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.

Two strangers bump into each other and quickly cloud each of their thoughts.
Tegan has inherited her great uncle’s business. Temporarily moving to Cape Cod where her uncle lived. Her uncle has a plan for her even after passing. She doesn’t know what his plan is but she is happy to keep his dream and passion alive. She also has her own plans for his business.
Jett is what we all call a true workaholic. He puts work first and family last. He has drive and motivation and only wants what is best for his clients. It isn’t often he returns to hometown of Cape Cod but when he does, his world gets flipped upside down.
This story is so cute and not as I expected honestly. Just when I thought I knew something was going to happen the opposite happened. I loved the way she wrote in this book and how true to life some comments where. Jett might be my favorite character I have read this month!
Oh my favorite writing fairy has sent out a tale of two hearts, one a workaholic and the other no plan but definitely goals. Bayside Fantasies definitely a much needed romance book at this particular time in life. Grab it and get away from life and hang out with friends at Bayside on the beach.
Teagan has inherited her great-uncle’s amphitheater. She has moved back to her great-uncle’s house on Cape Cod and her and Harper have so many plans for this amphitheater. She’s totally focused and doesn’t have time for distractions…until Jett enters her world.
Jett is a workaholic and doesn’t want/need/have time for anything other than his clients. That is until he meets Teagan.
Jett and Teagan had some major chemistry going on! I enjoyed their journey together.
Jett and Teagan…YIPPEEEEEE!!! I always say I love each character that Ms. Foster writes, and I fall in love with each but I really think this is my most favorite character pairing and book. I am awful at writing myself (hence why I read) but the best I can do it give it 5 stars as that is what it deserves!!! I just wanted more, more and more…I could not put it down. Every book is special but this one was just “more” for me!!!
Another check in the win for Melissa Foster! A great read to escape daily life and fall in love with some new Bayside Characters. Neither Tegan or Jett were looking for a deep relationship when they meet and spend some steamy nights in a storm. But neither of them can get the other out of their mind. Tegan is trying to carry on her uncle’s legacy at his outdoor theater and Jett is a business dynamo. Together they are a great team – thinking about business or helping their community recover from the aftermath of the storm. Learning how to transition from individuals looking for a good time to friends with benefits to so much more was a great story. I really enjoyed this book!
This is my first book in Melissa Foster’s, “Bayside” series. There were a LOT of characters to keep track of. They were either related or long-time friends, but all were very intertwined in each other’s lives.
This is a story about Tegan, who comes to the Cape from Maryland after she inherits her great-uncle’s house & Amphitheater. She’s an independent-minded free spirit, who has big plans to keep her uncle’s legacy of children’s plays going, while venturing out on some of her own plans too.
Jett, who is a local & grew up on the Cape, comes home as infrequently as possible. He’s got a strained relationship with his father, but is close to his mom & 1 brother, but mostly his grandmother. He is extremely successful in his career as a businessman & is worth millions.
A chance encounter puts Tegan in Jett’s path and sparks fly instantly for both, though it’s just a glance at a gas station. When they meet again at a local restaurant, they feel as if fate has stepped in, though they both agree they’re too busy with work to be anything serious, so they decide to act on their feelings & become “Friends with Benefits.”
Their story continues from here with challenges for both of them as they navigate this new arrangement in their busy lives.
I enjoyed the book, but every conversation, even with Jett’s grandmother, is nothing but sexual innuendos. Everyone is so pushy about being in everyone’s business (except for Daphne who I really liked). Even Tegan just pushed & pushed Jett to ‘spill’ everything to her and then turns around & tells her girlfriends about it. Her friends who knew Jett growing up just think he’s a “player” & that Tegan will only get hurt in the end. I’m sure she spilled things about Jett to them because she was defending him, but his pain from his past was his & he only shared it with Tegan. I just didn’t like how she felt the need to share this with all her friends.
I loved where the book takes place & some of the people in the story. I think I will try to read the first book in the series to get a better understanding of the secondary characters.
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This is my second Melissa Foster book and I am totally infatuated with her writing. I keep meaning to go back and read the rest of this series, along with the other series that also coincide with it… I never have the time but they are sitting on my TBR and patiently waiting on me to get to them. And I can’t wait until I am able to.
