Love Me Tender, Love Me Brew by Amy Stephens: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 




The Book

If you’ve ever stopped by The Coffee Loft in Lake Tahoe, chances are you’ve met Edwin Wesley. Dubbed as the singing barista with sideburns, he’s always serving customers with a smile and an Elvis Presley song.

Everyone knows how much he enjoys singing and impersonating the King, so when a national talent company announces they’re coming to town for Tahoe’s Got Talent, Edwin should be the first person to sign up, right? Wrong. Turns out someone has a little bit of stage fright.

Charlotte Jordan has had a crush on Edwin since the first day she began working at the coffee shop. It was love at first sight the first time she laid eyes on his blue suede sneakers and she’s done everything she could think of to let him know except sing it from the rooftop.

Worried that Edwin is making a terrible mistake, Charlotte goes behind his back and adds his name to the list. She’d rather risk their friendship than have him miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime.

Music lovers and fans of swoony, sweet romances, get ready to fall in love with Edwin and Charlotte in Love Me Tender, Love Me Brew. Two baristas, two friendships, and an epic encore you won’t soon forget!

Book Review

Love Me Tender, Love Me Brew is part of The Coffee Loft: Fall Collection. This is a multi-author series with each book featuring a Coffee Loft coffee shop, but all are able to be read in any order or as standalones. 

This was such a fun read. From our very first introduction to Edwin as a child, performing along to Elvis, I was hooked. Seriously, one of the cutest openings ever... I absolutely adored it! The rest of the story was equally sweet and enjoyable--- filled with some fall vibes, a sweet romance and of course, all the coffee inspired Elvis puns! (Seriously, this book will 100% have you wanting to put on some Elvis music during and after you read!) As many books as I read, I can't say that I've ever read a book with an Elvis impersonating main character, so I thought that was a really fun aspect of Edwin and Charlotte's story that set it apart. This is a super short read, easily read in just one sitting. I definitely could have enjoyed more of their story too--- they were super cute together, but it didn't feel incomplete or rushed--- just the perfect bite-sized fall romance for a fun pick me up! 

Love Me Tender, Love Me Brew is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
