He didn’t believe in love at first sight… Until it happened to him.Finn McCarthy, the youngest of the McCarthy cousins, is at a crossroads. As the lease on his Gansett Island rental comes to an end, he’s making plans to return to his “real” life on the mainland. He’s enjoyed the nearly two years on Gansett with his boisterous fun-loving family, but it’s time to get back to the life he put on hold … to get back to the life he put on hold when he came to the island for his cousin’s wedding—and never left. With renovations to the Wayfarer, the family’s latest business endeavor, all but completed and the grand opening slated for Memorial Day weekend, the time is right to make a move. That is until he stops by the local salon for a quick trim that turns his life plan upside down…
Chloe Dennis, owner of the Curl Up and Dye Salon, is about to close the shop after another ordinary day when Finn McCarthy walks in and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Holy hotness! How has she never met the youngest of the McCarthys, and now that she has met him, why is it that she runs into him everywhere she goes?
Despite the undeniable sizzle of attraction between Finn and Chloe, she is dealing with life-changing news that makes her reluctant to get involved with anyone, let alone a man who plans to leave the island for good in two short weeks. Finn can’t understand why he reacts to Chloe the way he does or why she won’t give him a chance to see what they could be. When she makes it clear that it’s not going to happen between them, what else can he do but go forward with his plan to pack up and leave at the end of the month? Unless the push-pull of undeniable desire makes them forget the many reasons why this could be a bad idea…
Return to Gansett Island for another visit with all the series regulars and to find out if Finn and Chloe can overcome the obstacles that stand between them and the possibility of true love. Catch up with Mac, Maddie, Adam, Abby, Riley, Nikki, Blaine and Tiffany, attend Shane and Katie’s wedding, and find out what happens when Blaine’s troubled brother Deacon comes to the island. Get ready for another hot, sexy summer on Gansett Island!

Amazing! Marie Force kills it in this incredible sexy and fast paced book. I love everything she writes and this one brings me back. Wonderful dialogue, great pacing, and amazing content.
I’ve been reading Marie’s books since 2011 (started with Maid For Love!) and every book in the Gansett Island series is a joy. This new one, Yours After Dark, is no exception. There is a reason why the series continues. I highly recommend you indulge!
One of the things I love about this authors writing is how she brings her characters to life how she makes me feel like I’m home visiting family and friends, this may be book 20 in the Gansett Island Series but that doesn’t mean this series is getting stale in fact I would go as far as to say for me this is one of the best stories in the series.
Finn McCarthy is the youngest McCarthy cousins and his time on Gansett Island was always meant to be temporary and after spending two years on the Island he is desperate to get back to his real life on the mainland but that was before he spent time with Chole and the Island love bug struck again…..
I read this book in one sitting I had to know the outcome I had to know why Chole couldn’t or wouldn’t commit to a relationship and I had to know the outcome for this loveable couple. I loved being back on Gansett and the banter the McCarthy’s their families and friends share never gets old once again I found myself giggling and smiling at the antics of residents. I love that Marie Force still manages to introduce new characters and new story lines so far into what is one of my favourite series and I can’t wait to see where we are taken next .
Marie Force is a force to be reckoned with. I’m sure that’s been used before but all puns aside, it’s true! There’s a reason why she’s one of the greats and this book is it!
I LOVE the Gansett Island Series – there’s something about getting lost in a world that makes the books feel more and more alive. Each book is standalone – so jump into this one right NOW – get all those book feels you’re going to love! Happy reading!
I love Marie Force books! And going back to Gansett Island?? ABSOLUTELY! Make sure you grab this new one!
He didn’t believe in love at first sight… Until it happened to him. <--- you had me there, Marie Force! Excited for the newest release in The Gansett Island Series
This series just never gets old for me! I laugh, I cry, I swoon but most of all I am always left smiling! I love each and every new addition that comes along and Finn and Chloe’s story is no exception! I adore how quickly Finn falls and is all in no matter what is going on with Chloe that makes her think she cannot have Finn. As always the glimpses into the other couples is a huge bonus. Please never stop writing this series Marie!
