This book is a cute romantic comedy told from the perspectives of the two main characters, Jack and Susie. Jack owns a well-off coffee shop that will possibly become a set of chain stores if his sales remain steady. Then, Susie opens a business next door that makes Jack feel threatened, and they each try new marketing tips to attract business. Of course, there’s some mishaps, misunderstandings, and love connections.
This book was a quick, easy read. There weren’t any deep themes or hidden meaning to try to decipher. It got right to the point, even though there could have been more description and extra plot lines to explore if the author had wanted to.
The plot is a bit predictable, and the characters don’t have much depth. Susie’s brother, Kenneth, is the most troublesome character because he jumps straight to violence before he has a mature conversation about things, and he is very overprotective of his sister.
This story isn’t brilliantly written, but it is a cute, easy read that would be good for fans of Hallmark movies or for someone looking for a palate cleanser after a difficult read.
This book isn’t the best I’ve read in this genre, but it’s adequate.

This was a darling story. We've got a coffee shop owner, on the verge of franchising. When a tea shop opens next door, he doesn't see them as competition, but the two begin promoting each other. Jack and Susie are super cute. They are a lot of fun to read and there are some pretty funny moments. The surrounding cast of characters helps fill out the story. It was a highly enjoyable afternoon read. Highly recommended if you are looking for some light reading.
I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

A new day and another new Rich Amooi book and another one I devoured and another one with a predominantly male point of view!
I am loving all the romance books at the moment, I mean I will go back to my darker side soon, but I am loving the HEA and the drama! With this book, one sentence caught me and I was waiting for nearly 80% for the drama to unfold. I just knew what was going to happen, I foretold it but I knew the hero would save the day….even if it was his fault!
This time our main characters are Jack who owns a coffee shop and Susie who has just moved to the area and opened a tea shop with scones! Will these two be mortal enemies or will love win out?!
I am really loving how these early books are from the male point of view and how we see the insecurities they have! I always love the love at first sight scenario and it’s no different here despite being “competitors.” Plus it wouldn’t be a rom-com without your stereotypical protective “hard” guy.
Coffee, Tea or Me is a very cute read. The banter, the first kisses and dates will make you smile and your heart warm, despite knowing something can’t be this good to be true! Plus I want to go to Santa Monica and the pier! I must admit though I am on team Tea! Coffee makes me too hypo and I don’t need anything more!
All of Amooi’s books would be amazing to see on the big screen, a Netflix or Hallmark film. They are perfect for this, you have two endearing people who you champion from the start – think Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks!
Another book I’ve ticked off my list and I am now running out of books! I can’t wait to see what Mr Amooi has in store for me next!

I don't like dogs and every time I read about the face-licking dog, it threw me off. It was a nice, cute book otherwise.

A light hearted comedy romance. What happens when someone moves in on your business? Who opens a tea and scone shop next to a coffee and cake shop? Jack discovers that someone is encroaching on his patch. Follow as he delves into their world and it turns his whole world upside down. Not forgetting kisses from Chimi and dancing from Marvey Harvey!

Nothing going on. Given it’s only 210 pages you’d expect this to pick up quickly, but it didn’t.

I surprisingly liked this more than I thought. I'm usually not as into contemporary romance, usually because there is sex and I just don't need that in my books. But this book was clean, which was so refreshing!
It was a quick read. And conflict was there, but not too drawn out, I don't think. It wasn't a really dumb, complete misunderstanding either. I liked how the author made it all work out.
I think I'll look into reading more from this author. Which is another surprise because I haven't read too many good male romance authors.
