Title: BAYSIDE PASSION
Author: Melissa Foster
Genre: Contemporary Romance

About BAYSIDE PASSIONS:
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. And of course, you'll see cameos from the Seaside Summers characters! 

In BAYSIDE PASSIONS...
When Emery Andrews's best friend, Desiree, moves away, falls in love, and opens a 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.

When 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.

All BAYSIDE SUMMERS books can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series:

ARC received for an honest review

I have not read the first book in the Bayside Summer series, however this did not affect my enjoyment of Bayside Passions at all.

I liked that our lovelies already knew each other well when the story starts (I assume it was all set up in the first book in the series).  I liked that they could dive right into their friendship and more.

I freaking adore Dean.  He is all kinds of swoonworthy and I was ready to scream at my kindle that if Emery didn't want him I would have him).

Now Emery - ugh, she frustrated me so much.  I couldn't connect, and even at the end of the book I still didn't like her.  I don't know exactly what it was, but nope, couldn't handle her at all.

Which made it had for me to get right into the story.  And I hated that.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the story line, I liked the main man and I liked the other characters in the book, but my dislike of our leading lady took me out of the story.

And that has never happened to me with a Melissa Foster book.

It is probably just a case of "it's not you, it's me" with this one.

I do look forward to going back and reading the first book, and look forward to what Ms Foster brings us next.
