As her thirtieth birthday looms closer, Hazel can’t help but feel like she missed out on getting a little crazy while she kept her nose stuck in a book. 

When she starts finding secret messages in books throughout her store, Hazel takes it as a sign to have a little adventure—better late than never! 

Who better to help her than Noah, Dream Harbor’s fun loving fisherman who is always down for an adventure, and the pair set off on a scavenger hunt that sends them all around town.  

Sparks fly the more time Hazel and Noah spend together, and soon the tension and chemistry between them is too hard to deny. 

I loved The Cinnamon Bun Book Store so much! Hazel and Noah were adorable and their story was just so swoony and sweet! Plus I absolutely loved the concept of the scavenger hunt Hazel was sent on and the mystery behind it too. So fun!
