Coffee Break With The Billionaire by Holly Kerr
Rating: 3/5
Spice: 0/5
Primary Genre: Billionaire Romance/RomCom
Trigger Warnings: Alcohol use, bad parenting
Plot 3/5:
Billionaire heiress Fenella needs to go into hiding after her most recent, very public break up with her cheating ex. Where to? Her other ex’s (who’s a prince, by the way) remote town! Well, technically it’s a whole country. Fenella can’t get enough of the local coffee shop, Coffee For the Sole, and her pumpkin spice lattes. She also becomes interesting in the coffee shop owner, Silas, once she realizes there’s more to him than coffee beans.
Tropes:
• cinnamon roll hero
• friends-to-lovers
• small town
• opposites attract
The Good:
* If you love a small town vibe, you’ll be obsessed with Battle Harbor.
* The LGBTQ+ character representation was great to see. I honestly wasn’t expecting it, it was refreshing.
* I loved the fall setting of the book, it’s a great vibe for an October read.
The Meh:
* While I didn’t dislike the ending, it did feel a little bit rushed to me.
* The slow burn was so slow that this almost felt like women’s fiction. It doesn’t detract from the story but as I was nearing the end of the book I was left wondering when something would happen between the MC’s.
Bottom Line:
This is a sweet, light hearted fall/Halloween romance. I would pick this up if you’re in the mood for a cozy fall setting and a closed door, slow burn romance. The cast of characters are quirky and lovable, the small town has a funky Viking vibe, and there’s royals with a castle. What’s not to love?
