Summary
Second chances show up when you're not looking for them。。。
Cindy Lawry needs a new roommate now that her sister Julia has moved in with her fiancé， Deacon。 When she can't find anyone， she puts up a flyer in the window of the Curl Up & Dye salon where she works as a hair stylist and at other places around town。 With the summer season ending， she can't afford to live alone， and she doesn't want to move in with her mom and her new husband。 So the roommate search is on， but she's not getting many inquiries。 After growing up in an abusive household， she's anxious about letting a stranger into her home and her life。
Jace Carson needs to find a new place to live。 The employee housing at the Beachcomer is right out of Animal House， and he's way past the point in life where living like that is fun。 All he wants is a quiet place to be in between working as a bartender at the Beachcomber and visits with his young sons， who live on the island。 When he sends a text to the number a friend gave him， he doesn't expect the recipient to be Cindy， the woman he's been flirting with for weeks at the Beachcomber bar。 She comes in and orders water because she suffers from migraines and apologizes for taking up a seat at his bar。 He loves having her and her sweet smile at his bar， but he's not sure that living with her would be such a good idea， especially since all he thinks about every time he sees her is how much he'd like to kiss her。
It's autumn on Gansett Island， and the residents are settling in for another long winter of cold days and cozy nights。 Celebrate the 25th book in the Gansett Island series， and catch up with some of your favorite characters from past books while Cindy and Jace struggle to overcome demons from the past that threaten their chance at happily ever after。

Absolutely Amazing！ This book had romance， second chances， and great humor from the group we have grown to love。 Exploring island life and watching how second chances bring new life and challenges to the island makes this yet another book I didn’t want to put down。Well done once again Marie！

No heatThe sexy buildup that got me hooked on the Gansett Island series in the first place was nowhere in this book。 If you’re looking for a series where sizzle takes a backseat to the everyday lives of people living in a cozy， seaside town， then this is the series for you。 I also took issue with the fact that a minor character in his early 20s decided to throw away his college education and cancel his plans for a career in computer science to stay on the island for a girl。

Wow， just wow！！Another great story by Marie。 Life after prison， no longer taking things for granted， overcoming drugs， the large getting past their fathers abuse。。。so much trauma in lives， yet still being able to see the bright side of things。 The world could learn a lesson or two by reading this book。 Loved every page！！！

Jace is one of the deepest characters living on Gansett Island and I loved his story of redemption。。 He longs to make amends to his sons， their caregivers， his dead wife， and even her family at his emotional and physical expense。 I felt his hurt when he had to hand over his fatherhood time because of the heffa from child services。 Loved this story。

It seems like every Gansett Island Series book ups the bar！ Jace and Cindy's story was the perfect blend of raw， real emotion， witty banter， laughter， sizzling chemistry， and connection that the reader can't help but root for！ Both of their backstories were wrought with pain， whether it be somewhat self-inflicted or at the hands of another。 The beauty of the story is how they chose to respond to their pasts， fighting for a better future， rather than letting the darkness win。 Marie Force writes s It seems like every Gansett Island Series book ups the bar！ Jace and Cindy's story was the perfect blend of raw， real emotion， witty banter， laughter， sizzling chemistry， and connection that the reader can't help but root for！ Both of their backstories were wrought with pain， whether it be somewhat self-inflicted or at the hands of another。 The beauty of the story is how they chose to respond to their pasts， fighting for a better future， rather than letting the darkness win。 Marie Force writes such well-rounded and developed characters that they feel real， and I just wanted to hug them at different times。 Jace showed what it is to be a true father in the way he put his boys' best interests above his own happiness。 Both Jace and Cindy are inspirational characters that are going to stick with me for a long time。 Something that I always love about this series is the presence of the other Gansett characters， always happy to provide sage advice or comic relief！ As usual， Mac and Maddie are hilarious！ We also got interesting scenes with a couple more Lawry brothers， and I can't wait for more on them！！ This was another smashing success for this series that should not be missed！！ 。。。more

Gansett islandThis was by far one of the best books Marie Force has ever written。 It was so humbling and gracious as are all her books。

