Enemies turn Lovers in a small town

Enemies on Tap is the first book in a new series about the Sweet Salvation Brewery and my first book by Avery Flynn which is based on the enemies to lovers romance trope. I am always fascinated how authors take two characters that can't stand each other and turn it around to have them fall in love. Avery Flynn does a great job messing with the readers' emotions in Enemies on Tap, reading about Miranda and Logan's journey to love was a fast paced and fun time and I was hooked from the beginning!
Salvation, Virginia isn't exactly your typical Anywhere, USA small town, but it does have a quirky charm that keep my attention and looking forward to meeting the town's cast of characters. Salvation's two founding families the Sweets and the Martins are in a long standing feud and the town has definitely written off the Sweet family and all its members. While at times it was hard to read such small-minded hatred for someone based solely on their last name, I have to say Avery Flynn wrote in some funny scenes and gave us a pretty tough skinned heroine in Miranda that more than made up for it. Logan starts as a hero you love to hate and then (quickly) decides that he doesn't have to follow how is has always been done and rethinks his attitude.
Enemies on Tap was a quick story to read (I think I had it read in two hours) the characters were interesting, different and sometimes hard to connect with and the town is one that slowly starts to grow on you. While I did feel that some of the story was rushed, it did deliver a enjoyable read that has me looking forward to the next book in this series. I am excited to read more about the town of Salvation and the Sweet Salvation Brewery sisters!
This was my first book by Avery Flynn and I will definitely be on the look out for more from this author, I really enjoyed her writing style. If you are in the mood for a quick, witty story about overcoming your pre-destined role in a small town then I recommend Enemies on Tap, it is a quick read that will leave you smiling.
