5 out of 5 stars
Archer and Indi were more
dynamic narrator duo Andi & AidenOverall 5 out of 5 starsPerformance 5 out of 5 starsStory 5 out of 5 starsReviewed: 05-30-22Archer Steele was the bad boy of the beginning of this series. His animosity toward his twin and the situation with the death of his best friend was toxic for more than just himself. His friends and family were feeling the divide. Indi was that something extra that brought him out of his shell. Indi and his reconnect with his family made for a better Archer. Indi was more than just the girl on a visit. She was looking for a change in her life. That change just so happen to include coming to the island for more than just a visit. Which for her and Archer meant the end of their hookups that was taking a turn in to something more. Neither of them were willing to acknowledge.Visiting Silver Island again brough back some of the characters/couples that we already fell in love with. This visit we see more of Archer and his personal world along with exploring Indi.Andi and Aiden makes for the perfect combo in their range of character voices in tone pitch and intonation. I love the range and the connection to the characters that make for a feeling of old friends and long lost family.Reasons I enjoyed this book:Easy-to-read Entertaining Page-turner Romantic Realistic Wonderful characters

    Ever since I found out that Jock was a twin, and then we meet him in Tempted by Love, I had to have his story!! Archer and Jock's relationship, as well as the relationship with their family, is so dynamic that it needed 2 books to tell it. And the way Archer came across in Jock's story, I knew his story would be fantastic!! And, of course, it was also extremely HOT!!!
    Archer and Indi have met several times before they actual start to hook-up, mainly because she's Leni's friend and has worked with the Steele women doing hair and makeup. They finally hook-up during Halloween in the vineyard and it seems to become a regular thing for them. Initially it was only suppose to be sex, which was how Archer operated. Of course, we all know it can't stay that way for long. At the beginning of this book, Indi is trying to end their arrangement but Archer isn't quite ready.
    I will say that it took me a little while to accept Archer. He was so arrogant, cocky, and quick tempered. I held on because I knew he was a Steele and all of that stuff was a front, and I'm so glad I did. This poor guy was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, but for no real reason but he felt guilty.
    I think he knew all along that Indi wasn't like his average hook-up, which is why he couldn't let her go. She really was so good for him. But she had her own problems to deal with. I truly hated her parents!!!! In my opinion, they had no redeeming qualities! But her sister and brother were wonderful. At least some of her family supported her. Indi is such a strong female character. She had dreams and she worked hard to achieve them!! And Archer helped her with her family situation wonderfully. He was so good at helping others with their issues but not so great about facing his own. That's a man for ya!!
    These 2 made the pages of this book sizzle!!!! Even though the sex was HOT, their connection was hotter! It was wonderful watching them fall in love and make a life together. It was fantastic to be back on Silver Island again!!!! I want to be a part of the Steele family!! They are amazing people, even though they aren't technically real!! I also loved the vibe of the island and how it was a community that looked out for each other with welcoming arms! We need more of that in the world!
    I highly recommend this book, and all of Melissa's books, to everyone that wants to disappear into a great book world. I can't wait for more of the Steele's on Silver Island, like Levi, Leni, and Sutton!!!!

    Archer has always been the grump. Well not always, but for the past 10 years he held his twin brother at arm’s length and everyone else. One person got under his radar, and she was the only person he wanted there, Indi. She is his sister Leni’s best friend and he had wanted her. Well for a one-night stand that is. Until the one-night stand turned into a fling, that turned into something more. As a renowned Vintner- he knew Silver Island would always be his home and he enjoyed being out on his boat when the seasons allowed it. Indi, was a makeup artist and worked fashion week. She loved traveling to Silver Island and spending time with Leni’s family, the Steeles. There she felt at home, so when it came time to find a spot for her boutique, she knew the Island was the only place for it. Even if it meant that she would finally have to stop sleeping with Archer. Archer, though, well he had other ideas.

    Melissa ever fails to bring the best stories to us. I have been itching for Archer’s book because you knew he was going to be all sorts of alpha and growly. But more so he was going to bring arrogance and dirty talking. And he 100% did! This man made me want to hit him upside the head a few times, but Indi did a great job keeping him in line. The push and pull between them just kept getting hotter and hotter until one finally burned it all down. Yet again, we get a book where you feel like you are right there with the characters, because we all want to hang out with the Silvers, Steeles and Remington’s on the island.

    I want to say I loved this book, but it was more than love. I have yet to meet a book of Melissa’s that I haven’t loved. The characters are so lifelike you feel like you know them in person. You remember them from book to book and are always cheering for them. Keep them coming Melissa.

    Indi has hooked up with moody Archer Steel again she keeps saying this is the last time but their attraction to each other just keeps bring them back together. Archer doesn’t think he’s boyfriend material so he just keep telling Indi this is a hook up and she is sort of ok with that but not really. She just has to much on her plate because she’s going to move to the island to open a shop to sell her cosmetics. But these two are getting closer and healing things about them to make their relationship better. So enjoy this good read and see if they get a HEA!!

    Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2024
    I am probably one of Melissa Foster's greatest fans. It does not matter if I like a character at the beginning of a book or not, by the end I love them. Archer Steele was not one of my favorite people, he is gruff and angry, or so I thought. Indie and him are literally 2 peas in a pod and tend to speak first, think later, but when they finally become more then fwb...wow!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2022
    Typical Melissa Foster..keeps you interested to the end even though you know it will be a HEA ending. Archer, avoids romance and commitment, burned and stinging from the past. Indi, smart mouthed, happy to accept a hookup no commitment arrangement until she realises she can't break it off. She smooths out his roughness and tolerates his aggressive manner. In turn, he thrives on her attitude and honesty towards him.
    This is a long story but not boring. It leads you slowly through their relationship and issues, building to the ending, which is fraught with problems being in the way. Loved this couple. Loved James and his prank on Indi's opening day. Loved Archer's attitude and straight talking to her parents, who are not likeable and get their comeuppance.

    Hot, Hot, Hot, wow this is one book i might avoid reading in public ad will reserve for the bedroom shelf. I absolutely loved it. The book had me laughing and cursing, Archer super hot but infuriating too and sparky Indi is an amazing woman, so beautiful inside, to work through her own family dramas and his. I love there chemistry in and out of the bedroom. Such touching moments and wonderful childhood memory's which i loved hearing through the story.
    I love Archers Family ( the Steel's) they are fantastic and I can't wait to read more about them all. I was also great to see and here about many other characters we meet in other books, the love in bloom books always make me feel like i'm there and meeting up and visiting with old friends.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2022
    Wow, there are not enough words to say how good this book is. The Silver island collection is fast becoming my favourite series. At the beginning of the book I wanted to give Archer and Indi a good shake because they couldn't see what was in front of them. They are made for each other. As you get further into the book you realize they both have ghosts from the past to let go of. I loved that the family could see a good guy in Archer and they are there for him. This is a book I will definitely read again. I have listened to this book and if definitely comes to life with the narration.
