ARC REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fans of the Coffee Loft Series rejoice! The multi-author series is back once again. This time they have teamed up to give readers a winter collection centering around the Mountain Brew.

J. P. Sterling’s Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew kicks off the series. It follows the insta love story of Arielle (El) and Stallone. When the two meet, they are still healing from their past relationships. Despite love being the last thing on their mind, they can’t help but fall for one another. Will the timing be too much to overcome, or will it prove that love can survive anything.

This is such a cute and cozy read. The quick pacing and comedic aspects had me flying through the story. I highly recommend this standalone, sweet romcom for those looking to squeeze in a last minute winter read.

This book also features:
-the small town of Mapleton, Virginia
- insta love
-14 year age gap
-flirty banter
-lots of karaoke

Special thanks to Netgalley, Victoria Editing, and J. P. Sterling for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

When I saw the cover of the book, I knew I had to read this. It has coffee , books and snow.
I enjoyed reading this book so much. It had such a fun plotline. I really could relate to it a lot. My husband and I have an age difference and he had a big beard when I met him, so I felt like it was relatable. I liked that about it.
It was nice to have a sweet story that even my teen daughter could read.
I would give this book a 10 out of 10. It was such a fun read. I love that I was able to sit down and escape into reading.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really fun book. I enjoyed it a lot!

Sweet insta-love story with two main characters who have had a hard time until now. Short story, so not a ton of time for build up and tension. Lucky the dog is the sweetest

I love this book if you are looking for a closed door age gap relationship book then this is for you! The banter was very fun! Would highly recommend this book
!

This was my first book by J.P. Sterling and I was unaware that it was part of a series. I will definitely be reading those books next. This was a delightful and heartwarming story! It had several laugh-out-loud moments and featured two main characters who have been hurt in the past and aren’t actively seeking romance. Yet, love finds them unexpectedly, and their connection develops quickly. I found their banter charming, and I appreciated how they openly expressed their feelings while also acknowledging the uncertainty of El’s future plans—an encouraging sign of healthy communication. This age-gap, insta-love romance was completely clean, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Such a fun and sweet love story! Had a few lol moments and the characters come together who’ve been wronged in the past not looking for anything serious but then they find themselves falling for one another pretty quickly. This age-gap insta-love story was swoon-worthy and clean. Definitely recommend I enjoyed it!

This was the sweetest, cutest, romcom! This was a short, quick read while still having a good backstory on the main characters. This was about Arielle who is getting over a breakup and decides to travel with her brother while he closes the deal on a new coffee shop location. As she is getting to know the town and people, one guy catches her eye, Stallone. So when her and her brother get snowed in and they can't get back home, she offers to help with the coffee shop, and realizes she finally feels happy for the first time in a while. And a good bit of that new found happiness is thanks to a particular flannel wearing customer who told her he isn't looking for a relationship, but he just keeps coming back to see her. This was a story about giving love another chance after heartbreak. It was such a cute and fun read! I really enjoyed it! 🩵📚

Thank you to the author and to the publisher for this ARC of Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew, in exchange for an honest review.

I'm typically a spice girly but the blurb for this book just connected with me so much I had to request it! I absolutely loved this story, if you’re looking for a sweet cozy read, you’ve found it! The plot, the characters, the connections - perfection!!

This is my first read from J.P. Sterling and it didn’t disappoint - I can’t wait to read more! Thank you so much for the arc copy.

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew by J.P. Sterling is a delightful rom-com that brews up the perfect mix of charm, humor, and a dash of romance. After a painful breakup, the protagonist retreats to Mapleton, Vermont, to help her brother launch a coffee shop. There, she meets the burly, bearded, and irresistibly charming Stallone, who quickly becomes the distraction she didn’t know she needed. While she’s not looking for love, the sizzling chemistry between them might just change her mind. With witty dialogue and an easy-going vibe, this lighthearted story will warm your heart, making it the perfect read for fans of sweet romances and strong, compelling leads.

Thank you Net Galley for the review of Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew. It was a very cute quick read! The karaoke competition made me laugh out loud. Arielle started off a bit rocky in character but I quickly grew to enjoy her. Stallone was intriguing and knew he liked Arielle the moment he met her. If you want a quick read and laugh, then this is your book!

This was just a lovely read. It starts with heartbreak, well, a possible heartbreak and then goes straight on to fresh mountain air. The snow and the landscape is well described, Stallone’s gorgeous dog Lucky perks up all the scenes that he is in and almost become a character in his own right. The romance blossoms over the time Stallone and Arielle are together and this is well told. It might be a short period of time but the emotions aren’t forgotten and the excitement, combined with the nervousness of both Stallone and Arielle is so worth ready. A real toe curler if a cute romance.

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew by J. Sterling, published by Victoria Editing Netgalley Co-op, is part of The Coffe Loft Series: Mountain Brew Collection.
An insta love, age gap, bearded guy vs barista story that has everything I love in a great story.

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew was both short and sweet! In just over 100 pages, El goes from heartbroken to hopeful again. These characters are true people with full ranges of emotions. There was definitely a possibility for more about them, and I’m glad there’s more of their world in some of J.P. Sterling’s other books!

The setting of Mapleton, Vermont is the perfect place for a wintery love story. This book is tender and sweet, with no spice, making it for a quick and lighthearted read. In many ways this book is as warm as the hot tea that El dishes out to Stallone!

If you’re looking for the perfect easy read for a cold winter day, this book has you covered! Hopefully the snow won’t get you the way it gets these characters… but if it does, you would be more than prepared with these cozy and happy vibes.

Thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Truly , Madly, Steeply Brew is a sweet, short romance. I had fun getting to know the characters, though I wish the story had been a bit longer so we could learn even more about them! I loved the coffee theme woven throughout the book.

4 stars

This was such a sweet novella. The story follows Arielle and Stallone, both heartbroken by their past relationship and both setting their minds on not getting into any relationship only to have one (un)fortunate snow storm to change that.

I loved Stallone's humor throughout the book which made me chuckle more times than once.

"I like my coffee so strong my ancestors can taste it."

I really enjoyed El and Stallone's interactions, I loved how she made him come out of his shell and the whole karaoke ordeal was just hilarious. I only wished the story was longer.

If I win," I lower my voice into a low rasp, "I get to kiss you like you're my girlfriend."

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew by J.P. Sterling is a cute age gap, insta-love novella.
This sweet story makes you feel so cozy, and warm.
I adored the characters.
These characters were brought to life and the author’s writing and descriptions of the characters and scenery were really well written.

I enjoyed reading Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew by J.P. Sterling. You will fall in love with all the characters. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely. Happy Reading!
