I absolutely loved this book. It had so many good music references throughout the book. I also love pet names and that the whole premise of this book revolves around “coffee girl”, the nickname given to the main female character. It did a really good job of creating a relationship you could root for! I’m really excited to read the sequel, The Makeup Artist.

Kiki gets fired from her job as a men’s stylist. She has two options, either work as a nanny for her sister or go on tour with a major country singer, to be an assistant to his stylist. Kiki decides she is going to go on tour! While getting coffee on her first day, she runs (literally) into a handsome man, and spills her coffee all over him. He turns out to be, none other than, Tatum, the major country singer. There is an undeniable attraction between the two. But, can they have a relationship when there is fame on the line?

Oh my goodness, I wish I read this book sooner. I absolutely loved it! This book had it all, a slow burn romance, steam, and some amazing characters. Oh and not to mention, country music! I hadn’t read a book based around a country singer prior to this, but I absolutely loved it! I loved the banter between Kiki and Tatum, the hilarious dialogue, the music, and their real relationship problems. If you’re looking for a good rockstar romance, I would highly recommend this one!

Thank you Netgalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I may have read too many romance books over the last few months. If I had read this 2 months ago I may have loved it. But instead, I read it after reading 10 other romances in 60 days and I think I am all romanced out. I am over needy female leads that aren't confident in themselves. I am over cocky male leads that like the girl but things keep getting in the way so it seems like they don't. Because of this, I stopped reading this book half way through. The themes were too similar to other romances that I've read recently and it didn't keep me guessing.

This was a sweet, cute book. I read it in 2 days. I would recommend this to anyone who likes light-hearted romance.

This was an absolute #bookstagrammademereadit book! And I’m so happy that I did!!

This hit all the cute, romance, sweet buttons with just the right amount of steam!

Kiki just lost her job as a stylist when she lands a job as assistant to the assistant of the hottest country star in the busy. She despises country music, but is awesome at her job- if she can convince her boss to do anything other than coffee runs.

When she lays eyes on super hunky Tatum James, she isn’t sure if she can wipe the drool fast enough. He immediately nicknames her Coffee Girl once she spills coffee and is speechless over his charms.

Is it possible for a super star and a Coffee Girl to become more than just friends??

Thank you NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and Sophie Sinclair for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I’m going to be completely honest here... I was NOT a fan of this book. The writing was so cringey and cheesy and the entire plot is predictable. I expected nothing less but ugh.

I couldn't put this one down. Kiki has two choices, be her sister's nanny (which comes with a 60 page employee manual) or join her friend on the road with up and coming country superstar. Fortunately, she did not go to work for her sister. Life in the fish bowl is realistically portrayed, and the struggle to let go of nasty social media posts is real. Throw in his crazy, self absorbed ex and a pushy manager and you have everything you need to keep you entertained. I already downloaded the second book in the series. Well written.

Coffee Girl is a Celebrity romance. with a hot, perfect looking hero whose only fault is that he is tired of casual and is looking for a meaningful relationship. A casual, flirty romance between a girl next door and a celebrity.

This was such a sweet story about a fashion stylist who goes on tour with an up and coming country singer! I loved their witty banter and how their relationship builds through ups and downs. Can’t wait to read book 2 in the series! Thanks @netgalley #CoffeeGirl #NetGalley

I hate to admit it, but I was hesitant to read this book. Not that I have anything against the writer; I've never read any of her books before and like to check out many different authors. Mainly, I hesitated because I'm not really a country music fan, and didn't think I could relate to a story built around a country music superstar singer.

Wow, was I wrong! The writer, Sophie Sinclair, has changed my mind about country music (and taught me I need to be a little more open-minded in the future!) <smile>

This is a story about Mackenzie--nicknamed KiKi and Tatum. Kiki was a stylist in Los Angeles but was downsized. She lands a temporary job as an assistant stylist for the country music superstar singer Tatum and his band while they go on tour. She immediately feels an attraction for Tatum. He shows an interest in her, too, but despite this, Kiki won't let herself believe that there could be anything between them, especially since Tatum has a long time girlfriend named Savannah who is also a country music singer. Yet things aren't always as the media make them seem, especially when it comes to celebrity relationships, as Kiki learns.

