“This is the Pumpkin Spice Latte of Rom-Coms: sweet, spicy, and aggressively autumnal. Sure, it’s largely devoid of nutritional value, but that’s not why you ordered it. Laurie Gilmore combines the Gilmore Girls plus Hallmark movie vibes with pages-long spice scenes that’s BookTok catnip. (Mixed metaphors any one?) You’ll know what you are getting, just like when you order that PSL. ”

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!
