From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller and viral TikTok phenomenon, The Pumpkin Spice Café, comes a brand new spicy romance set in Dream Harbor!
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 need 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 cozy romantic mystery with a HEA guaranteed!

This is the second book of the Dream Harbor series and the story is centered between Hazel, the manager of the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore and Noah, a charming fisherman.
Hazel is nearing to her thirties. She never had fun and was serious all the time. She one day, in the romance section finds clues among the romance books and decides to solve the clues. But she enrolls the help of charming fisherman Noah who promises to solve the clues. Noah doesn’t believe in serious relationships but with Hazel…it feels different. Hazel also learns lots of fun things to do with Noah and the two eventually starts to fall in love with one another.
This was a great book, and I have to say this book is so much better than the Pumpkin Spice Cafe. I could immediately feel the chemistry between Noah and Hazel. Although the whole story sounds like a Hallmark movie, it was interesting and enjoyable to read. Hazel sound a lot like me–a book nerd. Other than that, I guess this was a typical love story romance between a book nerd and a fisherman. Worth four stars.
