ARC Review: Truly, Madly, Steeply, Brew by J.P. Sterling

Publication Date: January 8, 2025

Truly, Madly, Steeply Brew was both short and sweet! In just over 100 pages, El goes from heartbroken to hopeful again. These characters are true people with full ranges of emotions. There was definitely a possibility for more about them, and I’m glad there’s more of their world in some of J.P. Sterling’s other books!

The setting of Mapleton, Vermont is the perfect place for a wintery love story. This book is tender and sweet, with no spice, making it for a quick and lighthearted read. In many ways this book is as warm as the hot tea that El dishes out to Stallone! 

If you’re looking for the perfect easy read for a cold winter day, this book has you covered! Hopefully the snow won’t get you the way it gets these characters… but if it does, you would be more than prepared with these cozy and happy vibes. 

Thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
