The Book

Fenella is a billionaire sent into hiding after her latest breakup goes viral. Silas is the local barista who never expected his dream girl to walk into his coffee shop. Will pumpkin be the only spice on the menu this fall?

Fenella Carrington knows how to get attention.

But after her latest scandal—with yet another unsuitable boyfriend—threatens to break the internet, Fenella is told to consciously uncouple from her celebrity lifestyle because she’ll never be taken seriously if her antics keep making headlines.

When Fenella is offered a hiding spot to wait out the backlash—in a castle no less—she jumps on a private jet and prepares to spend the fall in Laandia, a tiny country on the edge of the Atlantic.

When Fenella isn’t hanging out in the castle, her first stop is the local coffee shop, where the barista, Silas, is as sweet as a cinnamon roll.

Thanks to social media, Silas thinks he knows the type of woman Fenella is—the kind that will hit his town like a storm, and leave everyone, himself included, to pick up the pieces. But he still jumps at the chance to serve her pumpkin spice lattes.

Fenella might take Laandia by storm, but will Silas be the one who changes everything for Fenella?

Coffee Break with the Billionaire is a closed-door, friends-to-lovers sweet romcom, with pub crawls, pumpkin carving and a sky full of stars.

Book Review

Coffee Break with the Billionaire is the seventh book in the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series. This is a multi-author series and all books can be enjoyed as standalones or in any order. This story does also feature characters from the author's Love in Laandia series. I had not personally read the books in this series and again found I was able to enjoy nonetheless. 

This was another fun addition to the Cinnamon Rolls and Pumpkin Spice series... with a female billionaire, a flannel wearing barista and all the fall vibes. Silas was a wonderful character that drew me in right away... he was the sweetest in the way he put his family first and definitely felt like he could have walked off the screen of a Hallmark movie. Admittedly though, it took me a bit longer to come around to Fenella! In those first few chapters, she definitely came across as the spoiled rich girl... and in some ways, she was... but I liked getting to see her beyond that as the story went on. By the end of the story, she had won me over and I enjoyed seeing these two together. It was definitely very much a slow burn, but I enjoyed seeing their relationship progress throughout the story. 

Coffee Break with the Billionaire is a closed-door romance with kisses only. The author does a great job of breaking down reader expectations, so definitely check that out to decide if it's a good fit for you!
