Kiki is out of a job and has no place to live when her brother helps her find a new job styling a country star on his tour. Tatum (said country star) is fresh out of a “relationship” that he was faking for the tabloids when he runs into Kiki and sparks fly. Can they avoid the mutual attraction and work together in close quarters on the tour?

This book was so cute! The characters were funny and enjoyable, the plot moved at a nice pace, and the resolution was happy. What more could you ask for in a rom com?! There was quite a bit of steam in the middle there (almost too much for me, TBH) but I enjoyed everything else so much that I didn’t mind! I am excited for the second book in the series and will definitely check it out. I’m so glad a friend recommended this one to me!

This was a fun (and funny) romance between two people from very different backgrounds. Tatum, the famous country superstar and Kiki, a girl taking a much needed job on Tatum’s tour have great Chemistry. As they begin to develop feelings for each other, things keep getting in the way of their happiness - ex girlfriends, crazy fans and the press to sabotage their relationship. Can they ever make it work? I also loved the other characters, TJ and Sarah. Can’t wait to read Sarah’s story!

This was a super fun and easy book to read and just what I needed.

A lighthearted rom-com set in the sexy world of young country music stars, its one of those books you don't have to think through and take anything too seriously, just enjoy it for what it is.

Full of beautiful people, hot characters and steamy sex scenes to make you blush I breezed through this one in a day.

Thoroughly recommend anytime you are looking for some carefree escapism.

Warning: Do not read this book in public or even around your friends and family if you are afraid of being judged for grinning and straight out cackling to yourself. You just know a book is gonna be a winner when you want to stalk all of its characters and are practically salivating for more from not only the main character but every single support character introduced within the novel !!!!!!

I was totally blown away by how entertaining and downright hilarious the storyline was. Sophie Sinclair has written such an amazingly relatable line up of characters that I literally want (no need!) to be in this book. Is there anything more relatable than talking smack about your sisters Instagram post while tapping the heart to like it ?? (we've all been there).

Kiki has recently found herself on the unemployment block and her bro (the cute, hunky, mysterious) Cam hooks her up with an assistant stylist gig for Country's hottest bad boy Tatum Reed and oh mama! As Kiki tries to navigate the world of touring, country music fashion, frenemy bosses, mean artistes, bitter exes and the constant parade of hot men she tries not to lose her integrity and become a typical groupie which Tatum is making really really difficult by stripping every freaking day in front of her. I honestly did not know which was more entertaining to me Kiki's real life, her inner monologuing or her witty banter and comebacks, she is spunky spicy and so headstrong!

Tatum's signature line is "Chick's dig it" and you know what dangnabbit he is absolutely right. They dig it so much he has a creepy crazy ex tipping dirty details to the tabloids, an upcoming starlet popping into his bed and fans grabbing his top and bottom. What's a guy to do when he's asked to play a bad boy role for the media and all he really wants to do is get hot and heavy with his stylist. Can the pressure of having a "secret" relationship ruin the one thing he didn't know he needed?

It would be remiss of me to end this review without mentioning the real star of this book, T freaking J (aka bestie of Kiki). TJ- is literally the best friend you wish you had. His compilation of witty one-liners takes this book from romcom to comedic genius! The icing on top of the cake for me was definitely the fact that it has its own soundtrack. I mean come on, she writes and has an eclectic taste in music that had me You-Tubing in the wee hours of the morning!

I cannot wait for more of my favorite Nashville posse because in the end all we really want is someone to fall with us! !!!!!

Thank you to NetGallery for allowing me to read the arc in exchange for my honest review

I enjoyed the main characters and their banter, their getting to know each other chats with music references dotted throughout. A little hot and steamy but filled with a sweet romance and comical comebacks.

I enjoyed this book but did feel like there was something missing, I think some more detail on the characters or build up to the romance but happy nonetheless for an easy read!

