LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about this story! I don’t even know where to start to tell you all the amazing things about this book! The story is wonderfully done. It is filled with cuteness and adorable comments, gestures as well as laugh out loud moments. The characters are incredible. Each one is built to make the reader fall in love with them..no matter which one they are. I fell for the whole family and could hardly take my eyes from the pages. It has antics between the two main characters which I enjoyed but one of my favorite things is the lyrics when they sing. I just shook my head at them and chuckled to myself.

Ms Sylvie has knocked this one out of the park in my opinion. I will be doing some backlog reading on a few couples that show up in here while I await the next in the series.

Kudos to another families adventures that has become a new favorite for me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Love On Tap series and I really enjoyed it. This is an enemies to lovers story and it is full of laughter as our 2 main characters Cash and Hollis battle against each other. The author does an amazing job with the characters and I love how sassy Hollis is. She is one determined lady who won’t back down from a fight.
You can feel the chemistry and attraction between them right from the start even though reading the words you would think they hated this sight of each other but the chemistry is there and it gets more intense as they push each others buttons.
All to the mix a crazy family and this is a story that will have you hooked and laughing all the way. The main question is how long will it take them to realise that all this banter and pushing of the buttons is just hiding their true feelings? And what happens if they stopped the fighting and gave into them?

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Noah Pierce finds himself as the guardian of his deceased friend Beth’s nearly 7 month old baby girl. He quickly realizes he needs help and hires a nanny. Little did he know, the nanny he hires makes him feel. He feels way too much and doesn’t know what to do with the feelings. Noah has to make decisions about the baby’s living arrangements, with him or not. His decision can make or break his newfound relationship and uncover secrets from the past.

Amy, the nanny Noah hired, quickly falls for the baby girl in her care… and Noah. When Noah makes decisions about the baby’s care it stirs up emotions that Amy didn’t realize she was still trapped under. Amy can walk away while wallowing in her memories or make the best of her future.

Cry Baby was a lighthearted rom-com with all the best parts of a love story. It was easy to read and entertaining. Although part of a series, it is easily read as a standalone.

Such a cute book. Cash and Hollis have nothing in common except her dog grooming shop is next door to his bar. When the prank war between them gets seemingly out of hand, they form a truce to save the bar. They learn a lot during their truce, including how much chemistry is between them. Things aren’t always as they seem and when the truth comes out will they go back to their corners and come out fighting, or will they be able to start anew?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was another heartfelt installment into this series. How can these brothers not make you swoon??

When Noah Pierce finds himself as the guardian of a nearly 7 month old baby girl, he knows he is in way over his head. To make it worse, the nanny he hired makes his heart feel things he has not felt or allowed himself to feel in a very long time. As Noah has to make tough choices about the baby’s living arrangements, hearts get broken and secrets get revealed.

The nanny, Amy, falls hard and fast for both Noah and the baby girl. Even she doesn’t realize the extent that her feelings about her past get swirled up into the mix of Noah and baby. When the tough choices get made, Amy realizes that there is so much she has not grieved in her life. Will she be able to find a way past her grief, acknowledge that Noah isn’t the same as the guy in her past, and forgive herself?

There is nothing like a man that can play an instrument and sing. Noah can win me over any time by singing love songs in my general direction. On a side note, this author continues to shine in the way she addresses mental health issues. When Amy determined that she needed professional help to deal with her grief, she sought it, got it, and it was good. Everyone deals with trauma in their own way and this author shows a way of support and non-judgement. Bravo!!

Can we find a lost Pierce Brother or two to continue this series? I hate to see it go. It has been a joy and a pleasure to be their mate (the Aussie kind) throughout this journey.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel was sweet! I loved the rivalry between the business neighbors. Ale’s Fair in Love and War is an enemies to lovers’ romance. The author sucks you in with a fun playful game of pranks and animosity by the main characters. I’ve read enemies to lovers romances before I feel this one was one of the more playful happy ones.
Cash and Hollis have a love/hate relationship. Constantly playing pranks on one another, Hollis goes as far as sending a glitter bomb Cash’s way. But when the Health Inspector makes an unexpected visit to Cash’s brewery, he thinks it’s another one of Hollis’s games and doesn’t take it seriously. Unfortunately it’s very much serious and he has 3-4 weeks to make about 25k worth of upgrades or his brewery will be shut down.
Hollis steps in and offers to help, thinking her stepfather is behind it. Cash may have been resistant at first but was glad for the help. In turn they realized they weren’t that different.
Do they succeed in raising the money needed for the upgrades?
What about their budding chemistry?
This book makes you smile, makes you frown, it also makes you laugh if you appreciate the author’s humor. But one thing it does is genuinely bring a smile to one’s face. I look forward into digging into book 2 as well as other books by this author.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War is an entertaining read. The main characters, Hollis and Cash. Hollis owns a pet grooming company and Cash a brewery. To say they do not get along is an understatement. The two play pranks on each other constantly, until one prank goes too far.
Hollis and Cash will have to work together to solve their predicament.
This story was fun to read from beginning to end, and the banter between the two characters had me laughing though out the book.

