Fall and PSL season is officially upon us, so in keeping with the theme, my next review is The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore.

The Pumpkin Spice Café is a heartwarming tale set in the charming town of Dream Harbor, where the arrival of autumn brings a sense of renewal and romance. The story centers around Jeanie, a talented, but struggling café owner, and Logan, a local farmer, who is navigating his own personal challenges.

Gilmore’s writing beautifully captures the essence of fall, from the cozy ambiance of the café to the colorful foliage that frames the town. The characters are well-developed and relatable, each grappling with their own fears and aspirations. Jeanie's journey of self-discovery is particularly inspiring, as she learns to embrace her passions and take risks.

The romantic tension between Jeanie and Logan unfolds gradually, filled with sweet moments that highlight their chemistry. Gilmore skillfully weaves in themes of community, love, and the importance of following one's dreams, making the novel not just a love story, but a celebration of personal growth.

The Pumpkin Spice Café is a delightful read that captures the spirit of the fall season. It’s an engaging blend of romance and self-discovery, making it an ideal choice for those looking to cozy up with a good book this fall. I recommended this book for fans of Gilmore Girls and Hallmark movies. Perfect if you love small town romances and Luke and Lorelei’s relationship. Dream Harbor is similar to Stars Hollow complete with fall vibes and small town charm. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and meeting Jeanie’s new friends as she transitioned into a business owner and leading the cafe. This is the first book of the Dream Harbor series. It is a welcome addition to any romance novel reader. The good news is that you don’t have to say goodbye to Dream Harbor just yet. There are a couple more books in this series that are either already published or will be out soon. I definitely will be adding them to my collection.

You can purchase the book on Amazon.
