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, and easy to relate to.In BAYSIDE FANTASIES…Tegan Fine has never had a plan—life, business, or otherwise. … plan—life, business, or otherwise. But she’s always had goals—to laugh daily and to pay it forward as often as she is able, just like her favorite uncle always did. After inheriting her great-uncle’s amphitheater, Tegan makes a risky move to a charming small town on Cape Cod to carry on her uncle’s legacy and hopefully expand the business with her new friend, Harper. Unfortunately, those goals aren’t doing much to help her plan a business strategy for her new endeavor. With Harper counting on her and her uncle’s legacy at stake, she swears off all distractions, determined to succeed. If only she could stop bumping into a certain arrogant, witty, and excruciatingly hot businessman who tweaks her nerves and invades her every thought. Including her late-night fantasies.
Self-professed workaholic Jett Masters never slows down. He lives life with no attachments—except to his clients, to whom he gives his all. A reluctant trip to his hometown has him itching to shake the ghosts of his past and get back to spinning deals and adding to his investments. But when he comes face-to-face with a gorgeous, handsy woman who is quite possibly the snarkiest and most disorganized person he’s ever met, sparks fly, and his sharp mind stumbles. He doesn’t even know her name, but he can’t get her out of his mind.
A chance encounter turns into a wild, sexy night, and their chemistry is off the charts—even if their ideals, and their lives, are worlds apart. Neither Jett nor Tegan is looking for more. Becoming friends with benefits seems like the perfect solution. But when they are trapped together in torrential weather, they work side by side in the aftermath, and every passionate kiss deepens their connection. Secrets are shared, trust is built, and no promises dare be made. As their lives move on, lines begin to blur, hearts get hurt, and their true selves come into focus. Tegan and Jett are left wondering if they make the perfect storm, or if they’ve reached the end of their bayside fantasy.

A perfect, beautiful escape from Melissa Foster!!
I can’t get enough of Melissa Foster’s Bayside series and this one packs a beautiful love story, moving from enemies, to friends, to friends with benefits and more. A sexy hero and smart-ass heroine make it a perfect summer read!
I absolutely loved this story about Tegan who is a free spirit and loves her life on her own terms and Jett Masters who is a die-hard workaholic and stays far away from family or any type of romantic connection. The two of them meet in a few serendipitous ways but Tegan thinks Jett is one of those cocky playboys and wants nothing to do with him even if their attraction is off the charts. I loved the banter they had together, the ease of their relationship, and the way they made each other better people especially when Tegan shows Jett it’s ok to let go sometimes and relax. Super cute read with lots of steam and sweet moments.
Can’t say it was bad, a good story line just didn’t care about graphic details on all the sex and there was many.
I loved this story. Tegan has moved to the Cape to run the amphitheater her Uncle had left her. She is full of energy and takes things as they come. Jett is home to attend a bachelor party and then will leave again. He grew up on the Cape, but rarely visits because of his history with his family. When they meet by chance, there are sparks immediately, but they don’t get each other’s name. When they end up at the same bachelorette/bachelor party they decide they will be friends with benefits since they both don’t have the time for a relationship. I loved Jett and Tegan finding their way into a deeper relationship and watching Jett repair his relationship with his family. It also was a steamy read.
Va-voom. If you’re into more than just romance, but don’t want really filthy dialog, this book may be just the right read for you. My, oh my. Warning… You’ll probably want the entire series.
This captivating and emotional romance is a great addition to the Bayside Summers series! I love the world that Foster has created that is filled with so much love, quirky and loyal friendships, and lots of steamy passion. Jett and Tegan are complete opposites. Jett is a driven workaholic, avoiding the painful memories of his past. Teagan is carefree, and wants to spread joy, and help others. She has inherited her Uncle’s amphitheater, and want’s to carry on his legacy, but doesn’t have the business sense to do it. They have instant attraction and sparks when they first meet, but Tegan is unsure of the cocky, sexy man. Jett can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous, sassy woman, and when they meet again, he is determined to win her over. They have a night of sizzling passion, but neither is looking for more. They have a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement as he comes and goes for business. They not only have fiery chemistry but he helps her with her dreams and she helps him make peace with his past that he has been running from for so long. But can they be truly happy with stolen moments when their hearts become involved, and Jett has lived for work for so long? I really loved Jett and Tegan, they were so different but so perfect together, and I really cheered for their HEA! This sweet, engaging, and sexy romance is filled with witty banter, quirky characters, awkward situations, and fiery chemistry. Narrators Andi Arndt, and Aaron Shedlock were wonderful at bringing these characters and this quaint seaside community to life! They infused each character with such emotion, laughter, and passion making this fun, sweet & sexy romance even better.
