Praise for Carla Laureano

The Solid Grounds Coffee Company

“What a bright and engaging story! The Solid Grounds Coffee Company is full of snappy and smart dialogue, genuine characters I was rooting for, and sweet romance with just the right amount of tension. I loved getting to know Analyn and Bryan and seeing their two very different worlds dovetail into one layered, romantic, and delicious story.”

LAUREN K. DENTON, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HIDEAWAY, HURRICANE SEASON, AND GLORY ROAD

“Carla Laureano is at the top of her game with The Solid Grounds Coffee Company. I was invested in Bryan and Ana’s journey from the opening pages and had fun catching up with characters from Laureano’s previous books. I enjoyed watching Bryan set out to turn his life around . . . and of course, I loved the delicious romance! (And, yes, now I’m craving a latte!) Another winner from an author who belongs on your keeper shelf.”
