Flirting with trouble was a cute Pallet cleanser. The characters were fun and likable. Their background and how they grew up was different/unique which I liked.
Wells, the MMC is pretty easygoing, and a known playboy, but he’s drawn to Victory, The FMC. He takes the time to actually get to know her and brings her out of her day to day life she’s been stuck in.
Victory, who is a widow starts to kind of find herself again after spending time with Wells who at first inserts himself into her life after a hookup. He’s thoughtful, kind and patient with her while she navigates her own feelings about finding love after loss.

Melissa Foster writes a heartwarming story about two characters learning the difference between list and love. Victory and Wells the two main characters insist they aren’t looking for a long term relationship. The FMC victory is in agreement to the one night stand proposition she receives. But things between victory and Wells don’t go as planned. Both Victory and Wells are likable because they are honest about what they want verse what they discover. The character driven narrative of victory and Wells story is slow and steady but obvious. For how Wells and Victory are written it works. This is a duel point for view with intriguing and compelling plot. Melissa fosters writing is exceptional. Trope found in Flirting with trouble are : age gap (she’s older), reformed playboy, cutthroat ceo, just a fling, she’s a widow, he falls first, small town antics, all the feels, and fast burn spice. While the spice is early the building of the relationship beyond a fling is slower burn. highly recommend flirting with trouble it well worth the read weather you returning for new Melissa foster novel or new to reading the author.

Wells and Victory.
These two were so extraordinarily beautiful. I loved the reverse age gap to this book, it was different. The book felt mature because as much as he was younger that didn't make him any less smart and mature. I loved their relationship. Victory had gone through grief, better yet, was going through grief and she was scared of betraying him. It was pretty obvious though that she was not madly inlove but madly in like with Wells, I mean who wouldn't be right? The man is swoonworthy. And she did what any normal person scared to face love again would do. She ran. And yeah he was distraught and she was missing him. She did something that was out of box for her, she wasn't planning it that way, but it just ALL came out and it was *chefs kiss*. From that day on, they were inseparable and his family loved her and her family loved him. It was just amazing. Can we talk about that epilogue though? Oh I can't but trust me it was over the top sweet and FULL. OF. HEART. There was one thing I would change and it's when she did it before him, I'm not a fan of do that BUT Wells being Wells, had the same plan as her and I loved it.
Overall I give this book a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. The book was perfect in every way and I just loved seeing the ups and downs and the struggles and more than those I loved the growth. They both had things they had to grow apart from and they did for each other. They realized that life was just passing them by before they met each other and after you know. They were fantastic and their chemistry was *chefs kiss* They are just that couple that they meet and they just know that that's it for them. And while they might have the struggles and fear, they definitely work on themselves to make the relationship work and they just have their own communication. They were just the cutest and sweetest and they completed each other.
This series will be one of my faves for sure and I can't wait for the other books and to see Wells and Victory again.

𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 is the first book in the new Silvers at Silver Island series by Melissa Foster, featuring a spicy summer romance for Wells and Victory! I love a good reformed playboy arc, and when Wells was ready to fall he fell 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥! No one deserved another chance at love more than a widow who has kept herself closed off for 5 years! The fiery chemistry Victory generated with her younger “boy toy” was oh-so-hot and immensely entertaining! They brought all the banter and the feels, as they built their relationship through sweet moments, passion, understanding, fun family meddling, and small town antics. Wells impressed me with his romantic side, and I loved how respectful he was of her emotional vulnerabilities. I also loved that Victory was truly a boss in business and a total inspiration as a woman. I couldn’t get enough of them, and I’m so ready to see where this new series in this interconnected world goes!
I received an ARC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

✨ARC Review✨
This was my first Melissa Foster book, and l'm about to go broke reading her backlist. 😂 I loved Wells so much. He was so patient and understanding with Victory. Never pushed her or pushed her just enough. Honestly, this book was so refreshing with how they communicated with each other. I can't get enough of it.
Big thanks to The Author Agency and Melissa Fosters for the ARC.

I love when a book title holds special meaning, and Melissa Foster’s Flirting With Trouble does just that. Enter Wells Silver— sexy restaurateur looking to expand, and completely enamored with Victory “Vic” Braden. Sparks fly, hearts slowly open, and yes… the chemistry is scorching once they stop fighting it!
Well’s quiet strength gives Vic the courage to finally believe that she deserves love for herself in one of the book’s most powerful scenes. I just love how Wells slowly but surely shows Vic that he is truly not the guy she thinks he is and that their age-gap is not that big of an issue. Wells is definitely not the man neither I or Vic thought he was. I’m really intrigued at how thoughtful, caring, and head-over-heels Wells is for Vic. He’s a very special man.
With unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and a whole lot of heart, Flirting With Trouble is another hit in The Silvers at Silver Island series—and a perfect blend of family, love, and proving your worth.

I loved this book. Wells was the perfect guy. He was fun, flirty, confident, and sweet. Victory aka Victoria felt real and relatable. It was nice to read a romance where the woman needs to do some soul searching. The best part of this story is the fact that Victory took action and made changes to follow her heart, for herself- not for a man. Melissa Foster always has the best family and sibling dynamics in her books. The pranks were amazing! I was smiling the whole time I was reading this book. I cannot reccommend it enough.
