Maybe We Will by Melissa Foster

This book is such a fantastic romance. Abby and Aiden's story is one that I couldn't put down. The romance was overflowing from this story and felt like a fairytale. As someone who loves fairytales this book has become a favorite of mine. I wish Silver Island was real so I could visit. I definitely recommend reading this book.

I adored this book! I originally picked it up because I missed Silver Island but then I fell in love with Abby, her sisters, and Aiden. 

Abby is a chef who comes home to Silver Island to get her late mother's affairs in order. When she gets there, she and her sister find out they have a half-sister. I really liked how well the three girls fit together and how Abby and Dierdre embraced Cait as their family. One of the first days back on the island, Abby also meets Aiden, who's on a forced vacation. 

This was an extra bonus for me because I really enjoyed Aiden's sister - Remi Divine - in The Real Thing. Where she was the gorgeous actress in that one, she's more of a sweet and caring sister who just wants her workaholic brother to relax. 

Abby and Aiden are perfect for each other! He is so supportive of her as she's going about restoring her parents' restaurant and I think he's part of the reason she's able to connect with Cait so well, too. Their romance is fast, intense, and I absolutely loved it! 

Maybe We Will is the perfect start to a beautiful new series and I'm eager to continue with Cait's love story.

Book one in Silver Harbor series is off to an excellent start. We meet two very different workaholics who through happenstance find their way to each other. The protective nature for Aiden Aldridge comes into play when he meets Abby de Messiéres while he's supposed to be relaxing on an enforced vacation. And when he finds out more as to why she's back on the island he's find something other than work that sparks his interests. With Abby focusing on putting her life to rights and dealing with unexpected circumstances she's willing to take a cautious step towards experiences with Aiden. Now then simply need to trust in the bricks they are building towards their foundation for the future.

There was nothing inherently wrong with this book, but I found Aiden incredibly annoying. I did listen on audio so I’m not sure if it was the narrator or what. The last 10-15% I did read and I was still annoyed with him. I felt like the book was way too long.

I wanted to love this one, and even though I feel like all the books that I have read my Melissa Foster are very formulaic I really thought that I might love this one. However it was just okay. I was kind of disappointed to be honest. We are introduced to Aiden in book one of the Sugar Lake series, and he seems like such a serious, take no crap business guy. He has a huge heart (as he gave up his dreams to take care of his 12 year old sister when he was 24), and is described as such a hot guy and I got "most eligible bachelor" vibes from him. I don't think that he lived up to my expectations. Like I said I feel like these books follow a very certain formula, and I knew that it would be insalovey, BUT I feel like that instalove changed everything about Aiden. He is a man who has never been in love, and has not wanted to be in a relationship and day one of meeting this random girl he's pulling out all the stops. I won't lie he was very swoony, but it was too much too soon in my option as this book took place over a month. I liked Abby enough as a heroine, I love her determination, commitment and her love for her family and friends, but she sometimes read as childish to me. As far as the relationship and steam it is what I have come to realize is typical Melissa Foster. Very instalove (again this book took place over just one month), decent banter, lots of steam, some funny moments and a HEA that should have been a HFN (IMO). Just like every other book I've read by this author we are introduced to about an entire small town, and I'm not sure if my time is just done with this author right now, but I didn't particularly care about any of them. The second book in the series comes out soon, and it is about Cait which I may read someday, but I'm in no hurry. And because I think these books are so formulaic/predictable I can predict who the 3rd book will be about and who her love interest will be (I will keep an eye out just to see if I'm right). I had to laugh looking at my read shelf and seeing six Melissa Foster books in a row. Looking at that you would think that she was my favorite author or that I loved these books so much, but ultimately they are just quick reads, and I know exactly what I am going to get out of them. They are not my favorite books, but I do enjoy my time with them, I love being able to catch up the the Dalton family from the previous two series and mostly I love that they are in KU with audible.

I adored Aiden and Abby’s story and it was the perfect start to a new series. I laughed, I cried, and I experienced every emotion in between. This book is a great example of why Melissa is a go-to author for me!

This was the sweetest book! It was like Hallmark movie meets a little bit of smut. I did get bored toward the end but it was a super sweet book!

You can love your family but also acknowledge that they damaged you.
Both of the mains are lovely and easy to picture.
