The Strawberry Patch Pancake House Coloring Book Dream Harbor

Laurie Gilmore’s "The Strawberry Patch Pancake House" has once again completely drawn me into the small, charming town of Dream Harbor. Iris and Archer are wonderful protagonists whose chemistry is palpable from the very first page. The tragic circumstances under which Archer first learns of his daughter, Olive—after her mother’s death—were particularly poignant. It was moving to witness the slow development of a loving father-daughter bond between him and Olive—a relationship that simply warms the heart. Olive herself is so spirited and endearing that she immediately wins your affection. At the same time, I found it particularly easy to relate to Iris’s internal struggles. She grapples with anxiety, self-doubt, and the expectations of others and herself; yet, over the course of the story, she evolves into a strong, courageous woman who stands up for herself. Once again, Gilmore has crafted a feel-good novel that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant. Themes of friendship, love, loss, and new beginnings are sensitively interwoven without ever feeling saccharine. "The Strawberry Patch Pancake House" is a warmhearted, profound novel that lingers long after the final page—perfect for anyone who loves stories about heart, family, and hope.

Iris fühlt sich verloren. Zwischen Teilzeitjobs, Wohnungssuche und den Erwartungen aller anderen nimmt sie überglücklich einen Job als In-House-Nanny an. Aber Archer braucht als frisch-gebackener Vater mehr Hilfe als gedacht und plötzlich ist Iris Teil einer kleinen Familie, von der sie nicht wusste, wie sehr sie diese braucht.

Perfekt für die ersten trüben Tage, um sich mit Erdbeeren und Schlagsahne nochmal in den Sommer zurück zu träumen. Band vier der Dream Harbour Reihe. Wieder zum dahinschmelzen schön.

Apparently Archer, world-renowned chef from Paris, isn't the biggest fan of it. But when he is moving to Dream Harbor to be there for his daughter he didn't about til now, he has soon to learn that those people are a bit crazy about their pancakes. But how can he learn to make them the right way when no one can tell him the original recipe? And then there is the problem with his nanny...because he can't stop building up those feelings. And Iris herself, who never could hold down a job for long, is feeling the tension too...and she is also falling in love with the girl. But they can't just follow their feelings when all they want is stability for Olive. Thrilling and with a great suspense of feelings - I loved it to be in Dream Harbor again!

Das vierte Buch aus der Dream Harbor-Reihe hat es mir von Anfang an angetan. Iris und Archer sind eigentlich schon erwachsen aber wirken trotzdem noch nicht so richtig angekommen. Sie versuchen mit der 5-jährigen Olive zurecht zu kommen, weil sie merken wie sie für das Mädchen da sein müssen, die plötzlich ihre Mutter verloren hat... Die Szenen mit Vater und Kind haben sich ehrlich angefühlt und Iris passt mit ihrer herzlichen Art einfach zu den beiden. Einziger Nachteil: Weil Archer immer von gutem Essen spricht, bekommt man wirklich Hunger beim lesen.
