The Barista's Guide to the Perfect Steam by Valerie Pepper

4.0

I loved this book even more than the first in the series! It's a cute romance that gives me hallmark vibes with a little bit of spice.
If you're looking for smut, this isn't for you. But it also goes a little farther than fade to black. On a scale of bell pepper to ghost pepper, I'd give it a jalapeño.
I enjoyed the characters and the comfort of having a predictable plot line. It's the perfect fall/winter curl up with a warm drink and binge in a day book.
