Enemies on Tap, the first book in the Sweet Salvation Brewery series was thoroughly enjoyable, although I felt a little Flynn-spark was missing. In HOLLYWOOD ON TAP, we get a veritable bonfire: it's terrific multiplied by ten! And worry not, Ms. Flynn provides all the background needed to enjoy this remarkable book on its own.
The Sweet triplets -- Miranda, Olivia and Natalie -- inherited the Sweet Salvation Brewery. It seemed to be thriving, but recently things have been going wrong and suspicions fall on the new brewmaster; so the sisters beg efficiency expert Natalie to come home from Missouri. Natalie needs complete order to control the panic attacks that have plagued her since childhood. She has lists and flowcharts for everything; she even knows how many seconds it takes her to get fully dressed. She shuns any chaos, and relationships are just that: unmanageable chaos.
Brewmaster Sean O'Dell, has many secrets; he's a former Hollywood star who disappeared from the face of the earth several years ago. He intends to keep his anonymity secret until a ghost from the past surfaces. Sean avoids Natalie like the plague: her controlling ways drive him crazy. Even though he worked his way up the ladder, he's as messy as they get, and yet he lusts after Natalie; he just loves her prim and proper look and he daydreams about undoing those tiny buttons on his boss' twin-set. Only one thing flusters Natalie: Sean. And they will have to work together to fix what's ailing the Sweet Salvation Brewery.
Avery Flynn is unsurpassed when it comes to writing characters, down to the last one: they are colourful, appealing, quirky, yet completely believable. HOLLYWOOD ON TAP has everything: a meticulously crafted suspense, non-stop action, remarkable writing, stellar dialogue, hilarious tidbits, and hot romance. I love Avery Flynn's heroes, because they happen to be women; strong, modern, feminine women, and Natalie is one of the best characters I've ever met; she's a heroine for the ages.
Ms. Flynn possesses remarkable writing skills: she crafts a solid story and then she lets her fabulous characters run the show and it's unbelievably successful. HOLLYWOOD ON TAP is cinematic, colourful, fun; it blew me away! Avery Flynn redefines yet again the romantic suspense genre! Fantastic!
