    About this audiobook

    From the author of the viral TikTok phenomenon, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, comes a new seasonal spicy romance!

    ‘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.

    ?????????

    ‘A charming break from reality’ Publishers Weekly

    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!

      The Dream Harbor gang is back! Now with Noah and Hazel's story!
      It's cute, and oh, so cozy. finished it in a day! This is 4 stars for me—I'm just not a fan of spice, but if you are, and if you love cozy and simple small-town romance, you'll love this!

      As always, the narrator Regina, is amazing.

      I'll be reading the third book—The Christmas Tree Farm. ❤️
    • 3/5
      Ended up being a lot cuter than I expected it would be
    • 5/5
      This series is a wonderful cozy, Hallmark Fall vibe. Can’t wait to read more of this series.

      Great opposites attract

      More with the wild and wonderful town, great HEA, and catch up with the previous couple.
    • 4/5
      Hazel and Noah clearly wanting more, but being to scared to ask for it for fear it would ruin what they have going on is so classically small town. I enjoyed it though.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book much more than the first! The characters were very likable and easy to root for. Although the familiar romance trope of characters hesitating to express their true feelings—something I’m not a fan of—was present, it didn’t overshadow the story. Overall, it’s a fantastic read that I highly recommend!
    • 4/5
      Quick, cute and cozy read with a little bit of spice.
    • 3/5
      Like I said, a very simple book series where you just sit back go along for the ride. This one was similar to the 1st one. Easy, simple vibes
    • 4/5
      I liked this one better than book one. The character development was good. I enjoyed the mystery and how the books placed a role.
    • 5/5
      It was a nice continuation of the series. An interesting concept.
    • 4/5
      A return trip to Dream Harbour for book 2 in the series, and I have to say I much preferred this story.

      Hazel & Noah made a sweet mismatched couple (even if i did want to shake her a few times) and their romance felt more believable and developed than the one in book 1.

      The supporting characters also seemed more rounded this time and weren't as jarring as they were previously. And the antics of the book group made me chuckle outloud.

      Overall a lovely warm read that left me looking forward to book 3.

      Still not enamoured with the narrator on the audio version, but it wasn’t quite as off-putting as it was with book 1.
    • 5/5
      Cute book, good story. Simple but sweet. Not a lot of drama between characters, which was nice.
    • 5/5
      Cute, cozy, and looks like Noah might have changed. ? Booksellers will do that to you.
