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.
