Hayley started a new job at the Busy Bean, a coffee shop in her hometown of Colebury. She’s loving her job and is worried when their coffee sales are tanking. Determined to find out why, she sleuthed around until she found that a dingy diner is selling a fantastic coffee that tastes much better than the one they make at Busy Bean. She dived into their dumpster to find out the origin, found out they buy coffee grounds at Dark Horse Coffee Roasters in a nearby town and went there to get their business.
To her big surprise, she found her older sister’s ex-boyfriend, Daniel Beck, owns this coffee roasting business with his younger brother Sam. Daniel is openly hostile with her, and Hayley is not surprised because his breakup with Jess, her sister, was messy and hurtful.
Eventually Daniel realizes he can’t reject a new business opportunity when they’re starting out, so he goes to the Busy Bean and gets their business. And in so doing, he falls into Hayley’s sphere and realizes she’s the complete opposite of Jess’s crazy and chaotic personality.
“You’re smart, and you’re talented. You’re tenacious as hell. You know how to work hard, and you’re not afraid to go for what you want. And you’re funny, and so, so generous, and really good in bed.”
Hayley had a crush on Daniel when he was going out with Jess. Now that she’s older and he’s back in her life, her crush grows stronger but they have the obstacle of Daniel’s past relation with Jess and Jess’ emotional troubles.
I found the story moved slow at first but caught more speed as it developed and it got very intriguing as Hayley and Daniel got involved and the possible conflict about Jess got more entangled. I found Hayley and Daniel sweet and the story nice, but there were some holes in the story I’d liked to have read about, like the meeting of Jess and Daniel once she learns they’re together. Otherwise, a lovely story, just as the title is, a sweetheart of a book.
