“Bonfire & Bliss Bookstore has everything an autumn romcom lover could ever wish for. I absolutely loved the plus-size representation, the fall vibes, the small-town setting, and all the spice! OMG! I gobbled this book up like I was competing in a pumpkin pie eating contest! Fall Queen approved!” —Lyra Parish, USA Today bestselling author of Fall I Want

“Laugh out loud funny, heartfelt, and seriously spicy. I devoured this book.” —Valerie Bowman, author of The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn

“The fall theme gives the book an overall cozy feeling, making it easy to imagine the small-town setting and transport readers. Nicole's second Hope Harbor novel, after Darling Daffodils Farm, is a delightfully fun read full of lots of laughs and relatable situations.” —Library Journal

"If you're reading this list because you're a fan of The Pumpkin Spice Café, you will absolutely love Brittanee Nicole's new book, Bonfire and Bliss Bookstore. It is full of everything fall, to the point that you'll want to get an apple cider as you read it, and has the coziest story of fake dating possible...It is autumn romance at its finest, and personally speaking, it might just be even better than Pumpkin Spice Café." —Screen Rant

"This is a good follow-up to Darling Daffodils Farm, with a lot of the same characters, an adoring baby cow named Daisy, and love, romance, and hot sex. It’s a joy to watch [Penny and Monty] fall for each other." —Red Carpet Crash

“I devoured Darling Daffodils Farm earlier this year and fell in love with this author’s writing…Bonfire and Bliss Bookstore was the perfect cute and cozy fall read. Grab a blanket, a pumpkin spice latte, and cuddle up on the couch to read this book. This had friends to lovers, second chances, fake dating, and small-town romance. Beware this book was spicy (Level 4 out of 5). I can’t wait for the series to continue with either Rosie’s or Billie’s story.” —The Gloss Book Club

“Friends to lovers, fake dating, a cozy bookstore, apple orchard kisses, and plenty of steam make this an easy addition to my fall TBR.” —She Reads Romance Books

“Settle in with a warm glass of cider and FALL in love beside the bonfire on a crisp autumn evening in this friends-to-lovers fake dating romance about a jilted romance bookstore owner and her handsome failed-writer best friend, from the romance superstar author of The Boston Bolts hockey series.” —Bookish Goblin

"I generally don't do a lot of seasonal reading, but who am I to say no to a book called Bonfire & Bliss Bookstore and with a cover that looks like this? It's the sleeve of tattoos for me...It's a cozy small-town romance featuring crunchy leaves and apple orchards. How could I not include it in my stack?" —The Underlined
