The second instalment takes readers back to the beloved town of Dream Harbour and follows bookseller Hazel and fisherman Noah in this treasure seeking adventure – but what these two don’t know is the treasure they're seeking doesn’t always come in a glittering gold treasure chest. Hazel is soon to turn 30 and she is stuck, but when a mystery book defacer sprinkles a trail of breadcrumbs she enlists the help of Noah to discover the clues.

This is an unputdownable book that I devoured within days. The pacing and plot is perfect with the right amount of spice. This book has all the elements that the author got so right in the first book and continued to develop this town of interesting personalities. Laurie Gilmore creates enough mystery to hook readers and then swoops them off their feet with a cute romance between Hazel and Noah. Dream Harbour is not short of a vibrant and hilarious cast of characters to help breathe life into the already charming town. And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’d love to be a fly on the wall in those book club meetings! My only criticism is that Noah didn’t seem to interact with many characters aside from Hazel, Jeanie and Logan by himself, so I would have liked to see more of his personality and quirks with his friends. But I can overlook this because I just enjoyed reading the book. I liked the inclusion of Jeanie and Logan from the first book and how they interact with Noah and Hazel.

Overall this is a charming, cute and easy to read romance.