I saw this title by chance on NetGalley and read the description. It sounded like a fun read and it certainly was. I read it in 1 sitting. I can’t believe it is the authors first novel. It was excellent all the way through. All the characters were really well written and although the storyline was a bit far fetched it was a really great read. I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like about the story and I am really looking forward to read Sarah’s story which I believe is out soon.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read the novel.

Kiki has a choice to make after losing her job, become a nanny for her annoying sister or go on tour with a country band as a stylist! She chooses the latter and falls for the lead singer Tatum. The story comes from both Kiki and Tatums perspective and kept me turning page after page. This light hearted romance is thoroughly enjoyable, and I would recommend. Thank you to net galley for the read.

Wow! I could not put down this book. Kiki down on her luck gets a chance to get her foot back into the door of the fashion industry and not only that she finds love when she least expects it. The writing was very captivating and left you wanting more. I can't wait to read the next book.

I am swooning!

Absolutely swooning over Coffee Girl! Like what in the world, I just totally fell in love with Tatum Reed and Kiki Forbes and I am extremely sad this fun book is over with.

You know when you find a book that just wraps you right up and you actually feel like you are living in the story? Like nothing could snap you out of this fantasy land you are in? That’s how I felt reading Coffee Girl. I just totally want to go on a country star tour with this fun bunch of characters that Sophie Sinclair has created.

I freaking adored Tatum and Kiki. Tatum being a hot, hot, hotttttt country singer and Kiki being a goofy, adorable stylist. I could not get enough of them and all their banter and drama. They totally suck you in and so does their steamy attraction to each other!

“Want to fall with me?”

Plus, the title Coffee Girl? I’m obsessed, after reading it I think it is the cutest title in the world and I applaud Sinclair for just writing this adorable book! It was just what I needed and I devoured it in a day and a half.

My romance lovers? Not even kidding when I say you need to get this book asap and just enjoy every minute of it because I promise you will! I’m totally having a book hangover and need to get my hands on the next one in this series.

This week’s book review is Coffee Girl by Sophie Sinclair. A new to me author. Now, I don’t know about you, but reading a new author is SO much like dating for me. There are nerves as I open the book and a few jitters as I get to the first page. There is a period of getting to know the voice and rhythm of the author, just like finding out the favorite color or movie of a prospective love interest. Sometimes it works and you end the evening with a kiss and plans for a second date… or book.

Coffee Girl is written in first person present tense. Now I am probably going to get a basket full of tomatoes thrown at me here, but I’ll admit that this is NOT my favorite. I enjoy either first or third person writing, but present tense loses me a lot of times. In the case of Coffee Girl, however, Ms. Sinclair manages to write it in a way that is seamless and manages to pull me deep into the lives of the characters to the point I lose myself in the words and ignore everything else.

Kiki Forbes has is ROUGH in the first few chapters of the book. She loses her job as a stylist for a magazine and is thrown into financial peril… especially considering the fact that she lives in a region that is *pricey* even for a studio apartment. So it isn’t long before Kiki is actually willing to take the job as a Dress Barn associate. Not at all what she was looking for.

As things get tighter for her, she has two job opportunities in front of her:

Be a nanny for her Facebook perfect sister or,
An assistant to a stylist (i.e. a glorified coffee girl) for country music’s sexiest man alive
Neither is what she is looking for, but Kiki has to take something and working for her snarky sister seems like more torture than she’s willing to endure at this point after all she’s been through. So instead she packs her bags and moves from Cali to Nashville (hello culture shock!) and the world of Tatum Reed.

Now as for Tatum, from the outside his life is pretty darn close to perfect. My man has a skyrocketing country music career and an idyllic relationship with a fellow singer that fans would kill for… or so that is what his publicist wants everyone to believe. In reality their relationship ended several months prior, but since their fans have put them on a mile high pedestal, all the managers and PR specialists involved have suggested they save face and pretend they are still together…

At least long enough to snag a coveted country music award.

Coffee Girl is a lighthearted romance with low angst and a great choice for a relaxing read in a bubble bath with a glass of wine and a square of the good chocolate (you know the kind I mean) to put the cherry on the top of the decadent self-care sundae.

