Bayside Passions: book tour, review, & giveaway!

NEW RELEASE…

Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod.

BAYSIDE SUMMERS is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to

In BAYSIDE PASSIONS…

When Emery Andrews’s best friend, Desiree, moves away, falls in love, and opens an inn all in one summer, she feels her absence like a missing limb. Until she visits over the holidays and meets sinfully hot Dean Masters, who’s as easy on the eyes as he is to talk to. After returning home, what starts as a flurry of late-night flirtations quickly turns into a deep connection and unexpected friendship. Now, months later, Desiree offers Emery a job teaching yoga at the inn. Adventurous Emery jumps at the chance and heads for Wellfleet, Massachusetts, to reunite with her BFF and her new close friend, Dean.

After months of sharing their lives, and their secrets, over video chats and phone calls, Dean’s ready to move things to the next level. The fact that Emery seems oblivious to the sparks between them and has recently put her foot down about dating friends just means he’ll have to bide his time.

Then Emery finds a naked man in her kitchen the first morning she’s there, Dean doesn’t hesitate to move her into his guest room. Maybe now Emery will see what’s right before her eyes–although that guy she’s got a date with might be a problem.

My Review:

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for the latest, fabulous novel by Melissa Foster, Bayside Passions! I always love Melissa’s novels, but let me just say that this one was so damn good! Can men and women ever just be friends? Can they transition from friends to lovers? Can we overcome scars from our pasts and have a healthy relationship??

This fantastic story is about Dean and Emery. Dean has been living and working at the resort with Drake and Rick, and met Emery awhile back when Rick and Desiree got engaged. After building a solid and close friendship via phone calls, texts, and Skype – Emery is moving to Wellfleet to start a Yoga business focused on back care. Dean is beyond ecstatic that Emery is moving to the area, but knows that she also considers them “just friends.” Dean has to find a way to convince Emery that she is more than enough, that they are more than just friends, and that it’s worth the risk. 

So… Ladies… Let me warn you about Dean. This man is sexy, hot, intelligent, caring, romantic, and the list goes on and on. Prepare to completely fall in love within the first 40-50 pages of the novel. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Emery too with all of her individual quirks, but dear God, Dean steals the show in this one. And don’t even get me started on the hot, steamy scenes… Prepare to turn up the a/c or take a cold shower my friends. 

Moreoever, this novel had a lot of relevant and appropriate themes regarding healing from broken relationships and the effects your parents’ divorce can have on your own relationship views. Also, it touches on the burden of not living up to parents’ expectations, and caring enough about your own self to not care what they think.

As always, Melissa’s characterization and plot drew me in from page one. This is definitely a page turner and will definitely make you believe in friends making the best soulmates. I absolutely loved and devoured this novel and cannot wait for Serena and Drake’s story!

Bayside Desires (Bayside Summers #1)
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.

Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half-sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.

Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.
