"Annie was an on-kilter kind of girl."
Book number five in the Dream Harbor series, and finally we get to read about Annie and Mac's story. I need to say this though… am I the only one who, for some reason, thought that Annie and Mac were a senior couple?? Nope? Just me then! 🙈
Is it just characters in books who don't communicate and end up wasting months—sometimes years—of their lives? The Gingerbread Bakery was written from Annie and Mac's points of view, from both "then" and "now." I must admit I got a little lost sometimes as to what year we were in, but I soon caught up.
It was such a cute read, and I loved every minute—especially when we caught up with all the other characters from the previous books. Personally, I'd have liked to spend some more time in the actual Gingerbread Bakery and less time on the relationship, but that's just because I love cakes! The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore is still my favourite book, and Noah and Hazel are still my favourite couple. Perfect for anyone who loves small-town romances with plenty of sweetness. Now let's see what's in store for Daisy in the next book.
Thank you to Libro FM and HarperCollins for the opportunity to listen to and review The Gingerbread Bakery by Laurie Gilmore.
About the book
As owner of her beloved Gingerbread Bakery, Annie Andrews should have a love life to match her business; sugary and sweet. But instead, she’s locked in a game of words with the irritatingly upbeat bar owner down the street.
Mac Sullivan has everything he wants, except the girl he dreams of. It’s easier to argue with Annie than get her to talk to him but with Jeanie and Logan’s wedding coming up, they're about to spend a lot more time together.
As the snowflakes fall and with romance in the air, will Annie see that the one she loves to hate might just be her perfect match after all?
About Laurie/Melissa - by Laurie
As Melissa McTernan, I write sweet and steamy fantasy/paranormal romance. I love grumpy heroes, sarcastic heroines, and grown-up fairy tales. I am currently working on The Wolf Brother’s series for One More Chapter (a HarperCollins UK imprint). The trilogy follows three werewolf brothers and their (maybe if they don’t screw it up) Mates.
As Laurie Gilmore (my pen name), I write steamy small-town romance. My Dream Harbor series is filled with quirky townsfolk, cozy settings, and swoon-worthy romance. I love finding books with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice and strive for that in my own writing. If you ever wished you lived in Stars Hollow (or that Luke and Lorelai would just get together already!) then these books are definitely for you.
When I’m not writing, I’m most likely reading or wrangling my kids as a stay-at-home mom. I live in upstate New York with my husband, kids, cats, puppy, and full bookshelves. I write romance to keep my sanity.
