REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Seaside Sunsets by Melissa Foster



Seaside Sunsets
Seaside Dreams # 3
By: Melissa Foster
Releasing December 16th, 2014


Blurb
Jessica Ayers has lived a sheltered life with little more than cello lessons and practices taking up her day. Now a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she escapes the prim and proper symphony to vacation in the Seaside community in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and determine if she is living life to the fullest or missing it altogether.

For the first time since developing the second largest search engine in the world, billionaire Jamie Reed is taking the summer off. He plans to work from the Cape and spend time with his elderly grandmother—and falling in love is not in his plans.

From the moment Jamie and Jessica meet, the attraction is white-hot. Once-overly-focused Jamie can think of little else than sensual, smart, and alluring Jessica, and Jessica discovers a side of herself she never knew existed. But when Jamie’s business encounters trouble and his attorney and best friend intervenes, he proves that the blond beauty is too distracting for Jamie. To make matters worse, it appears that Jessica might not be who she says she is, turning Jamie’s life—and his heart—upside down.

In a world where personal information is always one click away, Jamie must decide if he should trust his heart or watch the woman he loves walk away

Sarah's Review:
Thanks to Melissa Foster and Tasty Book Tours for continuing to feed my addiction with romances that I can't get enough of!  It's hard to believe that for the last year that I have been so enthralled by a series that I usually drop what I am doing and read the next one.  I hope this will continue to be the case! 

I have been crushing on Jamie since the first time we met him with Leanne and Kurt.  There is something about a hot nerdy guy that loves his grandma that made him more dreamy in my eyes.  From the interactions Jamie had with his friends in previous books, I knew that it would take someone special to knock Jamie on his keaster.   Turns out it would be a phone that would wake him up!

When Jessica takes a break from her career as an orchestra member, she wasn't expecting to meet Jamie nor was she expecting to find a sense of peace that she never experienced before.   Jessica wasn't expecting to find friends with the other girls of Seaside, but she gained more than she anticipated with her sabbatical from the orchestra. 

Since I don't want to give anything away, I don't want to say much else.  I love these two characters and how they managed to work out the drama that appeared during the course of their story.  

It was so nice to see glimpses into the lives of the other Seaside couples.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Flirting With Love by Melissa Foster




Flirting With Love
The Bradens # 10
By: Melissa Foster



Blurb
FLIRTING WITH LOVE is the newest addition to the BRADEN series by New York Times & USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. This contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and very relatable to readers who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction.

IN FLIRTING WITH LOVE…

Elisabeth Nash has spent years dreaming of returning to the small town of Trusty, Colorado, where she spent summers with her favorite aunt. When she inherits her aunt’s farmette, she closes her Los Angeles pet bakery and pampering business, sure that life in Trusty will be as peaceful and as welcoming as she remembers. But being an outsider in the close-knit town proves to be very different from the happy summers she remembers from her childhood—and falling for Trusty’s hot, wealthy, and sinfully irresistible veterinarian, Ross Braden, sends the rumor mill into a frenzy.

Ross Braden learned long ago that gossip spreads faster than weeds in his small hometown, and Ross loves nothing more than his privacy.  For that reason, he doesn’t date women who live in Trusty. But that was before blond, beautiful, and refreshingly honest Elisabeth Nash flew into his vet clinic seeking help for her panicked piglet and turned his comfortable life—and his heart—inside out.

Despite rumors about Elisabeth’s motives toward her aunt’s property, passion brews between Elisabeth and Ross. Every steamy kiss and every sensual touch brings the pair closer together, and when Ross helps Elisabeth try to fit into the town he adores, it makes their bond even stronger. But even Elisabeth’s efforts toward reaching the community, and the love she and Ross so desperately believe in, might not be enough for the protective small town to offer them a future.

Sarah's Review:  
Thanks to Melissa Foster and Tasty Book Tours for continuing to provide me with great romances to read.  As long as you keep writing them, I will keep reading them!  It is one of the things I look forward to each month.  I need to get caught up on my paperback collection too!

From the moment Ross was introduced, I was excited for his story because of his love of animals. He won me over very quickly and I knew Elisabeth was going to knock Ross on his butt from the first interaction.  Oh, come on!  A pig running through the office, yeah, I was dying! 

I love how Elisabeth found a way to overcome the animosity towards her in the beginning.  She didn't give up and it worked to her benefit.  She won over people that were against her and won over Ross in the process. 

I can't wait to read more.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Seaside Hearts by Melissa Foster



Seaside Hearts
Seaside Summers # 2
By: Melissa Foster
Releasing October, 2014


Blurb

Jenna Ward is vivacious, spontaneous, and confident—except when she’s around the man who stole her heart years earlier, strikingly handsome, quiet, and reliable Pete Lacroux. After years of trying to get his attention and overwhelmed from dealing with her mother’s new cougar lifestyle, Jenna’s giving up on Peter—and is ready to explore other men.

As the eldest of five siblings, with an alcoholic father to care for, boat craftsman Pete Lacroux always does the right thing and has no time for a real relationship. He’s looking forward to seeing his friend Jenna, a welcome distraction who’s so damn sexy and so painfully shy that she equally entertains and confuses him.

When Jenna picks up a hard-bodied construction worker, jealousy ignites Pete’s true feelings, and he’s powerless to ignore the desires for Jenna he never realized he had.  But Pete’s not the quiet guy he appears to be, and his life is anything but conducive to a relationship. Can Jenna handle the real Pete Lacroux—the sexiest, most passionate alpha male she’s ever seen—or will she crack under pressure? And can Pete reclaim the life he once had without tearing apart his family?
SEASIDE SUMMERS is the newest addition to the LOVE IN BLOOM series, featuring a group of fun, sexy, and emotional friends who gather each summer at their Cape Cod cottages. They’re funny, flawed, and will have you begging to enter their circle of friends. You met them in READ, WRITE, LOVE, (The Remingtons, Book 5), follow these friends on their search for forever love in the Seaside Summers series. COMING SUMMER 2014.

Sarah's Review:
Thanks again to Tasty Book Tours and Melissa Foster for continuing to keep me hooked on these books and this amazing author!  I love these books, the characters, the settings, and the author who makes these characters come to life. 

I have been waiting for Jenna and Pete's story to happen since Leanne and Kurt's story.  I am so glad that I was able to read this story.  There has always been something about Jenna and Pete that I really wanted to see what would happen between them.  I was not disappointed at all with their romance! 

When you spend years around a person and you come to realize that you want to be something other than friends, what do you do?  Jenna decides that she is going to move one and try to forget Pete.  Pete realizes that he better figure out what he wants with Jenna before he loses her completely.

Jenna and Pete are both dealing issues involving their parents that needed to be addressed and acknowledged before they could really get to be together as a couple.  The parental issues were holding them both back to some degree.  I love how each one was there for the other one. 

I can't wait to see what happens next!  Amy and Tony need to come quick because I really want to know what happens there.