This book is the first book in the series. It can be read as a standalone. This romantic comedy is where it’s at. This was such a good read.

Cash and Hollis don’t exactly start off on the right foot. The prank war that ensues doesn’t help. With Cash’s brewery and Hollis’ dog grooming business next door to each other, things may only go down hill. All that to say, there is very clearly attraction for the other from both parties. Lots of humor and banter while these two figure out what side of the line they want to be on.

This book is well written. The characters are well developed that you don’t hate anyone even when they aren’t necessarily getting along. Definitely recommend giving it a read as Sylvie Stewart does a great job as usual!

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Determined to make this job work as a live in nanny, Amy Highgate is optimistic despite the issue with her boss being gloomy.

After the passing of his friend, Noah Pierce, who is bachelor takes in the daughter of his friend but he has no idea how to take care of her or who her father is.

This brings the two people together and along the way the two of them find some common ground.

I really enjoyed this novel more than I thought I would. I wasn’t in the mood for an instalove story and the cover and premise caught my attention.

I do enjoy slow burn romance and the characters getting to know each other before romantic feelings get involved.

I saw this was the most recent novel in a series of standalones but I will be reading the previous books to get to know the brothers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hollis Hayes has just opened her own dog grooming business next door to the Blue Bigfoot bar, own and run by Cash. The two initially get along like oil and water…or worse. A prank war, started over a dumpster, eventually leads to more when Cash mistakes a real inspector for a fake, hired by Hollis to antagonize him. When he mouths off and makes some comments he really shouldn’t, his family bar is hit with a list of complaints that will cost a bunch of money. Hollis assumes that the inspector is really a plant from her stepfather, after it comes out that Cash’s younger brother briefly had a relationship with Hollis’s teenage sister. While trying to raise the money to save the bar, the pair discover that they are much more alike than they originally believed, and begin to have a real relationship. This book is a guaranteed happily ever after, with lots of humor, love and relatable characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable, emotional and engaging read which kept me happily turning the pages until late at night. Although book four in a series it can be read as a standalone story, as each book focuses on one of the naughty but nice Pierce brothers. Having read and loved the previous stories, I was looking forward to this instalment and was not disappointed. Amy takes a live in nanny job but forgets the first rule of being a nanny, don’t fall for your boss! Confirmed bachelor Noah Pierce prefers numbers to people, but when one of his close friends dies unexpectedly his life changes.
His friend has left Noah sole guardianship of her baby girl, Amelia, and so Noah takes on Amy as a nanny. Amy sees Noah as the brooding silent type, but whilst Noah seems determined to find Amelia’s dad, Amy thinks Noah can do a great job as her guardian. Amy definitely didn’t expect to fall for her boss, anymore than Noah planned on falling for the nanny, after all they both stand to lose if their relationship crosses the line from professional to personal. As usual I fell in love with the characters who are likeable and relatable. The chemistry between Amy and Noah really came across in the narrative. The emotional storyline had me hooked throughout, and was a good mix of romance, humour and emotions. A heartwarming story which I definitely recommend.

This was a great feel-good read. Sylvie did an amazing job developing the characters and the storyline.

This book follows the story of Cash and Hollis. Cash is a hardworking bar owner that is determined to make his business a success. Hollis is a hardworking woman and owner of a pet grooming business.

That first meeting sets the tone for their relationship moving forward.

When an unexpected turn of events forces them to be closer who knows what will happen? Is it true that there is a thin line between love and hate? Will secrets about what really caused the event that happened break up their new relationship with each other? Are first impressions always accurate representations?

Read this book to find out what crazy adventures happen for Hollis and Cash.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ale’s Fair in Love and War was such a good book. It was a good romantic comedy, that had me laughing out loud. The story focuses on a back and forth pranking between Hollis and Cash. They both are small business owners, next door neighbors. Cash and his brothers operate a bar, and Hollis has a pet spa. They instantly have a rivalry that starts over something as silly as a trash can, and it escalates from here. Their banter is hilarious and their chemistry is off the charts. Hollis decides she needs to help Cash increase business, to make some money to settle some debts that have arisen. During this, they cannot deny their attraction forever, and they soon realize their prejudices about each other are far off base, and they have a lot in common. This book was great, and I look forward to the next one. Highly recommend this book.

