Book: Bayside Heat Review & Giveaway


Bayside Heat (Bayside Summers Book 3) by [Foster, Melissa]
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 HEAT...
Drake Savage has always done the right thing, especially where beautiful and fiercely determined Serena Mallery is concerned-even when it means keeping his feelings for her to himself. Serena has always wanted more than what their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts has to offer, and Drake's roots are so deeply entrenched in the Cape, it's all he can do to watch her pack up her life and move away.

Serena has always had big dreams. As a teenager she dreamed of becoming an interior designer and marrying smart, musically inclined, sexy-as-sin Drake Savage. Now she's finally landed a killer job with a top interior design firm, but though she has spent the last four years working side by side with Drake, he's never made a move. Four years is long enough for her to accept reality, and her new job in Boston is the perfect way to move on. 

A weak moment leads to sizzling, sensual kisses, opening a door through which they've both been aching to walk. But Serena's determined not to give up her shot at the career she's always dreamed of, and Drake has loved her for too many years to stand in her way. With true love at their fingertips and a world of unstoppable passion igniting between them, can the two star-crossed lovers find their way to their happily ever after? 

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

***REVIEW***
Bayside Heat is my favorite of all the Bayside series so far. The chemistry between the lead characters is amazing and jumps right off the pages.  
Serena is a very independent, stubborn, strong, and determine female character. I really like how brave she is moving someplace new to go after her dreams. Sometimes those big moves don't always pan out the way we expect them to. At least her move wasn't too far away because she loves her close-net friends. Her was always known as temporary, yet Serena held out hope for years for her friend Drake to notice her as something more than sisterly.  
Drake is swoon worthy. He's cares deeply for his friends and is very loyal. He's bossy, stubborn, and very much the protector. He's willing to let keep his own desires a secret to allow Serena to go for her dreams. He wants her to be happy. Serena leaving finally gets him to open up about how he feels for her. 
There were times with these characters sexual tension and chemistry that I had to fan myself. Those scenes were very well written.  
I wish I had a friend group who are as close as the ones in Bayside. The way they pick on each other is highly amusing. Viola is my absolute favorite. She'll say and do anything she wants to. I hope she gets her own story. 

All BAYSIDE SUMMERS books can be read as standalone novels or as part of the series:
Bayside Desires Book 1
Bayside Passions Book 2
Bayside Heat Book 3
Bayside Escape (releasing 6th Feb, 2019)

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.

Bayside Passions (Bayside Summers #2)
Bayside Passions (Bayside Summers Book 2) by [Foster, Melissa]
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.

Book: Billionaire Auction Review & Giveaway


NEW RELEASE….
When a single independent woman falls for a single dad, she has to decide if she’s willing to accept the whole package.

Jennifer Palmer is not especially excited about attending the charity event, but because it helps homeless animals and because her best friend and roommate asked her to, she agrees to attend. Besides, it might be sort of fun bidding on an eligible billionaire and just what Jenny needs to move forward after the break up with her loser boyfriend, Brad.

Single dad, Chase Marlow is well-known in the community for his work with disadvantaged women and children. He also loves animals, so when he’s asked to be one of the auctioned billionaires, he steps up to the challenge.

Jenny isn’t planning on bidding, but when Chase enters the stage, all bets are off. After all, it’s just one date.

Can Jenny and Chase get that one date off the ground, or will there be too many obstacles in their way?

Available to buy from...... 

"A wonderful family love story that was very well written with enough creative descriptions to make the reader feel as though they were actually in the setting. Debbie White’s books are very well written, family friendly, and always an easy read."

***REVIEW***
Billionaire Auction is a good romance read.  
The beginning of the story caught my attention right away. As an animal lover myself, I felt connected to Jenny. Reading how Jenny is at the animal shelter and how she takes care of those pets make me miss volunteering at one.  
Both of the main characters have good hearts with how much they care for children and animals. They have that connection right away. Jenny and Chase seem like they would be good for each other. I was hoping for more chemistry between the two from the start, but the story starts off kind of slow.  
I questioned whether or not the story was worth the read during the slow part after the first chapter. I'm glad I stuck with the story because it turned out to be a very cute and sweet read.  
At times, Jenny's fear of allowing to give herself over to someone and be in a relationship again kept putting distance between her in Chase was frustrating. I understand Jenny's need to protect herself though. Those who have wear their heart on their sleeve when caring for others tend to protect their own heart the most when it comes to love.
