Maybe We Will (Silver Harbor Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,238 ratings

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.

5 out of 5 stars
I'm so happy Aiden get his HEA
We are back on Silver Island and I couldn't be happier, MAYBE WE WILL is Abby de Messiéres and Aiden Aldridge's story.Aiden is a workaholic, he has spent most of his adult life raising his younger sister after their parents died in an accident and now that she's an adult he has thrown himself into working non-stop. So much so his sister has made him take a much needed vacation and has given him a to do list of fun things so he will not be tempted to work while he is supposed to be relaxing.Abby had lived on the island until she left for culinary school, but, now her mother has passed away so she and her sister are back to figure out what to do with everything. There are a couple of surprises left behind by her mother and one of them is life changing....a half sister they knew nothing about!The Meet-Cute with Aiden and Abby was just that - cute and funny! I loved the chemistry they had and the way they felt so comfortable around one another pretty quickly. This was not an insta-love story but there definitely was insta-lust. 😉I listened to the audiobook version of this book and loved it. Aiden Snow and Jennifer Mack did a wonderful job with bringing this story to life. If you listen to audiobook's I would recommend grabbing this one, your ears and heart will thank you for it.This is a perfect read for anyone that enjoys Steamy Contemporary Romances with a bit of an age gap (ten years). You may need a few tissues but it's not a tearjerker, I would recommend a tall glass of ice water though because you will need it to cool off every now and then.Happy Reading!!!

    I have been trying to come up with the correct words to describe this book and I still don't have them, but I need to leave a review. This book was amazing, fabulous, astounding, fantastic, wonderful, touching, and all consuming!!!! Those words don't even scratch the surface of how this book made me feel.
    Melissa Foster is the kind of author that me, as a reader, gets extremely excited when I know she's writing another book in a series. This means I get to go back to where ever fictional place these characters live to spend time with them again!! AND, the best part, a lot of these characters I met in other books from other series that she wrote!!! I literally feel like they are my family too!! I LOVE the feeling of community with her books, like it's a reunion every time she releases another book!
    This book is the first in her Silver Harbor series, yet I knew most of the characters who reside on Silver Island because I've met them before. And it made me so happy to revisit with them!! Our hero is Aiden Aldridge, Remi's big brother from This is Love - the second book in the Harmony Pointe series. If you read that book then you know that Aiden pretty much gave up his life to raise is sister after their parents death and make sure her dreams came true. He is selfless in that respect but also a workaholic with no social life. Remi now has her HEA and wants Aiden to find his, so she sends him on a month long vacation to Silver Island with a "to do" list so he can relax. I actually love the idea of the list because it sounded fun to me!!
    Abby has come back to Silver Island to take care of things after her mother's passing. She is also in a rut with her own life and hoping for inspiration from the island. Her parents owned and operated a restaurant, The Bistro, on the island but it's really run down and needs a lot of work. Her mother left it and her house to her daughters equally. Abby's older sister, Deirdra, is a corporate lawyer in Boston and has a chip on her shoulder when it comes to their mom. She's also a "glass half empty" kind of girl. She wants to sell everything and cut their losses. Abby can't do that. She sees the memories and "magic" in the restaurant and their old house, and can't let them go. She also finds out at the reading of the Will that she has another sister!! Her mother had a child as a teenager and was forced to give her up. Cait comes into their lives and, personally, I loved her!
    It's when Abby is out for a run to destress, that she meets Aiden. He's sitting on the deck of The Bistro reading a newspaper and having breakfast at a table that he brought out there. This was one of the most cutest "meet cutes" I've ever read!! Things go from there. I loved watching their relationship bloom from such a cute start. They really complemented each other and helped each other grow. And their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS!!!! They were truly meant for each other!!!!
    The secondary characters were amazing and really not secondary at all!!! I LOVE SILVER ISLAND and would love to live there!!! Yeah, I said it!! The Steele's and the Silver's are just amazing families! It was great to see Jules, Grant, Jock, Daphne, Leni, Sutton, Will, Brant Remington, Shelley, Lenore, Kiera, and the Bra Brigade!! I have to say that Shelley Steele won my heart in this book!! She is a fantastic mother, as well as a fantastic mother figure! The talks she had with Abby just filled my heart with so much love for her! I loved Deirdra, but from a distance. What I mean is she's just such a cynical person. I realize that comes with being a lawyer and what she went through with her mother, but she needs to take it down a notch! I absolutely LOVED Cait!! She's such a wonderful addition to the family. She's shy but not, she's willing to pitch in, and she's so happy to have found her family. I can't wait for her story!!!
    I loved this book, if you couldn't tell, and would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!!! While you're at it, read all of Melissa's books - you'll be a fan for life if you do!!!!