I also loved one of the secondary characters -- Kiki's best friend TJ. He's such a hoot!

I loved Sinclair's writing style in this book. She used humor, circumstances and timing to keep me turning the page and wanting more. I especially loved the dialogue between Kiki and Tatum. Their bantering kept me laughing throughout the book. Sinclair fully developed the relationship between Kiki and Tatum, and I finished the book feeling like the story came to its natural conclusion. (Lately, I've been reading a lot of books where the author has rushed the ending, and I finish thinking "Wait? Is that all there is? Shouldn't there be something more?")

I enjoyed this book so much that I'm now diving into the second book in the series, "The Makeup Artist." Can't wait to read about the adventures of one of Tatum's bandmates -- Lex -- and Kiki's friend Sarah.

Go check it out--a great book! And like me, you might find that you are now creating a playlist of country music!

This rockstar romance was all I hoped it would be.

Kiki and Tatum have an instant connection but try to deny it, but sometimes the spark is too much to refuse.

Kiki is such a likable character and Tatum is sexy, sweet, and swoony! What more could you ask for with characters and a story? I know....laugh out loud moments, a snarky best friend, sassy and funny bandmates!

Coffee Girl was a quick, easy fun read!

Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest opinion. Rockstar romances are outside of my usual genre but this one really appealed to me. I craved a light, romantic book with a touch of humour and my goodness did this book nail it. This is a really engrossing and humorous romance centring around Kiki Forbes and Tatum Reed, but with some fantastic side characters. It is well written and not what I was expecting at all and took me completely by surprise. I became completely enveloped and lost in this wonderful love story. There is a great balance of romance, drama and comedy which makes the whole story so engaging.

Tatum is a self-conscious ordinary down to earth girl. She is witty and beautiful and is completely unaware of her looks. Tatum on the other hand is cocky, confident and flirtatious. This opposing personality dynamic as well as ordinary girl/celebrity works so well and I loved it. Their interactions with one another are brilliantly executed and I loved the fun and flirtatious banter. The text messaging is absolutely adorable as is the slow build up to their romance. It leads us from the initial meet where Kiki is soaked with coffee, and completely unaware of who she has just met, to the beautiful and heart-warming final scene. There are some wonderful moments in between, I loved the evening they spent together on her bed chatting, listening to music and getting to know one another and the ‘leather trouser’ scene later in the book had me in hysterics. Their nick names for each other, Coffee Girl and Tater Tots, squeezed my heart. The chemistry between these two literally sizzled off the page and there is absolutely no denying their attraction.

The side characters, such as Sarah, Lex and TJ, were also well portrayed and so likeable. I adored Tatum’s gay friend TJ, and some of the conversations and text messaging between them are hilarious.

A light-hearted and compelling read which I could not put down. This is the perfect wind-down summer read (be prepared though, there are one or two steamy scenes!) I really enjoyed this author’s writing style, the fast pace and the witty dialogue and I’ve immediately picked up The Makeup Artist which follows Kiki’s best friend Sarah and Lex, another member of the band.

☕☕☕ #CoffeeGirl by @sophiesinclairauthor is everything you want a contemporary romance to be: a fun, sexy romp that transports you into the world of the romantic leads. The chemistry between Kiki and Tatum was particularly well-written, and I found myself literally smiling at my Kindle reading their charming back-and-forth. (I looked very cool and not insane at all, I’m sure.) I also thought the backdrop of life on tour was interesting and added additional dimension to this engaging love story.

SYNOPSIS: Single, broke and unemployed, Kiki moves cross-country to take a job as a stylist’s assistant to a major country music star—who also happens to be the hottest man she’s ever seen! The two have immediate chemistry, but will miscommunication and the drawbacks of celebrity come between them?

