Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew by J.P. Sterling: Book Review

The Book

He’s burly, bearded and irresistibrew! Is there anything better than that?

After being cheated on, I conclude that I’m done with dating—forever.

Nothing good can come of it.

I’m so over relationship drama that I take off on an adventure to help my brother, Christian, open his new Coffee Loft franchise in the rural mountain town of Mapleton, Vermont. It’s supposed to be a simple escape, a chance to hide from heartbreak.

What I didn’t expect is to meet Stallone, a handsome and rugged man, with a gaze that makes me weak in the knees.

I'm not looking for love, but it’s okay to have a little distraction.

He quickly shutsdown my flirtation, making it clear he’s not looking for anything.

Perfect. Neither am I.

Except when I look back at him, his gaze so dialed into mine, my heart skips a beat.

He’s a very attractive distraction.

Maybe I am looking? Just a little.

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew is an instalove, age gap love story between two people—who both experienced the ultimate hurt—but find each other and discover that true love wins.

The Author

J.P. Sterling grew up watching old reruns of Lucille Ball and Mary Tyler Moore and fell in love with wholesome entertainment and slapstick comedy. She loves leaning into the over-the-top humor and full circle moments, especially if it means the underdog gets to shine. 

Aside from writing, she's also a wife and homeschooling mom, a holistic dietitian, a former college professor and lover of all things dark chocolate. 

*No swears. Just kisses. No Blasphemies.*

Book Review

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew is part of the Coffee Loft Series: Mountain Brew collection- a multi-author series of standalone romances, all featuring mountain men and a Coffee Loft shop. This particular book is connected to Pardon My French Press (Arielle is Christian's sister and he does make an appearance) but again could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone.  

I've enjoyed the previous Coffee Loft collections with all their cozy romance vibes... but throwing in some mountain men too!? Yes, please... I was very much looking forward to this most recent addition. And it absolutely did not disappoint. Both Arielle and Stallone have been hurt in previous relationships (hers very recently, being what prompted her to leave town with her brother where she meets Stallone), and as such were hesitant about starting up anything new. Of course, as romance readers we know what that means, right? These two had such a great instant chemistry. It was quick and easy, and I couldn't help but love them together. While I know instalove isn't everyone's cup of tea, I personally love it and thought the quick romance worked well for these two! This was a sweet read that kept me smiling throughout. 

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
