All it takes is a little bit of sugar and spice
Review The Cinnamon Bun Book Store:⭐️⭐️⭐️,75
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Another fun, romantic book in the most idyllic town you can imagine. Yes, I very much enjoyed this second book in de Dream Harbor series.
The personal growth Hazel and Noah go through is huge. Both their backstories are well laid out which gives depth to the story. And of course the idyllic setting in Dream Harbor is just… well, a dream!
I especially could identify with Hazel, her interests and hobbies and the insecurity she has. And of course I would love to have her job!
What I liked less was the amount of miscommunication and thinking for someone else. I guess I just don’t like that trope as much. Besides that I really liked the story!
It was fast paced and the smut was delicious! Who wouldn’t want a Noah in their life 😏
Some of my favorite quotes:
📚Hazel was literally surrounded by amazing stories, books filled with love and adventure and life, but Hazel herself was stuck
📚 She wanted to say more. That he was a breath of fresh air in her musty life, that he was slowly reminding her how to let go, that he was waking her up like the sun after a long winter.
📚 I always bring a book, just in case
📚 It’s growing on me, for sure. Even throughout I still stringent identificatie as a cozy-season girl
📚 She didn’t need a new life or to be a new person. She just needed to look at herself, at her life, in a new light
📚 Recklessness won the day
⚓️ And look at that, dreams really do come true
Blurb from The Cinnamon Bun Book Store
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… (Source: Bol.com)
