Enemies on Tap is the first book in the Sweet Salvation Brewery series by Avery Flynn. Miranda Sweet, the heroine, has returned to her hometown, Salvation, to work on transforming the Sweet Salvation Brewery back into a profitable business. This isn’t easy when most of her efforts are being blocked by Logan, the hero, and the citizens of Salvation. I couldn’t stand Logan for the first half of the book. In fact, I hated him. His actions were smarmy, conceited and completely underhanded. I wish Miranda had been a little less understanding. I wanted Logan to have to work for her affection.The town of Salvation as a whole was irritating. Miranda and her sisters grew up being looked down on and insulted because of the Sweet name and when Miranda returns, nothing has changed. I can’t stand small minded hateful people and this book is full of them. It’s not till about the midway point that Logan finally climbs down from his high horse and takes a hard look at his mindset and actions. Fortunately the Logan in the second half of the book was much more likable. Though, the quick turnaround gave it a bit of a fairy tale feel.Enemies on Tap is on the shorter side so it’s a quick read. The pacing is smooth and the story is one that held my attention. All in all, it’s a good read and I liked it.*ARC received from Entangled Publishing via NetGalley.
