Description
An emotional and sexy novel about guarded hearts, finding love, and families lost and found by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will.
After spending years wondering who she was, tattoo artist Cait Weatherby finally found her answers on the sandy shores of Silver Island. With two half sisters she never knew existed, a group of friends she adores, and a devastatingly charming admirer who flirts with her at every turn, she’s ready to figure out her next steps. The trouble is, Cait lives in the shadows of a dark past, and she can’t afford complications that might cause her to lose the family she’s only just found—complications like blue-eyed boatbuilder Brant Remington, who is as open as she is guarded. If only the sexy charmer would take the hint…
Brant is Cait’s opposite in every way, but he’s drawn to everything about the sexy newcomer—from the quiet strength that rivals the caution in her mossy-green eyes to her tough facade that he can’t wait to strip away.
As Brant works his magic, Cait’s walls come down. But as sweet as that feels, Cait knows how quickly good things can turn bad. It’s going to take more than a little trust to beat the ghosts of her past and claim the future they both deserve. AMAZON LINK

I liked this story although I was overwhelmed a few times with the large cast of people in it. After I read this book, I noticed that the author mentioned that she had a map of Silver Island and family trees on her website. That family trees part might have been even more helpful to me.
I enjoyed both Cait and Brant as the main characters. It was quite the emotional story. He was open, affectionate, and honest not to mention tender towards Cait. And boy, did she need that tenderness even as she ran from it. I loved how he often told her, "I got you." He saw her and knew when to push and when to back off from her; giving her the space she needed. She had SO much pain and bad memories to work through. But she also had a lot of people rooting for her too. She developed her Island friends and family and the Cape "family" that she already had. Tank played a big part of her support family from the beginning.
Brant's family was a lot of fun and often zany. Especially how they interacted with little Joni and her wild imagination. The Mermaid theme cropped up every so often and played a sweet part to the story.
Remember I said Brant's family was fun and zany? Well so was the Bra Brigade.
I liked how Cait finally broke free and the H.E.A. that follows because of that.
