Enemies ...

After years away, Miranda Sweet returns to Salvation, Virginia to save her family's brewery, but her fate is in the hands of her lover-turned-enemy, Logan. What's a girl to do when the only person who can help her is the man who betrayed her?

Lovers ...

Logan Martin can't believe his luck when the woman who smashed his heart to smithereens walks into his bank asking for his help. What she doesn't know is that he needs the land her brewery is on--and he'll do whatever it takes to get it.

An Irresistible Combination ...

Their wager becomes a battle between their attraction and their determination to win. But it's in each other's arms that they realize there might be more at stake now than their bet. With the town against the Sweet Salvation Brewery's success, Logan has to choose between what's expected of him and what he really wants...

Why I Read this Book: I do love a good bet! No really, the premise of this book (and the interactions between the main characters) is based around a bet. Even more intriguing is the small-town setting and the fact that the woman will be running a brewery. Not exactly your typical setup.

What I Liked: Miranda Sweet is a headstrong, self-sufficient woman determined to get ahead in the corporate world. In order to do that, she is willing to suffer returning to her hometown that has basically villainized her entire family! If that’s not dedicated and self-assured, then I don’t know what is. The Romeo and Juliet style love affair between town golden boy Logan and town pariah Miranda gets a steamy makeover complete with sessions at workplaces!

What I Didn’t Like: Honestly, this was such a funny, well-written book that there really wasn’t much to dislike. Even the characters were dynamic and distinctive. If anything, I think the drama with the “good old boys” and Miranda was kind of annoying, but it did add something to the story. Kind of.

Overall Impression: A fun and kind of quirky read, Enemies on Tap had just what I was looking for in a contemporary romance. It was sweet when necessary and sassy when appropriate. There is a touch of Southern flare (in my opinion) to the way this town operates that made me long for my small hometown in North Carolina. I’ll be excited to see where the next installment goes!
