Hollis Hayes is the worst neighbor in the entire history of neighbors.

She's also the hottest.

F.M.L.

I don't have time to fight with the dog groomer next door. There's a brewery to run, siblings to rein in, and a mom to look after. So if Hollis thinks I'll roll over and let her drive me out of business, she's not nearly as smart as she thinks she is.

Sure, I enjoy the little pranks we play on each other, and I don't hate watching her prance around in those tight leggings. But she's gone too far this time, even if she pretends to know nothing about it.

I'll do whatever it takes to save my business from going under, and if that means playing dirty with the girl I love to hate, game on.

If you like snarky banter, sizzling chemistry, big crazy families, and evil geniuses, Ale's Fair in Love and War is your next weekend read. This is book 1 in the Love on Tap series about the Brooks family's adventures in brewing beer and finding love in Asheville, North Carolina. It can be read as a standalone steamy romantic comedy with tons of heart and an HEA.

Snarky, fun, and entertaining, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. ~ Sharon – Simply Love Books

 

I’m a sucker for a book series that revolves around family, so Sylvie Stewart’s Love on Tap series was a perfect one to dive into. Ale’s Far In Love and War is an enemies to lovers story and while these are not usually my favorite, I enjoyed this one quite a bit. The banter was hilarious and while at times I felt the pranks were a bit childish, they did get a rise out of each other because of them until one goes a bit too far.

Hollis and Cash run neighboring businesses and have been adversaries from the moment she opened her dog grooming studio and their shared dumpster begins causing problems. Yet when Cash tells Hollis her latest “prank” could cost him and his family their business and livelihood; she suspects someone she is close to may be the cause of the problem and while she keeps that information to herself she offers to help Cash get to the bottom of it. As they work together to save his family’s brewery and taproom they begin to see each other in a new light and their attraction grows.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War was a fantastic start to this series and with the secondary characters being a huge part of this first book; I cannot wait to see how the rest of this series plays out. Snarky, fun, and entertaining, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
