First Impressions
Maybe We Should is the second book in her Silver Harbor trilogy and this is Cait’s book. Cait is one of the three sisters that we got introduced to in the first book “Maybe We Will” and I was really curious about how her story would evolve. She is very resistant to the hero so it’s definitely an unrequited love, but as I absolutely loved the first book I just knew that this one would be a win for me and it definitely was. This book was such a comfortable read and what I love about Melissa Foster and her style of writing is how she can pull you into a story and her characters become so relatable. They have such a human touch to them, so much so you feel like they could be your neighbor down the street and I really love seeing such realism in these characters. I also really loved seeing this town again and all of the characters that I fell in love with in book one. The sisters are such fun together but we also get some fun characters from the Bayside MC series which was a delight as well.
Summary
Cait Weatherby is an artist and tattooist. and she has a past that is painful and causes her to struggle with trusting others. But she is determined to move on with her life and find peace and safety here in Silver Harbor. When she sees a puppy drowning and goes in after him, and almost dies herself, she is rescued by the last man she expected….Brant Remington. Brant is a man that goes after what he wants, and he knows that Cait is the woman for him. But she is highly resistant and he knows he just needs to be patient and let herself begin to trust him, he has good instincts and he knows that the connection between himself and Cait is real and worth fighting for. Cait knows that there is an attraction and connection she has with Brant, but she also has fears and even though she understands that Brant is a good man with an honest heart and would protect her, she also knows that she can’t control her fears. But as she and Brant begin to spend more time together, and a slow trust begins to form, Cait will have to learn to face her fears if she wants a future with the man she loves…
What I Loved
This book was everything that I had expected and more. I really wanted so much for this pair to find their way together and from the first few pages, I was really drawn into the story. I fell so hard for Brant, he is one of those heroes that you would marry if they were real. I just love how honest and caring he is, he is such a flirt but confident in himself, and knows what he wants and goes after it. I adored the way that he is with his family and the tender patient care he is with Cait. He stands his ground and doesn’t let her push him away and I really admired the way in which he does it too. There is such healthy boundaries that are focused on in their relationship, and that Brant understands when to push and when to let Cait work through her issues. I really admired the manner in which the romance was developed. It had such heart in it all the way through. I was cheering for these two from the very beginning. Cait is stubborn but you also see much of what she does is from her past and working her way past it. My heart ached for Cait but I also admired her strength of will to move past what happened and carve out a good future for herself. There was so much intensity that is balanced with deep emotion and with a mix of humor to really bring a beautiful balance to the story.
What I Struggled With
The only aspect is the pacing was off about 50-60% in the story. I don’t know if it was just me (probably as I was super tired) or if it was the actual pacing of the story but I did have to push myself a bit to keep reading but the last 1/3 of the story really picked up.
Overall View
I found Maybe We Should to be a superb installment that feeds the reader with plenty of sexy chemistry, good-natured humor, and plenty of heart to bring a satisfying gem!!!

Life is generous. It gives us a series of worries, but you can’t let those worries steal the joy that life lays out before you.”

Because you’re not broken, Cait. Your trust has been abused by broken people. There’s a big difference.”

“You don’t need luck,” he whispered against her lips. “You have me, and I’ve always got you.”
