Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About by Isabelle Popp and read by Ferdelle Capistrano 

Sadie Fox came home for one reason: to grow a record-breaking pumpkin and finally earn her dad’s respect. But thanks to a herd of rogue hogs, her plans are in ruins. Enter Josh Thatcher—her overly cheerful, unfairly attractive neighbor with a knack for experimental gourds.

He offers help, but Sadie’s not convinced it’s just about pumpkins. As attraction blooms and secrets simmer, she wonders: is this just a summer fling, or something rooted much deeper? 

Fall into You by Dylan Morrison and read by Jordy Evan Hope 

Will Robertson swore he’d never go back to Glenriver. But when his father dies, he’s dragged home—and right into a standoff with Casey Reeves, the infuriatingly attractive farm manager who’s made himself very comfortable in Will’s old house. His plan? Sell the apple farm and leave. Fast.

But when a washed-out bridge traps him on the property, things get…complicated. As tensions rise and buried secrets surface, Will finds himself rethinking everything—his past, his future, and the maddening guy he can’t seem to ignore. Maybe the life he ran from is exactly where he’s meant to be.

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store by Laurie Gilmore and read by Regina Reagan 

Hazel never expected to find a coded message tucked inside a book at the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore—but once she does, more clues begin to appear. Solving the mystery sounds impossible alone, so she turns to someone unexpectedly perfect: Noah, Dream Harbor’s charming, adventure-loving fisherman.

Noah’s been crushing on Hazel for ages, and a quirky scavenger hunt with her? He’s all in. As the clues pull them through cozy streets and secret corners of town, the growing heat between them becomes impossible to ignore. Hazel may have started out chasing a mystery, but she just might end up finding love, too. This is book 2 in the Dream Harbor series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone story. 

The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore and read by Regina Reagan 

When Jeanie inherits the Pumpkin Spice Café in quaint Dream Harbor, she sees it as the perfect escape from her boring office life. She’s ready for cinnamon lattes, small-town charm—and maybe a little romance.

Logan, a local farmer with a no-nonsense attitude, prefers to steer clear of town chatter, especially regarding the overly cheerful newcomer shaking up his quiet routine. But the more he tries to keep his distance, the harder it becomes to ignore her smile…or her coffee. Can Jeanie melt Logan’s frosty exterior, or is this grumpy farmer the one heart her pumpkin spice magic can’t warm?
