A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A great read about coffee. Kat has loved coffee since she was little. When she leaves home for a new job, she is nervous at first. Whilst finding her feet in a new town, Kat discovers an antique coffee shop full of new blends and flavours that consume her heart. Her love for the shop increases with Dan, an owner who is handsome and kind. The coffee sparks something romantic between them But when she overhears a private conversation, should she risk her heart?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldnt put down. Well developed characters like Dan making his passion into his business or Kat standing up for herself but kind underneath. great cast of supporting characters like her Dad as a sweet father figure of Spencer as a good friend.
i loved the visual detail of the coffee shop as something traditional and homely with the fireplace and cat. also with the sofas as a comforting space to Kat and the reader. ci also loved the sense of a small community within the shop with everyone knowing eachother and the regulars as good friends was a lovely touch. the passion for coffee with Kat was a lovely touch for a sense of exploration and wonder that was enjoyable to read . And the detail including the smells and tastes of flavours that even captivated the reader was perfectly written. I also loved the mystery with Brian that added comedy to the novel to make it a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.
