About the series
Laurie Gilmore is the pen name for an author of cozy contemporary romance, best known for her Dream Harbor series — a collection of small-town standalones set in the idyllic fictional New England town of Dream Harbor. The books are warm, low-angst, and full of charm: think pumpkin spice, autumn festivals, quirky townsfolk, and swoony love interests, all wrapped in a deeply comforting atmosphere that has made the series a BookTok and Bookstagram favorite.
Recommended reading order
All Dream Harbor books are standalones centering on different couples in the same town, so you can begin anywhere. Publication order is the most popular approach: The Pumpkin Spice Café (2023), The Cinnamon Bun Book Store (2023), The Christmas Tree Farm (2023), The Jam and Jealousy Bakery (2024), The Strawberry Patch Pancake House (2024), and The Harvest Moon Inn (2024). Recurring townsfolk and background romances reward readers who go in order, but it is not required.