A carefree spirit and a troubled millionaire… Tegan goes to Bayside to takeover the theater she inherited from her uncle, and meets Jett.
Now, I don’t know how Melissa Foster keeps coming up with these heroes, but I really want to meet the inspiration for Jett, he’s the Bayside answer to Treat…
Through ups and downs, storms and distance, these two work from FWB to way more, with heart, tears and more, and prove love shows up when you least expect it.
This is such a good book!
It’s a feel-good, steamy & moving romance.
After a chance meeting, filled with flirtatious teasing,
Jett & Tegan, are spellbound, until they see each other again.
That’s when the sparks flew.
I loved everything about this beautiful & romantic love story!!
Tegan’s inherited her uncle’s business and has plans to turn it into an amphitheater, paying it forward and keeping his legacy alive. When she meets an obviously uptight, gorgeous Armani clad businessman, she can see there’s something more to him than just his fancy suit. Can she open Jett up to love? Help him live a life filled with laughter and love?
I loved this heartwarming and sexy love story. Tegan and Jett are sooo good together. A pair of opposites who see the best in each other, who bring out the best in each other. And surrounded by the small town charm of Bayside, they couldn’t have chosen a better place to find love with each other.
I absolutely love Tegan and Jett’s story. A story that starts with them deciding a FWB relationship is all either of them can have or wants to have and ends being a very special journey with beautiful ILY’s and happily ever after. Just what the doctor ordered. I never tire of these fantastic Melissa Foster stories because they are always filled with everything I want in a romance and so much more. As always we get so much of all of the other characters we have come to know and love through these interconnected series that she writes and I really enjoy that! Can’t wait for more!
Tegan Fine returns to Cape Cod, but not for a temporary visit this time. She taking a chance and returning to hopefully make her late uncle proud. Tegan’s uncle left her his beloved amphitheater and house in hopes she’d find “home”. Tegan is quirky, thoughtful, a dreamer, intelligent, artistic, multitalented, and a hard worker. She and her friend Harper hope to continue her uncle’s legacy, while making the amphitheater their own. Tegan has wonderful ideas, but they’re scattered—on post-it notes! All it takes is a chance meeting with a self proclaimed workaholic to iron out a plan—if she’ll give him a chance.
Mr. Armani (aka Jett Masters), a self made millionaire, KNOWS how to run a profitable business. He purchases businesses that are floundering and makes them profitable. He’s an excellent businessman, but a lousy brother and son. Vowing not to repeat the mistakes of his father, Jett does EXACTLY that. Until he runs into Tegan at a gas station in the pouring rain. After a couple of chance meetings, with chemistry that’s off the charts, they decide to become FWB. No heartbreaks or love involved, right? It’ll work, right? Until it doesn’t…
I loved Tegan and Jett. They were sooo perfectly matched! Total opposites! I loved that Jett offered Tegan advice, but didn’t take over. He allowed her to voice her opinions and ideas, then make her own decisions. He helped her “organize” her thoughts without downplaying her ideas. He was supportive and NOT domineering. I enjoyed how Tegan, ever so slightly, nudged Jett into digging deep into his past and encouraged Jett to try to make amends with his family. I loved how Tegan was able to “see” the real Jett. Jett was truly a softy and great with kids! Between the little girl’s funny names for her dad’s customers and Mr. Armani…too funny! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
Great read. Melissa Foster always delivers a good story and it’s great to get back to all the folks at Bayside. Looks to me like I have three or four more to read and I can’t wait
FUN READ
Not my first read by the author, she is one of my top favorites and also an author I first read many moons ago. That said YES I have read almost every single of her books! This series is one to definitely dive into!!
First off this book made me fall in love again with the series, something about it aside from it being the longest & I never wanted it to end. The words, if you’ve never read MF she is a treat in the romance world. All of her books are. The characters, the flow, the story line…addicting!
