My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up by her. One of the things I enjoy most about her is her writing skills and attention to details. They make her stories pop and come to life. This book is no different. This is a cozy mystery that was easy and entertaining to read. A fast paced story that is not only engaging but hard to put down. A story where the owner of a business not only makes new friends but finds time to solve mysteries. This is a really great sweet story that you don’t want to miss. This is a must read story and I highly recommend this book.

This book is the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte. This can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading both, because there is so much story and information to get from both books. This book shared the story of Veloura’s life growing up and bless her heart she did have it rough.

Her mother is a piece of work and i have nothing good to say about her. I think her dad really did love and care for her, but I wish he would have fought a little more to see her or even have custody. I hate that she had to keep every little good thing that happened to her bottled up and somewhere safe she she would never forget those moments, because they were few and far between.

I kept hoping that Veloura’s school life would help, but the fact that her and her selfish mother moved so many times, it was hard for her to form lasting friendships. The terrible things she goes through in school at the hands of her classmates, and the fact that she still comes out as a smart, yet naive young woman, surprises me and makes me happy. This shows she can continue living the life she wants and she can find happiness no matter what crappy circumstances she was dealt.

Great book and I would definitely recommend reading both this book and The Woman America Loves A Latte.

A great read about money. Paul thinks he has landed the girl of his dreams when he marries Marla. But she is only interested in his money. When he quite a job at a candle factory to become a country music star, he hopes it will bring happiness and love back to their marriage. But all it does is cause further arguments from Marla. Will this save their marriage or make them drift apart?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Paul trying to follow his dream while still being a good father or Veloura as a sweet little kid but also wise. The only issue I would raise is that I felt Marla was too unfeeling and complained too much to be likeable as a character. A good use of a prequel to show how Veloura grew up into the person she is in the first novel.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the candle factory and it’s sights and smells and sounds so vivid as if you were actually there. Or the park where he writes the song with the green grass and the birds and the squirrell for a sense of peace and quiet.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names as chapter titles. I also liked the use of dates and times to show how time progressed and things changed between the characters. I also liked the use of letters in the novel excellent way of showing characters thoughts and feelings and also the feeling of miscommunication. Also loved the sense of foreboding throughout the novel that things may not work out well for the family, given what we know from the first novel which was wonderfully written Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Little Miss Eyes of Blue was a good four star read and the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte. We go back to Vee’s childhood to learn about where she came from and what she dealt with growing up.

My emotions were all over the place. We get a glimpse into how Vee’s parents met and fell in love. And what happened that caused things to fall apart for them. We continue to move forward as Vee grows up, seeing some heart wrenching things happen to her. All I can say is her parents were terrible and only thought about themselves.

There is so much more to this story. Overall I liked this story, it gave me a glimpse into why Vee is the way she is today. Holly does a great job of keeping you aware of what time frame and characters are in each chapter, the detail is great as well. However, the ending has left me with some questions that I hope we see in one of the next books. 1-click and get started today.

Little Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord was an okay read that ket my attention, but was a little hard to get in though, not the story, just some of the elements.

This book is a prequel to “The Woman America Loves a Latte”, and it tells the tale of the life Veloura was subjected to as a child, and what her parents were like before and after they married and had her. I can say, some people shouldn’t have kids. Veloura parents are not worth the air they breath. This book broke my heart for Veloura, and what mades it all the more depressing is that her little girls like her, are, and have, lived the life she has.

Overall this book will pull to your heart strings, and will keep you reading. So please take my high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will feel many things, and become a fan of this unique author.

Happy Reading

Little Miss Eyes of Blue is the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte and it does a great job of diving it on Vee’s past. It paints a vivid picture that tweaks the heart and answers some questions about why she is how she is. At times this story is both heartbreaking and bold, which is exactly how I feel about Vee as well. This author has a talent of making the characters feel so real so easily and I love that. If you want a good book that is basically a character study then this is for you. Just be warned that it may change how you see the world around you.

