The strawberry patch pancake house
"What an amazing book. The storyline is addictive and the characters are breathtaking. Archer is a single dad who just found out he has daughter. You can tell the love he had and how proud to be a father he is. Then iris the spicy firecracker. She means well and loves whole heartedly. “A small-town spicy romance” is just what everybody needs in their lives."

Very cutesy and an easy read of a love story
"the strawberry pancake house is a cute, easy to read romance. Has the grumpyxsunshine trope and two main characters that you can’t help but fall for their charm. I, personally, am a victim to loving the single dad trope in books, I love his slowly building relationship with his daughter, lots of wholesome moments in this book. Will definitely be reading the rest of the books in this universe, a perfect book series to read this fall."
— Jasmine (4/5)
Page tuner!!
"When I bought this book, I didn’t expect to zip through it as fast as I did. Such a great page turner and right on point with the same vibe as the pumpkin spice cafe! If you haven’t read this book, I strongly suggest! I read them out of order so I spoiled a thing or two but I’m still going to finish the series!"
