Mateo and Olivia have a history that books are written about. Hot, uninhibited and prefect.
Mateo claimed Olivia to be his good luck charm before going on missions. When she want more than the rules allowed, luck turned walked out the door.
Life happened causing major changes to Mateo and Olivia, rocking them to their core. Also bring them back to each other. A slight touch showed them the chemistry still flamed for two people that are the same but now very different people. While trying to keep each other away at an armslength, and forced to be together, may be more than these to can handle.
Avery Flynn shakes up small town romance with the Trouble on Tap. A feisty woman taking on a stubborn man with chemistry off charts. Woot! The pages will heat up and have you laughing at the same time. Prepare for a good dose of wit, some sarcasm and trouble. Perfect beach read.

I enjoyed Olivia and Mateo's story. It was a quick, easy read. I haven't read the two books before it, but it definitely made me want to go back and read them. I give this book 4 stars and recommend it to everyone who likes romance.

*I received a free ARC of Trouble on Tap from Netgalley in exchange of an honest and unbiased review*
#COYER Summer 2015.
In Trouble on Tap we finally get to meet the third triplet, and the second chance trope that is prevalent made my heart happy.
This book counts towards the COYER scavenger hunt item #30: Read a book with more than 125 pages and less than 215 pages in its paperback format (2 points)

This is absolutely the best book out of the three; I think I enjoyed each progressively more than last. I really grew to love the Sweet sisters and their little town.
Trouble on Tap really didn't involve the brewery at all; it was like an afterthought, whereas in the other books the brewery was front and center. This was much more about Olivia and Mateo's relationship and internal demons. And it's a second chance romance, an absolutely favorite trope for me.
Olivia is the third and final triplet for us to get to know, the youngest and the one who has embraced the stereotype that the Sweet family is crazy and wild, rather than rallying against it like her older sisters. In reality, though, she craves to be accepted in the same way her sisters craved it - if not more. She's gone out and lived a glamorous life as a model. She's ready to come home, be part of the family business and to be loved and accepted. That all stopped for various reasons, 1 being that Mateo's final tour had ended in disaster and he wouldn't see Olivia. Now he's back home and too busy carrying the guilt of that last tour to really embrace life.... until Olivia comes back and begins breaking down his walls.
I loved the personal growth in this book. The animals are also really fantastic - there's a 3 legged cat and a scraggly dog - both that you just can't help but love. And it closes out the chapter on the Sweet Family really nicely. Not that there couldn't be more books in this town - there certainly could - but I'm very satisfied with how Avery Flynn has wrapped up things for the Sweet Sisters.
I listened to this book and Charlotte North continues to be a really reliable narrator for good voices and bringing everything to life. I will not hesitate to listen to more books she narrates.

Reimagining of Beauty and the Beast concludes the Sweet Salvation Brewery series and this was my favourite, of the trilogy.

Smart business move: Create a trilogy about triplets. You only need one model for the entire series.
This was my least favorite book in the series. I would just like the trope that scarred men become god awful brutes who hate everyone and everything and are convinced that even when a woman shows that she is attracted to them, it is pity, to die in a deep, deep hole in the bottom of the sea (great, now that song is stuck in my head. Just another sin to lay at this book's door).
I didn't hate everything. I do love the trope where two people were together and ended things, but are now back in contact with each other. Especially for novella-length romances, since it makes the insta-attraction make more sense. They already know what it's like together.
The writing was still good (all of it *winky face*), the characters interesting, and the storyline... Well, it's not LOGICAL, but it's not completely unrealistic. Only mostly unrealistic. Though I might be saying this as someone who has never lived in a small town (thank the Lord. The month I spent in the middle of nowhere in TN was not the best month of my life).
Anyway, the "villain" of the book was VERY easy to defeat. Actually, there were two (spoiler alert?), and both of them were taken care of with a few words that reeked of blackmail. It really had a big build-up for no pay-off. I was expecting more sleaze. Especially from one of those villains, since he has been a reoccurring problem child throughout the entire trilogy.
Final thoughts: I liked this trilogy and there were elements to each book that I enjoyed, but each book had two tropes, one that I adore and one that I would hate. Plus with the drama only somewhat making sense, it really made me struggle with the stories and lower my rating for each book. Also, I am sorry for anyone who reads this review, because I had coffee and now my brain is ping-ponging and I don't think I'm making much sense.