  • This is a must read it was really engaging and beautifully written story, even how it goes back and forwards in time it’s still easy to keep on track what’s happening. It had amazing character’s who you really grow to love as you read on. I was lost in the storyline completely caught up in the page’s but i find there’s nothing better then picking a novel up which you can just lose yourself in the words it takes you away from reality even if it’s just for abit. I loved every second and i can’t wait to read more from this author

Little Miss eyes of blue is the prequel to The Woman America loves a Latte. It is another great book by Holly Tierney Bedord.
I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It could be read as a standalone, but it is good to read after The Woman America Loves…to help us understand the character of Veloura and how she came to be the way she was. I was really fond of her, and found myself willing her to get herself out of the situations she was in. While the pace was great throughout, I thought the final part of the book wrapped up a little too quickly. I would have liked to know how she got from the end of High School to finding herself in a soup kitchen and meeting Thunder. Overall, a fab addition to Veloura’s story.

This book was emotionally hard to read. At several points in time I had to point the book down to collect myself and come back to it.
I broke down for Veloura. This story of her’s, makes me want to cry. What starts off as a sweet love story where her parent’s fall in love just spirals downhill and never comes back up. Eventually she is in a broken home with two parents who are barely together enough to be able to care for themselves, let alone a young child. Veloura’s care and wellbeing is often neglected and/or overlooked. There is a revolving door of terrible men in and out of her mother’s apartment and then to cap off one partially terrible week, they go hunting for her father, and that ends horribly.
In the end, Veloura is left alone. You will have to read the book for the specifics of what happens, but my heart broke for this girl and I wept for her.
This book was very hard for me to read and I stopped and started it many times. While not my normal genre of books, I did enjoy it. I was pushed outside of my comfort zone and I do not regret it.

Wow! I couldn’t imagine living a life so chaotic. To always be on the move. Marla is a terrible parent she didn’t do her best to care for her child. Veloura had so much stacked against her. I was really sad reading this story and couldn’t stop thinking that this could actually be someone’s life right now. It’s scary and truly sad that parents can’t chose their children over others. The author played us by writing this story this way. I wasn’t expecting hearts and flowers. But I definitely wasn’t expecting so much pain, confusion and betrayal. Being a teen is hard enough. I really couldn’t put the story away because the author wrote it to keep you wanting to know what would happen next. You needed to know how these characters lives would turn out.

So this is kind of confusing but I read The Woman America Loves A Latte before this one as the author obviously intended. It’s confusing because that book was not one of my favorites by this author, who has actually written a few books that sit proudly on my favorites list..After reading this one I can see why she chose to write this one after but in other ways I wish I had read this one first. So Like I said it’s confusing but it is what it is. LOL

I believe I would have enjoyed the other much more had I had this one already read because I simply loved this one and this falls into what I am used to feeling after reading anything by this author.

I’m not going to get into the storyline at all I’m just going to say that I highly recommend these books and anything by this author. I love that she doesn’t follow any patterns and you really never know what your going to get when reading one of her books.

Im truly going to reread the first one again now that I have this one under my belt and I can’t wait, and also can’t wait to see what else she comes up with next!!

Awesome!!

Little Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord is the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte. Veloura’s story is riveting. I did read The Woman America Loves a Latte first, but felt as if this prequel flowed well even after reading after the other story. The story was engaging, thorough and well developed. Veloura’s character certainly has grown through this story and adds additional depth to the character I came to enjoy.

Little Miss Eyes of Blue is the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte by author Holly Tierney-Bedord. I can honestly say that I read “The Woman…Latte” first and I am glad I did because Little Miss Eyes of Blue filled in a lot of the backstory of Veloura’s early life. This was a little tough to read, I felt so bad for Veloura throughout this. You know the saying that some people should not have kids, well Paul and Marla are two fictional characters that should not have had kids.
Even though it was a little hard at times I am glad that I read this book. It truly shows how some people struggle to live their best lives, as Veloura did. While other people take the selfish route and only think of themselves, as Paul and Marla do throughout. Nobody really cared about the child in this book and she’s pretty much on her own from the age of four. That being said I do recommend this story, either before or after reading The Woman America Loves a Latte.

