Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - The Pumpkin Spice Café

I finished this book so quickly I literally feel like I absorbed it, it was so good! Such a cute small town romance which I am a sucker for and although it’s very faced paced we also get some great character developments and hints at some future stories!! So excited to read more of this author!

An autumnal, light, easy to read small-town romance, but the main characters Logan and Jeanie fall for each other too quickly, in my opinion. It was a spicy read that didn't quite hit the spot. So, it's a romance of a flannel wearing farmer who needs therapy and a woman who's inherited the cafe from her aunt, trying to find herself. The small town element and autumnal theme work, but for me, there needed to be more, both in terms of character development and plot. Ultimately not for me.

I really liked this book and the small-town romance as well as the natural seeming relationships between the main characters. I wasn't aware that there would be two chapters of very heavy sex scenes in Chapters 31 and 26 and these, especially as a younger reader, took me by surprise and made these parts less enjoyable.

Very atmospheric very autumnal I loved it. I finally picked up this book after seeing it for weeks on tiktok and it did not disappoint! If you’re after a cheesy, lighthearted romcom this is the one for you! Perfect for those of us who romanticise every season. One thing I will say is there is LOTS of sexual content so if that’s not something you like I would be careful. The characters are lovely if a little stereotypical gender wise and you really root for them. A cozy autumn read I’m glad I picked up!
