Lana Bitterman started Java Beans in her father’s backyard and has grown it into a coffee empire. She was looking to expand and knew that her best employee, Joe Coffee, would be a good fit for the job considering his background. However, Joe was being blackmailed by Doug, an old college “friend” of Lana’s. Joe definitely didn’t expect to fall for Lana, but the deeper he got the harder it was for him to follow Doug’s orders and destroy her and everything she has in order to protect his sister, Kitty.

I loved seeing a female as the CEO in an office romance, it was a nice role reversal and still fit the story. Lana is a strong female who knew what she wanted in life and thought about every situation. Joe is a young, confident man who will do anything to protect his family. The two of them together is like the perfect copy of coffee.
I did find myself getting a little lost at times with some of the Doug story line. I felt like there was some suspense and some build up that just seemed to fizzle out and left some unanswered questions. Hopefully, we will get some more answers and background in book two.

I dd find the book to be entertaining and a fun, easy read.
