Yours After Dark

Gansett Island Series, Book 20

By: Marie Force

Narrated by: Joan Delaware

He didn’t believe in love at first sight.... Until it happened to him.

Finn McCarthy, the youngest of the McCarthy cousins, is at a crossroads. As the lease on his Gansett Island rental comes to an end, he's making plans to return to his “real” life on the mainland. He’s enjoyed the nearly two years on Gansett with his boisterous fun-loving family, but it’s time to get back to the life he put on hold when he came to the island for his cousin’s wedding - and never left. With renovations to the Wayfarer, the family’s latest business endeavor, all but completed and the grand opening slated for Memorial Day weekend, the time is right to make a move. That is, until he stops by the local salon for a quick trim that turns his life plan upside down....

Chloe Dennis, owner of the Curl Up and Dye Salon, is about to close the shop after another ordinary day when Finn McCarthy walks in and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Holy hotness! How has she never met the youngest of the McCarthys, and now that she has met him, why is it that she runs into him everywhere she goes?

Despite the undeniable sizzle of attraction between Finn and Chloe, she is dealing with life-changing news that makes her reluctant to get involved with anyone, let alone a man who plans to leave the island for good in two short weeks. Finn can’t understand why he reacts to Chloe the way he does or why she won’t give him a chance to see what they could be. When she makes it clear that it’s not going to happen between them, what else can he do but go forward with his plan to pack up and leave at the end of the month? Unless the push-pull of undeniable desire makes them forget the many reasons why this could be a bad idea....

Return to Gansett Island for another visit with all the series regulars and to find out if Finn and Chloe can overcome the obstacles that stand between them and the possibility of true love. Catch up with Mac, Maddie, Adam, Abby, Riley, Nikki, Blaine, and Tiffany; attend Shane and Katie's wedding; and find out what happens when Blaine’s troubled brother Deacon comes to the island. Get ready for another hot, sexy summer on Gansett Island!

Love at first sight

Finn McCarthy is the last of the McCarthy family who hasn't fallen in love. He's ready to leave the island and get back to his "real life". His male relatives make fun of his man bun so he decides to get a haircut at the only salon on the island instead of waiting for a barber. Chloe Dennis owns and operates the salon. They have a meeting of the heads - literally - and Finn realizes that he needs to know Chloe much better. She doesn't want to get involved because he's leaving in 2 weeks and she had health problems that she's not letting anyone know about. Try as they might, they can't stay away from each other. Add in Finn's crazy ex and they have quite a journey ahead of them. I love how Marie Force lets us see what's happening with the other McCarthy family members and doesn't make the story just about Finn and Chloe. There's a hint of the next story at the end and I can't wait for it! Joan Delaware does a wonderful narration as usual.

She’s done it again

Marie has an amazing way of bringing attention to issues that many of us are silently dealing with, yet maintains the love story. Giving us hope and a happy feeling inside. The story of Finn and Chloe takes us back to Gansett for another riveting story of love at first sight and an in-depth revisit to all of the residents of Gansett Island.
