*WE TRY TO UPDATE EVERY MONDAY, THURSDAY, AND OCCASIONALLY TUESDAY*
Kayce "Kay" Sheridan lives a quiet, comfortable life in a New York City apartment. She works at a bookstore and updates her blog in her free time. Dying her hair pink is probably the most daring thing she's ever done, and she prefers to curl up with a good book than to go out partying.
Bianca Forrest is an avid reader, adventurer, and artist. She takes every opportunity to travel out of NYC and loves to sing and doodle all over her hands.
When Bianca is hired at Kay's bookstore, the two immediately become friends. Bianca tries to convince Kay to immerse herself in the world and have more adventures. Kay isn't sure she's ready to leave her cozy apartment, and struggles to decide if she should begin taking more chances or resign herself to a simplistic comfort zone.

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

In The Spotlight | ✔️
❝ If she doesn't scare the life out of you a little, she isn't the one. ❞ Mckayla Silva has had enough. Enough of her stupid job, as news broadcaster. She was pretty sure that nobody else apart that her would tolerate reading reports on a dog's love life and flirtations. Like come on. Seriously? Add on top of that, an obnoxious manager that's hated her from first sight and finds it absolutely hilarious to name her after a burger. Oh, and don't forget the nerd's overly clingy family that absolutely destroyed her university life, and crushed any chance of independence. Just perfect. So when an argument in a makeup shop leads to a sudden job offer of a music video director in the Hollywood world, Mckayla feels like this is her breakthrough moment. What she does not expect is a flashy fashionista that thinks he owns the set, an stunning yet arrogant model who doesn't miss an single opportunity to dig at her and certainly not a playboy singer, who seems to have made it his mission to mess this opportunity up for her. Determined not to let this happen, Mckayla sets off on her journey up the ladder, only to find an annoying hindrance called love in the form of River Romano, bent upon knocking her down. •-xXx-• | Best chick-lit/romance | Aluris Awards 2018 | | Best chick-lit | Pastel Awards 2018/2019 | #5 hotmess 18/05/18 #70 in romcom 25/05/18 •-xXx-• In the Spotlight KiwiAndKoalas All rights reserved ©Complete
Americano For My Archnemesis
[Slow Brew Series 2 of 2] [Completed] Bea's dream was always to open a cozy, charming little book cafe. My dream-me, Jules, it's my story now, bitches-was to avoid unnecessary stress, talking about my own feelings, and James Hale. So naturally, the universe decided to shove all three onto my lap. Now I'm thrust into managing Beaumont's Books & Brews-aka Bea's pride and joy (aka the haunted mess of a coffee shop we're scrubbing, gutting, and dragging into existence from the afterlife). Which would be great... if she didn't have to share the title of "co-owner" with a walking migraine in designer loafers. James Hale. My archnemesis. My best friend's boyfriend's brother. Also, somehow, my boss. We made out once. It was a mistake. A moment of weakness. A tragedy for the history books. And now he's here. Every day. Breathing my air, drinking sugary, over-creamed monstrosities he dares to call coffee, and always-always smirking at me. I take my coffee black. No syrup. No foam art. No pulling out emotional baggage mid-espresso. The way coffee should be. Just pure, tasteful pleasure-with a bitter finish. Welcome to Beaumont's. May the odds be ever in my favor.
