the pumpkin spice cafe by laurie gilmore

So this feels like a cozy mystery that's cute and tame and then BAM here comes the spice! It was so shocking that I wondered if the writer brought in a different writer to write all of the steamy love scenes. It just didn't flow. And I love some spice- so that's not a dig on a spicy cozy mystery, I think we need more of these!

Overall I wasn't super invested in the love story but I wanted to be. It was fine but not wonderful.

If you're wanted some fall vibes and a cozy mystery, you won't regret picking this up but it won't blow your mind.

3 stars

3-4 steam level
