Char Reviews ‘The Cinnamon Bun Book Store’

Fall is the perfect time for a cozy romance read. What’s more comfortable than reading about a bookstore and a scavenger hunt? ‘Cinnamon Bun Book Store’ by Laurie Gilmore is the second book in the Dream Harbor series.

Hazel is about to turn thirty and realizes she hasn’t done much with her life. When everyone else in their twenties partied, she spent her days cuddled up with a good book or running a bookstore. Now on the cusp of thirty, she wants to have an adventure. When she finds a couple of books that have been highlighted, she starts to wonder why this is happening. It’s not until local fisherman Noah decides to help Hazel with her adventure and follow the clues left in the books that she realizes she can still have her adventure before she turns thirty and spends some time with a very attractive man.

Last year, ‘Pumpkin Spice Cafe’ by Laurie Gilmore was massive on Booktok. I couldn’t help but read it, so when I saw a sequel coming out, I had to get my hands on it. Hazel would be my best friend if she were real. I love reading about people who love books as much as her. Reading about her little adventures and how they followed the clues was so interesting. Noah is so sweet, and I enjoyed that he fell first. Often, when you read romance, the girl falls first, and that’s fine, but it’s nice when the guy falls first. The best part about the book is that the store owner changes the name occasionally, and everyone rolls with it. That’s an interesting sales tactic.

Also Look for the next book in the series coming out on Oct. 22nd! It will be the perfect end of fall, early winter read!
