The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore is a definite improvement over the first novel in the series, yet still falls short of its potential in my eyes. I liked the couple in this book miles better than the OG pair. Probably because funny, smitten sailor suits my fancy much better than grumpy farmer. I found the motivations more compelling in this book, and the plot as a whole more believable. Overall the characters were still a bit too cliché, the small-town charm was a tad too poured on, and the dialogue was a hair on the Hallmark side. An improvement over the first book for sure, a nice, shallow read that's good for a slump, but nothing spectacular just yet. Here's hoping Book 3 really wows me!
