Avery Flynn is Brewing Up Trouble and Romance in the Sweet Salvation Brewery Series

Fresh Fiction is proud to welcome Avery Flynn as she chats with us about her Sweet Salvation Brewery contemporary romance series!

Thanks so much for having me!

Your new Sweet Salvation Brewery contemporary romance series is set mainly against the backdrop of family-owned brewery in a small Southern town. What drew you to use a brewery as a major locale for this series?

Confession time, I’m kind of a beer snob and I love craft brews so … I combined my love of beer and my love of romance and called it research. Being a romance writer: It’s a horrible no-good life. LOL :)

I loved reading Miranda Sweet’s story in ENEMIES ON TAP, and I’m looking forward to reading Miranda’s sisters’ stories in the books to come. Can you tell us which Sweet sister will be brewing up trouble in the next series installment?

Oh yes! Natalie is up next in HOLLYWOOD ON TAP (did someone say movie star next door, oh yes some hot brewmaster has been keeping secrets from the Sweet sisters). That will be out in mid October and the third book in the series, TROUBLE ON TAP, features youngest sister Olivia and an ex-Marine turned small town police chief. That book will be out in November - nothing like something a little smexy to go with your Thanksgiving turkey. :)

In addition to your heroes and heroines, there is a great cast of characters populating the town of Salvation, Virginia. (My personal favorite is the sassy diner owner with the winning sweet tea and pecan pie recipes.) Who are some of your favorite secondary characters to write in this series?

Oh Ruby Sue is awesome. I just love a snarky, slightly grumpy octogenarian. She says what she thinks no matter what. Another secondary character I love is Hud. He is a keeper and I can’t wait to share his story someday.

Since this series features a brewery, I can probably guess the answer to this question, but I have to know: After a long day of writing, what drink do you reach for to cool off and relax?

Hmmmm…. a beer. :) My current obsession is Anchor Brewing from out in Washington state, but I highly recommend Lost Rhino (local to my area) too. They let me tour their brewery and it was fascinating.

Fresh Fiction Readers want to know: When you aren’t writing, what do you like to read?

Everything! I go fangirl crazy over Lori Foster. Seriously. I’m too chicken to go to her reader get together because I’m afraid I would make a total idiot of myself. Check that. I KNOW I would make a total fangirl idiot of myself.

Thanks again to Avery for joining us! Readers, are you thirsty yet? Buy your copy of ENEMIES ON TAP today!

Enemies

What’s a girl to do when the only person who can help her is the man who betrayed her? After years away, Miranda returns to Salvation, Virginia to save her family’s brewery, but her fate is in the hands of her first lover turned enemy, Logan Martin.

Lovers

Logan, Salvation’s de facto prince, can’t believe his luck when the woman who smashed his heart to smithereens walks into his bank asking for his help. What she doesn’t know is he needs the land her brewery is on. When she tempts him with a bet—if she wins, he gives her the loan; if he wins, she forfeits the land—he knows it’s a sure thing.

An Irresistible Combination

But soon it’s a battle between their attraction for each other and their determination to win, and it’s in each other’s arms that they realize there might be more at stake now than the bet. With the town dead set against the Sweet Salvation Brewery’s success, Logan has to choose between what’s expected of him and what he really wants—even if helping Miranda means she’ll run out of his life once again.
