Maybe We Will (Silver Harbor #1) by Melissa Foster is the first book in her Silver Harbor series. So much love, laughter and kindness on Silver Island. This community will have your back through thick and thin.

Abby deMessieres has broken up with her boyfriend and quit her job as a chef in New York City in order to return to her birthplace of Silver Island to run the family restaurant, The Bistro. Her mother has recently passed away and now it is time for the deMessierres sisters to decide what to do with with the business. Deirdra wants to sell off the restaurant. Even after seeing the rundown condition of the beachfront restaurant Abby still wants to reopen it. She has so many wonderful memories of the times she spent there with her long-deceased father. She believes his magic is still alive in the restaurant and Abby wants to rekindle it. The morning Abby stops by The Bistro to check it out she finds a man sitting on the patio outside of the restaurant having coffee and pastries. What? What is this guy doing here?

Aiden Aldridge has been sent to Silver Island for four weeks to rest and relax by his younger sister Remi. No work! Only play! Remi insisted that he go, set it up and even included a “to-do” list for him. With picture proof! Ride a bicycle, rest in a hammock, make a friend, go skinny dipping… Wait! What? Skinny dipping? He loves Remi but she has gone too far with that last item on this list. Aiden raised Remi after the death of their parents. He acted as her career manager and protector until her marriage. Aiden is a bona fide workaholic. Four weeks off is too much. Until he meets Abby deMessieres. His sister wants him to “get a life.” Maybe Abby is the one to make him live life fully.

Maybe We Will by Melissa Foster is the first book in her Silver Harbor series. The two main characters in this story are both workaholics. Finding each other makes them both realize that there is so much more to living a good life. I really enjoyed reading along and seeing their relationship develop. For a workaholic Aiden sure has a romantic streak a mile wide. The scene where he sets up a picnic at the local winery made my heart go pitter-patter at such a romantic gesture. Of course these two have their conflict but I feel the resolution was written perfectly. Once again Ms. Foster has entertained with lots of romance and love.

Book Info:

Publication: May 4th 2021 | Montlake |  Silver Harbor #1

From Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of She Loves Me, comes a sexy and heart-warming novel about finding love—and family—where you least expect it.

When chef Abby de Messiéres returns to Silver Island with her sister to get their late mother’s affairs in order, she expected to inherit her mother’s bistro along with their childhood home, not to discover a half sister they never knew existed, and a handsome vacationer camped out on her mother’s patio.

Workaholic Aiden Aldridge has been sent to Silver Island on a work-free vacation, armed with a “Let Loose List,” and ordered to get a life by the much-younger sister he raised after the death of their parents. After years of focusing on his sister’s well-being, he’s blindsided by his intense attraction to the gorgeous, free-spirited Abby.

Aiden might not know much about chilling out, but he’s excellent at striking deals. He helps Abby with the restaurant in exchange for her help in tackling the items on his list. Sparks fly as Aiden and Abby work, and play, side by side. Intimate conversations lead to steamy kisses and undeniable passion. But there’s more to Aiden then Abby knows, and when the truth comes out, their new romance is put to the test, as the two find out if true love really can conquer all.
