This is a sweet lighthearted novel.
The story predominately follows Kiki Forbes, a young woman who becomes the assistant to an assistant after losing her job in a merger. Her new boss's boss is hunky country music star Tatum Reed, who's at the pinnacle of his career but being dragged down by his ex-girlfriend. Attraction, awkward moment, misunderstanding and lots of flirting ensure.
For lovers of a sweet romance and country music I'd say this book is a must.

What a wonderful find! I was just breezing through selections on NetGalley this morning and after finishing Coffee Girl, I am completely blown away. It's so hard to believe that this is Sophie Sinclair's debut novel because the writing is that good. Her characterization is fantastic, the storyline is addictive, and there is a perfect blend of romance, humor, and conflict. Her "bad guys" are frustratingly bad, but her "good guys" will tug at your heartstrings very early on.

Tatum and Kiki's story is definitely a slow-burn type romance with a ton of obstacles, but I promise you will feel the emotions leaping off the pages as you read. I honestly cannot think of any criticism of this novel except maybe that it is very long. However, I'm not sure how it could have been compressed because everything was relevant to the story. This is absolutely a 5-star read for me and I'm very eager to get started on the next in the series!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a review copy in exchange for my honest opinion!

Coffee Girl is one of my new favorite romantic comedies. I loved that this incorporated the world of fashion while still keeping it humble and rugged by having the main character be a country music star. The setting, characters, and plot were well developed. Overall, SInclair is now an auto-buy author for me. I start The Make Up Artist immediately because I couldn't wait to read the sequel.

Coffee Girl by Sophie Sinclair a five-star read you need to throw yourself at. What a read, I have avoided Rockstar romance of late as it just felt a little overdone, but I picked this up just as I love coffee and the title sounded cool, I am so glad I did, honestly I cant wait to get my teeth into number two and to start stalking this new to me author. This just made me smile so hard, and it was exactly what I needed at the time I picked it up, It dropped to my kindle at lunch time and I snuck a few pages in while I finished work, then started it the moment I finished, one positive of lockdown no commute so more reading time, I finished this that night and I was sad that it was over. I felt bereft that I wouldn’t see Tatum and Kiki his coffee girl, or any of the band members and the team again, as at that point I didn’t realise there was going to be a second story, I was just a hopeful reader. Its rare that I fall this deeply for an author new to me, I usually enjoy a first novel and then get deeper with the more I read, but I don’t know Sophie Sinclair just wowed me with her words and the depth she created in the characters even the most shallow of Rockstar’s, I cant wait to hear more about.

I loved this book, a love story full of twists and turns based around the music industry, all totally believable. I read it in one day.
I cannot wait to read the follow up, The Make Up Artist.

What an easy read to fill my country-bumpkin heart with a laugh and some romance. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted, predictable romcom-type-of-book, this is the one for you.

I have to say that timing is everything for reading a book, so when picked this one up some time ago, it was just what I needed and I appreciate the time I spent engaging in such a story.

Thank you Sophie Sinclair, BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review. Always so grateful for the opportunity to read complimentary books!

Enjoyable romance, between a country star and an ordinary woman working as an assistant to his stylist.

I enjoy it when authors write their books from both viewpints and that happens here, with most chapters from Kiki's viewpoint but some from Tatum's as well. I like how it lets you get into both their heads and see the developing relationship from both viewpoints. I enjoyed the epilogue - and the post epilogue - as well, giving a glimpse into the future and how things worked out for the different characters in the story.

There's a well drawn set of characters in this book and i liked how the story played out. None of it's particularly original, I've seen characters like the ex and the love 'rival' before, and the 'banter' with TJ - in fact TJ all together -was particularly cliched. I saw the twist with their break up coming, too. But it's nicely written, and I'll be looking for the next in the series

This book had me cringing and laughing at the same time. It was sweet, funny and sexy and I want my own Tatum Reed. He and Kiki were hilarious and had a great friendship to go along with all that hot chemistry. Can't wait to read the next one in the series.

I enjoyed this book. It was a good way to spend the evening.

I liked Kiki and Tatum. While I did find it a bit insta-lovey, it didn’t bother me too much because overall I liked the way the plot played out. I thought the pacing was good and I want to read Sarah and Lex’s story. I will be picking it up on KU in the near future.

One of the reasons I’m giving this book 3 stars instead of 4 was the beginning. It took me a bit to get into the story. However, I would say about a third to halfway through I was hooked on the story. One other reason I’m giving it three stars is that I felt like there were certain times that offhand comments would be made that would characterize Christians in poor taste. I just didn’t think it was necessary and didn’t add anything to the story. It seemed like a jab that simply wasn’t necessary.

Really enjoyed this book.

The banter between the two main characters is great and often hilarious. The characters are likeable but not predictable.

