PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Gilmore (The Gingerbread Bakery) welcomes readers back to quaint Dream Harbor for another gentle small-town romance with Hallmark movie vibes. Daisy Scott is just "one in a long line of Daisies," including her mother and grandmother, to run her family's flower shop. Business is struggling after the last three weddings Daisy was hired to decorate resulted in quick divorces. With town gossips labeling her cursed, she's stuck primarily making funeral wreaths. It doesn't help her unlucky in love reputation when her ex-fiancé comes to town scouting wedding venues. To save face in front of the happy couple, she impulsively claims town newcomer Elliot as her boyfriend. Given that he's been attracted to Daisy since noticing her at city council meetings, Elliot, an architect remodeling the local inn, is happy to fake a relationship to help her business and boost her reputation. With previous couples from the Dream Harbor series popping up to offer Daisy advice on her supposed new relationship, it isn't long before real sparks ignite between her and Elliot. The plot offers few surprises but plenty of comfort, especially for returning readers. Dream Harbor remains a cozy spot to linger.
Customer Reviews
4.5 Stars
I completely love this series. To be honest, I was not sure how the premise would play out with this one. Dream Harbor is definitely quirky and the residents are a bit insane, which I love, but even the idea of a cursed flower shop did give me pause. Wow…it delivered. The curse element as a plot was entertaining without being ridiculous. Daisy’s character growth was compelling and her reactions to some situations felt real and understandable. Elliot…wowzers…talk about delicious. He is sweet, supportive, and absolutely perfect. He is such a safe person for Daisy and is so insanely patient with her. Even as he is trying to repair his own broken heart. Not as spicy as previous books, so definitely a slow burn…but I really loved this one!
liked it but..
I liked this book! I think she focused too much on little things in the story! I would have liked to see them be together earlier in the story, and not just seem like their relationship ended towards just sexual but actually feel more loving and romantic!! overall good story💖
Loved the epilogue!
Loved this book but loved the epilogue even more. Hoping we can have a whole series 20 years into the future 🤍
