#ARCBookReview, #Giveaway: Bayside Desires (Love in Bloom: Bayside Summers #1) by Melissa Foster
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 Desires…
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.
All Bayside books can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series:

ARC Book Review:

Bayside Desires is the first book in Melissa Foster’s Bayside Summers series and as like all her books here too there is plenty of humorous banter, crossover characters, heartfelt and flirty romance, an inspiring battle of the past demons and rich emotional upheaval.
Despite being a part of the bigger Love in Bloom series, this book can be read as a standalone story.
The hero, Rick Savage has seen tragedy in his life that has left him with a bruised and scarred soul. He has everything in his life but still feels empty inside. Desiree Cleary is a preschool teacher and has seen her own share of heartbreaking sadness and disappointments in the form of an indifferent and absentee mother. It is attraction at first glance when these two meet and both are determined to enjoy the Bayside summer to the fullest before each one returns to their former life.
I enjoyed visiting the small coastal town and meeting the many characters introduced here. The romance is flirty, steamy and heartfelt that had me smiling and enjoying the interactions between Rick and Desiree. The connection that they have is something special and it was entertaining watching them fall for as well as enrich each other’s lives. Desiree’s sister, Violet and her beat friend, Emery are intriguing and fun characters and have me wanting to read their stories soon. Same goes for Rick’s siblings and family.
A special start to a promising series, Bayside Desires is a fun summer read that kept me entertained and left me wanting to read more of the characters. 4 stars out of 5 to it and recommended to all romance lovers above eighteen years of age.
I received an ARC for review from the author and the tour organizers and I am very thankful to them. The above is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.
