The Solid Grounds Coffee Company by Carla LaureanoMy rating: 💛💛💛
Rating 3.5
As someone with a bit of an obsession with coffee, I enjoyed the detail this book entailed about the process to get the beans from the farms to the baristas and the detail process to roast the perfect bean.
Now, if you do not appreciate a good cup of coffee, all these details might be too much for you. However, the plot is still filled with characters with flaws, who are trying to make better choices and a second chance at happiness.
I enjoyed the close friendship in the series between the three friends. They were supportive, teasing but also honesty when it was needed.
The series was about characters who made mistakes in the past, reconnected with God and focused on doing better and live in the will of God. I always appreciate it when we get some messy characters, since everyone has flaws, made mistakes and has some regrets.

About the book:
Analyn Sanchez can handle the long hours and arrogant clients that come with her job as a crisis management associate at Denver's largest publicity firm. The high-powered job, expensive condo, and designer wardrobe are all part of her plan to prove to her family that her life choices haven't been in vain. But when she's asked to cover up a client's misdeeds with serious moral and legal ramifications, she can no longer sacrifice her conscience for her career . . . and the cost is no less than her job.
Ever since a devastating climbing accident in South America eight months ago, and a bad decision that dried up his sponsorships, professional rock climber Bryan Shaw has found himself at similar loose ends. When the opportunity to buy a coffee farm in Colombia arises, he jumps on it--only to discover his wandering ways have left him utterly unprepared to run a business.
When Bryan returns home and offers Ana a role in his company as a solution to both their problems, she's desperate enough to consider working with the far-too-flippant and far-too-handsome climber, even though he's the polar opposite of her type A nature. As they delve deeper into the business, however, she begins to suspect there's much more to Bryan than she's given him credit for . . . and that sometimes the best plans are the ones you never see coming.
