Hotness Rating 3 out of 5Enemies on Tap is the first book of the Sweet Salvation Brewery series by Avery Flynn and oh what a great start to a series it is. The witty and often times hilarious plot line was so much fun to read. But, none of this took away from the attraction between Logan and Miranda. This book is just a feel good, lovely read from beginning to end.The Sweet triplets were born and raised in Salvation which was not sunshine and roses. You see historically and not-so-historically the Sweet family are known to be quite quirky and downright crazy. The townspeople had no problem treating all of the members of the family as the village idiots. This was especially hard on the triplet girls since they actually tried to contain the crazy and not live up to the family tradition. Knowing they would never get a fair shake the girls left town at 18 and never looked back. Until now!Miranda Sweet is back in Salvation. To be honest, she is as surprised as everyone else. Her uncle passed away and left her and her sisters the brewery. They could have just sold out and gone on with their successful lives away from the judgement of their beloved (insert sarcastic font) hometown. But, she is determined to show the town that a Sweet can do something right. It doesn't hurt that she's talked her boss into investing in the brewery if she can show it's a good investment. If she can prove herself in this endeavor she will finally get the promotion she's been working her butt off for.Logan Martin is tired of living in his father's shadow. His father was a drunk and a mean one at that. Yet, the town of Salvation didn't see that so much. All they saw was the rich bank owner and the Martin family was hailed as Salvation royalty. Logan knows the reality and the weight of living life as a Martin and intends to make his own way. Yes, he's stepped into his father's shoes now that his father is working less, but Logan has a big expansion in the works. Once this deal goes through Logan can finally relax knowing that he has done something good for the community on his own merit. The only thing standing in his way is Miranda Sweet. The one girl who he has never been able to resist. But, resist he will. He has to put the Sweet Salvation brewery out of business and buy it for his idea to work.Even though, Logan and Miranda were pitted against one another you could still feel the attraction and mutual like. Logan was really underhanded in the beginning and instead of aggravating me I felt so bad for him. He was fighting his need for independence and self-respect versus his love and want for Miranda. The little war they waged against each other was funny and so smart.I was appalled at how some of these townspeople acted. Open hostility because of someone's last name should be a thing of the past, but I know small towns and sadly this little tradition is alive and well. We met some really great secondary characters and I can not wait to read more from this town and these sisters.You can find this review and others at [...]
