Ready to fall head over fuzzy-socked heels for your next cozy romance read? Valentina Iania’s Pumpkin Spice is here to warm your heart like your favorite latte on a crisp autumn morning. This feel-good small-town romance has everything you want in a fall romantic comedy. It features charming banter, swoony spice lessons, and enough cozy vibes to make your flannel jealous.

Ivy is living her best pumpkin spice life. She runs a dreamy small-town coffee shop. She also stays curled up in fictional happily-ever-afters. But real-life romance? Not so much. Her dream of entering Elm Hollow’s iconic fall bucket list competition is missing one key ingredient: a boyfriend. Enter city boy with a jawline carved by the gods. He offers to play her fake date. Maybe he will teach her a thing or two about spice, on and off the page.

Fake dating? One bed? Spice lessons? I’m in. I saw “Gilmore Girls vibes.” There was also a “fall bucket list competition.” I knew I was going to eat this up like caramel apples at a county fair. This book offers a full-on autumn aesthetic. It weaves swoony tension. The charming small-town atmosphere will make you want to pack your bags and move to Elm Hollow.