Not quite as hot and steamy as I thought it was going to be but a great easy Summer/holiday read.

Mackenzie Leigh Forbes or Kiki is a stylist at a fashion magazine called Cufflinks. She is fired from her job after their company is acquired by another one. She has two options in hand either to become a nanny to her arrogant and snobby sister or to work as an assistant to the stylist of a country-rock star Tatum Reed and she chooses the latter. The sparks ignite as the two of them get close while working together.

First of all this book was really good. I loved Kiki’s friendship with Sarah and TJ, Her sarcastic interaction with her elder sister, and how supporting her elder brother is to her. Tatum’s bond with his best friend Lex Ryan the lead guitarist in his band. Kiki and Tatum were awesome.

In all this is a very enjoyable book. I recommend this book to all the fans of contemporary romance. There are great characters, lovely story, vamps, and drama. I liked the writing style. Thank you @netgalley for the digital copy.

Coffee Girl | Sophie Sinclair

RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

REVIEW: WOW! I honestly did not expect to love LOVE this book as much as I did!!! I literally stayed up until 4am because i COULD NOT STOP READING!!! Tate and Kiki were insanely fun to read, I was invested in all the characters, and there was major laugh out loud moments as well as sweet and super sexy! Read this when you want a bingeworthy, sweet, steamy romance that gives you all the feels! Gotta go read book 2 now!

Thank you @brittvan1 for this amazing rec! 💗

As a professional editor, I can always tell when books haven't been professionally edited. Hopefully the errors that were in my ARC did not make it to the final version. There were grammar errors ("Sarah and I" instead of "Sarah and me"), fact-checking errors (Joe "Diffy" instead of Diffie), continuity errors (sometimes the opening band was the Wake Brothers, sometimes it was the Winston Brothers), and general things that make you go hmmm (they opened in Boston, then played New Jersey, then went back to New Hampshire? Somewhere near "Lake Winnipesauke" [sic] even though that's a couple hours away from any large concert venue).

The relationship between the main characters develops quickly. The reader could wish for a little more time getting to know the two characters and why they fall in love. My biggest complaint, though, is that there are three different evil female characters--Kiki's sister, Tatum's ex, and Maddie, the "trainwreck" singer on the tour. They all try to ruin Kiki's life in various ways, as well as being self-destructive, and we never get any explanation why they're all so insecure and spiteful. On the other hand, the morally questionable men in the book seem to get a free pass. Sarah, who's probably the most likeable character of all, pines away after man-slut Lex, and it looks like they're the subject of the next book? Sigh.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.

This book was great, everything I look for in a RomCom.

The female lead was not a wimpy Cinderella, thank god, and a bit of a mess to be honest. This is a positive though as it made her more relatable.

Before opening the book I presumed the male lead was going to be an arsehole, but surprisingly this is an actual decent guy, not someone who is only nice to the girl and an arse to everyone else, but someone who is nice.

The story flows with ease, and although the climax felt a little rushed this is definitely something I'll re-read.

Coffee Girl by Sophie Sinclair (2020/05/18)
Rating 3/5 Stars
Disclaimer: Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy to review.

This was a super cute country popstar romance. This story follows Kiki (Mackenzie) who is in need of a job. Her sister tries to help her by telling her she can be a nanny for her but that is the last thing Kiki wants to do. With the help of her brother she lands a job working for the fashion designer of a country music singer named Tatum Reed. This story follows Kiki’s love story as she balances working as an assistant while also falling in love with a country star. When Tatum’s ex-girlfriend starts to cause trouble in his life, he has to decide what he wants. Does he want to continue his new relationship with Kiki or does he protect himself and his band.

I like this story; it was cute to watch Tatum and Kiki fall in love. I wished we had got more scenes with the main characters' families. It feels like they were mentioned a lot but were never really around. Kiki as a heroine was hard to relate to at times. I couldn't sympathize with her when she would react to the events that were happening. She was twenty-six years old but the way she handled situations made her sound childish and immature.

I did not care for the drama that went on with the hero’s ex-girlfriend, although I do understand that it was necessary. I did appreciate the Heroine's friendship with Sarah (the makeup artist). I probably will continue on with this series because I'm really looking forward to reading the second book. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who wants to read a cute country popstar romance.

Kiki is currently unemployed and needs to make a decision, become her sister’s nanny or move halfway across country to work as an stylist of a country music star. Life on the road leaves much to be desired until she meets her sexy new boss. Tatum’s career is flying high, but he feels like his life is about to implode, his ex-girlfriend is determined to make his life difficult, his opening act is a handful and the new girl is quickly getting under his skin.

This sweet and funny story was amazing, it was sexy, easy to read and made me laugh out loud. It’s a perfect read for these days and there’s already a second book in this series that I can’t wait to start.