Our hero Jett is something else, he works really hard but also is humble and helping, always looking for the next thing..when that comes..his ‘i don’t get attached or give out feelings’ feelings are going to be on the line. Our heroine Teagan will give Jett a run for his money, literally in some ways because she is equally hardworking and driven. You can’t not love her because she brings out the best in everything she touches. These two navigating through life and “fate” that may have played a part…it’s incredible, romantic, swooning, sexy and fun! You will get sucked in and never want to get out! *sigh* I want to re-read it just to re-live it again! I want NO need more in this series, can we just have it never end Melissa?!

“That man does not kiss. He claims, with every single touch.”
This book kept me engaged from cover to cover. I didn’t want it to end. Luckily for me I somehow didn’t realize there are several books before this one. I’m looking forward to many more hours with the Bayside couples and finding out their backstories.
“I like beautiful women of any size, but what I find most attractive are smart, interesting women who don’t blow smoke to get into my pockets or my pants.”
This book had me smiling, laughing out loud, frustrated, crying, hopeful, fanning myself, proud and wanting to join in on the adventures.
“Never felt like that, never been so lost and so found at the same time.”
Bayside Fantasies is book number 6 in Melissa Foster’s Bayside Summer series. I cannot tell you how much I absolutely love the continuation of the Bayside group. I want to be neighbors and best friends with this group of characters Melissa has created. Jett and Teagan are the bomb dot com. From the moment Teagan sees Jett she is in insta-lust. The Bayside friends all have their opinion on Jett and his ability to have a relationship with Teagan. I laughed, sighed, moaned and cried during this fantastic story. I have to say Jett is going to be hard to beat in the book boyfriend world that Melissa Foster has created for her Fosterettes. As Teagan and Jett’s relationship changes I fell more in love with Bayside. Loved seeing all of my favorite Bayside friends – and the visit from some of our old Wild friends.
4.5 Stars
I couldn’t put this one down. The characters are great and I loved revisiting characters from previous books. I loved Jett and Tegan. They had a ton chemistry. Their connection is instant, but for two people who don’t want commitment it’s going to be a long road ahead. This book has the heat, but it also delivers on heart and humor. I found myself laughing quite often while reading this one. Jett, now he doesn’t make a good impression. Hang in there with him because he’s going redeem himself. The characters had me so invested in their journey. This book also has me hopeful for a few of unattached characters. It has me eagerly awaiting more.
WARNING: I’m about to go 110% fan girl! Okay, cool!
I’m a longtime fan of Melissa Foster’s work. She’s an exceptional writer. Her characters have so much depth of personality. I always expect a lot from her, and still with Bayside Fantasies she managed to significantly surpass my high expectations. It is PERFECTION!
The characters form a rich tapestry, complete with texture and contours. All the relationships feel genuine and, when appropriate, authentically complicated. Not one expression, reaction, or scene is phoned-in. There are no silly contrived grievances to limp the story forward. Everything here meaningfully contributes to the world building, character development and relationships thus enriching the story. Then there are the h and H, Tegan and Jett. Where do I start?! The sexy is super hot. The romance is tailored (no standard red roses here) and their honesty and acceptance is next level. Before reading Bayside Fantasies, I would easily say that Ms. Foster is one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. After reading Bayside Fantasies, she’s unequivocally claimed the top spot. Perhaps the thing that makes her writing in general, and this story in particular, so special is the fact that she takes the reader beyond the point when most reads end – the typical HEA. She allows us to see Tegan and Jett thriving in their relationship — supporting one another, making the hard choices and working to combine their lives. It’s so good! If you’ve never read a Melissa Foster title, there are no bad places to start — choose the beginning of this series, or dive-in right here. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Another masterpiece of beautiful characters and exquisite romance! This author always creates characters and gives us all we need to know about them in wonderful detail. Tegan is a delight right from the beginning with her creative mind, whimsical personality and beauty. I loved her first meeting with the hunky, workaholic Jett. She turned his world upside down in the best way. And he was just a dream in studly proportions. Shivers and heat! Even with his tenuous family drama he’s a sexy dreamboat. The way he jumped in to help Tegan with her business plan was wonderful. I loved all the friends and family in this book but by now there’s a lot to keep up with. Speaking of…I can’t wait for Daphne and Jock’s story. They both deserve a HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
