Re: Cleo Coyle | Billionaires Can Be Murder (with Recipes)

Loved the excerpt for "Billionaire Blend" and you get recipes with the book,too. Can't beat that. Wrote to Santa and told him I wanted an ebook of "Billionaire Blend." Merry Christmas!!

There is nothing like a good cup of coffee, with a sweet treat to have while reading a good book....Billionaire Blend sounds just about right. Thank you
(C Culp 6:02am December 3, 2013)

Cleo - your series is at the top of my list of favorites. The last two years your new
release has come out either on my birthday or the day before. It's a great
birthday treat for me. I can't wait for the new book to arrive. Billionaire Blend
will be my first holiday read for this year. As crazy as my schedule is, it really is a
gift to myself to sit down with Clare and her friends.
(Beverly Archer 7:26am December 3, 2013)

This si one of my favorite series.
(Sandy Giden 7:28am December 3, 2013)

Every time I read another blurb about one of your books, I fall more in love with you!! The only thing I need to do is find the time to sit down and actually read your book!! The recipes in your book sound really yummy, as do your lime cookies. Knowing that you can freeze the lime ones, are an added plus!! My New Year's resolution will have to be to read your book, along with a couple that I may have missed!! Have a wonderful Christmas, and all the best in the coming year!!
(Peggy Roberson 8:23am December 3, 2013)

Thanks for the post and giveaway. Looking forward to the newest book!
(G S Moch 8:41am December 3, 2013)

I can't wait. I love all of your recipes I have tried. I love
your series.
(Sue Foster 8:43am December 3, 2013)

I love recipes, suspense and great chemistry. I think this book has it all and
I would love to read it.
(Melanie Backus 10:25am December 3, 2013)

Lucky 13! Sounds awesome!
(Jaime Geraldi 11:07am December 3, 2013)

The recipes have my mouth watering. Can't wait to read the book.
(Pam Howell 11:19am December 3, 2013)

I enjoyed A Brew to Kill, so excited to read this one.
(Barbara Wells 11:31am December 3, 2013)

I am a fan of your books and enjoy the recipes you include.
(G. Bisbjerg 11:38am December 3, 2013)

I think I put on pounds just reading your posts. I must buy
the book for those recipes---and a good mystery, too.
(Sue Farrell 1:44pm December 3, 2013)

Just me (Cleo Coyle) dropping in to say thank you to
everyone for the kind comments. I'm excited about this new
entry in my series, and I'm so happy to see longtime readers
chiming in.

If you're new to the series, welcome! I hope you enjoy the
books, the recipes, and the Coffeehouse community we have
online. At my website - www.CoffeehouseMystery.com, you will
find many more recipes, fun video links, a reader message
board, a coffee giveaway every week, and a periodic
newsletter. I hope you'll join us!

Good luck in my drawing, everyone. The contest will remain
open all week. Like the Terminator, I'll be back... :)
(Cleo Coyle 1:48pm December 3, 2013)

Yay, it's here, it's here! :) Christmas, NYC, a cuppa and Claire Cosi :)
(Maureen Machado 2:19pm December 3, 2013)

Eek! I mean Clare, of course. :lol:
(Maureen Machado 2:20pm December 3, 2013)

Love that you have recipes in the book!
(Michelle Schafer 2:45pm December 3, 2013)

I love it when authors intersperse recipes with a novel.
(Susan Coster 3:52pm December 3, 2013)

The first chapter has certainly whetted my appetite. I must read this book (and catch up on the earlier ones, too). The recipes will be an added bonus! The Pumpkin Spice Muffins would go really well with a good 'cuppa joe'. And that Skillet Lasagna looked awfully good in the pic on Mystery Lovers' Kitchen page.
(Donna Durnell 4:31pm December 3, 2013)

Fantastic coffee, fantastic recipes, and most important - fantastic books! Thank you so much for all 3.
(Karen Barnett 4:33pm December 3, 2013)

Loved the excerpt! Want the recipe! gotta get this book, and I
love Laughing Man Kenya!
(Michelle Kobus 5:01pm December 3, 2013)

Love your coffee books--these bars remind me of the yummy Ninamo Bars
that I had in Alaska and Canada!! Thanks for all your treats!!
(Ronna Lord 5:19pm December 3, 2013)

I'm so excited that you have so many great recipes in your new book, and that you're giving us many other good ones too! I love recipes and have two recipe boxes and quite a large cookbook collection. I love baking and cooking since I was a young girl. I really want this book.
(Linda Luinstra 5:24pm December 3, 2013)

I would love to get hold of those recipes and, of course, read
the book. It sounds terrific. The coffee would be a great
bonus.
(Linda Kish 5:55pm December 3, 2013)

You had me before the recipes. One reason I like this site is
because I find new authors for me to read.
(Leona Olson 6:02pm December 3, 2013)

I've been following your Coffeehouse Mystery series for some time now. Looking forward to BILLIONAIRE BLEND! Thanks for the recipes ....
(Christine LaRue 6:05pm December 3, 2013)

