also seems to be a people pleaser. Logan is a big hunk of gorgeous too afraid of his own shadow. Glad they both got over their hang-ups so they could enjoy life and each other.
Aunt Dot and Norman were expected but a pleasant addition!
4 stars - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This had me screaming & kicking my feet with a fit of giggles. So cozy & warm. Perfect for October!
