My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cash runs a bar and brewery, tries to keep his siblings in line and looks after his mom. For the most part, things are going well – until Hollis moves in with her grooming business next door. These neighbors and business owners love to hate one another – and the pranks are enough to drive each other insane, if their hot chemistry doesn’t first!

I love a good, fun, enemies to lovers story. These two drive each other wild in all sorts of ways. There are fun levels of snark, insane levels of chemistry and a fun, what could be considered realistic storyline. When things end up going too far and Cash is in a bind, Hollis feels obligated to help him since she had a hand in it. The more they spend time together and actually SEE eachother, things progress. Very lovable and interesting characters, more than enough fun and lust to keep you invested and better yet, a series to enjoy! Quick, fun read. Highly recommend.

The pranks between Cash and Hollis are harmless until they aren’t. When there is a likelihood that Cash will lose not only his bar but his family’s livelihood he finds himself accepting help from the enemy. Hollis feels that she had a hand in what led to this and wants to fix it. Will these two be able to work cohesivly and make sure the brewery is able to stay in the Brooks family? If you like romantic comedy this one will have you laughing until you cry. Also if you don’t mind the funny looks from your significant other when laughing out loud in a quiet room this is worth it.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Love on Tap Book 1)

If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh and sigh then I would suggest you read this book.

Cash and Hollis start off in a hate filled but funny prank war, but things change rapidly after a misunderstanding leads to them spending time together.

The way their friendship started to bloom after they started to know one another and realize where those intense feelings were heading things got pretty hot.

There are little gems like Sausage Fest, the stuffed dog and the surprise package being delivered that made me laugh.

Cash’s brothers, sister and Mom just add that extra something for me. Ms. Stewart got the family dynamic perfect. Oh and how can I forget to mention Larry!

I look forward to keeping up with this family and see how they grow and change. My money is on Miller’s story being epic.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance is the first book in Love on Tap series.
I always enjoy books by this author, and I was glad to grab a new book by her. This is a fun enemies-to-lovers romance. Cash owns a local brewery with his brother, and his arch-enemy Hollis owns the dog grooming business next door. The two have developed a mutual dislike of one another. The snark between them and the pranks they pull are great. You can feel the sparks growing between them. When they join forces to save Cash’s business, they are a power to be reckoned with. I enjoyed the characters and the back-and-forth between them. This is an entertaining romantic read with a HEA. I look forward to grabbing the next book in this series. With this author, I’m always guaranteed a good book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a great story, I loved that it was lighthearted and fun read. Cash and Hollis’s pranks are hilarious, I felt an instant chemistry between them. I love characters that try to be their own person. For instance, Hollis has a rich stepdad who treats her like his own so she could easily live off daddy’s money but she’s working hard to make it on her own without their financial help. I do wish we could have had more interactions with other characters, especially carter. And maybe his mom but only because she’s a fun character and honestly, I’d probably be happy with a short story all about her being crazy, I loved the energy she brought to the book. She had me questioning the timeline when she had to return a Netflix DVD, I didn’t know you could still rent them.
I’m really glad this book had such a happy ending. Sure, Hollis kept a secret, but it wasn’t that big of a deal and she was helping Cash out anyway. I think readers who enjoy humorous romances with a few spicy scenes mixed in will really enjoy this book.

I love when I get to read a book that once I’m done my soul does a happy dance for a while. This book was everything I didn’t even know I was looking for. This author in my opinion brought everything needed for an amazing story. The storyline was fast paced, fun and I laughed so much. The characters are the kind that you want them as real life every day friends. The banter between them will keep you entertained for hours. I can’t wait for more in this series. Five of the biggest stars I can give and highly recommended!

I read this book in two days, hard with 3 kids but enjoyed reading it so much that I could not put it down. It’s a hate to love romance and the first one in the series. Cash and Hollis are next door rivals and play pranks on each other. It’s very entertaining to see how they interact and how the story unfolds. I can’t wait for the next book. My new favorite series.

