.... The Blurb ...
Gwen:
I was stripped of all my own desires and wants when I was married to my ex-husband. I now carry a list with me—a list that will help me choose a man that will put me first in life. Then the storm cloud of an entitled millionaire appears in my life and knocks me off my axis. This man sends so many mixed signals, my body either quakes with anger or passion when I’m around him.
I'm his son's teacher and his tenant, but I find myself wanting more.
Leo:
My life is run with precision with little regard for others until a woman in crazy clothes challenges me to be a better father. She’s one of the few people that puts me in my place and maybe for this very reason—I want her more than I can articulate. With her failed marriage and list of requests she needs from her next partner, I know she’s my future. My life is less than perfect, and with it—baggage that follows me everywhere. Does she want my kind of crazy in her life?
I'm her landlord and an a**hole, but I find myself wanting more.
Where to begin? For starters, you must love coffee...
After all, 425 Madison Avenue is the perfect place to fall in love.
Each story is a complete standalone.

In Short
- A sweet romance which follows to heart broken characters.
- A great book to sit and relax with.

In Long
Must Love Coffee is a sweet, heart warming story which follows two characters that are both going through their own issues.
The chemistry and quirkiness between the two main characters really added to the story but, personally, I like a few more fireworks and felt there was some missed opportunities. That said Leo was totally swoon worthy and just what Gwen needs. Gwen is a bit more reserved though and Leo has a battle on his hands.
The story line was slow paced and a few things which did arise weren't built up to what they could have been. Especially a chapter with Gwen's daughter that I felt could have been a lot more intense and built up.
One of the characters goes through quite a big change of heart early on the book. I found this quite unrealistic and a missed chance for the reader to go through a journey with this character, it was very sudden, too sudden for me without the needed development. For me, how they went from stone hearted to gentle hearted person was too sudden and it wasn't until much later when their story and heart break was revealed it was clearer why they acted how they did. It felt like a missed opportunity which could have been a good journey for that character.
Final Thoughts
Must Love Coffee is a great book to sit and relax with, it doesn't offer much in the way in suspense or gripping scenes but makes for a perfect chill out book which everyone needs at some point.
