Review: Sandcastle Beach by Jenny Holiday
Synopsis
From the USA Today bestselling "master of witty banter" (Entertainment Weekly) comes a hilarious and heartwarming romance about two enemies whose feud turns red-hot.
Maya Mehta will do anything to save her tiny, beloved community theater. Put on musicals she hates? Check. Hire an arrogant former-pop-star-turned-actor? Done. But what Maya really needs to save her theater is Matchmaker Bay's new business grant. She's got some serious competition, though: Benjamin "Law" Lawson, local bar owner, Jerk Extraordinaire, and Maya's annoyingly hot arch nemesis. Let the games begin.
Law loves nothing more than getting under Maya's skin, and making those gorgeous eyes dance with irritation. But when he discovers the ex-pop star has a thing for Maya, too, Law decides he's done waiting in the wings-starting with a scorching-hot kiss. Turns out there's a thin line between hate and irresistible desire, and Maya and Law are really good at crossing it. But when things heat up, will they allow their long-standing feud to get in the way of their growing feelings?
Includes the bonus novella Once Upon a Bride!
Review
Sandcastle Beach was a fun and charming enemies-to-lovers romance. I adored Maya and Law's bantering, stare downs, and secret football screenings. I loved seeing their "dislike" for each other change throughout the story and I saw real growth in their relationship. The romance was a slow burn and the sexual tension building between those two was fire!
Overall, I enjoyed the story and how everything came together in the end for these characters.
If you're interested in a small-town romantic read, check out Sandcastle Beach! It's the third and final installment in the Matchmaker Bay series but it can be read as a standalone.