RECOMMEND (Y/N)? Yes! If romances are your jam, this is a fun, first-of-a-series by an indie author. Recommended for fans of Christina Lauren. Even better, Coffee Girl and its follow-up, The Makeup Artist, are both available through #KindleUnlimited!

Kiki is at an uncertain time in life. She’s just lost her job as a stylist at a men’s magazine. Her job options are not good but her brother has a connection to country tour. Tatum is an up and country music star with a crazy ex-girlfriend. Kiki and Tatum bump into each other and their attraction grows from there.

I connected with both of these characters and loved their story. For me, this book is well written. Looking back at this read, I didn’t have any moments that took me out of the story. There were characters I liked and those I didn't. There are several characters that I would like to know more.

Coffee Girl is everything I could've hoped for. I am new to Sophie Sinclair, but fell in love with her writing immediately. Her style reminds me a lot of R.S. Grey, who I just adore.

Kiki loses her job as a stylist at a magazine, and is forced to move across the country for a new job as a styling assistant to Tatum, a famous country singer. From the first time they see each other Kiki and Tatum have a crazy connection that everyone can feel. Tatum is just getting out of a toxic and very public relationship, but he can't stay away from Kiki. Neither one has ever felt love this strong, but z relationship in the public eye is anything but easy.

Okay, I need to take a deep breath before I get started here... this book is so, so, so amazing. I just finished it last night, and I want to start over again. I loved everything about the story between Kiki and Tate. The chemistry between the two MC's is so intense and sweet plus we get some steamy scenes.

Tate is cocky, but still soft hearted enough to make me love him. He's a country boy, which I am definitely in to. Kiki is a little insecure, but I am sure I would be if I was dating a country music star. There is some angst, but just the right amount to keep me interested without causing me to want to throw my phone against the wall. I loved all the music references, and the lyrics Tate wrote for Kiki.

The real questions is, why is my husband not writing me a song?!

I will say, I was a little disappointed in Lee and that whole situation, and I wished Tate would have done more to prevent the big misunderstanding. There is two (maybe three sorta) villains in this book, and I do think we could've made without some of the cat fights between Maddie and Kiki. I want women to support each other and not fight over the attention of some guy. Come on! I loved Sarah and Kiki's friendship, and am excited for the next book. I actually already downloaded The Makeup Artist and can't wait to read Lex and her story next.

I received a free copy from the author/ publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Coffee girl was an enjoyable read that I looked forward to “picking up” each day. Yes, it is a very common theme found in romance novels but it did not contain those super cringe worthy moments like some titles I’ve come across.

This is a whirlwind romance between a young boss and a newer employee. They cross paths in a funny (omg) scenario and have so much chemistry that you’re waiting on the moment they end up together. Of course there are some obstacles along the way they are eventually able to overcome.

I would definitely read this again and am looking forward to the second book in the series about Sarah and Lex in the Makeup Artist.

This was just the lighthearted, swoony, sweet romance I needed after reading a really emotionally heavy story. I don't often read rockstar romances, and I don't follow country music, so I was nervous that out of my own lack of background in this story world I might fail to connect, but wow was I wrong, and that to me is a true sign of good storytelling: the power to draw a reader into a book, to build a world that's inviting and relatable, even if the reader has very little baseline knowledge in the story's subject.

This was such a fantastic example of a rockstar romance done well. The pacing flowed, the story sucked me right in, the chemistry was sparkling but not overwrought, the writing descriptive enough without getting longwinded or redundant, and I felt the representation of the challenges of love between the famous star and the "ordinary" girl was realistic for its depiction of insecurity, public scrutiny, and the duplicity that often plagues stardom.

Kiki and Sarah's solid woman supporting woman friendship was also a star of this story. They have each other's backs, they bring out the best in each other, and they don't break each other's trust. Yay!

Hats off to Sophie for sucking me into the Coffee Girl World. It's made me really excited for Sarah's story in The Makeup Artist!

The relationship in this book seemed a little rushed to me. It seemed to be based mainly on physical attraction which makes the connection fill a bit shallow. I also think Kiki was a little too awkward and bashful which made her feel inauthentic as a character.
