IN SEASIDE SECRETS…
Tony Black is the hottest surfer on the planet. He travels the world throughout the year and spends his summers on Cape Cod with his friends, at the Seaside cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He’s got his choice of women, but Amy Maples is the one he wants. Fourteen years ago she was his for an entire summer, until a devastating accident changed everything, and what they had seemed like it had never existed–at least for her.
.
Amy Maples is as consistent as the day is long. She’s spent summers on Cape Cod forever, she always does the right thing, and she’s spent years trying to reclaim the heart of Tony Black, the only man she’s ever loved. She’s back for a summer of fun with her friends at Seaside, only this year she’s been offered the opportunity of a lifetime thousands of miles away, and she’s decided to try one last time to reconnect with Tony. But having a relationship with Tony means dealing with her past–and dealing with her past may knock her to her knees.

Seaside Secrets
Love in Bloom: Seaside Summers
By: Melissa Foster
Narrated by: B.J. Harrison
There is nothing better than escape to Cape Cod. Melissa Foster takes us there once again with Seaside Secrets. Amy is so conscientious and loyal, her life has become consistent and a little boring. She let the love of her life go years ago, and now with an opportunity to take a job in Australia has come up and she has to make a decision. The biggest problem is that love is back for the summer. Tony Black is a surfer, and he and Amy were hot an heavy. But circumstances split them apart, and they have kept their secret. Their friendship has grown, but now with Amy on the verge of a new adventure, will Tony be able to let her go? This is sweet and passionate, and I loved every minute of their story. I love both of these characters. Amy is confident in her ability, but a little insecure when it comes to men. Her heart was given away, and she can’t get it back! Tony is more worldly, but when it comes to romance, this man has all the moves. He is swoony! And not only is their story a great listen, but the camaraderie of all the women and men from previous stories makes this series a fantastic ensemble piece. It really gives us a feeling of friends, family and community. Another wonderful listen!
BJ Harrison continues his narration of this series. He easily melds into his voices, keeping them all consistent throughout the books. I enjoy his story telling and look forward to more.

A fitting conclusion to the Lacroux family Seaside romances containing a wonderful group of friends, some humor and a lot of steamy scenes. Dissatisfied Princeton professor Matt takes a sabbatical in Seaside to write a book,celebrate the triple wedding of his siblings, help try to save his father’s hardware store, and to have a closer relationship with both his family and the woman he fantasizes about, his father’s employee,single mother Mira.
Seaside Secrets is book four in the Love in Bloom: Seaside Summers series. A group of friends meet at their Cape Cod cottages. They both want to reconnect, but Tony and Amy share a past that just might be too much to overcome. I really enjoyed this story and narrator. This author never fails to keep me reading (or listening) longer than intended. I definitely recommend this book.
I received books 1-3 and I liked it a lot so I bought book 4.
This is only the second book by Melissa that I have read and she fast becoming a favourite of mine.
This book is number four in the Seaside Secrets series, and the final instalment of the Love in Bloom series, and whilst I haven’t read the others it is clear that you can easily read this as a stand alone. Which is great for a series! I got a glimpse of Tony and Amy from book three and I desperately wanted to know their story.
Amy has loved Tony from afar since she first met him when she was 6 years old. Fast forward to them finally hooking up one summer before college when an accident shatters their relationship and friendship.
This book is a emotional journey for Amy and Tony as they reconnect in more way than one. They have to come to terms with what happened that summer and I have to admit I cried a few times throughout this book.
I loved reading their story, and the friendship the girls all have makes me slightly jealous – in a good way.
This book is Melissa Foster at her best. Amy & Tony have a secret. They’ve been besties for a long time & everyone thinks they’d make a cute couple. They all know that Amy has been in love with Tony forever. However, there’s a tragedy in their past that they just can’t get over. Amy has a job opportunity that will force her to move away so she decides to give Tony one more chance. Tony has been in love with Amy since they were teenagers. He’s hoping they can get beyond their past to create their future together.
I loved this book! It has great characters that invoke the reader’s sympathy from the beginning. The plot & dialogue touch the reader’s emotions – happiness, grief, despair, anger, passion, sense of family. All are represented in various parts of the story. This is a great addition to the Love in Bloom series!!
