Maybe We Should

Silver Harbor, Book 2

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: Savannah Peachwood, Aaron Shedlock

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.

“This nimbly plotted, captivating romance will have readers cheering every bit of progress its central couple makes.”—Publishers Weekly

5 Stars

5 "Love like every minute is the only one you'll ever get" Stars

WOW, Just WOW. I thought, operative word there - thought, I was finally going to get through one of Melissa Foster's books without needing tissues but nope, I was wrong I did need them but thankful not an entire box full like I have with some of her other books.

Cait Weatherby has been a bit of a mystery she's always quiet and kind of closed off. In MAYBE WE WILL Cait is summoned to Silver Harbor for the reading of her mother's will, her birth mother's that is. Kate was adopted and has always known but didn't know the circumstances on why she was given up for adoption, she finds the answer to this question and many more in this heartbreaking story.

Brant Remington is a charmer, and I loved it, the way he's flirted with Cait from the moment they met was great and it shows his determination that he never once gave up on her no matter how many times she told him it wasn't going to happen. He knew there was something special about her and he was willing to keep trying until she finally said yes.

Cait and Brant have great chemistry together, even if they are like yin and yang. Just goes to show that everyone has a perfect puzzle piece out there it's just a matter of time before you'll find them.

Melissa Foster is one of my favorite authors and It's no surprise that she is because if anyone can write as many books as she has and keep each and every story so very different and evoke emotions for a multitude of reasons, well, how can you not be a huge fan then?

I listened to the audiobook version of this book and absolutely loved the way Savannah Peachwood and Aaron Shedlock brought Cait and Brant to life. If you have a choice in which way to enjoy this book, I would recommend listening to it - you won't be disappointed.

Would I recommend this book? Heck yeah I would!
To Whom? Everyone! Especially those that enjoy Steamy Contemporary Romances, Small Town Romances, Grumpy/Sunshine Romances or Slow Burn Romances. Even though Cait appears in the first book of the series that book does not have to be read in order to enjoy this one, this can be read as a standalone.

Happy Listening!!!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Contemporary Romance

Maybe We Should by Melissa Foster is a contemporary romance that I listened to on audio narrated Savannah Peachwood and Aaron Shedlock. This is the second book in the Silver Harbor series.

I absolutely love Melissa's books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the story and always leaves me with a smile. I really enjoyed the relationship between Cait and Brant. I loved how patient and supportive Brant was with Cait.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Maybe We Won't to be released on April 26, 2022 so I can get Deirdra and Jagger's story.

Savannah and Aaron did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life, and I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this series if you love romance books. It will give you all the feels!

Cute story, great performance

I stumbled upon this series and I’m only two books in but really enjoying it so far! I definitely want to read everyone else’s books as well. The storyline does involve some heavier topics (child abuse) so please be advised this may not be a carpool type audio experience.

I love Aaron Shedlock, was very excited when I heard his voice. Knew based off that I would enjoy the audio performance. Savannah was wonderful as well!

love this book

I love how this story is about how love can get you through some of hard things in life.

Definitely You Should…

Wonderful story by Melissa Foster.
DEFINITELY YOU SHOULD read this story! Complete friends to lovers and happily ever after!!
Every story makes me anxiously anticipate the next one!!

Confronting the past to move forward

Cait didn’t have the best childhood…well, mot since her adoptive mother died when she was 4yo. Her adoptive father was abusive and Cait ran away at 16. She recently discovered that her birth mother had passed away and she has some half sisters. Cait is still emotionally closed off but Brant Remmington intends to break down those walls. Cait has to confront her past before she can move forward to a great future.

Maybe We Should

In Maybe We Should, Foster wielded her magic and created a story, which will tug at your heartstring and  have you shedding a tear or two.

I have been looking forward to Cait Weatherby and Brant Remington's story ever since their introduction in Maybe We Will. An air of mystery surrounded Cait, which made me eager to learn her story. In Maybe We Will, she discovered she had siblings, whom she has grown close with since. She knew she had been adopted, but was never aware of the circumstances behind adoption. This information came to light in this installment of the Silver Harbor series. 

From the moment Brant met Cait, he knew she was the woman of his dreams. However, it would seem his flirtations and charming personality had no effect on her. He knew he needed to convince her they were meant for each other. Giving up was not an option.

As fate would have it, Cait’s attempt to save an adorable dog from drowning provided the perfect opportunity for them to get closer.

The chemistry between Cait and Brant leapt from the pages. It could not be denied, no matter how much Cait tried to running from it. I loved how patient Brant was with her. He wanted to be with her, but he chose not to push until she was ready. With his charm, patience and understanding, he slowly chipped away at the wall which encased her heart.

The revelation of Cait’s past was heartbreaking. Despite the pain suffered in the past, she stayed strong. I admired her bravery in confronting the person responsible for the pain and hurt. Her actions showed how much she had grown.

Maybe We Should, is another wonderful story in the Silver Harbor series. It introduced characters to whom readers can relate. The romance featured was well developed and authentic. One cannot help but root for this couple as they work through their issues. 

Narration

Savannah Peachwood and Aaron Shedlock narrated. Both are new to me. I thought their voices complemented each other. I believed they did a wonderful job of bringing Cait and Brant to life, and they both added emotion into their narration.

Conclusion/Recommendation

Overall, Maybe We Should delivered a wonderful romantic story, which fulfilled my need for a heartwarming romance. A story which romance readers will appreciate for its charm and for the emotions it will evoke.
