The Book

She’s here to save the coffee shop. He’s here to save her heart.

Kathryn Taylor isn’t in Elk Ridge to make friends. She’s here on a mission: turn around the Coffee Loft, the struggling local coffee shop she’s been sent to save, or head back to Wilmington empty-handed. But Kathryn’s play-it-by-the-book approach faces one serious obstacle: Nolan Callahan, the gruff, infuriatingly handsome local who seems determined to get in her way. He’s known in town as “Mr. Mountain Man,” and he has a reputation for keeping his heart—and his business—close to home.

Nolan’s family welcomed the Coffee Loft’s corporate owner to Elk Ridge three years ago, but after a falling out, he’s steered clear of the place ever since. Now Kathryn is bringing her big-city ideas to his small town, and she’s making it harder than ever to keep his distance.

When corporate profits clash with small-town values, Kathryn and Nolan have no choice but to work together. She’s focused on community events, a wishing wall, and cozy café nights—all in an attempt to save the Coffee Loft. He’s focused on staying out of her way…and maybe stealing a few heartbeats along the way.

But when Kathryn’s boss unexpectedly decides to cut his losses and close up shop, she faces a choice: go back to her old life, or take a chance on love and the town that’s starting to feel like home.

All You Need Is Macchiato is a heartwarming, clean romance filled with small-town charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and a romance that’s brewing up to be a perfect blend.

Book Review

All You Need is Macchiato is part of The Coffee Loft: Mountain Brew Collection. This is a multi-author series of standalone romances, with each story featuring a Coffee Loft shop. 

If you love a good Hallmark love story, this one is absolutely going to be right up your alley. City girl comes to a small town and is trying to save the local coffee shop--- and ends up falling in love with a local. Like I said, it definitely has some of those Hallmark vibes--- in the best ways possible: small town charm, a community coming together and of course, a sweet and cozy love story. I really enjoyed Kathryn and Nolan together with their sweet chemistry. Having read Beanful Wishes (the author's book from the fall Coffee Loft collection), I thought it was really fun to revisit the idea of the Wish Wall in a new town and shop. I think those who have read that book will likewise appreciate the connection, but this can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone if you haven't read that one. This is definitely a shorter read, but didn't feel rushed or incomplete at all. 

All You Need is Macchiato is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
