Forgetting playboy Wells Silver was supposed to be easy. If only he didn’t make it impossible.
Secrets are made on the sandy shores and in the sweet small towns of Silver Island, where friendships run deep, passions run hot, and the sexy Silvers are considered island royalty. Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right in and devour this fun, steamy romance.
Being born into the Silver empire comes with certain expectations, but charming restaurant owner Wells Silver has always taken pleasure in breaking the rules—in his personal and his professional life.
Victoria Braden never expected to become a widow at thirty-two, much less still be trying to figure out how to move on five years later. She’d planned to drown her sorrows in alcohol on what would have been her anniversary, not flirt with trouble and lose herself in a night of passion with Silver Island royalty, playboy Wells Silver. Forgetting Wells was supposed to be easy. But apparently the pushy player didn’t get the memo.
Tropes: He falls first, age gap, widow heroine, opposites attract
While you’re waiting for more Silver family love stories, get to know the sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets.
The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FLIRTING WITH TROUBLE (The Silvers of Silver Island, #1) . . . Irresistible Flirtation Meets Unbreakable Walls: The Silvers Arrive!
Melissa Foster launches her new Silvers of Silver Island series with a captivating romance that is pure magic! FLIRTING WITH TROUBLE introduces us to a new family and a hero who is instantly unforgettable.
"The impossible flirt meets the wall of a strong woman and her respect for herself." This pinpoints the delicious tension at the heart of this story. Wells Silver, the charming and seemingly carefree brother, is the life of every party. He's an expert at irresistible flirtation, but he meets his absolute match in Victoria.
Victoria is a woman who deeply values her self-respect and is completely immune to Wells’s famous charm. She’s strong, grounded, and absolutely not looking for trouble—especially not the handsome, silver-tongued kind. Their initial sparks fly with a mix of frustration and undeniable chemistry as Wells works hard to break through the impenetrable defenses Victoria has carefully constructed.
This book is a beautiful blend of steam, emotional depth, and the familiar, warm family bonds that Melissa Foster does so well. Watching Wells finally get serious and put in the work to show Victoria he's more than just a passing fancy is incredibly rewarding. Victoria and Wells Silver have their chance to shine in a story about what happens when you risk your heart for the one person who challenges everything you thought you wanted.
If you love a charismatic hero who is forced to grow up for his strong, no-nonsense heroine, jump right into the beautiful world of Silver Island!
