You’ve heard the joke… Know how to figure out if a guy’s a pilot?He’ll tell you.Yep. Cocky? Arrogant? Player?That’s generally the impression I like to give women.Outside of my 8-pack and medals for valor, when it comes to women’s expectations of me… I try to keep the bar low enough so that I can roll over it.Until Kaila comes along.She’s like every fantasy I could conjure – that night I made … every fantasy I could conjure – that night I made her soul-searing eyes glaze over with passion as she cried out my name…
Several times, because I’m very thorough.
It should have been enough for me.
It’s not.
But with my past – and a secret I’ve kept even from my brothers – I know I’m not capable of giving her what she deserves. I know it…
… even with hindsight.
Hindsight is a full-length romance, Book 2 in the Aloha, Sheridans series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Crank up your A/C because Fen’s one hot hero… and enjoy!

Aster may not yet be a household name to those who love contemporary romance, but they should! She writes angst, humor, and steam that will make her readers only crave more.
As a longtime fan of Aster, I was delighted when I found myself transported to the beautiful island of Hawaii, and inserted into the lives of Fen and Kaila – two people unlikely to be matched and yet perfect for one another.
As Fen and Kaila are thrown into one another’s lives without much choice, I was swept away as their story unfolded. With lots of heart and enough heat to start a fire, Aster wrote a novel that will carry you away in all the best ways.
As Always, Happy Reading!
“5/5 Beaming Brains!” – Lit-Up My Mind
I absolutely loved this story! Once again, Kate Aster invites her readers back to the Islands of Hawaii for another visit with the Sheridan brothers. Hindsight is the second book in the Homefront: Aloha, Sheridans series. Like all of Kate’s books, this story immediately pulled me in and I found it completely entertaining and delightful!
After retiring from the military, all three of the Sheridan brothers (Camden, Fenway and Dodger) decide to share a condo and live in Hawaii. The first book in this series, A is for Alpha, is Camden and Annie’s story. Hindsight begins just after their wedding when Fenway (Fen) and Kaila decide to “share an unexpected end to the evening” by fooling around. With both of them knowing and accepting that this is just a one night stand, neither of them are prepared for the surprises that await them when they are forced to see each other again.
Fen Sheridan is charming, kind, and confident and totally enjoying his carefree, single life on the island working as a commercial helicopter pilot. Since the age of 15, Fen has been holding onto a secret. A secret that permanently alters how he perceives love and commitment and makes him unable and unwilling to commit to a relationship. Although he has never shared this secret with anyone, everyone is aware that Fen has serious commitment issues. So when he fools around with Kaila hours after Cam and Annie’s wedding both of them know that any kind of committed relationship is impossible.
Kaila is fun, witty, smart and beautiful. She is Annie’s best friend and business partner. She has grown up on the island and has worked two jobs to put herself through college. Since her parents death, she is determined to finish her degree and finally leave the island that has left her feeling trapped and alone. The day Kaila buried her parents, she felt as though she buried as piece of herself “leaving a void that fills too easily with the wrong man who has the right moves.” The night of the wedding she knows that Fen Sheridan is definitely the wrong man. As she tries to quickly leave, Kaila sees some items that have her making some seriously wrong assumptions about Fen. Determined not to spend the night, she rudely dismisses Fen and leaves.
Months later, when the two of them are forced to see each other again, Kaila discovers that the assumptions she made the night of the wedding are completely wrong. She also learns that Fen has lost his job as a pilot and when she finds out why she’s determined to help. She comes up with a business plan that will help Fen start up his own helicopter business. This plan has both of them heading to Ohio where most of this story takes place.
While in Ohio, Fen makes sure Kaila experiences everything she wanted to do while on the mainland, a dream come true for her. As the two of them get closer, Fen discovers that the assumptions he made 15 years ago are wrong. Will this knowledge free Fen and allow him to have a committed relationship with Kaila? When Kaila is offered her dream job that will allow her to leave the island and travel around the world, will she be happy or will she finally understand what it’s like to be homesick for the first time? In this story Fen and Kaila find out that Hindsight is definitely 20/20!
I eagerly awaited the release of this book and I was not disappointed! Fen and Kaila’s story is heartwarming and wonderfully written. I really enjoyed the trip to Ohio, getting to know Fen’s parents and once again meeting up with the “other Sheridan” cousins. I highly recommend this book and series. Kate Aster is an amazing and talented author and once again she has created an outstanding love story. I look forward to reading Island Fever, the next book in this series. I can’t wait to see what Kate has planned for Dodger Sheridan!
