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.
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!

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!
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"!
This was surprisingly good, Kiki and Tatum were likeable and realistic characters. Kik's best friend and Sarah were also well written characters. Can't wait to read about Sarah and hopefully Lex.
Would recommend for anyone that likes romance with a music star.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance read, I voluntarily read and reviewed all opions are my own.
I received a free E-ARC of this book from NetGallery in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts and feelings are my own.When Mackenzie “Kiki” Forbes finds herself out of a job due to budget cut at the fashion magazine she has been working for for the past couple of years, she knows she must make the jump on finding a new job and the options are not promising. When faced with either becoming her "picture perfect" sister’s nanny, or move halfway across the country to work as assistant-to-the-stylist of a country music star, she chooses the assistant job.. But life on the road as the errand coffee girl leaves much to be desired. That is, until Kiki meets her new boss’s boss, music country star Tatum Reed. While Tatum Reed's music career maybe taking off and he is up for country music’s Entertainer of the Year, his personal life is a whole other matter. What with dealing with his superstar ex-girlfriend seems determined to make his life difficult, his opening act is a handful, and the new girl on his tour, who he can't seem to get off his mind. Tatum Reed needs to make some serious decisions. Can a simply coffee girl really win the heart of a mega Country singer or will it just lead to another heartbreak country song?
This book had all the right elements to make it a fantastic book, but I felt the romance side of the book was a little too rushed. It seemed like Kiki and Tatum did not really know each other before they were sleeping together and only then did they really start building their fountain for a more meaningful relationship. I did enjoy Kiki as a character because I felt the author did a great job of giving her a little more depth. I liked her best friend as the comedic relief. I also liked how close Kiki was to her brother. I did not really care for the sister all that much, but I believe that is how the author intended us to feel towards her. The ending of the book was a bit over the top and somewhat predictable. I was glad for the wrap up of the major story line. Overall, I would recommend this book to people who like a music star and the common girl romance. I will be reading the next installment in this series about Lex and his romance.
WOW! This book took me all of 4 hours to read and I loved every second of it. love the enemies to lovers and books set in the music industry, they are so fun and keep me interested.

I loved Kiki’s family dynamic! Her relationship with her brother is adorable and he’s so protective of her. Her sister is so crazy and controlling and I couldn’t stop laughing during her scenes with her because of how ridiculous she is. Kiki’s friendship with Sarah, the makeup artist (there is a book coming out about her next..fireworks) is so sweet and I’m so glad they were there for each other. And Tate…he is dreamy and so sweet to Kiki and I loved so much about him (add heart eyes) There is lots of steam in this book btw!

I can not say enough amazing things about this book and can't wait to read more by this author!!
I thoroughly enjoyed being in Tatum and Kiki's world. How cool would it be to be on tour with a famous singer? This is Kiki's life, assistant stylist to Tatum, the country's biggest country music star. Throw in a solid love story, some steamy scenes, an ex wanting revenge and fabulous best friends - what more could you want in a book? Funny, cute and entertaining, I can't wait to read book 2 in the series!!
This book was lighthearted and easy to follow. The lead girl (Kiki) is headstrong and doesn’t easily give into the guy (Tatum). Both were strong characters and likeable. I liked that it was from the perspective of both of the lead characters.
The country music theme was different but I did find it parts it dragged a little and was predictable. I would like to see what happens to Lex and Sarah.
Coffee Girl was everything I wanted in a contemporary romance. It was so well written, with strong characters and a great story arch. I thought Kiki was so relatable, as a woman in her 20s trying to figure out her life. She's career focused, but also doesn't shy away from a chance at love. Tatum was a mix of adorably cocky and down to earth about the things that truly matter. He values relationships over fame, which was nice to see in the hero, especially one who was such a famous heartthrob. I enjoyed the pacing of this book, and thought the conflict was reasonable and the resolution was so satisfying. It definitely had the perfect ending!
COFFEE GIRL was such a fun peek into the perks and pitfalls of life within the music industry. Kiki is a fashion stylist who is looking for a job and her brother just happens to have an in with a touring country music artist, Tatum. Kiki and Tatum are completely adorable and hilarious! Their moments together are absolutely laugh out loud funny and their banter back and forth is perfect. I love a romance that has playfulness and passion!
One thing I particularly liked about this story was that the conflicts and "bad guys" were nuanced and complex. So often, book characters are painted as all bad and all good. But you can see both sides of each character and each conflict that arises. The author give enough care to tell a story where you can see that sometimes there is no easy answer.
If you're in the mood for swoony romance, great friendships, and lots of hilariously awkward moments that will make you laugh then I highly recommend this book!
Thanks to Netgally and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.
Wow! Coffee Girl entered my life entirely unexpectedly, just like Kiki Forbes did for Tatum Reed. This book earns all the stars from me. I am a huge country music fan, and this book filled a fantasy I didn't even know I was craving. This hilarious and romantic story took me backstage and provided a glimpse of the drama and struggles of life tours on the road. Once I started this book, I was hooked and couldn't stop reading! I fell in love with all the characters and wish they could be my friends in real life. I didn't want this story to end. Now I cannot wait to read the next book, The Makeup Artist by Sophie Sinclair, and continue this adventure or music and love. #CoffeeGirl #NetGalley
