In Bayside Desires...

As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous beachfront resort where he works with his best friends and brother, and plenty of beautiful women to keep him company. When Desiree Cleary moves in next door to take care of her mother's estate, Rick sets his sights on the sexy and oh-so sweet pre-school teacher. But Desiree's sister isn't keen on the fast-talking playboy making moves on the younger sister she's never had a chance to get to know. And she has other ideas in store - like opening Summers Inn, a bed and breakfast that could be big-time competition for Rick's resort.

Great Listen

In Bayside Desires, we get to meet Rick Savage and Desiree Cleary. I had the enjoyment of listening to the audiobook. B.J. Harrison was the narrator and like always, he does a great job with the voices. Rick owns a resort with his brother and friend. Desiree is a preschool teacher. Desiree receives an email from her mother summoning her to the Cape making it seem she is very ill. But when she gets to the Cape its a whole other story.
From the first time Rick and Desiree meet when Rick accidently drenches Desiree in water to their first date which is a whole other surprise, their chemistry has been amazing.
They have such a great connection. They are sweet and loving. I could not stop listening and picturing it in my head and smiling. Their story was perfect. I loved it.

Desiree & Rick

Melissa Foster’s Cape Cod series, Bayside Summers Book 1 Bayside Desires doesn’t disappoint!

I’ve both read the book and listened to the audiobook expertly narrated by B.J. Harrison.

Half sisters Desiree and Violet are summoned to the Cape by their flighty mother Lizza, who was not above using manipulation to get her way. No sooner had they arrived under false pretenses than their mother leaves for another adventure making them responsible for the mortgage on the family house that they both hold dear.

They could leave the Cape, lose the house or work together to save the property and maybe, just maybe, forge a kinship with each other that's always been missing. Throw in Cosmos, the pool loving dog and uber sexy neighbor Rick Savage and get ready for a summer romance!

But is that all it will be when the summer ends? I love the way Rick couldn't take his eyes off Desiree from the very first minute he spotted her, couldn't let he get away without meeting her. It was sweet, romantic and had you cheering for them from the get-go! They felt fated to be together. Their chemistry was hot!

It was easy to identify with Desiree, who was easily shocked and considered a prude by her badass sister Violet, who is tough and sweet, and who has her own issues to deal with and seems like a polar opposite to Desiree. It was an eye opener for both women who thought the other had the better life and each missed out on so much of each other growing up separated due to the choices their mother made.

Rick has his own demons to deal with and it's easy to feel for all he's been through and the reasons why he's moved away from family and the Cape. He was so torn up by past tragedy and then faced leaving and going back to his "real life" and workaholic existence.

Like all of Melissa's books there are wonderful supporting characters: family and friends that you can't wait to read their HEAs! I loved Cosmos and the way he brought Desiree and Rick together. I loved the woman on the dock that gave Rick advice at a time he really needed it. I loved the way the sisters worked together and learned so much from each other (Violet teaching Desiree about sex toys!!!), the girls rediscovering their creative talents and encouraging each other.

There's so much love, tenderness, romance and heat, all set on beautiful Cape Cod! This is a must listen to!

Walking on the sunshine has never felt so good. 

Kleenex is a must. Smiles are abundant and heart tingles are a given.  Foster and Harrison team up to add a ton of heat to the summer by adding a little holiday to the heart. Rick and Desiree take love thy neighbor in a surprising direction. Home, heart and family add some dramatic twists as they make their presence known. Yet they do not take away that warm, welcoming feeling. Walking on the sunshine has never felt so good. 

Sweet, funny, passionate, and heartwarming!

This is the first book in the Bayside Summers Series, a small town romance. Rick and Desiree's story is so sweet, funny, passionate, and heartwarming. This is a great start to the series. Good narration from B.J. Harrison.

Hot & Sexy audiobook

Rick and Desiree meet in a very unique way. That introduction sets the stage for this hot, funny and heartwarming romance from Melissa Foster. The narration of B. J. Harrison drew me in from the beginning. The characters were quite interesting as both sisters, Violet and Desiree, seemed to shed some of their hang ups. It really is a sexual awakening for Desiree and a healing of sorts for both Rick and Desiree. I loved how they came together and B. J. Harrison reading Melissa Foster’s words was the perfect combination. Can’t wait for more Bayside audio books.

GREAT READ!

I really enjoyed this book! This book is full of romance, drama, humor and familiar characters from previous books. The narration was great and kept me entertained! The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. I can't wait to read the next book in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Amazing listening!

Audiobook Review…Oh how I love BJ Harrison’s voice. He brings characters to life, he tells their stories with emotion and love, and he makes the listener feel like they are living alongside the characters. There is so much heat between Rick and Desiree that I am sure I blushed a few times. Melissa Foster has just brought to life an alpha male who understands that his woman deserves to be loved over and over again.

Ebook Review…Just when I thought Melissa couldn’t write another series that I would love more than the last she comes out with The Bayside Summers Series. These are fun, easy going, real, and loving characters with true to life problems and relationships. There are alpha males who dote on their women, women who are flirty fun and totally committed to their males.

Rick Savage makes a splash to get Desiree’s attention before he even knows her name. From that point on their relationship takes off. There is sweet talks and dates, steamy kisses and hot sex, along with deep talks and letting each other into their lives. While Rick isn’t perfect he is perfect for Desiree. Desiree isn’t looking for a relationship but knows that when the right person walks into her life she can’t let him go.

Bayside Desires had me laughing and enjoying every page. There was some more serious parts which made the story just that more realistic. No relationship is easy without complications and Melissa Foster is amazing at keeping her characters true to themselves and their lives.

Outside of Rick and Desiree’s relationship, my favorite part was seeing the sisters come together again. Having been raised apart from each other they didn’t have a strong relationship and I enjoyed seeing them learn to get along and accept their differences.

My Thoughts on Bayside Desires

This was a really good kick off to a new series by Melissa Foster.

From the main characters Rick and Desiree to the secondary ones, and the plot, pacing, and level of steam. It all combined to make a really good story I enjoyed sitting back and listening to.

There were several family dynamics and issues to deal with. Things like strained relationships and loss had to be worked through. But I really liked how it all came together along with yet another strong narration performance by BJ Harrison.

amazing book

Awesome start to a new series. This book is about Desiree Cleary and Rick Savage. I am so in love with this book. It is such a good summer book!! I am in love with all of the characters. This book has everything from rekindling family relationships to super hot sex. Melissa never disappoints and this book is no different!! I can't wait for the rest of the series!! BJ Harrison did a great job on the narration!!

Great new series

Rick Savage is co-owner of the Bayside Resorts, he also has a wonderful job with his best friends in Washington DC, where he will be returning at the end of summer.
Desiree Cleary was tricked by her mother and left her very organized, structured life and ended up in Bayside for the summer running her mother's art gallery with her half sister who she barely knows.
When Rick sees Desiree he is immediately drawn to her. They fall for each other instantly, the get close fast and share their past and concerns with each other. Desiree is becoming more relaxed and Rick is learning how to have fun again. Bayside Desire is a fun, flirty, sexy read that you don't want to put down once you start. I absolutely loved the audio version of Bayside Desires. B.J. Harrison has a wonderful voice and brought Rick and Desiree's story alive.
