This book was a cute romantic comedy. The main character is Kiki and she's great, not afraid to be vulerable, and has a great sense of humor. Tatum is the cute sexy country star.
I picked this book because of cover and the description. I was hoping that it would be different in some way, but it wasn't. I twas a quick read, but still very predictable. I was disappointed in this book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was great! If you like yourself a country singer then this is certainly for you! It had the right amount of drama/tension and romance, with characters I would happily read more of. Defiantly would recommend.
Thankyou to Netgalley for allowing me to read a ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Coffee Girl is the first book in a contemporary romance series by Sophie Sinclair. Mackenzie “Kiki” Forbes finds herself in a pickle. Either become her snarky sister’s nanny, or move halfway across the country to work as assistant-to-the-stylist of a country music star. Neither job sounds ideal, although bedazzling cowboy boots may be a hell of a lot more interesting than ironing her brother-in-law’s underwear. But life on the road as the errand coffee girl for a sold-out tour leaves much to be desired. That is, until Kiki meets her sinfully sexy new boss’s boss. Tatum Reed’s career is flying high. He’s up for country music’s Entertainer of the Year and he’s headed out on a nationwide sold-out tour. So why does he feel like it’s all about to implode? His superstar ex-girlfriend seems determined to make his life difficult, his opening act is a handful, and the new girl on his tour, the feisty brunette, is quickly getting under his skin. In this crazy world of show business Tatum needs to learn who he can trust, but that doesn’t come easily, because the one person who holds all the cards may just throw them down and walk away.

Coffee Girl is a book that captured my attention pretty quickly. It started off great, Kiki and her reactions were both sweet and snarky in turn. Her situation, and reactions, were well done and relatable. I liked Tatum too. He is smart and funny, and despite talking a good game he was sweet and just as vulnerable as Kiki. I liked the set up, and how they handled it. The cast of secondary characters were very well done, and I was engaged in their well-being. I will admit that I shared some of the annoyance as the secondary characters with Kiki's self doubt. and that there were a few moments that I felt like the pacing stumbled. However, I think the characters and the crisis of the romance were very well planned- and I really liked how respect for each other and the bonds of friendship were important aspects of the story.

Coffee Girl is a solid romance that balances laughs, angst, and heat.

Coffee Girl is a deliciously steamy story set within the rhine stone studied world of country music, The characters are strong and instantly likeable. Coffee Girl is a book that sweeps you off your feet.

This is a fun and steamy read! The dialog is so much fun, I love the buildup between Kiki and Tatum. The next installment in the series is definitely something to look forward to!

This was a quick, cute, and light read. Just what I needed after all the heavy stuff I seemed to have picked up lately. I liked the main characters and the authors writing. Will definitely read the next one in the series.

Received as an ARC from netgalley for an honest opinion and review. Kiki has just lost her job, and has been down on her luck with her recent dates. After her older sister offers her a cringe worthy job as a nanny and almost personal slave for very little money she reaches out to her brother for help. Her brothet helps her get a job as an second assistant/coffee/errand girl for a country singer on tour. While the tour is starting out the sparks between her and the lead singer fly!

An enjoyable and entertaining read:
I don't usually go for celebrity music stories but thankfully this was more than just a groupie fan falling for the star. There were plenty of misunderstandings and challenges to overcome, not least of which was the fact that Tatum was Kiki's boss and hence off limits. You could really feel their connection and their journey came across as real and authentic.
I enjoyed the humor and banter. There was also tons of drama and I didn't care for all of the back stabbing, but sadly I guess it goes with the territory. What I did really enjoy was the epilogue and post epilogue and appreciated that the author took the time to wrap things up and set the stage for the remainder of the series. I already have the next book lined up and can't wait to see what happens next with this group of friends.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Yawn. This was a boring read for me, unfortunately.

I stopped reading this book at 35 %. I couldn't get into it. I just couldn't. The story itself wasn't so bad per se, but the writing bothered me a lot and I couldn't get past that.