I can’t even begin to properly explain how excited I was to find out that there woul be more of Vee from The Woman America Loves a Latte from Holly Tierney-Bedord. Being that that was my favorite of hers to date, I about squealed when I discovered that this would be a prequel. I will say however that in The Woman America Loves a Latte the bar was set exceptionally high by TIerney-Bedord and so I entered just a tad skeptical that I could possible love this one just as much. Now, just as I enjoyed the first I enjoyed this one. Maybe not to the extent, the first holds a special place in my reader heart, but it actually reached all of my hopes for this being the great novel that I had so hoped that it would be! This novel gives us a more in depth view into what made Vee who she is in The Woman America Loves a Latte. It was sweet and endearing, and covered an array of emotions that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I absolutely can’t wait to see what we will find next from the mind and pen of Holly Tierney-Bedord!

5-stars

Little Miss Eyes Of Blue provide the back story for The Woman America Loves A Latte. It focuses on Veloura’s parents Marla and Paul. I was amazed at how much Marla’s character changed but it shouldn’t have been such a surprise because of her drug use. I kept wishing that Paul would do something and take Veloura away from her but he didn’t. I felt that her parents were very selfish and hated that Veloura had to deal with that type of life growing up. It broke my heart but I could not stop reading. The author really pulled me in with this prequel. Even though Veloura had a terrible home life, I felt she really turned out okay.

The Woman America Loves a Latte was a fun 4 star read.
This is Veloura’s story and I was pulled in right from the beginning.

With a not so great childhood and than a relationship that took a scary turn Veloura (Vee) is trying to move forward. Her best friend Suzie helps her apply for a dream job that would take her on a cross country tour. Going out on the road will also get her away from her angry ex.

But what will happen when her past comes back to haunt her?

There are so many twist and turns. I really liked all of the secondary characters, they all added a a great element to the story. I love stories that have me guessing on who is behind certain things, and this one delivered on that, I was shocked at the twist in the end. The author does a great job with the detail in the story and there are several POV’s in the story as well. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from this author.

The Woman America Loves a Latte by Holly Tierney-Bedord was an engaging, hooking read, that had me flipping the pages.

Not my first read from this author, I was excited to read this book, and boy oh boy I was not disappointed. Engaging, pulling, and multi layered this book had me reading into the night.

This book has a bit of everything, second chances, and picking up the pieces and tendrils of darkness from the MC’s pass, makes this book a compelling, intriguing read. I love the mistaken identity plot set up, it was a lucky break for our MC, that was down on her luck and looking for a way out. Especially after that asshat of a fiancé, pulls that crap he did, good riddens.

Overall this book pulls you in, not only with the easy writing and smooth transitions. It somehow connects with you, and you feel it on an emotional level. The attention to detail pulls this story together and binds all the elements into something masterful. This book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Take a ride with the spokesperson for Caprice Cappuccino, Veloura Merkowerowitz, aka Vienna Merriweather, aka The Woman America Loves a Latte as she travels cross country. In this novel by author Holly Tierney Bedord our leading lady Veloura is on the run from a fiancé who wants her gone, a stalker who wants her hurt and a man who wants her, period.
When I first started this story, I thought to myself, what the heck is going on? But the more I read the more I was drawn in. I felt sorry for Veloura, a girl who couldn’t find her happiness. Abandoned at a young age she longs for family and love and ends up just getting more loneliness. I got a good chuckle over Thunder and Ricky Dwayne and their big “plans” and a little creeped out over Eugene. This was a quick paced story and you can’t help cheering on Veloura until the bitter end.

This story is the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte but can really be read after wards as well. This story is more about Veloura’s parents which in turn gives us more insight into how she becomes the way she is. I would have preferred to read this one first.

The character of Veloura is a very young child throughout most of this story. She faces terrible neglect from her parents due to their lack of communication with each other and their own selfishness. Their actions make understanding Vee so much easier. I can see why at age 20 in the next book she still seemed a little dippy.