I say this alot but I don't know why I have waited so long to read this! I'm always very hesitant with trying new authors but I don't know why as this was AMAZING!
Rockstar romances are my favourite trope but this was my first based around a country music star.
Tatum is going on tour with his band and is in the process of ending things with his girlfriend of 2 years who is also a country music star.
Kiki is down on her luck atm. Shes had a string of bad dates, lost her job as a stylist for a magazine and could possibly end up losing her apartment. To add insult to injury her snooty sister had offered her a job as her nanny/housemaid/general dogs body. Kiki hate the idea of working her her sister so begs her brother to help. He gets in touch with his friend Lee who gets her a job as Tatums bands stylists assistant. Not being into country music Kiki has no idea who Tatum is and although the job is mainly getting coffees and general housekeeping jobs she takes it and moves to Nashville with the hopes of proving her worth to her boss Jess.
Ahhh Coffee Girl and Tater Tot you 2 are just 😍😍😍 the slow burn between them was great. Tatum was mesmerised by l Kiki from the off but being a star he try to fight his instincts but can't stay away. Kiki is very cautious of Tatum after all his ex is a gorgeous music star and he could have his pick of any woman. They get a lot of crossed wires at the beginning but the outcome was so worth it.
This book was everything I love in a romance, funny, steamy and dramatic without being too ott. I loved Kikis friendship with TJ and Sarah. Her chats with TJ had me in stitches especially with be text message mix up. This was such a good story I started in at midnight and stayed up till 3am I didn't want to put it down and for me that's the sign of great read. I was so absorbed in it I didn't want to stop. The characters were well written and I loved Kikis sass and Tatums confidence and charm. I wouldn't hesitate to read anything by Sophie Sinclair again and can't wait to read the next installment with Sarah and Lex

I was really excited about this book when I read the plot, but a few chapters in I knew this wasn’t what I was expecting. I did not enjoy this book at all. It fell flat at every turn and I kept feeling disappointed as I continued reading.

Tatum is the stereotypical male celebrity who’s ego and libido cause more trouble than good. Honestly I didn’t like his player ways by hooking up with a girl every night and not remembering their names or what had happened. For me it kind of ruins the allure of having a crush worthy book boyfriend. He also shattered the illusion of a I have of a hot sensitive country star. Typically I would think of them as funny, kind, and wear their heart on their sleeve, but every time he said “chicks dig ‘em” it was like nails on a chalk board.

I had a hard time with Kiki too. Everything about her attraction to Tatum was superficial. When I would think they were about to have a meaningful conversation, the next comment out of Kiki’s mind or mouth was about how amazing he looked in jeans or how hot he was in a shirt. It got old real fast how one dimensional their relationship was.

There was no enjoyable story here. The book was so sex driven I couldn’t even appreciate some of the funny bits of the story or the humorous side characters. I was craving any kind of emotional connection, but Tatum and Kiki just came off as immature and irrational. At times I felt like this story was a mess. The story was over dramatized, the writing juvenile, and the characters lack any form of imagination. I wish for more from this book, but sadly for me, this book was a letdown

Coffee Girl was an unexpected gem for me that I couldn’t put down. For a debut novel, this was well-written and the cast of characters were so enjoyable (with a few villainous exceptions, of course!).

The book follows Kiki, a girl who finds herself employed as a styling assistant by Country music’s hottest star, Tatum Reed. She and Tatum have an adorable meet cute involving coffee, which leads us on enjoyable ride as the two navigate their feelings toward one another while touring the country. It was a fun, fast-paced storyline with a great backstage view of life on the road. I was a little put off at times by some of the interactions, but found myself laughing out loud at the banter between Coffee Girl and Tator Tot, and Kiki and her best friend TJ. Overall, I thought this was a fun, witty romcom that has me excited for Sinclair’s next book which follows the character Sarah.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sophie Sinclair for an advanced copy. This is one you won’t want to miss!

