Review: Maybe We Will

Maybe We Will by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maybe We Will is the first book in the Silver Harbor series, and it was a wonderful book to start it off with. The author has a unique way of weaving characters between series so you never know which characters you will get to see again when reading one of her books and from what I understand the main characters (Abby and Aiden) were seen in a previous series. The book was paced perfectly, easy to read, and I was caught up in the story from the beginning.
Aiden Aldridge was a workaholic and never took time off for fun. His sister wanted him to relax and sent him to Silver Island with a “Let Loose List.” The list includes fun things for him to do while on vacation, but he has no desire to relax and take time off from work. At least, he not until he met Abby de Messieres.
Abby is a chef, and she returns to Silver Island when her mother died to settle her affairs. She has good memories of the family restaurant and wants to reopen it. The restaurant had been neglected over the years, but she had big dreams to revamp it.
This was a heart-warming story of sisterhood, family, friendship, compassion, and romance. I fell in love with the small town of Silver Island and all the charming characters. Abby was so sincere, full of sunshine, and always tried to see the good in a situation. She wanted to create happy memories for others just like her father did. Aiden wanted to help Abby with the restaurant, but he did not want to tell Abby how bad things really were and how much money it would require. He tried not to take over the project, but it was hard for him because he wanted her dreams to come true. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the future books in the series.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Blurb:

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.
