Must Love Coffe by Leigh Lennon
Gwen
I was stripped of all my own desires and wants when I was married to my ex-husband. I now carry a list with me—a list that will help me choose a man that will put me first in life. Then the storm cloud of an entitled millionaire appears in my life and knocks me off my axis. This man sends so many mixed signals, my body either quakes with anger or passion when I’m around him.
I'm his son's teacher and his tenant, but I find myself wanting more.
Leo
My life is run with precision with little regard for others until a woman in crazy clothes challenges me to be a better father. She’s one of the few people that puts me in my place and maybe for this very reason—I want her more than I can articulate. With her failed marriage and list of requests she needs from her next partner, I know she’s my future. My life is less than perfect, and with it—baggage that follows me everywhere. Does she want my kind of crazy in her life?
I'm her landlord and an a**hole, but I find myself wanting more.
Where to begin? For starters, you must love coffee...
After all, 425 Madison Avenue is the perfect place to fall in love.
*Each story is completely standalone.

Welcome to 425 Madison Avenue, where anything can happen.
Must Love Coffee is such a cute, feel good story! I love every minute of it!
Gwen is a teacher who's struggling to be herself again and trying to find love after her ex husband from hell. She's a total fan girl at heart and the best mom.
Leo is trying to get thrpugh life invested in his job. He barealy has time for his family.
I love that these two were so much more than the first impresions you get from them (hint: check the excerpt below!). Gwen is actually such a strong character, she's caring and loving but she's also really fun and totally not what you expect from your sweet school teacher. I was pleasently surprise by her. Leo first comes off as a total Alpha guy and he really isn't. He's super sweet. He loves his kids so much and he tries to give everything to Gwen.
This book was a total feel-good romance. Gwen and Leo hit it off right from the begging and I really loved how the story is not just about them, their kids, all three of them get a bit of a spotlight and help the story move forward. Even the judge was a great adition to the story.
My favourite part was probably how the book moved and and how the drama was handle. You know that part of the book were the main couple breaks up over something and they are miserable and super stuborn about it, and you just feel like yelling and knocking some sense into them? Well this isn't the case! Everything felt so natural and realistic I loved every word.
I can't wait to see more about what happens to the good people of 425 Madison and get glimpses of Gwen, Leo and the kids.

Excerpt
Gwen:
Leo stands with so much force it pushes his chair over, bumping the table and knocking some of Teague’s test results to the floor.
“Mason, this teacher is clearly incompetent and I want her replaced—no, fuck that—I want her fired.”
I don’t give Mason much time to reply. I stand just as fast and, though he has a good six inches on me, I’m in his face.
“Okay, Mr. Eastman, you want me fired so badly, answer me this. How much time do you spend with Teague each day on his homework? I’ve sent home small readers with questions to be answered each day, even if you have to write the responses for him. I’ve never gotten a completed form in return.” As I speak, the harsh teacher tone takes over and demands his attention. I don’t miss how his hands curl into fists when I continue. “I’ve sent him home with a phonetical set of flash cards and a completion sheet. After ten times, he gets a reward. I have yet to receive that back. The same goes for number recognition. So, you tell me I’m not doing my job. But, since turnabout is fair play, how are you doing on your end? It takes a village, Mr. Eastman. Let me know when you move in and we can talk.”
Leo:
How is it that a man who has access to countless hot women wakes on the morning of his kid’s playdate like it’s fucking Christmas? And with a jolly ripe boner at the thought of his son’s teacher. Yeah, this guy here. I’m not ashamed of it but is it appropriate to ask this woman out while we are essentially chaperoning our daughters? See, I haven’t always been a manwhore. With Dez, I was the most committed father and husband—I only had eyes for her. And maybe these new feelings make it obvious I’m ready to start over again.
With the first glance at my phone, I’m accosted with a shit-ton of texts from Donna. She invited me over last night but I’d told her I was taking my kids to the movies. This crazy, bleached-blonde tried to invite herself with us to see Venom. She had no idea it was a Marvel movie, in addition to being oblivious to the fact that I’d never let her get within arm’s reach of my kids. A good fuck she’s been but that’s all she ever could be. And now, after imagining the teacher as a person I want more than sex with, I’m on the offensive with today’s playdate. But don’t fucking get me wrong—I sure as fuck want to fill her up—but I want more than that. I can’t fucking believe that I, Leo Eastman, am admitting to this.
Shit, shit, shit. But it’s true.