This book had me laughing from the get go at the antics of Cash and Hollis. What starts as a prank war between the two side by side businesses turns a bit more serious when Cash’s brother Miller finds himself in the wrath of Hollis’ sister and father. Add to that a situation that is jeopardizing the business Cash decides to do whatever it takes to keep his business afloat even if it means help from his snarky neighbor. Meanwhile Hollis is fighting a guilty conscience in that she may have had a hand in the predicament of Cash’s business and offers help even if it is to alleviate her sense of guilt. Can these two ever find level footing or is the attraction to much to withstand and will drag them both under?

This is a hilarious, well written book that will go onto my list of books to be read often. I really enjoyed the snarky banter, the increasing tension, and the prank war that these two find themselves in. If you enjoy romantic comedies then definitely give this book a try it is well worth the read and I truly cannot recommend it enough.

Oh my goodness this must be one of the best books I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of reading ! I laughed hard , she’d a year or 2 but more than anything I thoroughly enjoyed it , now I love reading like I need the air I breathe so when I rave about a book I really jean it ❣️😉

Hollis is the worst neighbour according to Cash but ask anyone else you’ll be told she’s loving , kind , nurturing and caring and the townsfolk love her and Hollis isn’t blind he can see she’s easy on the eye but the rest of him will catch up soon enough 😉

Now if you were to ask Hollis what she thinks of Cash she’ll tell you he’s an arrogant , brooding and HOT know it all 😉

Cash and Hollis were so much fun ! The teasing and banter between them had me in stitches but when the going gets tough , the tough get going and Hollis is all in to support Cash .

Both have loving friends and family which just adds to the “vibe” and the side characters were just as entertaining 😉

I enjoyed this read so much I had friends popping in on their tea break to be read to #truestory#everyone was hooked 😉

Enemies to lovers Rom Com
This was an hilarious read. I loved the dynamic between Hollis and Cash. The book launches straight into the story and the reader is immediately swept up into their battle. The banter, chemistry and steam is well written and it is told in dual POV which makes for a better connection with the characters. This is book #1 in Love on Tap series about the Brooks family but there is a novella with Denny and Rosie’s story which is worth checking out. Can’t wait for Carter’s book, Smooth Hoperator. Highly recommend.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War is a sweet and spicy enemies to lover’s romance with a good deal of humor sprinkled throughout the pages!

Hollis and Cash are neighbors and not good to each other AT ALL! In fact, from their very first meeting, they are at odds with one another. The only thing they have in common is that they are business owners trying to make their businesses a success. As their arguments and misunderstandings continued, they decided to begin pulling pranks on each other, and some are really bad yet oh-so-funny! When Cash thinks Hollis has gone too far, that’s actually when these two give into their hidden desire for one another. That’s when the story gets REALLY GOOD!!!

I loved both Cash and Hollis, and the addition of their families made the book even better. The characters were well-fleshed out and multi-dimensional. Oh my, the banter between these two was priceless! Their chemistry literally burned up the pages of this book.

Sylvie Stewart is a new writer to me, and I’m so glad to have discovered her. Her writing is fantastic. I love the way she sets her readers up for the next book in the series. If it is as good as this one, it’s sure to be a winner!

This book had me laughing nearly the entire time. Between the pranks and banter, I had a smile on my face for most of the time I spent reading this one! It is great!!! Hollis and Cash are the ultimate couple. The supporting characters are worth getting to know. I luv Cash’s mom, am frustrated with Hadley, scratching my head with Miller, wondering what’s up with Carter, and needing to know more about Lynn.

Hollis walked away from a swanky corporate job to follow her passion to open her own business. She planned everything about her business from the name, the colors, the location, to the marketing and growth. She planned everything. Everything but her neighbor. He is rude, he is crude, he is cold, he is gorgeous, he is sooooo sexy. He is Cash. What Hollis thought was a friendly request to leave her room in their shared dumpster turned bad and now is practically an all out prank war between her and Cash.

Cash couldn’t believe his luck when Hollis moved her business next door to his. That momentary elation quickly changed. He didn’t mean to snap at her, she just caught him at a bad time. Now, Cash can show no mercy when it comes to the prank war. When Cash’s brother is accused of breaking Hollis’ sister’s heart, the stakes are raised. Cash believes that Hollis is responsible for an anonymous tip to the Health Inspector. Hollis thinks that her family is responsible for the Health Inspector and the expensive upgrades/changes he is demanding. Hollis and Cash call a truce for a few weeks to help save his business.

