About this ebook


SEASIDE SUMMERS features 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.


All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance.


IN SEASIDE DREAMS...

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?

Seaside Dreams by Melissa Foster Seaside Summers #1 ~ Love in Bloom Series Summer friends are all together again and Bella is trying to figure out how to tell her best friends that she is leaving her job in Connecticut, selling her house and moving to Wellfleet to set up a high school work study program. She is “thinking with her head” and not doing relationships...or so she says...when she falls into the arms of police officer Caden Grant. With him thinking she could be the one and her thinking she has to avoid commitments it takes a bit of time for them to figure out whether or not they are even dating. Caden’s son adds a bit of drama now and then and the friends and some guys they hve their eyes on also play parts in this first in a series book that was a delight to read. There were a few times I wanted to smack Bella or Caden and I had a pretty good idea what the plot of the book was going to be ~ that said...it was a fun way to spend the day today and I look forward to reading book two when it comes out. Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars

The relationship between Cade and Bella was just as sweet as I expected, made even more so by the way he subtly persisted when she was reluctant to get involved, and when they finally did take the plunge, the heat level was incredible. And it was so cute how Cade loved that mischievous side of Bella that didn’t one hundred percent mesh with his law-upholding cop side. The only thing that bothered me (and it’s more a personal preference than any fault with the writing) was that even though Cade was the one to put figurative distance between them, Bella beat him to the punch in insisting they had something worth fighting for. It made for a good show of how Bella’s heart overrode the logic that initially made her put off any semblance of a relationship, but it would have been nice to see Cade get to bat first. ***FicCentral received this book from Tasty Book Tours for free in exchange for an honest review. Even so, we're far too opinionated to let a freebie influence our thoughts or the contents of the reviews we post here.

I enjoyed all the chapter's, really crazy woman but see so much of myself in each one. If only people were honest enough with themselves they would love to live this kind of life as it keeps you glued to the book. Thankfor allowing me to read the book for free.