Coffee Girl by Sophie Sinclair

Description. “
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 showbusiness 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. Life in the public eye is never all it’s cracked up to be, which has both Kiki and Tatum questioning what they’re really doing with their careers, and their hearts.”

I could really relate to Kiki she is just a normal girl just trying to find her way in life. The lost of her job, Kiki’s bad dating life and the love of her cat “Oreo”. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought the book was real, with all the twists and turns I felt like I was in the moment with her and I really enjoyed it. I got to admit Touché to Sophie Sinclair those smut scenes were amazing! I went through all the emotions with this book! I didn’t want it to end!

I would give a 4 out of 5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and looking forward to the next books.

I’ve seen this book all over Instagram for a while. I don’t know why I waited to so long to read it! Thank you @netgalley for the copy. I loved this story so much. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning! I couldn’t put the book down! There was no over the top drawn out drama either! I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!!!

Kiki has just about given up on men, when she is trust into the world of country music star Tatum. He's totally out of her league, but she can't deny the attraction. Only she's not sure if all his flirting is just his natural charming behavior or it's true feelings. Filled with self doubt, only fueled even further when women of his past throw it in her face, Kiki has to decide if she wants to trust the star or move on before things get too involved. Plenty of up and downs. Quite a bit of humor. Some sexy times. A little swooniness. The characters are fun. Of course there are the typical 'mean girl' or two. It's a pretty fun read, though it did get redundant abit with how Kiki's character was constantly reminding us how she was a nobody and a big star like Tatum couldn't possible like her. I could have done with less of that, but otherwise it was an enjoyable read. It alternates between POVs.

*I received a copy of this book through Netgalley.

Coffee Girl and Tater Tot’s love story is one of my all time favorites! From first to the last page,from writing to the characters in it, this book was perfect and I loved every single thing about it.
I loved how funny, goofy,beyond adorable and real Kiki’s character is. I loved how thoughtful, kind and sometimes even cocky Tatum is. I couldn’t get enough of them! They were both amazing characters and I fell in love with them right from the start.
Reading those first interactions between them had me laughing like crazy. Kiki was hyperventilating every time she was around Tatum,blabbering nonsense,blushing like crazy and when they finally got together I thought my heart was going to melt from how adorable together they are. Chemistry between them was really undeniable!
I haven’t read many books with secondary characters that are equally amazing as the main ones,even those that were really mean were hilarious in their own way and made this story even more perfect for me. Kiki’s best friend TJ was hilarious, I LOVE him! Friendship between her cat Oreo and their driver Stan-too adorable! And that song Tatum has written for Kiki... Gah! I have no words!
I think I found my new favorite author and I’m so excited to read more from her.
I cannot recommend this book enough! It’s an understatement to say that I just loved it and I CAN’T wait to read Sarah and Lex’s book, The Makeup Artist, can’tcan’tcan’t wait!!

One of my all time favorite romances is the Thoughtless series by S.C. Stephens. There’s something about a confident musician that just makes you swoon.

And then we meet Tatum..... Country music’s leading man on the road touring with his band, and team including his personal stylists’ assistant, Kiki. Tatum Cannot wait to lose his ex girlfriend and America’s not so sweetheart Savanna Edwards since they’ve managed to keep the media believing they are still in love when really they hate eachother.

Kiki isn’t sure about this whole “country scene”. Especially after her first run in with the hot singer, where she is covered in coffee earning the nickname “the coffee girl”.


Kiki and Tatum’s relationship blossoms from mutual understanding to hot chemistry while on tour with the band. You can only hide a love like that for so long ;).

This is a book I’ll be sharing with friends and recommending for my romance lovers.
The relationship felt genuine and I loved the pop culture and music references. I think this couple deserves their own playlist.

I’m just sad I can’t listen to Tatum sing “Fall with me” *swoon*

I can’t wait to read more by this talented author. She deserves all the love!

Received ARC through NetGalley.

A fun story with a nice take on the "normal girl famous musician" trope. I enjoyed it, but wish there was more story about the couple as a couple at the end.
