He barely knew her, and he can’t forget her… Riley, who’d been hired to fix the leaking roof at their grandmother’s home, had liked talking to Nikki and had been looking forward to getting to know her better when she disappeared. Months later, he still thinks of her every day, even if he wishes he didn’t. She’s hard to forget.
As the manager for Jordan’s reality TV career, Nikki finds herself square in the middle of the kind of drama she’s had more than enough of, especially since her sister plans to go back to the husband who released a sex tape that devastated Jordan last fall. Enough is enough for Nikki, who quits her job and heads for her happy place—her grandmother’s oceanfront home on Gansett Island, hoping she might run into the sweet, sexy guy who fixed the roof last fall. She liked talking to him and wonders if he stayed on the island for the winter. She really hopes he’s still there.
The minute Riley hears that Nikki has come back to Gansett Island, he has to see her. He has to know if the spark of attraction he’d felt for her is still there, and more than anything, he’d love to know why he’s thought more about a woman he met exactly twice than he ever has about anyone else. Come back to Gansett Island for Riley and Nikki’s sweet, sexy story and catch up with many of your favorites, including Mac and Maddie, Adam and Abby, Shane and Katie and Kevin and Chelsea!

Just love this Gansett Island series!
Can a few conversations over a leaky roof lead to the love of a lifetime? Throw in a few snafus and a lot of chemistry, then wait and see.
Marie Force has done it again. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
The whole series keeps you coming back for more. I LOVE the whole family dynamic that keeps going from book to book.
I’m a great fan of Marie Force and read everything she writes.Just love her characters and especially the Gansett Series.
Nice catching up with the Gansett Island gang.

I enjoy all of the Gansett Books
5 Star Review of Mine After Dark (Gansett Island #19) by Marie Force
This is one of my favourites series. I love meeting and learning more about the McCarthy’s of Gansett Island.
This is an extremely well written book full of love and family and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
I really liked Riley and and Nikki both separately and together and the chemistry between them was scorching. I love how caring and sweet Riley is to Nikki after he finds out about the horror from her past, he is such a class act. Can Riley and Nikki forge a path together or will they be split apart by the love and commitment Nikki has to her twin sister?
I love catching up with the McCarthy’s and their extended family. Marie Force brings Gansett Island to life for me and I so want to visit.
Marie put out another great book. Gansett series has you wishing you could go there and hang out with all of them.
Today I had one of those V-8 moments. I have loved every one of the Gansett Island books. I have devoured them. I have worshipped them. But until today, other than the amazing writing abilities of the author, I couldn’t figure out why.
While I have read many series, only this one seems to be a continuation of the complete story. There might be a main couple in each and every wonderful story, but the lives of past couples and residents continue on. The author understands the reader. She gets that we don’t want to forget the stories of the past. The characters continue to touch our hearts long after each epilogue.
What made this story special was that the primary characters, Nikki and Riley, deserved every minute of happiness they could get. She had, for the most part, been taken advantage of by her famous sister. He had struggled first with his mother’s affair and then accepting his father’s relationship and desire for children with a much younger woman.
The fantastic, gut laughing, family relationships continue in the McCarthy family. If you are like me, you may not want to be drinking anything while reading. I washed my Kindle, not on purpose, but still…..And now I must wait to visit future McCarthy love stories, but it will be worth the wait.
I just “Love” the way Marie Force write her series. She has a way of updating all of her characters that came before while keeping all in the flow of the current story.
Great book! Love the series, family and all the ways Marie writes it all together!!! Great job, to one of my favorite authors.
I really enjoyed this book as I have all of Marie Force’s books about Gansett Island.
This wonderful series returns with the sweet love story of Riley & Nikki. You get the pleasure of reading the adventures of new love with hiccup or two, the necessary HEA, and a new couple to love on the Island. Each book in the series features a different couple and many of those characters appear and you are brought up to date on their lives. The true stars of this series for me is, and always will be, are Mac and Maddie. Mac and Maddie are always good for smiles and laughs, they also bring me to tears. They have an honest true love full of commitment. They truly understand each other and are supportive. Their relationship continues to grow in each book and it’s wonderful to experience. While this is the love story of Riley & Nikki, Marie has a gift of including many characters into the story. There are multiple on-going storylines and it reads in real-life time frame. These “secondary” storylines never take away from the main storyline but enhance your reading. Past storylines are recalled in a way where you don’t feel it’s being repeated. It is always a true pleasure to take a break when a new Gansett Island book is released. I get swept away and all is right in the world again. And of course, they are wonderful to revisit/reread again and again.