It looks like an exciting story.
(Maureen Emmons 6:29pm December 3, 2013)

Love the Coffeehouse Mysteries!! Looking forward to this one :)
(Penny Mettert 6:34pm December 3, 2013)

I love a book that includes bonus recipes.
(Marcy Shuler 7:04pm December 3, 2013)

Well, this blog was a win for me! I loved the excerpt, the recipes, the
chance to win, and Hugh Jackman! Thanks! Congratulations on the book -
it sounds wonderful!
(Linda Brennan 7:41pm December 3, 2013)

Can't wait to get a copy of Billionaire Blend, sit back with a
hot cup of java, and sink into the adventures of Claire and
gang! And the recipes...oh my!
(Heather Sell 7:54pm December 3, 2013)

Sounds like another winning book from Cleo Coyle that I can't wait to read. I love this series, I love coffee and those recipes all look delicious!
(Robyn Konopka 8:50pm December 3, 2013)

I am really looking forward to reading Billionaire Blend. I
have loved all the Coffeehouse Mysteries - they just keep
getting better and better!
(Janet Morrissey 8:56pm December 3, 2013)

As usual, you and Marc have outdone yourselves! Can't wait to read the whole thing! Thinking of both of you during your trials this year.
(Tonya Hundley 9:03pm December 3, 2013)

Two things I love to do is read mysteries and cook, this is what lead me to
read my first Coffeehouse Mystery, and just like coffee I've been addicted ever
since. Not only am I challenged to figure "who dunnit" I learn something new
about coffee with each new volume. I so look for to the newest edition that I
pre-order as soon as I can on Amazon. When a coffee loving co-worker
retired I gave her every edition that was in print at that time and she's now
addicted, too. Cleo please keep writing these wonderful books! Maybe
someday Hugh Jackman will agree to play Mateo when the rights are
purchased to put them on the "big screen". I'll be in line at the open show for
that.
(Terri Palmer 9:05pm December 3, 2013)

Oh wow this sounds like a very exciting book in the series with the most mouth watering recipes. I can't wait to see what is going to happen with Claire and all the gang down at the Village Blend !!!Crossing chilly fingers and toes that all my favourite characters will be okay
(Edel Waugh 9:06pm December 3, 2013)

Dear Cleo: Billionaire Blend is my neighborhood book club's book for the month of January (yeah) and I would love to win a copy of it for my daughter who normally buys the audio books as she works and has three children, so "reads" her books while driving to and from work on her CD player. But since I could not find this out in CD format yet, I would love to win a copy of the book to give to her. I love the fact that you give enough background in each book to make them stand alone books. I have loved each and every one of them, and can hardly stand to finish one knowing it will be awhile before the next one becomes available. I love the Wolverine's coffee information too.

Thank you.

I LOVE the Coffeehouse Mysteries...and since I was introduced to them, I can't get enough. What's better than a cup of coffee, a Coffeehouse Mystery and a sweet treat from the recipes that are included with the books!
(Kathi Dugas 9:16pm December 3, 2013)

Just in time for reading by the Christmas tree. What a great present for ME! Love these mysteries.

(Pam Magnus 9:34pm December 3, 2013)

Can't wait to read it! I don't even want to read the first
chapter since it will make me want it even more badly. I'm
making the Oatmeal Cookie Brittle for a cookie exchange on
Saturday! Thanks for the giveaway~
(Jennifer Chambers 9:48pm December 3, 2013)

I have bought all the books in this series. Also, bought copies for my sister.
Pre-ordered Billionaire Blend. Can't wait to get it! Love all the recipes you
include in the books and on your facebook page and website. I keep
commenting on facebook that you should publish a cookbook of all those
great recipes. I would be happy to buy it for myself and as gifts!!! Hope
you'll do that soon. You are so talented:a great writer and baker/cook.
(Shari Santella 9:52pm December 3, 2013)

Cleo, I can't wait to read this one. And I have to try the Crunchy Almond Biscotti. The book is definitely on my Christmas list. Would love to try Woverine's coffee. Too bad he can't come over and make it for me. Hope Marc is well. Please keep the books coming.
(Antonette Nyman 10:11pm December 3, 2013)

Looking forward to purchasing Billionaire Blend for my birthday tomorrow! I will

I'm excited about reading your books. Coffee and a book are right down my alley!
(Barbara Wells 7:50am December 4, 2013)

It's hard to say who loves you and your books most around
here. My kid have been thrilled with the gift ideas. Last
year it was a new coffee grinder, coffee beans and the 2
books I was missing. My co-workers who have read your books
at my not so subtle urging. Again my kids for the recipes I
have tried out on them. My mother, who turned me into a
mystery lover way too many years ago, who loves the books.
Of course, I would have to say me, since I made them all try
. I'm looking forward to the big 3 M's: murder, mayhem and
Mike. Happy holidays to you and yours
(Laura Smith 7:54am December 4, 2013)