Cash knew that Hollis Hayes, his enemy and business neighbor, was behind the odd phone calls he was getting. For Cash that was fine because he had a plan to get his revenge. When Cash’s family business though gets threatened, it draws a line that should never have been crossed. Hollis denies a part in it, push comes to shove and kisses are exchanged. Cash and Hollis begin to get close but can they really trust one another?

The banter and chemistry is off the charts in this book. Looks to be a very fun series full of laughter and romance. I really liked Hollis she is surly, quirky and a great heroine. The other characters were equally intriguing, definitely sets up for a wonderful series.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart is a really fun enemies to lovers romance. Ever since opening her dog grooming salon next door to his brewery and tap house, Cash and Hollis have been at each others throats. They are constantly trying to one up each other and carry out more elaborate pranks. When a misunderstanding causes Cash’s livelihood to become endangered, Hollis feels guilty and is determined to help him resolve it. It is only a matter of time before the thin line between love and hate is crossed. I really enjoyed this book, I love Cash’s family (especially his mum and Mango) I think this is a really strong start to the series and I am looking forward to finding out more about the other siblings.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War is a wonderfully written RomCom/ Enemies to Lover’s Romance that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I finished. I pretty much devoured this book in one afternoon. I loved everything about this book the bantering back and forth and how they were rivalries to an extent. The chemistry was off the charts and these two knew exactly what buttons to push on the other. But when Cash’s business could be at risk to be shut doen these two pull together to try and save his bar. This is where the story gets very interesting. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was excited when I found out this book was coming out. Especially since I already read the other 3 in the series. Don’t get me wrong the Pierce Brothers books are a series, but Cry Baby and the other 3 work very well as standalone novels. And guess what the author didn’t let me down. Noah’s story is probably my favorite!
I feel like I have an affinity for characters that are portrayed in a way as a recluse. I feel like they grow the most by the time the book comes to an end. Noah fits that mold and then some. His growth was slow but written beautifully.
With the unexpected death of his best friend Noah has been left as the current guardian of her 7 months old daughter Amelia. He has no idea where to begin, it doesn’t help he’s in mourning either. So if you’ve read the other books it’s no surprise that the Pierce brothers come to the rescue, while bringing an angel along with them.
Amy is called in for her affinity for children, and her and baby Amelia immediately develop a kinship. However Amy as much as she wants to help is battling past demons that are coming to the surface based on the situation. Lucky for her she’s good as plastering on a smile and hiding them. Taking a risk and becoming Noah’s nanny becomes a trying task.
Noah sees a lot of himself in Amy, despite walking around as grump and her sunshine demeanor, he can see she’s had a rocky past. That kinship is what brings him closer to her, but is their pasts going to bring them together or be their undoing.
This series is great and I’ll reiterate in saying this book is the best one. But prove me wrong, jump into this book and series and decide for yourself. Trust me when I say, you will be hooked. You will also want more!

To one of my Favorite books in 2023 so far. It was that good. Cash and Hollis are just perfect
For eachother. This book had it all. The joking, the tricks, the hidden feelings that are dying to bubble over. Hollis knows when Cash stalks towards her,‘there’s no getting away. I love how Hollis helps Cash but one question I still
Have is WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? cannot wait for the next book. 5+ stars for sure

Cash is one of the owners of blue Bigfoot brewery, they have had peaceful existence until neighbour from hell moves next door.

Hollis has opened her dream, a dog grooming parlour and is just trying to build up her business, so when she enter the pub next door to give away some flyers she did not expect full out war with the owner.

As the practical jokes get more and more elaborate Cash and Hollis start feeling chemistry between them until a misunderstanding causes an explosion in more ways than one.

I love this author’s writing style, she writes warm and rich characters which instantly make there way to your heart and Hollis and Cash are no different. The start of the book just lets you peak in just enough to have you hooked and can put the book down until you find out what happens.

I loved the character of Hollis so sassy and independent wanting to make a life for herself without the trappings of her parents money which was refreshing to read. I loved also Cash and how at the beginning you see him as this gruff man but slowly within the story he becomes a great man and I think I have yet another book boyfriend lol.

I can’t wait to see who is next in this series as all the secondary characters enhance the story even mango.

