BLURB:
She’s the boss.
She’s the boss.
I’m only a barista in her company.I really don’t give a f**k about her one way or the other.
And then there’s Doug Maddox, a man with a lot of power over me. He’s blackmailing me. Making me spy on her. I’m supposed to find her weaknesses and destroy her. But the closer I get, the more the lines between us start to blur.
She’s sweet. She’s kind. She’s sexy as hell.
Why am I the only man who see’s this?
So now I’m stuck—between keeping my sister safe against Doug, because that’s what’s really at stake here, and these feelings I can’t deny for a woman who shouldn’t mean anything to me.
I know what I have to do. I’ll destroy her.
It doesn’t matter if I have to destroy my own heart in the process.

REVIEW:
I'm torn with But First, Coffee. There were time in the book that I couldn't get a true feel of the characters and I lost interest. I'm not sure if it was the attitude of Joe or how I felt more interested in getting to know Doug more. What does he want and why does he seems mean but then you are made to feel sorry for him.
Lana the owner and barely comes in the coffee shop but after hearing about Joe decides to change that and make appearances. She seems to move things quickly with Joe and his non experience in a lot of things leave her motives questionable. I couldn't get a read on her and that left me wanting more and getting to know more about her. What does she want, why did she open up so quickly with Joe and is this someone who can grow to be more.
I wanted to love Joe more but I was a little sad for him. He carried all the things that was done to him in an unusual way and brought the different things out at time that didn't warrant nor need them. My heart broke for him with all the things he went through from the rape. Clearly there are things that he is holding onto and it has shaped him into the person he is.
I would have like to see the characters grow a little more and also get to know them better or things about them.
