This brand-new novella from beloved New York Times and USA Today bestseller Carolyn Brown has all the sassy fun and Southern charm you love!

  • Authentic small town Texas and a lively cast of characters

Jasmine Thurman is desperate. If someone doesn't answer her "Help Wanted" sign soon, her struggling café in the heart of Texas won't be open much longer. But when a handsome traveler pops in for a country-fried steak, Jasmine's luck begins to turn around. Hiring Flint Walker is the answer Jasmine has been looking for, and if her business can have a second chance, then maybe her love life can too.

    So great! So great! Smooth realistic masterfully written smile-filled, enjoyable warm escape that moves at a perfect pace (from start to finish). Perfect length, finished just right. Happy, friendly folks with no violence/intrigue nor suspense. Real life has enough, thank you very much. (Still smiling at 'thwock biscuits' and probably will every time I make them.) I love Carolyn Brown's unique voice/characterizations I am so grateful for her ability to amazingly & prolifically author unique releases. A genius storyteller. Escapism at it's best! 5 Stars (tech-stars not working)

    5.0 out of 5 stars A feel good and sassy read.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is just what the title says, a sassy southern romance. And no one does them better than Carolyn Brown.
    When Flint Walker is making his way to a new life, he never could have realized what could happen to him when a dog is sitting in the middle of the road and he sees a woman, Jasmine come out of her business, where a "helped wanted" sign is in the window that it would change is life forever. Jasmine could not believe her eyes when the cowboy got out of his truck and asked her if she made the best Chicken fried in Texas, if this cowboy could be a dream come true. He takes the job and her heart and puts her on a path she never saw in her future.

    I love that Carolyn Brown's style of writing never changes and the characters that she writes are people you know you could sit down at the table with and have a glass of sweet tea and natter and become best friends with. They are quirky and lovable and I always feel good when I finish one of her books and I can't wait to get my hands on more.
    This book is a quick read that leaves a lot of lasting feel-good moments.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fate Brings a Rancher and a Cook to Love at First Sight over the Chicken Fried Steak
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Love Struck Café is a standalone, but it’s connected to the Spikes and Spurs series particularly the heroine in book two of that series. A Valentine holiday time frame for a low-angst, sweet love at first sight romance.

    Flint Walker is lighting a shuck north away from the bitter memories of having to sell the family ranch when fate brings him to a screeching halt in sleepy Ringgold, TX at a diner with fab food and a help wanted sign in the window. Flint is taken with pretty cook-owner, Jasmine Thurman, and takes the advice of some old local ranchers to stick around a few days to check out a local sale property and take Jasmine up on her offer of room and board if he helps her out until her cousin and staff arrive to take over the Chicken Fried diner.

    Jasmine was desperate and took in a handsome stranger who plans to move on. Three days later, she’s fighting her heart and her dreams that Flint will put down stakes and not go looking for a ranch to own up north.

    This was love at first sight, but this pair took their time as friends, working partners, and then addressed the elephant in the room. Both were scared to believe in what seemed too good to be true and the way fate lined things up. A swoony country-fried romance that left me hungry for Jasmine’s cooking and envious for one of Flint’s fiery kisses.

    The earthy, every day romance and characters was heartily appealing and draws me in each and every time to Carolyn Brown’s writing. Small Town Romance fans who like it sweet and sassy should give this one a go.

    It’s been awhile since I’ve read a story from Carolyn Brown. I’m so happy I took the time to look this story up on Amazon, to read on my Kindle Ap. Mostly I have read Ms Brown’s stories in paperback form. This story is full of quick love and a small town atmosphere. I loved it!😍

    A fun, quick read!

    Flint Walker is traveling somewhere north to buy a ranch, settle down, and start his life over. When he sees a sign for the best chicken fried steak in Texas, he’s intrigued. He swerves to avoid hitting a dog sitting in the middle of the road and comes close to hitting a building, which just happens to be where the best chicken fried steak was advertised to be. He meets Jasmine Thurman, a café owner, and a few of the local residents. When they hear his story, they tell him about a ranch nearby. He’s not really interested since he’s had his heart set on moving north. He decides to extend his stay for a week and help Jasmine in the café. The more he hears about the ranch, the more time he spends with Jasmine has him rethinking his plans.

    The book is not asking as Carolyn Browns other books but she kept you interested through the whole story. Just wish she got Sam interested one of the women moving to help with the cafe. That would help make it even more promising that even Sam found someone as special.

    I chose the five star rating because it kept my attention throughout the weekend. I would love to see this sweet romance as a TV rom-com. The main characters were endearing and relatable. The humor was on point! U love the community, and the simple details of each place made it easy to picture every component of the story.
