Early Book Review: Maybe We Will (Silver Harbor) by Melissa Foster

Maybe We Will is the first book in the Silver Harbor series by Melissa Foster, however does have ties to many of her other series. While fans will enjoy seeing past characters make appearances, each can stand fine on its own.  It is currently scheduled for release on May 4 2021. 

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.

Maybe We Will is a book that offered a Aiden his happy ever after, which I have been waiting for. I liked the characters and the way they came together. I liked their families and how the community came together- using new characters and returning characters from previous books. This blend of newer characters and returning favorites will help new readers enjoy the read as much as long time fans. I did think it was a little heavier on the sweet and sappy conversations, and more predictable with the conflict, but maybe it is simply because I have read too many of Foster's books in too short a time. On the other hand, I really want to find out what happens with some of the secondary characters from this story. I want to see more characters find their love story and happy ending. I enjoyed the read, I just did not find it as engaging and all consuming as I normally find Foster's book. This could very well be because of how scattered my mind is lately, or that I need to take a short break and revisit Foster's books when I really need one.  

Maybe We Will is a good romance, and I think fans will want to read it.
