Sandcastle Beach by Jenny Holiday

Maya came back to her hometown to follow her dream of opening a theater. But running a theater in a small town requires money, especially when the building is falling down around her ears. Renovations have eaten up all of her money and she is desperate to keep the doors open. So when the town is offering a grant to the most deserving business in town,  she's determined to get it.  But her rival for the grant is none other than arch-nemesis Ben "Law" Lawson who owns the bar across the street.  He did something years back that almost destroyed her career and her reputation and she's never been able to forgive him.  But she starts to look forward to the bickering banter every night in the bar after curtain call. Could their attraction be more than a mere inconvenience? 
I loved the easy banter and lighthearted teasing between these two. Told in dual perspectives, so you can see the feud from both sides,  the attraction seems so obvious from the outside...to the reader and especially the meddling townsfolk. This town sounds like a great place to visit, or stay to find a match of your own. 
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