This book is fabulous. It was great. The misunderstandings. The pranks. The banter. The family. The friends. The beer names. It is just wonderful. Throw in the steam and more to come (I hope), this author is the winning combination! You have made me a fan. I am in. For this series and probably others, but definitely this one! Insert Applause here!

I loved this cute and sometimes outrageous story about Chase and Hollis. The characters are well written, quirky, and fun. These business neighbors come up with some pretty good pranks on one another until one assumed prank ends up threatening the not-so-friendly bantering nature of their relationship and turning it into something more serious. As they try to work together on a common goal, things get a bit steamy; with all that heat between them as frenemies, it’s easy to see that translate into some bedroom tension. The question is whether or not the can both maintain their take on the world themselves attitude while simultaneously learning to trust and depend on each other. Such a fun read! I’m looking forward to reading some of the other books in this series.

Cash and Hollis are neighboring business owners who communicate via pranks and sarcasm. Cash’s misconception of Hollis seems to be the reason for this strife but the reason for their initial tension was never clear so I’m still left wondering why they hated each other to begin with. I really wanted more reason for this than it being a man’s misconception on a strong, independent female. This concept never sits well with me and it led me to not enjoy Cash’s character for the majority of this book. Hollis was an incredible character with love, courage, grace and a down to earth nature that doesn’t fit into her family’s visions for her future. While Cash annoyed me, the storyline did evolve nicely and kept me engaged. Good read with a nice cast of supporting characters.

Cash and Hollis own businesses next to each other…and have been trading pranks back and forth pretty much since Hollis opened up her pet grooming shop. They have all been harmless…until the latest one is going to cost Cash thousands of dollars. Feeling guilty, Hollis does whatever she can to help. However, working together causes their hate toward each other to turn into lust and, boy, do these to have chemistry that is off the charts. But, when the truth comes out about what is really going on, can these two trust each other? Or did a line get crossed that they can never come back from?

I enjoyed the banter between these two. While the pranks described are childish and humorous, I couldn’t believe that Hollis would take it that far. Watching her do whatever she could to help out, and ease her own guilt…and watching Cash take on the responsibility on his shoulders so others wouldn’t suffer…reminds me of what being the oldest child is like (even if Cash isn’t technically the oldest). It’s something ingrained in our brains and it is hard to turn off. These two worked through it in a way that felt so real! Overall, a good book that I enjoyed reading.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books. They are full of laughs and romance. I enjoy how she brings her stories to life with her creative writing skills. This book is no different. The characters pulled me into their world from the start. They are connectable and added so much to the story. They made me laugh at times and crazy at others. They have great chemistry and growth throughout the story. This is a story where a business needs to be saved but these characters may find that the business is not the only thing that is worth something. I really enjoyed these characters and how they made the story easy to read. This is a story you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I really enjoyed this book and found myself disappointed when I couldn’t find the time to read it. This story was cute, fun and even had a small plot twist in it.
Cash and Hollis were adorable from start to finish. Their banter was fun to follow and made me gasp and laugh out loud. The family dynamic and the love for animals also had me hooked from the start. This was a good, fast, lighthearted easy read.
This was the first book that I read from this author, and I found myself wanting to know more about the other characters, which I was THRILLED to find out that I can because she wrote stories on some of them.

Set in the mountains of North Carolina, two small town business owners have a rivalry going on. Cash’s brewery is just getting its legs when Hollis moves in next door. Her dog grooming business is at odds with the brewery for a multitude of reasons. When the Hollis and Cash start pranking each other, things go a little too far.
Opinion
The setting of this book is right up the road from me. Stewart does a great job emanating what a town in the mountains of NC would be like.
I personally enjoyed the scenes where the two main characters were fighting, not only each other but their own attraction to the other one. There were many places where I found myself laughing out loud at what happened.
Overall, I think that the best part of the book was the way the characters were described and the actions they took. I could imagine meeting people like the characters walking around town with a little vendetta on their mind against the other one.
I look forward to more books in this series.

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.

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?

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?

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!

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.
