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!

Sandcastle Beach is a small town, not-exactly-enemies to lovers story. Maya and Law have been sniping at each other for years (except when they're secretly watching Premier League football together), and now they're both competing for a town grant that would allow Law to expand his business and allow Maya to save her theatre.
It's a super enjoyable read. I've read one of the previous two books and it was delightful to see familiar characters and scenes from a new angle. The banter is good, the characters are good. The town busy bodies are kind of a lot, but I'm okay with that here.
I really liked Maya and Law's dynamic. Law's slow realization that he loves Maya is kind of delicious.
Not as heavy as the previous book, Paradise Cove, but just as good. Recommended.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