What a great first chapter! It was hilarious and I instantly fell in love and was excited for the rest of the book! Amazing job Sylvia for grabbing my attention! If you want a story about 2 business owners, that have their stores right next to each other…who constantly butt heads and play pranks on each other? Who can’t seem to stop the physical attraction for one another even though they can’t stand each other? This is for you. I love a good hate to love romance! The characters were great and watching the 2 main characters realize they’re wrong about each other..was the best. What a great HEA! I’ll definitely be reading the next book in the series!

The main characters, Cash and Hollis, totally weaved their way into my heart right from the start and I just had to keep reading to see where the storyline was going to take them. The author has definitely created plenty of interest and intrigue about the other characters to have you wanting to come back for more as well.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War is the first book in the Love on Tap series by Sylvie Stewart. I have loved everything I have read by Ms. Stewart so there was no doubt that I would love this too- and Ms. Stewart didn’t disappoint.
This is a fun enemies-to-lovers romcom with funny quips, banter, one-liners, antics, rivalry, prank wars, chemistry, sizzle, family dynamics, drama, and more. The humour and prank wars were nicely balanced by emotion and a few sweet and tender touches.
I loved Cash and Hollis from the outset and was highly entertained by their amusing prank wars which made it really easy to connect with them- so I was only a few chapters into the book before I found myself heavily invested in them and their story. I devoured this book in a flash and by the time I got to the end I wanted to turn around and read it all over again.
I really recommend this book, and I can’t wait to continue with the series.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Sylvie Stewart!

Ale’s Fair in Love and war
By: Sylive Stewart

This is such an enjoyable book! I love the characters of Hollis and Cash. They have a very interesting relationship. Cash runs a family brewery and his family is far from simple. The last thing he wants is not get along with the neighbor and risk losing the brewery. They engage in a prank war, which was not my favorite part of the story. However, I really love their banter. It kept me reading long past my bedtime because i wanted to see what was going to come of it. I also loved Cash’s family. I am a sucker for a story with a big crazy family. Plus this gives off major small town vibes. I absolutely love this. It was my first book by Sylive Stwart but it definitely won’t be my last. She is now on my authors I need more of list and I will be reading all her past and future books!

Sylvie had me at the books title – Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance. It is a standalone steamy Rom Com and is the first book in the Love on Tap series that promises good things. Sylvie has become a favourite author. I enjoy her work because they are an easy, light and fun read.
This enemies-to-lovers romance will find yourself laughing out loud at the sassy and snarky antics and banter and find yourself loving each and every one of these crazy and quirky characters, flawed or not they are family. It is a quick read that is told in several POV’s, which I love. The main characters are cute as they push and pull and dance around one another.
What do you do when your neighbour is a pain in your ar$e but is hot as hell? Well, you sit back and watch the sparks fly……… With a big crazy family that are hilarious and lots of chemistry what could go wrong? If only they can get on the same page.

This is a fun, sweet, humorous and steamy entertaining read!

Even before starting to read it, this book ticked all the boxes for me. Enemies-to-lover? Yes. Pranks and hilarity? Yes. Fun and relatable characters? Yes. As soon as I started this book I could not put it down. It is described as “your next weekend read” but I devoured this book in the space of an afternoon. It was such fun from start to finish, entertaining and hilarious. And yet, the author managed to strike the balance between that and a credible storyline.
I have read a few books by this author and I love how each and everyone of them is different. This is easily the most fun and the banter between the characters was amazing. I loved this book and already cannot wait to read it again.

Cry Baby: A Grump Sunshine Slow Burn Romantic Comedy (Pierce Brothers Book 4)Cry Baby: A Grump Sunshine Slow Burn Romantic Comedy by Belinda Williams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This one was a little tough for me. I like the Pierce Brothers but the execution of the story was a struggle. There is a lot of introspection with one character in particular but it isn’t the only one. It just seemed too much and took me away from being in the moment with the story. Honestly I did some skimming during these times to keep the story moving along for me. This one deals with grief and denial for the most part. Sure there is the unknown baby element but it really takes a back seat to the problems that occur with the two main characters. This is listed as a rom com. I really don’t see that maybe smidgens but the darker side overtakes it all.

As stated I do love these brothers and their women. They are great support for whomever the story is about. I liked the breakdown of each of them from Noah’s POV.

I also enjoyed the growth that Noah’s character made. He had hard decisions to make but he did them smartly and I applaud him for that.

Overall this is an okay read for me. Not my favorite of the series but still good.
