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.

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!

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.

I want to thank NetGalley and Sophie Sinclair for the ARC of Coffee Girl to read.
Kiki needs a job after losing hers. Her sister offers to hire her as a nanny for her children. Her brother says he knows of a job as an assistant to a stylist for a country singer. She takes the job and moves to Nashville.
She meets the singer in a not very pleasant way that involves a mishap with coffee she is getting for others.
The time on tour all over country brings its share of ups and downs. The chemistry between Kiki and Tatum is amazing.

The story has an amazing cast of people that you come to love and enjoy but has its share of not so nice people.
This is a fantastic debut book.

Who wouldn’t want to join someone famous on tour, especially if that someone is a hunky country star? I sure would love it! I was SO excited when I saw Coffee Girl come up on netgalley in their Read Now section. I’ve only read good things about it!

Kiki is fired from her men’s stylist job and is offered either helping her sister and become a nanny (and yes that includes pressing her brother in laws underwear, no thank you!) or go on tour with a major country music singer. Rather than becoming a nanny, Kiki decides to go on tour, where she ends up meeting a handsome guy on her first day, as she spills coffee down her shirt. The hunk is of course none other than Tatum, the major country artist. Kiki and Tatums attraction grows, but will a relationship work when fame is on the lines?

I loved the romantic banter between Kiki and Tatum, the lyrics, real relationship problems, and so much more! Tatum is full of swoon, even if he is a little cocky, it worked for him. I also appreciated Kiki being a little self conscious, it made her so realistic!

This is Sophie Sinclair’s debut novel and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t wait to read Sarah’s story, she was such a fun character in Kikis story. If you’re a romance fan, like celebrity stories, steam and especially country music, I suggest you check out Coffee Girl!

Thank you to the author Sophie Sinclair for a gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Kiki just got laid off from her job in fashion and her options are to either be her pretentious sister’s nanny or move to Nashville to work as an assistant to the stylist of the country music star, Tatum Reed. Well, neither sounds fun, but life on the road touring with the band beats folding her sister and brother in law’s underwear. From the moment Kiki and Tatum meet, it’s instant attraction but a relationship in the public eye comes with its costs.

One of my goals in 2020 is to read more from indie authors and I’m so glad I picked this one up. I devoured it in less than a day! The story is engaging and the dialogue is fun with some cute banter. I was a little skeptical at first – there are some cringeworthy interactions and Tatum’s character seems questionable, but the story swept me along and I couldn’t put it down. The supporting characters are just as good. My favorite is definitely Kiki’s gay best friend TJ. Really looking forward to the next book featuring Sarah!

I must say this was a very fun, enjoyable read. For a debut book it was written very well and the main characters were very easy to like. My only critique would be that it was very predictable. You could tell quite far off what direction it would take which of course does take away from the excitement when you know exactly what's about to happen.

I LOVE THIS BOOK - I literally read it in one sitting - thanks to my husband refilling my tea cup.
Kiki - what a character, she is full of sass and determination, funny and loyal, but with her own insecurities that keep popping up. And Tatem - just he not just sound like sex in cowboy boots??
A Country Rock Star Romance that kept me thoroughly entertained. I cant wait to rad the next one and whatever else Sophie Sinclair has written. I love her writing style, pace and character development.
Thank you to all for my ARC - LOVED IT

This book y’all. If you remember way back to the end of December, I named You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn as one of my favorite books of 2019. I didn’t think I would find another musician romance book that I loved as much. Well, then I read More Jade by Laura Pavlov and fell in love with this trope yet again. But then I read Coffee Girl by @sophiesinclairauthor and became OBSESSED.⁣

If you are a romance lover, you need to read this so you can meet Kiki and Tatum. I promise you won’t be disappointed. They have one of the best meet cutes when Kiki ends up with coffee all over her thanks to Tatum. He proceeds to nickname her Coffee Girl and the rest is history! Just kidding. The rest of this book is filled with some steam, an angry ex-girlfriend, a hilarious best friend, and an Irish guitar player. Of course, it ends with a happily ever after but I’m pretty sure all of my favorite books do! Oh, and Sophie Sinclair is giving us more when she writes a second book about that Irish guitar player and Kiki’s new best friend! ⁣

Coffee Girl was such an unexpected gem of a novel! I was so impressed with Sophie Sinclair's debut novel and cannot wait to read the rest of the series. She reminds me of Christina Lauren's earlier works, for anyone else who is a fan! Coffee Girl is about Kiki, a girl who finds herself searching for a job and ends up employed by Tatum Reed, the biggest name in country music, as the assistant stylist on his tour. Her and Tatum have an adorable meet cute that of course involves coffee, and from there on out the tensions were high between the two as they try to navigate their feelings for each other in the crazy world of celebrities. Tatum comes with a lot of baggage- his high profile ex-girlfriend is furious at him for ending things and wants revenge and is constantly around stirring up trouble for Kiki and Tatum. Kiki also is finding herself on this tour, both professionally and has she begins to fall for Tatum. I thought this book had it all! It was funny, it was witty, it felt original, and I loved reading about them being on tour. I genuinely don't have enough good things to say!

Ahhh Coffee Girl is everything. Why didn’t I read this sooner?!? @sophiesinclairauthor has a way with words that gets you hooked and keeps you locked in. ⁣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I started this book last night around 7pm. I normally go to bed by 830, I stayed up past midnight to finish this because it was THAT good. I couldn’t get enough. ⁣

The banter between Tatum and Kiki and the conversations between TJ and Kiki had me laughing out loud. There was just enough drama, humor, and romance to make this unputdownable.⁣

Did I mention Tatums band raises money for an animal rescue in this and there is a fat cat named Oreo? I always love me a book that supports animal rescue and has fur babes; fiction or not. ⁣

Sarah was such an awesome friend to Kiki and set an amazing example of how women should lift each other up, instead of bringing them down.⁣

I cannot WAIT for her story in book two. I’m going to go crazy waiting for it til May. #bookstagram #books #romance #romcom #countrystuds

REVIEW | Coffee Girl by Sophie Sinclair
.
When Kiki finds herself unemployed, she needs to find work fast. She ends up landing a spot as the assistant to the stylist of Tatum, a swoony country star.
.
I flew through this one in a day! It kept me turning the pages and I loved the accessible writing style. It reminded me a lot of The Happy Ever After Playlist, and in a good way.
.
Notable things I liked:
⭐️The characters were fun
⭐️The adorable lyrics
⭐️Any hero described as a Paul Walker lookalike 🙌🏼
⭐️The steam level 🔥🔥
⭐️The rockstar trope- I was on the fence about this trope but now I’m starting to dig it
.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Thank you netgalley and Sophie Sinclair for this ARC💗

I read A LOT of romance, so for a book to really stand out says so much. Coffee Girl stands out. I binged this baby in about 4 hours- which is saying something big. This book has everything you need in a romcom. Kiki and Tatum have a perfect meet cute where Kiki ends up with coffee all over her- hence the nickname. They were the perfect couple. Kiki was talented and funny. Tatum was a HOT, sweet, talented, country music star book boyfriend!!! There is plenty of steam that is well placed and perfectly hot. Awesome supporting characters, especially Kiki’s best friend TJ who was so stinking hilarious.

This is Sophie’s first book and I will be impatiently waiting for the next in the series, “The Makeup Artist” in May!!