I always look forward to returning to Gansett Island and this time was no different. As one other reader pointed out, it feels you are visiting old friends again and you can’t wait to catch up with everyone. Marie did a great job not only with telling us about so many of our favorite characters (and boy did I love hearing about that) but giving Finn and Chloe an amazing love story. I love how Finn was just so gobsmacked with Chloe from the beginning and couldn’t help but tell her how he felt every single time. I also loved that Marie added in the RA storyline and how Chloe was so scared to put that burden on Finn. Finn’s response was just swoon worthy and so wonderful. Even after book 20, I look forward to what will come next for this series with new characters and hearing about all of our favorite characters from the past books.
This is certainly not your Grandmothers romance novel but, she would love it if she read it.
The 20th book in the Gansett series is one of the best yet. Packed full of characters who are so realistic dealing with issues that many of us deal with. Marie always has her finger on the pulse of “real life” in every book she writes.
Intriguing new characters are introduced while we find out how those we love from past books are doing.
If you’ve read any Gansett books in the past, I can’t imagine how you wouldn’t just love soaking up this latest installment. So excited to read book 21 and beyond.
I never tire of reading any book from the Gansett Island series. This one is just as good. The main focus is on Finn and Chloe. However, as with all Gansett books, we get multiple points of view looking into the lives of different characters that we have grown to love. When you read these books it’s like watching an awesome TV show. By book 17 you are vested in each character. You root for them. You want to see where each step in life takes them. The storylines are realistic. There is passion, humor, love, friendship, etc. in each book. Multiple points of view. No cliffhanger.
Finn McCarthy was all set to leave Gansett until he met Chloe Dennis. The McCarthy clan is solidly behind Finn and Chloe as they navigate not only health issues but a crazy ex as well. I love the fact that we get a glimpse into the entire family and what the are all doing as well.
More Shenanigans on Gansett Island
More McCarthy’s
Lots more sexy times.
Yours after Dark is Book 22 in this fabulous series from the highly talented Marie Force. This one follows the romance between Finn McCarthy (Cousin to Mac) and the beautiful Chloe. Finn is just about ready to leave Gansett Island and return to the mainland but finds himself at a bit of a crossroads when he sets eyes on Chloe and instantly falls hard. Chloe however, is reluctant to get involved with anyone including Finn as she knows he is leaving soon, but she also has personal issues she doesn’t want burden him with and steers away from a forever relationship.
With the usual lots of lovin, plenty of laughs, more betting, babies, pregnancies, engagements and the rest, this is definately a great addition to the series. We even get a little snippet of Mac & Maddie (my favourite), Blaine & Tiffany, Adam & Abby and Riley & Nikki. We also get to finally meet Owen & Katies’s other siblings – yay more to come from Gansett Island.
I love this series. I have kept up with every couple from the beginning and feel like I’m a part of the islandfolk. I can’t wait to get back to Gansett Island in Book 23. Please don’t keep us waiting too long Marie.
I want to live on Gansett Island. Every time the author takes us there she makes me fall in love with the McCarthy family. Finn and Chloe’s story was sweet and funny and crazy and sexy and another must read McCarthy story.
“Sometimes what you’re looking for is right under your nose.”
A wonderful couple to add to the ever-growing family and friends that make Gansett Island their home. A story easy to get into as a head bump/collision begins a romance that neither saw coming. Marie Force writes their undeniable connection so that you believe it and feel it.
Finding the one you are meant to be with forever shouldn’t come with so many complications, but this was a sweet read and further draws the reader into the life on Gansett Island. If the place were real, everyone would want to live there!!!
Marie Force just knows how to write a book
I LOVE this series!
I loved this book. Was waiting for a story starring Finn and this one was great. Terrific characters. I loved the RA aspect. Very compelling and realistic story. Can’t wait to catch up with Finn and Chole in future Gansett books. Oh and all the the babies coming. So exciting.
Another excellent book by a great author.
