The cinnamon bun book store by Laurie Graham


384 pages


Series: Dream Harbor (#2)


Published: August 29, 2024 by One More Chapter


Cozy romantic mystery/library






Ok fine I give up. I did not like book 1, and book 2 did not work either. It was just SO boring.




Also I saw some reviews that dissed it cos they said it was "corn". LOL. Omg did we read the same book? Yes there were a few awkward scenes, very dull.




I really do not know why these do not work. The people are just boring, the story boring. I mean she thinks 30 means death! Almost. And she must do something fun before. She is also totally embarrassed because a costumer sees her holding/reading a pirate book and she is all I do not read smut! Omg, *eyeroll*. Grow up.




Just so boring






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…

  2. So one of our Barnes & Nobles had these books on one of their tables, and I remember thinking the covers are ridiculously boring. Glad I was right.n

  4. 30 is almost death? I must be like the Crypt Keeper here! What does "corn" mean? I've seen this one all over the place, too. 384 pages is way too long if it's boring. I'll pass on this one, too!

  5. I saw mixed reviews of the first book, so I decided not to pick it up.. Sounds like a good choice.

    1. Good if it works for some, but for me it just fails

  6. Oof! Sorry this one didn't work for you. I'm surprised you still gave it a shot after not liking the first one. 😅

  7. Sometimes these cosy looking books are boring! I have been avoiding this series because I was so burnt by another of similar ilk.