Vee’s parents, Marla and Paul are an interesting set of people. Marla’s “problems” could easily be labeled as drug addiction, but that is only the beginning of her problems. While the dad, Paul seems to want a perfect family with no effort from himself.

Tierney-Bedord creates these characters that we can relate to, even hate a little, but ones we can understand. We may even know people like this in real life.

Reading Tierney-Bedord’s books always makes me want to read the next one so there’s no doubt that I will be looking forward to the next one!

The Woman America Loves a Latte is an interesting look into how things are interrelated without our even knowing it. When Vee makes a decision to try to escape her life, we as readers are taken on a journey to watch the effects of that decision and how it affects not only her but those around her.

WOW! I was not sure where this book was heading and boy was I surprised. There is so many twists and drama, I was sucked in and read through the whole book in one sitting. The characters are all wonderful and the story line is fantastic!

Veloura or Vee as her friends call her, is in my opinion, sweetly naive and very young. She is twenty years old and is shacked up with a much older man who is referred to as, Thunder. The way Thunder treats Vee is so disgusting and she doesn’t see until it’s almost too late that he is a terrible person and he has no love for her.

Suzie had me skeptical about her intentions towards Vee. I’m thinking that maybe she was just jealous of Vee, and that is the reason she wanted to keep her far away from her husband Tommy. I do love that she helped Vee land a job as The woman America loves a latte for a coffee company.

When Veloura realizes her husband’s intentions towards her and Suzie set her up with a new job that would take her away from their little town, she jumps at the opportunity. Coming home during an event for her job, she has a near death experience and determines who is actually out to hurt her, and it was the last person she would have expected.

The story reads in different characters perspectives, and I personally like this to see what each character is thinking or going through. The dramatic twist in the end had me reeling and I was shocked at who was really after Veloura. I would definitely recommend this book!!

She escapes her partner and with the help of her friend gets a job which leads her to become a famous spokesperson for a coffee company. Along with the fame and the travelling it also brings with it people who are set on ruining her and taking her life.

The first suspect is the x partner, along with her mothers x partner but the true culprit will surprise you. I was totally surprised and i didnt see it coming.

Its full of highs on her adventures and also lows as you relive her past, the loss of her parents and as she finds a way to live and survive on her own.

The author thankfully has given us a glimpse into the backstory of a beloved character from a previous work in these pages. Veloura (Vee) takes on a journey of her childhood and past and provides us with context for the adult we love from “The Woman America Loves a Latte”. The author kept me guessing which sometimes can be difficult when a prequel is given to the reader following a book. I really enjoyed these pages and found myself reading it in one sitting without realizing it. Very well written and very enjoyable.

I rarely give 5 star reviews and this one was worthy of all five stars. This suspenseful, comedy, romance novel checks all the boxes that you want in a book. Veloura, or Vee, has had a rough go at life. It seems that life is just determined to smack her around and when she is black and blue, it smacks her around some more.
When her fiancés terrible decision making has her looking for greener pastures, she lands (kind of haphazardly) into her dream job. The problem? She has no idea what she is doing. Tierney-Bedford is a master story writer and this book is no exception. The quirky characters, suspenseful plot and drama and comedy has me turning these pages as fast as my little fingers will flick. I highly recommend this book for readers of all genres!

Veloura has always fended for herself since her mom died of an overdose. At almost 21 she finds herself in a small town, in a relationship with a washed up rodeo rider, which is not going anywhere but friend Suzie offers her a lifeline in the form of a rep/ modelling job for Caprice Cappuccino, a well-known coffee brand. She sets off for new adventures in her coffee cup car, and the fun begins.
This is the first book I have read by this author but I really enjoyed it. It was entertaining and the action moved at the right pace. It was a mix of genres, not a romance, more of a road trip and a story of friendship no matter what. I liked the character of Vee although at times I wanted to give her a shake for her life choices. Suzie was a strong character too, although how they ended up friends would be anyone’s guess as they seemed like polar opposites. A prequel is coming so maybe that will explain that part.
