Book Synopsis

A dozen days—and nights—to explore all the possibilities…

Tobias “Slim” Jackson has the perfect life as a pilot on Gansett Island in the summer and in Florida in the winter. He’s happiest when he’s in the air, or at least that was the case before last summer when he met Erin Barton, Gansett Island’s newest lighthouse keeper. Now he can’t seem to find his usual enthusiasm for flying, winter in the sunny South or anything that doesn’t include her. 

Erin has been stuck on pause since she lost her twin brother. She’ll tell you herself that her life has been a hot mess since Toby died. After dropping out of law school, she’s flitted from one pointless job to another, existing rather than truly living. Then she comes to Gansett Island to take over as the new lighthouse keeper and meets Slim, who happens to share her beloved brother’s first name. That small coincidence is enough to convince Erin that she needs to spend more time with the dashing pilot—except for the fact that he’s spending the winter more than a thousand miles from her.

Now Slim’s come home to Gansett for the holidays and to hopefully pick up where he left off with Erin. He’s got twelve days before he’s due back in Florida to finish out the remainder of his winter obligations. A lot can happen in twelve days, but will it be enough to convince Erin that it’s time to start truly living again? Read Slim and Erin’s story and catch up with the rest of the Gansett Island cast in Desire After Dark!

    Marie writes books that makes me want a day walking on the beach and once again spending time with my friends. Watching the McCarthy family and friends get their happily ever after is just plain fun. If you can you should read each of the books in this series. It's like being there smelling the salt air....

    It is always nice to have the opportunity to take a trip back to Gansett Island. This trip was no exception. Erin and Slim's story is so good. Slim fights hard to help Erin past her fears in order for them to have a relationship. His support of her is unwavering. Erin deals with her OCD and her fears constantly but has not felt that she would be able to move past them. That is, until Slim. He makes her want more. He makes her want to be able to move on with her life. Slim and Erin's relationship has developed quickly and is definitely HOT! The chemistry in this couple if off the charts! We also get to visit with the other Gansett residents in this book. We get to catch up with several of the couples and get to attend the wedding of Evan and Grace. The characters in this series are amazing and each book gives us a little look into the lives of most all of them. There are several laugh out loud moments with some of the Gansett residents. This is a great book. I still remember reading the first book in this series. I loved it and have loved every book in the series since that time. It is amazing that we are now at book #15. This one is as amazing as all of the other fourteen! If you haven't read the series then you need to start now. If you have read it then grab this one today!

  • Fantastic!

    I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book and definitely could not wait for this story!!! To say that I could not put this book down would be an understatement...I was hooked (as I usually am with any Marie Force book). It was wonderful to catch up with all my Gansett Island friend but Slim & Erin's story was one of the best I have read. It's a wonderful story and moving in so many ways. Please read this book and all that came before it, you will not be disappointed!!!! A definite 5 star read!!!

  • Sweet, sexy, & fun!

    This book was adorable and sexy rolled into one! It’s my first foray into the Gansett Island clan and while I think I could have benefitted from having read the others first, I caught on to who everyone was fairly quickly. The author doesn’t spend the entire book on the main hero and heroine, she revisits some of the other characters from time to time. I could tell it was like an extended, ongoing epilogue for the readers and I loved that. It also intrigued me and made me want to go back and read the stories of the rest of the characters. It also makes the stories have a touch more realism. Life and its struggles doesn’t stop after “Happily Ever After.” I would have liked to spend a little more time with Erin and Slim, but I still very much enjoyed the book. I’m a New York City girl, myself, and I would go insane on a little island like that, but I have to say, Marie Force had me wondering. If I had a large group of friends and family like that, it certainly would never be boring! Slim and Erin are so easy to like. They are both the kind of people I hope to know in real life, loyal, loving, fun and interesting. I was rooting for them from the first page and I was ecstatic to see them get their happy ending! My heart broke what Erin had suffered through. Everyone grieves in their own way and it was sad to see her hold onto that grief and coast through life instead of really living it. I will say though, once she got to know Slim, being afraid to tell him about her fear of flying seemed a little ridiculous. When had he ever given her any indication that he would take it badly? Perhaps it might have ended the relationship, but by not telling him, it was doomed anyway. Slim, wow. That man was so delicious, it was impossible not to fall for him. Following his thoughts and actions as he stumbles to the reality that his non-committal lifestyle isn’t because he “can’t” commit, but rather because he hadn’t found a woman who made him want to. And, when he does find out about Erin’s hang-ups, his only goal is to help her overcome them, for her. Though, if it helps them as a couple, it was a huge plus, of course. The chemistry between the couples in this book is palpable! And, I don’t just mean the physical attraction. I could feel the depth of love between the families and friends, not just the couples. This book was definitely a warm fuzzy read and I turned the last page with a smile on my face. Definitely 4 great stars! I recommend you introduce yourself to the people of Gansett Island!

  • A fun, witty, romantic book

    Marie Force takes us back to Gansett Island for her 50th (yes 50th) book. Gansett Island debuted 5 years ago with Maid for Love (one of my all-time favorites books). Her current release, Desire After Dark is the series 15th book. After 15 books this series is still putting out the Island’s magic charm, smoking hot romance, and keeping it fresh and current. Desire After Dark is Slim’s and Erin’s story. Slim is the island’s pilot who we have gotten to know throughout the series. He is currently spending his winters in Florida. Erin is the island’s new lighthouse keeper still reeling from the death of her twin brother in the 911 attack. Erin has developed deep wounds, fears, and tends to run away from serious relationships. Slim is an easy going, happy, and non-relationship guy. Getting to know Erin has him thinking of commitment. They have spent months talking on the phone, texting, and FaceTiming while he works in Florida. Slim has come back to the island for the McCarthy’s anniversary party and has decided to stay and spend the holiday getting to know Erin better. Erin doesn’t make it so easy. Slim has 12 days to convince her to give their relationship a go. One of my favorite things about this book is that the characters spend the 12 days getting to know each other better by talking, laughing, flirting, and sharing confidences. There is witty, fun banter between them. And of course, as with all Marie’s books, there’s hot sex too. These characters have chemistry. I liked that this story included some previous characters that aren’t necessary in the McCarthy’s tight group of family and friends. Sim and Erin hung out with this group and it was good to catch up with them. Of course, no Gansett Island book is complete with all our beloved McCarthy’s and they are all updated in this book and we even have two weddings. Characters are well-written and you really feel that you know these characters and you deeply care about them. Gansett Island books makes you believe in Happily Ever After. The island is full of a fun, friendly, loving group of people who make you want to go back to Gansett Island again and again.
