 MAYBE WE WON’T
Silver Harbor, #3
Melissa Foster
Releasing April 26th 2022
Montlake Romance


BLURB
A sexy and soul-stirring novel about love, family, and rediscovering what matters most by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will.


When workaholic Boston attorney Deirdra de Messiéres is passed over for a well-deserved promotion, she takes a two-month hiatus to show her boss just how much he needs her and heads home to Silver Island. But beyond seeing her sisters happy, home is not where Deirdra’s heart is. She has no interest in their family restaurant, the Bistro, or reliving hurtful childhood memories, and absolutely no interest in spending a single second with Josiah “Jagger” Jones, the Bistro’s too-laid-back musician and chef. Sure, the hippie is hot, but he drives her nuts. The guy lives in a van with his dog, and he can’t even commit to a solid work schedule. To make matters worse, he’s always around. She needs to get off the island, stat.


Jagger has overcome his own personal trials to place stock in life’s pleasures: family, friends, peace…and if he has his way, one positively beautiful, absolutely uptight attorney. Jagger knows he’s the perfect person to help Deirdra deal with her hurtful past and find her way back to being happy.


A chance encounter leads to deep conversation, and night after liberating night, Deirdra lets down her guard. But neither is long for Silver Island. Free-spirited Jagger has wanderlust, and Deirdra has a career to return to. They’re on different paths, and plans for a future together don’t stand a chance. But when has anything gone according to plan?

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . MAYBE WE WON'T (Silver Harbor, #3) . . . Silver Harbor had much to share with the world. With this installment we get Deirdra de Messiéres. In the first we got baby sister Abby with Aiden an outsider and the introduction of a sister neither daughter of the de Messiéres knew about. Then in the second installment we get the unknown sister, Cait with hometown boy Brant. Now, we get to see more of the tough girl, workaholic, protector of her sisters, no nonsense Deirdra. 

Deirdra came back home to be with her family only as a temporary fix to the disappointment she felt over losing a promotion she thought should have been hers. While back at home she sees all the the things she had been missing. The connections that made home home. She missed the little things that made her sisters relationships the glue. She did not miss the hippy boy that was now in the know of her family and friends. She did not miss Dolly putting her nose in places it should not go. She missed the clear way life should go and the order it should be in. 

Jagger was a different kind of man. He was free. He was wise. He was him. Open, kind, smart, funny, sexy, and young. What was it about him that really rubbed Deirdra the wrong way. Or was it the right way and she just was too stubborn to realize it. 

It started with a peek. Then a little conversation. Then a kiss. With each little something it all lead to the impossible. Deirdra and Jagger. The something that worked for them. The impossible to something possible.

Genre: YA Fantasy


   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE UNDISCOVERED DESCENDANTS (Nordri, #1) . . . One fantasy filled ride in another world that you will not soon forget. The vivid imagery came right off the audio and straight to the brain to create a vibrant moving picture. Jo Visuri, I have to say nice to meet your work. I will be looking forward to the next release of this series. And to Hana Lass, thank you for introducing me to your voice and voice work. You did a fab job with allowing me to connect to the characters and the world through your voice (pitch, tone, diction, and more).

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Jo Visuri. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
 


A captivating real-world fantasy adventure filled with intrigue, suspense, Norse mythology, magical objects, and special abilities, Jo Visuri's best-selling tale will sweep you away to mystical Auor Island - where nothing is quite as it seems! 

A remote island. Old secrets. And a cascade of unintended consequences. Long ago, four clans from earth's four corners were given magical abilities to help save humanity from oblivion. For generations, their descendants have lived in hidden communities and occasionally intermingled with regular humans—leading to whispers of unforeseen consequences. Now, in the present-day and for unknown purposes, one Clan quietly and desperately seeks the rumored, undiscovered offspring. 

Meanwhile, in the heart of a northern archipelago, Elin Bodil leads a perfectly ordinary, happy life on Auor Island with her family. When, through accident and circumstance, she meets both a motorcycle-driving stranger and the new mysterious boy next door, Elin's world is turned upside down. As Elin is drawn into a brewing supernatural conflict - with her two unusual acquaintances on opposite sides, she must decipher who to trust while unearthing her island's secrets and those buried deep within herself. But when the search for answers triggers the Clan's sinister schemes, Elin and her companions will have to confront far bigger and deadlier secrets than they ever imagined. And they'll need much more than themselves to survive! Welcome to Auor Island - and the legend and magic within its ruins! 

Told from the perspective of Elin and her two unusual acquaintances, the best-selling first-in-series book blends Norse myth, magic, adventure, science fiction, and fantasy with a touch of romance. Delighting listeners of all ages, The Undiscovered Descendants is perfect for fans of real-world fantasy adventures with heart and tales of family, friendship, secret societies, hidden worlds, and magic powers.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . MIRRORS AND MYSTERIES (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum, #9) . . . Hello all, we are back. Grayson and Dex cannot seem to catch a break. They are tasked with finding answers to questions or losing everything. We find and ending to one pair to move on to another pair in the Fairy Tales of the Magicorum. Christina Bauer have such a fantastic imagination and she brings it all to life on the pages of the various stories she gives. You feel a connection with the characters and places. I am ready for the next couple and the next adventure in the Magicorum. I just may need to go back to the beginning and start all over with the stories that lead us to this point. 

What I love most is that way that Christina gets you involved in the world of fairy tales and classics with spins from the current world around us. I love the relatability of the characters and their circumstances.
