Archer and Indi were more
dynamic narrator duo Andi & AidenOverall 5 out of 5 starsPerformance 5 out of 5 starsStory 5 out of 5 starsReviewed: 05-30-22Archer Steele was the bad boy of the beginning of this series. His animosity toward his twin and the situation with the death of his best friend was toxic for more than just himself. His friends and family were feeling the divide. Indi was that something extra that brought him out of his shell. Indi and his reconnect with his family made for a better Archer. Indi was more than just the girl on a visit. She was looking for a change in her life. That change just so happen to include coming to the island for more than just a visit. Which for her and Archer meant the end of their hookups that was taking a turn in to something more. Neither of them were willing to acknowledge.Visiting Silver Island again brough back some of the characters/couples that we already fell in love with. This visit we see more of Archer and his personal world along with exploring Indi.Andi and Aiden makes for the perfect combo in their range of character voices in tone pitch and intonation. I love the range and the connection to the characters that make for a feeling of old friends and long lost family.Reasons I enjoyed this book:Easy-to-read Entertaining Page-turner Romantic Realistic Wonderful characters

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022

Ever since I found out that Jock was a twin, and then we meet him in Tempted by Love, I had to have his story!! Archer and Jock's relationship, as well as the relationship with their family, is so dynamic that it needed 2 books to tell it. And the way Archer came across in Jock's story, I knew his story would be fantastic!! And, of course, it was also extremely HOT!!!
Archer and Indi have met several times before they actual start to hook-up, mainly because she's Leni's friend and has worked with the Steele women doing hair and makeup. They finally hook-up during Halloween in the vineyard and it seems to become a regular thing for them. Initially it was only suppose to be sex, which was how Archer operated. Of course, we all know it can't stay that way for long. At the beginning of this book, Indi is trying to end their arrangement but Archer isn't quite ready.
I will say that it took me a little while to accept Archer. He was so arrogant, cocky, and quick tempered. I held on because I knew he was a Steele and all of that stuff was a front, and I'm so glad I did. This poor guy was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, but for no real reason but he felt guilty.
I think he knew all along that Indi wasn't like his average hook-up, which is why he couldn't let her go. She really was so good for him. But she had her own problems to deal with. I truly hated her parents!!!! In my opinion, they had no redeeming qualities! But her sister and brother were wonderful. At least some of her family supported her. Indi is such a strong female character. She had dreams and she worked hard to achieve them!! And Archer helped her with her family situation wonderfully. He was so good at helping others with their issues but not so great about facing his own. That's a man for ya!!
These 2 made the pages of this book sizzle!!!! Even though the sex was HOT, their connection was hotter! It was wonderful watching them fall in love and make a life together. It was fantastic to be back on Silver Island again!!!! I want to be a part of the Steele family!! They are amazing people, even though they aren't technically real!! I also loved the vibe of the island and how it was a community that looked out for each other with welcoming arms! We need more of that in the world!
I highly recommend this book, and all of Melissa's books, to everyone that wants to disappear into a great book world. I can't wait for more of the Steele's on Silver Island, like Levi, Leni, and Sutton!!!!

Indi has hooked up with moody Archer Steel again she keeps saying this is the last time but their attraction to each other just keeps bring them back together. Archer doesn’t think he’s boyfriend material so he just keep telling Indi this is a hook up and she is sort of ok with that but not really. She just has to much on her plate because she’s going to move to the island to open a shop to sell her cosmetics. But these two are getting closer and healing things about them to make their relationship better. So enjoy this good read and see if they get a HEA!!

Archer has always been the grump. Well not always, but for the past 10 years he held his twin brother at arm’s length and everyone else. One person got under his radar, and she was the only person he wanted there, Indi. She is his sister Leni’s best friend and he had wanted her. Well for a one-night stand that is. Until the one-night stand turned into a fling, that turned into something more. As a renowned Vintner- he knew Silver Island would always be his home and he enjoyed being out on his boat when the seasons allowed it. Indi, was a makeup artist and worked fashion week. She loved traveling to Silver Island and spending time with Leni’s family, the Steeles. There she felt at home, so when it came time to find a spot for her boutique, she knew the Island was the only place for it. Even if it meant that she would finally have to stop sleeping with Archer. Archer, though, well he had other ideas.

