Sanity is for those without children: Maybe We Will Book Review and Giveaway

Embracing Her Heart (The Montgomerys Book 1) by [Foster, Melissa]

NEW RELEASE........
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 than 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.

My thoughts:

What an amazing start to the Silver Island series! We've visited the island before with Melissa Foster, but this book starts it off with a bang.

Abby is a chef who has returned home to Silver Island after the death of her alcoholic mom. She's returned to a dilapidated house and an even more run down restaurant, with plans to reopen it as her own. However, she and her sister soon find out they have a half sister, which throws a wrench in their plans.

Aiden is an investor who has spent his life working and raising his younger sister. She has sent him on vacation and ordered him to relax, even giving him a to do list of fun things. Yet so far he's been working as much as he can and faking his proof of fun photos to his sister.

When Abby comes upon Aiden on the patio of her restaurant, they hit it off quickly and soon Abby is helping Aiden complete his list, while he is helping her get the restaurant ready to reopen. However, will who they are be their undoing? Aiden wants to help Abby in every way, but Abby is fiercely independent, and Aiden doing things for her without asking causes major fights.

Can these two come together for a happily ever after? Aiden travels and works constantly, and Abby is tied to the community and her restaurant. Can their love overcome these seemingly insurmountable obstacles?

This book is so wonderfully romantic and lovely. It made me smile and sigh, and everything in between.

Maybe We Should (Silver Harbor)

An emotional and sexy novel about guarded hearts, finding love, and families lost and found by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will.

After spending years wondering who she was, tattoo artist Cait Weatherby finally found her answers on the sandy shores of Silver Island. With two half sisters she never knew existed, a group of friends she adores, and a devastatingly charming admirer who flirts with her at every turn, she’s ready to figure out her next steps. The trouble is, Cait lives in the shadows of a dark past, and she can’t afford complications that might cause her to lose the family she’s only just found―complications like blue-eyed boatbuilder Brant Remington, who is as open as she is guarded. If only the sexy charmer would take the hint…

Brant is Cait’s opposite in every way, but he’s drawn to everything about the sexy newcomer―from the quiet strength that rivals the caution in her mossy-green eyes to her tough facade that he can’t wait to strip away.

As Brant works his magic, Cait’s walls come down. But as sweet as that feels, Cait knows how quickly good things can turn bad. It’s going to take more than a little trust to beat the ghosts of her past and claim the future they both deserve.
