Synopsis:~
Everything is going perfectly for Maya Davis. She's got a great job at a coffee shop, loving parents, and is happily single---until her best friend unknowingly starts dating Maya's high school sweetheart! Who knew she was still interested in him?
A delightful faith-based retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
My take:~
Cool Beans is vintage Erynn Mangum! If you loved the Lauren Holbrook series, you will be entranced with Maya Davis ~ expert barista, faithful friend and devoted dog owner. With witty and energetic prose, Erynn taps into the mind of a twenty something searching for her place in life while contending with an overachieving big brother, a former flame with an exceedingly short memory and Calvin, her Pilates obsessed beagle.
Peppered with references to Jane Austen and contemporary chick flicks, Cool Beans holds magnetic appeal for all ages and guarantees you will laugh, cry and sigh with heartfelt delight.
Blending brilliant characterisation with an infusion of spiritual truth and a shot of romance, Cool Beans is an experience to savour and will leave you with a little caffeine buzz all of its own!
With thanks to NavPress for my review copy

Great review. I can't wait to read this. I really enjoyed the Lauren Holbrook series, especially Miss Match.
This sounds great. I've always been curious about those other books. I cannot seem to find Double Shot on goodreads or Amazon though...