    This Could have been a solid 5 star read. I was so mad at Abby for her unrealistic expectations of Aiden. She twisted off on him unrealistically. He had done nothing but show how great he was, and the chemistry between them was perfectly done by the author. The "conflict" was so stupid. It almost had me not finishing at about 88%. The story was a little too long, but was well done. It flowed well. Beginning to end, Aiden was a romantic, giving and thoughtful partner. He changed so much and she changed nothing. This could have been a perfect romance book. I liked Abby most of the time. Standalone with no cliffhanger. Lots of steam, romance and fun. Dreams coming true and an HEA.

    I absolutely loved Maybe We Will by Melissa Foster, it is an incredible love at first sight love story. It is the first book in her Silver Harbor series. Melissa Foster proved that she is an amazing storyteller. I could not put Maybe We Will down and I loved every moment on every page. Who doesn't love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families and friends, who always support one another? I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. One of my favorite parts of the story is how Melissa Foster incorporates the name of the book into the love story, with the name of a song. Maybe We Will is a love at first sight love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud. My favorite moments are the ones that pull at my heartstrings that cause me to sigh, as I read the heartbreaking moments. Maybe We Will is filled with such moments, and with so much emotion. It is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a love story, Melissa Foster did not disappoint, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Maybe We Will is the story of Aiden Aldridge, billionaire and owner of DRA Capital and Abigail “Abby” de Messieres, chef. Abby and her older sister, Deirdra return to Silver Harbor following the unexpected death of their mother, Ava to begin to settle her estate. They also discovered Cait Weatherby, their half-sister, they never knew existed. Abby and Aiden meet when Abby encounters him sitting at a table outside of their family-owned restaurant, Bistro following a morning run. Aiden does not reveal to Abby his real identity or the reason he is sitting outside the closed restaurant. They continue this morning ritual which includes pastries and coffee. I love the nicknames they give each other. Aiden reveals the reason he is in Silver Harbor, he is on a vacation that was arrange by his sister Remi, which includes a “Let Loose List” of things that he needs to accomplish on vacation. Aiden asks Abby for her assistance in accomplishing the tasks. Conversation between Abby and Aiden flows so easily, I love that both Abby and Aiden share secrets with one another that they have not shared with anyone before, especially the secrets that Aiden shares about his parents’ deaths. As Abby and Aiden spend time together, things change between them and they both admit their true feelings for one another. I loved that Maybe We Will is a more than just a romance, there are dilemmas that both Abby and Aiden are facing that need to be resolved. An unexpected plot twist changes things between Abby and Aiden. I love how it gets so beautifully resolved. I love how all the bittersweet moments that were revealed when Aiden was looking at the books for the Bistro. I love all the things that Aiden secretly did for Abby to help make her dreams come true. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Maybe We Will the characters feel like family and friends. I loved all the characters in Maybe We Will and I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Who doesn’t love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Maybe We Will, who doesn’t love a love at first sight love story. Highly recommend this incredible love story and am so looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

    Abby and Aiden met, fell for each other and - including some hiccups along the way - just might get their HEA. The fact that I couldn’t quite get into Abby’s character while listening to the story doesn’t make it a bad story. So it’s still 5* from me.