I am saddened, but I tried really hard to like it. It looked so promised when I read the synopsis and I was excited to read it after seeing all those good reviews.

But, dang. The characters were annoying - every single one of them. They were boring and it felt like the author was trying too much to make them at least a little bit interesting, but it didn't work. The conversations in this book are screaming b-o-r-e-d-o-m.

I couldn't complete this book, sadly. I just couldn't bring myself to because it kept dragging on and the beginning felt dragging on for forever before the main characters actually met.

Overall, I wasn't feeling this book and just kept cringing, unfortunately.

Coffee Girl is an entertaining and satisfying story about the country music industry.
I love stories about musicians and life on the road, so this was a perfect read.

This story is about Tatum, country music's hottest star. He is a big flirt and he is also sexy, charming and an all around nice guy. Tatum has had to make many sacrifices for his fame and sometimes, he wonders if it is all worth it.

After losing her job as a stylist for a magazine, Kiki has no choice but to take a job as an assistant to Tatum’s stylist. It is a demotion, but Kiki has bills to pay and no other job offers on the horizon. Kiki has no interest in county music and no idea who Tatum is when she first meets him.

Tatum and Kiki are immediately attracted to each other but it seems one thing or another keeps them apart. I liked these two together and hoped they would work things out. This is an Intoxicating love story with great dynamics between the characters. I enjoyed the behind the scenes look at the music industry and what life on the road is really like.

This was such a cute & steamy read! I loved the characters and the storyline! I think I always love when superstars fall for the normal girl/guy in stories! Definitely looking forward to the next book in this series!!

"Coffee Girl" was such a wonderful read and I ripped through this one in less than 24 hours. Kiki and Tatum were two incredibly lovable characters and I was so happy see their character development throughout the book.

Sophie Sinclair's style of writing hooks you in and keeps you engaged through the entire story, and her witty one-liners definitely had me chuckling out loud more than once. Not only did she have great character arcs, but she created a cast of lovable side characters that support both Kiki and Tatum - I'm so looking forward to her next one featuring their best friends.

Do yourself a favor and put this steamy, well-written, indie-romance on your shelf ASAP.

This was a super fun & sweet & quick read!

I’m country music fan that lives in Europe, far far away from any possibility of fulfilling my country heart’s desires... so give me all the country music/cowboy romances I can get! If they have Spotify playlists - as Coffee Girl does, that’s a big plus!

The plot is the classic underdog-falls-in-love-with-the-celebrity type of thing. I loved Kiki and Tatum’s banter, their interactions made me smile and even got some laugh out loud moments out of me. I was thrilled that Tatum was simply a nice guy. I do love bad boys, but I was craving a hot good guy and Tate delivered. I would have preferred that the female characters weren’t so hateful and toxic towards each other, though. Thank God for Sarah! Her and TJ were wonderful side characters and I can’t wait to read Sarah and Lex’s romance in, Makeup Girl.

Overall this felt like that oldie but goodie romcom you’ve watched a thousand times, but will keeping going back to. Loved it!

4.5 ⭐️

Fired from her men’s stylist job in her hometown of San Francisco, Kiki lands a styling assistant gig to a popular country band and moves to Nashville. She bumps into a sexy man at the coffee shop, spilling coffee all over herself, only later to find out was Tatum—the lead singer of said popular country band. The undeniable attraction grows tension, but would the fame and business rise above the love and relationship? Or vice versa?

I love me celebrity romances, especially when it’s between a male celebrity and an ordinary heroine (i.e. Waiting for Tom Hanks, The HEA Playlist, Simply Starstruck)! And, Coffee Girl brought on hilarious dialogue, fun characters, a swoony male lead, and a healthy side of steam. I enjoyed all the tension, the build-up, and how the story was executed. Because I loved You’d Be Mine, gotta love it when there are country song lyrics included!

*ARC kindly provided via NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.*

I’m a coffee girl myself so I couldn’t pass this title without finding out more. Double this with a sexy country singer and you have an amazing story! This was my first book from the author and I’m looking forward to more of her stories!

