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.Hold on to your hat for Violet’s wildly hot love story! Lizza is … love story! Lizza is up to her old tricks again, and Violet is in for the surprise of a lifetime!
Two years ago Violet Vancroft was a nomadic artist who never wanted to put down roots and Andre Shaw was a prominent Boston physician whose roots ran too deep to unearth. Their love didn’t stand a chance-or at least that’s what Violet believed when she received a plea for help from the sister she’d never really known-so she snuck away like a thief in the night.
Now Andre travels the world setting up new medical clinics, and Violet has finally found the family she’d always craved and the roots she’d never known she wanted. When their paths cross unexpectedly, it’s not the reunion either one imagined. But they’ve never stopped loving each other, and after the dust of anger and hurt settles, passion ignites even hotter than before. As the end to Andre’s time at the Cape nears, reality sets in, leaving them no closer to a future than they were before. Violet and Andre are forced to dig deep to discover if they’re destined to live apart forever or if true love really can conquer all.

Bayside Escape by Melissa Foster is book Four in the Bayside Summer Series. This is the story of Violet Vancroft and Andre Shaw. This can be a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Violet and Andre were once hot and heavy into each other until Violet slipped away. Violet didn’t really know what she wanted it thought until she made contact again with her sister. Andre feeling the loss of her tried to move on with his live and his career. Then an unexpected meeting between the two set sparks flying again…but can they move past their first encounter to make this one their last? Such a fan of Ms. Foster writing. I can never recommend her books enough…Loved them.
Ti just finished reading an ARC Bayside Escape and I’m crazy about it! I will post a full review on by blog 3/11/19!
I really struggled with this one, didn’t like her much. A strong woman who is mush with the man she loves. This is their second chance after she deserted him. A romance with plenty of feels and raw moments between characters.
This book has edge. Still has a lot of romance and sexy scenes, but an edge that is a little raw. It’s totally wonderful. I also love catching up with everyone, learning more about others and the cross over with The Montgomery’s series. I love when all of Violet’s worlds come together. This series never has to end.
4.25 stars– BAYSIDE ESCAPE is the fourth instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult LOVE IN BLOOM: BAYSIDE SUMMERS erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends and family in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. This is Dr. Andre Shaw, and artist/inn owner Violet Vancroft’s story line. BAYSIDE ESCAPE, and subsequently BAYSIDE SUMMERS is another one of Melissa Foster’s spin off series from both the Love in Bloom and Seaside Summers series but can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Several characters and couples cross over for cohesion and familiarity.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Violet and Andre) BAYSIDE ESCAPE follows the second chance romance between Dr. Andre Shaw, and artist/inn owner Violet Vancroft. Two years earlier, Violet volunteering overseas fell in love with Dr. Andre Shaw but a call from her sister found our heroine disappearing without a trace, breaking Andre’s heart in the process. Fast forward to present day wherein Violet will come face to face with her past, at her sister’s wedding. Enter Dr. Andre Shaw, the man with whom Violet fell in love. What ensues is the rekindling romance between Andre and Violet, and the potential fall-out as Andre’s time back in the States, comes with an expiry date.
Andre Shaw hasn’t stopped looking for Violet Vancroft but was caught unaware of her true identity. Meeting Violet at aher sister’s wedding brought with it painful memories of loss and heartbreak. Seeing Andre on the arm of someone she knew sent Violet into overdrive where it concerned her love for the man she left behind Having finally set down roots, Violet struggles with Andre’s need to pursue the lifestyle she once enjoyed.
The relationship between Andre and Violet is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people hurt by secrets and lies, and Violet’s need to run when things got serious. Mature to understand where everything went wrong, Andre and Violet agree to start fresh, on the road to their happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The character driven story line has a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and fun secondary and supporting characters. The premise is fun, fast paced, inviting and entertaining ; the characters are sexy, sassy, and energetic; the romance is seductive, spicy and provocative. BAYSIDE ESCAPE is an animated, lively and spirited story line of second chances.
This is my first book by Melissa Foster, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was an easy read with interesting characters. The only problem that I had was that there were so many other characters in the book. I’m sure that if I had read previous works by Ms Foster, I would have loved to see and hear about previous couples from other stories. The good thing is that you didn’t need to read previous books in the series to read this one. But I overlooked my confusion and concentrated on Violet and Andre. I think that Andre was just about the perfect guy, especially for Violet. He was patient and understanding even after the events in Ghana. Violet was interesting and had more facets to her than she showed to everyone who knows and loves her. I enjoyed this book and will look into previous books by Melissa Foster.
I was so excited to go back to Bayside & visit the gang there. I enjoyed reading Violet’s story & the reasons why she is how she is. It was so moving to find out what all she went through from childhood through being an adult and see how her relationship with Desiree has grown-it was fun to see their sisterly relationship. I loved how she was there for Desiree & Rick, for their wedding & doing what she could to help. It was also interesting to find out about her history with Andre who is a new to Bayside character, who I absolutely loved. I cannot wait to go back to Bayside again.
Second chance romance at its best. Two years ago Violet walked away from love when fear and past baggage got in the way, but it is not until Andre shows up to her sister’s wedding as her mother’s date does the feeling of loss really hit home. Can Violet open her heart to not only Andre but to the family she has not let see the real Violet? Can Andre make up for the two years they had lost? With absolutely beautiful characters, once again Melissa Foster creates a world the reader instantly wants to be part of. Characters form prior books help mold the storyline into a fabulous read. I cannot wait to read more in the series.
Bayside Escape (Bayside Summers Book 4) by Melissa Foster …. These books just keep getting better and better… This a great second chance romance.. I always feel blessed when I read one of Melissa’s books. It was great fun catching up with all the Bayside friends and meeting the new ones. Violet(tough as nails..motorcycle riding artist with soft heart that she keeps hidden) Andre(doctor who spends time in developing countries..where he meets and falls for Violet) There are so many twists and turns, tears, laughter, steamy sex, misunderstandings, makeups, and just a great story all leading to a very HEA. I can’t wait for BAYSIDE ROMANCE Gavin and Harper’s story in September.
Love, love, loved this heartwarming, sexy love story of two people from different lifestyles that work thru their issues and see that the love of their life will always be there for them, helping them to see another side of the coin and be able to grow and connect with all friends and loved ones. Melissa always has a way of making her readers feel they are right there in the story. Truly enjoyed it!!!
This was on of the most captivating, emotional stories I’ve read lately! From the first page, I was pulled into the story & couldn’t put it down until the end. Violet has a strong, tough outside shell that she shows to 90% of the people she knows. Underneath that she has a tender, vulnerable side. Her upbringing has taught her the importance of keeping that side of her hidden. Every time she got close to someone, her mother decided to move on & she was the new one again. The only one she let in was Andre. He overwhelmed her with his patience, tenderness & love. Their chemistry just jumps off the page & impresses you with their connection. They manage to bring out the best in each other. When they were together in Ghana after they met, Violets questions & interests made Andre realize how much he enjoyed what he was doing & what he didn’t like about it. She inspired him to make changes in his life & his future. This book does have hot sex & some language so if you are sensitive to that, this isn’t the book for you. I will say that I just felt that it added to the story, attitudes & atmosphere of the book. It illustrated their lives, love & romance perfectly!