Wonderful Journey back to the islandI laughed。 I cried。 I got emerged in the lives of Gansett Island once again。 Marie Force’s characters have a greater depth each time she writes。 I realized I was a judgmental person of ex-cons but immediately was Jace’s supporter when her sisters questioned his motives。 Wonderful journey back to the island。

Brilliant！！ Even after 25 books from this series， I still love reading about this island and the families on it。 Over the years， we have met so many new people， but at the same time it feels like one huge happy family。 The book is part of a series， and I really really think that you should read the others first。 However， if this is your first time reading a book from this series， you'll be ok。 I just think all of the characters may trip you up。 I loved Jace and Cindy's story， but I also love get Brilliant！！ Even after 25 books from this series， I still love reading about this island and the families on it。 Over the years， we have met so many new people， but at the same time it feels like one huge happy family。 The book is part of a series， and I really really think that you should read the others first。 However， if this is your first time reading a book from this series， you'll be ok。 I just think all of the characters may trip you up。 I loved Jace and Cindy's story， but I also love getting points of view from the other characters and catching up on their lives as well。 There is almost no way that all of the characters from the 25 books can be included in this one， but Marie gave it a great shot！ The book has all of the feels。 Multiple points of view。 No cliffhanger。 I'm waiting on more！ I have yet to understand why this has never been made into a Netflix or Hulu series。 They sure are missing a good thing！ 。。。more

In Resilience After Dark we get to learn more about Jace and Cindy。 This is a great story with Jace working hard to improve his life after a rocky past and Cindy getting herself settled on Gansett Island with most of her family。 Marie Force does an amazing job of helping her characters move forward with their lives。 You will definitely shed a tear or two of both joy and sadness and you will find yourself laughing at the couple who started this amazing series 25 books ago。 In typical Marie fashio In Resilience After Dark we get to learn more about Jace and Cindy。 This is a great story with Jace working hard to improve his life after a rocky past and Cindy getting herself settled on Gansett Island with most of her family。 Marie Force does an amazing job of helping her characters move forward with their lives。 You will definitely shed a tear or two of both joy and sadness and you will find yourself laughing at the couple who started this amazing series 25 books ago。 In typical Marie fashion， this book has it all and it was so good to be back on the island。 。。。more

Absolutely incredible。 I can’t stop thinking about this story and how fantastic it is。 It’s a much deeper storyline that highlights the struggles and thoughts of the characters。 I’m not doing well with putting this into words， but I think this is the best Gansett so far。 My brain just won’t shut this one off so I am sure a lot of readers will feel a similar way。 It is one that will stick with me for quite some time。

Another amazing Gansett Island book fromMarie Force！ I’ve looked forward to hearing more about Cindy and Jace and I was not disappointed。 As always， Marie updates us on all our believed Gansett friends and continues to make us fall in love all over again。 I laughed， I cried and I smiled so much reading this story。 You will absolutely love book 25 in this amazing series！

Boom！ Going strong after all these glimpses into life on Gansett Island。 Readers will cheer for Jayce and Cindy， who both have pasts that continue to hurt them。 But that certainly isn’t the only love story in this book！ Many visits with characters， some we’ve met before and others whose stories we’re just learning， make this addition to the series a must have for Island fans。

Readers are in for a real treat as the last hurrahs of summer end on Gansett Island。 New faces， new relationships， visitors， surprises galore and another unexpected helicopter ride。 I especially enjoyed seeing and catching up with some old friends we haven't seen for a while。 This one is fast-paced and full of snorting laughter， a few tears （happy and sad） and the ups and downs of real life keeps the Island hopping。 And you're going to love Jace and Cindy！ That's all I can share for now， but 。 。 Readers are in for a real treat as the last hurrahs of summer end on Gansett Island。 New faces， new relationships， visitors， surprises galore and another unexpected helicopter ride。 I especially enjoyed seeing and catching up with some old friends we haven't seen for a while。 This one is fast-paced and full of snorting laughter， a few tears （happy and sad） and the ups and downs of real life keeps the Island hopping。 And you're going to love Jace and Cindy！ That's all I can share for now， but 。 。 。Be sure to check this one out on release day -- JULY 19， 2022！ 。。。more
