Trouble Brewing

August 1, 2018
As America's love of craft beer continues to grow, it's about time that its possibilities were mined for romance! Piper has a singular dream?to turn her beer company into the next hit brewery. She thinks that nothing can stand in her way, at least not until she meets Blake Reed, the owner of a gastropub she hopes will sell her product. The attraction between the two is instant, irresistible, and intense, but Piper knows that if the insular and male-dominated world of Minneapolis brewers finds out they're together, they'll assume the worst. She wants people to know that her success comes from hard work and good beer, not through bed-hopping. When Piper is suddenly offered an amazing opportunity out of state at the same time as her disastrous first meeting with Blake's parents, she must decide if she can have it all or if she must give up her love to achieve her dream. Funny and full of great characters, Baltsar's debut seems primed to launch a series pairing up other beer-adjacent people in the book.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