Kiki works as a stylist at a men’s magazine. Because of budget cuts, she finds herself fired and in need of a job. Her two options: become a nanny for her obnoxious sister or work as an assistant for a country singer’s stylist. Since her sister is a pain, she decides to work for the country star. Tatum Is the mentioned country star. He recently got out of a toxic relationship and he’s getting ready for a tour, so distractions are the last thing he needs. However, from the first time he sees Kiki, he feels the urge to get to know her.

Their friendship and after relationship are not easy. He’s a public figure and she’s an ordinary girl. The situation with his ex just makes things even more difficult. There are happy times, sexy times but also hurt. These two will have to go through much before finally getting their HEA.

What I didn’t anticipated and was a nice surprise was the update at the end. The author gave us a glimpse of how everyone ended up after the last chapter. I’m happy to see that Sarah is getting her story. I’ll be looking for “The Makeup Artist”!!!

This book was so adorable. I finished it in one sitting. The characters were so funny, I love me some good banter! Sometimes I get annoyed with the whole "I'm out of so and so's league" thing, but I get where kiki was coming from. Her and Tatum were so cute! This was a feel good book and I loved it.

This was such an adorably fun and quick read! Kiki and Tatum stumbled a bit right until the very end, but they’re story was so cute and their chemistry was steamy AF. I’m not a huge country music fan, Tatum kind of makes me want to be! Kiki is super sweet and a little naive, but impossible not to like and root for. If you need a quick pick me up, this is the book for you!

The Coffee Girl is my the first book of Sophie Sinclair that I have come across in NetGalley. Thank you, NetGalley for this cute and sweet romance of ARC and; in exchange to that, I am writing my honest review for this awesome book.

Where should I start first? The introduction was great. Everything was made known. How Kiki gets her job as the "Coffee Girl" with Tatum for this Road Tour. It all explained line by line. It's an easy read. That's the first reason why I get glued to it.

Plot? Very straight forward and entertaining. I don't get tired of reading Tatum and Kiki's journey at all. I savour it by reading it with full concentration and I don't feel like rushing to the end because I knew that they both will eventually be going to end up together (whoops! Not so spoiler!). But don't you worry, you will get endless satisfaction with the storyline. Trust me, if you love reading a cute romance, then you will love this book.

There's not much of conflict and disagreement. The most you will get is Kiki was being in a state of low self-confidence and at all time being insecure with herself as an ordinary girl, not a popular one. She appeared to be unnecessarily competing with Savannah and Maddie. Honestly, I feel like screaming at her and say, "Look! Tatum loves you so much, you idiot! Why are you so insecure and overthinking? Duh!" I was hoping for a more natural couple-fighting that could bring up the best in both of them.

The characters are great and the development is very engaging. I was glued to the story and felt that the whole members in the band were dearly close to my heart. You should read this and observe how Tatum and Kiki begin to like each other. But at a certain point, the character remains as it is until the end. I have enjoyed how the antagonist being turned down and it creates the story became more exciting.

If you were looking for a very calm and relaxing pace of reading, you should pick this book. Ah! I sincerely hope that the publisher will let me read the next sequel. Can't wait!

My rating for this book is 5 of 5 stars!

Coffee Girl is a well written light hearted romance, the Kiki and Tatum are great characters. I enjoyed the friendships and the other plot lines as well as the main romance theme. I'm looking forward to reading more from Sophie!

I would recommend Coffee Girl by Sophie Sinclair to any romance book lover. My friends have been recommending this book to me for months and they were completely right. I have to say that at first I was unsure about this book going in because I am not typically a fan of "rock star romance" books, but this book was really well done. I really connected to the main charter, Kiki. Her story, personality and feelings were very relatable. The only negative thing I could say is that it ended too quickly and I wanted more in the end. I was excited to find out that I read it just in time to read it's sequel, "The Makeup Artist"!
