Description
‘A charming break from reality’ Publishers Weekly
Every book in the Dream Harbor series can be read as a standalone.
As a world-renowned chef, single dad Archer never planned on moving to a small town, let alone running a pancake restaurant. But Dream Harbor needs a new chef, and Archer needs a community to help raise his daughter, Olive.
Iris has never managed to hold down a job for more than a few months. So when it’s suggested that Archer is looking for a live-in nanny, she almost runs in the opposite direction.
Now, Iris finds herself in a whole new world. One where her gorgeous new boss lives right across the hall and likes to cook topless… Keeping everything strictly professional should be easy, right?
The Strawberry Patch Pancake House is a cozy romantic mystery with a single dad and found family dynamic, a small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!

As a devoted lover of the single dad trope, I hereby crown Laurie Gilmore as the undisputed queen!
Iris is broke, and the perfect solution comes knocking— a nanny job for a renowned chef who just found out he has a daughter. One simple rule: no falling for the boss/nanny. Easier said than done, right?
The setup might sound familiar, but trust me, Laurie Gilmore will make you fall in love with Dream Harbor all over again. Iris is lovable, honest, and hopelessly optimistic. Archer? Determined, a little grumpy, but a fantastic dad from day one. And then there's Olive—what can I say? 70% of my laughs came from her, so she absolutely deserves an award alongside the author.
Maybe I’m biased, but this is hands down my favorite in the series so far!
P.S. As a serial pancake eater, I feel Archer’s pain—but hey, not everyone appreciates perfection!

**Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishers for this eARC*
Laurie Gilmore has done it again; another solid 5 star read! The Strawberry Patch Pancake House follows Archer, a world-renowned Chef most recently from France, and Iris, a Yoga Instructor/Aquatics leader/trying to figure it out kinda lady from Dream Harbor.
Archer is forced to leave his illustrious position in France when he finds out that he has a (surprise) daughter in Dream Harbor. She recently lost her mother and now needs her Father to take care of her. Since this is all new (and rather frightening) to Archer, he decides to hire a nanny, which happens to be Iris. As you can imagine, a lot of toe-curling, slow burn, extremely fun dialogue and interactions follow.. I won’t spoil the fun!
As you can imagine from any Dream Harbor novel, beloved characters and locations from other books in the series pop up throughout, which provides a fun cohesive feel to the whole series.
As with this entire series, this novel left me wanting more! I cannot wait for the next installment and will consume it with as much vigor as breathing air.
Love love love!
