The Strawberry Patch Pancake House

Does what it says on the tin. My main complaint is that I still feel that Gilmore doesn’t trust the reader to remember certain information. This manifests itself in telling rather than showing, such as with Archer missing his job as a chef in France. It was an enjoyable read overall, but I had to suspend more of my beliefs bordering on too many times.

Just like all the others in the series.. simple and sweet ☺️

Final rating: 3 stars ✨

This book wasn't great for me. Something just felt, disconnected.

Single Dad/Nanny romance with a surprise pregnancy. It felt slow and long, and I didn't feel like there was great chemistry or a solid foundation for the main characters.

Olive was fun that. Fierce little thing that she was.

I will never recover from the epilogue and the finale

It’s a cute story but not as good as the others. There was less of a connection between the two main leads.

The author still does an excellent job of setting up the community and light cozy feel that her other books have had. You get a nice update on previous couples and a good nudge about the next couple. This has been a great lighthearted series which makes this entry a letdown. I liked the side characters more then the main ones as they had more life to them.

The personalities and romance of the two main characters is weak. They feel rushed together, and by the end I thought they need more time to work on themselves. Its not a terrible relationship but there is not enough romance it’s more lust.

It’s not a bad story and there is a lot to like. Hopefully, the next book is better.
