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: 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.

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Seaside Dreams by Melissa Foster



Seaside Dreams
Love in Bloom # 21: Seaside Summers # 1
By: Melissa Foster
Releasing August 25th, 2014

Blurb

Bella Abbascia has returned to Seaside Cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, as she does every summer. Only this year, Bella has more on her mind than sunbathing and skinny-dipping with her girlfriends. She’s quit her job, put her house on the market, and sworn off relationships while she builds a new life in her favorite place on earth. That is, until good-time Bella’s prank takes a bad turn and a sinfully sexy police officer appears on the scene.

Single father and police officer Caden Grant left Boston with his fourteen-year-old son, Evan, after his partner was killed in the line of duty. He hopes to find a safer life in the small resort town of Wellfleet, and when he meets Bella during a night patrol shift, he realizes he’s found the one thing he’d never allowed himself to hope for—or even realized he was missing.

After fourteen years of focusing solely on his son, Caden cannot resist the intense attraction he feels toward beautiful Bella, and Bella’s powerless to fight the heat of their budding romance. But starting over proves more difficult than either of them imagined, and when Evan gets mixed up with the wrong kids, Caden’s loyalty is put to the test. Will he give up everything to protect his son—even Bella?

Sarah's  Review:
Thank you to Tasty Book Tours and Melissa Foster for providing me with another opportunity to read a great story.  When this went live, it was late because I was "kidnapped" for the weekend by one of my colleagues.  Fortunately, I was able to get in contact with Lisa and let her know.  

If you have been following this blog for any length of time, you know that I am a huge fan of Melissa's books.  I fall in love with her characters, her story lines, the places and the way she brings two characters together.  She has a way with words that she sucks me in very quickly!

I have been struggling how to review this books because I related to this book so much.  As a single parent, I connected with Caden's character immediately and even more so about the dating aspect being a single parent.   Caden struggles to figure out what he wants for himself personally and what he needs for his son. 

For Bella, we met her in Kurt and Leanna's story and she is back for the summer with some life decisions to make.   I also connected with Bella's character in the fact that she had to decide what was best for her and her happiness.  Career, location to live and eventually Caden.