Melissa ever fails to bring the best stories to us. I have been itching for Archer’s book because you knew he was going to be all sorts of alpha and growly. But more so he was going to bring arrogance and dirty talking. And he 100% did! This man made me want to hit him upside the head a few times, but Indi did a great job keeping him in line. The push and pull between them just kept getting hotter and hotter until one finally burned it all down. Yet again, we get a book where you feel like you are right there with the characters, because we all want to hang out with the Silvers, Steeles and Remington’s on the island.

I want to say I loved this book, but it was more than love. I have yet to meet a book of Melissa’s that I haven’t loved. The characters are so lifelike you feel like you know them in person. You remember them from book to book and are always cheering for them. Keep them coming Melissa.

I always love Melissa Foster’s books. But this is the first book where I really did not like the H at the beginning of the book. Archer was kind of a mean jerk and I kept thinking Indi, have some self respect be done with him. Oh but then the story continued and Indi cracked through Archer’s prickly angry shell and then I could see what Indi saw. And I fell in love with big hearted, bruised and scarred but not broken Archer. This is book 3 in the Steele’s at Silver Island series. Archer Steele is a world renowned winemaker. He also unapologetically brash and single. Indi Oliver is a vivacious and accomplished hair and make up artist who owns a successful line of skin care products. Indi is opening her own boutique on Silver Island. Indi and Archer have a super steamy friends with benefits relationship that neither one is Interested in becoming a real relationship though for different reasons. On the way to their HEA, Archer has to unpack a boatload of baggage and Indi has at least one overnight bag to unpack herself. There is beautiful growth for both of them in this story. All of Melissa Foster’s books have a central theme of family - those we are born into and those we create - and beautiful heart squeezing love. This book is no exception, Silver Island and the families that live there are the embodiment of family and love. Experiencing the journey of Archer and Oliver as they fall in love gave me all the feels - you will definitely laugh, cry, swoon, gasp, and happy sigh. I cannot wait to read the love stories of the rest of Steele family.

I am probably one of Melissa Foster's greatest fans. It does not matter if I like a character at the beginning of a book or not, by the end I love them. Archer Steele was not one of my favorite people, he is gruff and angry, or so I thought. Indie and him are literally 2 peas in a pod and tend to speak first, think later, but when they finally become more then fwb...wow!!!

ARCHER. STEELE🥵🥵 Where can I find one of him please?
Honestly if you’ve been on my page in the last week you know I adore this series and I’ve binged it! Can’t wait to read all the others Melissa has wrote.
What was special for me about this one was Archer’s strength and determination. He had sooo much guilt on his shoulders it was burying him alive but he was so determined to shake it off and heal himself so he could be with Indi, and I loved that.
I loved how he was a total grump but with Indi, he let her in and showed his sweet side.
Oh and he totally ruined Valentine’s Day for me because no man will ever live up!
Indi too was a fab character and the perfect fit for Archer. She didn’t try and change him, just helped when he asked for it and stood by him when he needed it.
As always I love seeing the huge family/small island trope in this series and getting glimpses of all the other characters is so fun.
Can’t wait for the next one!

I am so excited to read Archers own story having first met him in Jock's story, Tempted by love, and he intrigued me. He seemed the ultimate broody, bad boy, but underneath it all he's a romantic.

Archer and Indi have been hooking up for months, but with Indi moving to the island things start to change with Indi realising her feeling run deeper, and Archer not understanding the jealousy he feels.

Caught by love turns the heat on from page 1 and keeps going all the way to the last page, it's breathtaking and I couldn't put it down. Melissa always takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions with her books and there are always tears involved and this is no different. Although this is part of a series, you do not need to have read any others to enjoy this one, but beware you'll then want to read the others.

I love my trips to Silver Island and catching up with everyone, now to look forward to the next one.

Archer Steele - gruff and overprotective on the outside, sensitive but tortured on the inside. He’s weighed down by the past and doesn’t believe he can settle down. He and Indi have explosive chemistry between them but until now all they have been to each other is casual hook ups. Indi is addicted to Archer. She’s about to embark on a new life and a new business on Silver Island and has decided the time has come to wean herself off Archer, but he has other ideas. Although they become inseparable and their relationship becomes something more, Archer needs to face and accept his past before he can fully embrace his love for Indi. Not only does this story deal with loss and heartache, it’s also a heart warming story of love, acceptance and unwavering support not just between Archer and Indi but from the rest of the Steele’s of Silver Island.