Jett and Tegan are everything! Seriously. Tegan is my hero. She isn’t afraid to take on a challenge, she’s adventurous and fun… and she is my soul sister. Then there is Jett. This growly man pushed all the right buttons when it came to how he was. Even when he didn’t know he was doing it, he was everything a boyfriend is and more. And the way he is with Tegan is seriously so good and beautiful. The two of them together are literal fireworks.
I was engaged in their story from the very beginning, needing to know more about the man behind the suit. And I am in love with how Melissa intricately composed their stories, creating a love story that is emotional and beautiful. This story had me laughing and smiling, crying when I needed to, and just all around in love with the characters – even the secondary characters.
I can’t wait to go back and read the other stories because I know Melissa delivered on them as beautifully as she delivered on this one!
Four stars for this beautifully written romance that has you nearly in tears when the end happens because you just aren’t ready to say goodbye to the world she created.
Jett’s life is all about building his empire. Tegan is spending her time honoring her late uncle’s legacy. There was a sizzle as hot as the sun the first time they were in the same room. They couldn’t take their eyes off of each other. Jett is the perfect book boyfriend. I am talking the best of all the hundreds of books I have read. Tegan is just the right amount of beauty, sassy and fun. Bayside Fantasies is a MUST HAVE book that you will want to read more than once. I LOVED IT!!!
Where to begin? This book has turned into one of my all-time favorites. Why? The character development that propels the story. There were parts where I had tears from sorting through Harvey’s belongings, Rowan’s heartfelt offer to help to hearing of Harvey and Adele’s incredible love story.
Tegan Fine inherited her Uncle Harvey’s estate having spent summers with him on the Cape growing up and him being such an integral part of her development. He’s the reason she’s able to take adventures by herself, why laughter is so important and paying it forward. He gifted her with Berta as a teen, her beloved car that means the world to her.
Tegan’s life is busy with her multiple projects she’s got going on at any given time including keeping Uncle Harvey’s amphitheater going and taking it in a new direction with her friend and soon-to-be business partner Harper, so romance is the last thing she’s looking for.
Fate steps in or is it Harvey? Enter arrogant, too sexy for words, highly successful, uber organized Jett Masters, workaholic extraordinaire, running from a painful past he’s never quite reconciled. Business comes first, last and always. These two take combustion to the next level. Chemistry so hot they decide after one explosive night to become friends with benefits – FWB, since neither has the time or desire to have a real relationship. But pesky feelings surface and neither can get the other out of their head or their heart.
Jett stumbles at every turn unable to even fulfill his daily business operations, changing plans and doing things he believes to be out of character for him.
Tegan realizes she’s in trouble with her heart, but unwilling to just break it off with Jett, willing to accept whatever time they have even if it means future heartache.
Of course we have input from family and friends, including Jock who causes no small amount of distress for Jett who has never had to deal with the green-eyed monster before, since he never allows himself to get close to anyone before Tegan.
Not all of their time together is spent in the bedroom and their lengthy conversations, going over business plans and helping out after the storm, adds so much to their story.
It’s a crazy ride watching these two seemingly opposites ride the waves of unbridled passion, these two simply cannot keep their hands off each other, to watching it develop into something profoundly deep and abiding.There were moments when their connection was so real you could almost physically feel it yourself. That’s the power of great writing!
Tegan’s mere presence has such a calming effect on Jett, that he seeks that connection out repeatedly. Her wise and honest counsel helps him deal with the past anger and hurt he’s been carrying for years. One of the things I loved most about Tegan is she didn’t ask for more, believing Jett when he said he couldn’t give it, until he did. His faith in her ability and belief that she’d succeed made him incredibly likeable and propels him to the top of the list of book boyfriends.
This is a book worth owning. You’ll want to keep it around to read when you want a dose of hot love, forgiveness, positivity and a reminder to live your life to the fullest, because we’re not guaranteed anything. What a great addition to the series!
Oh, I just love Jett and Teagan. Jett is a workaholic, with a chip on his shoulder the size of the US! Teagan is exactly the kind of light he needs and watching her bring out his playful, loving side is heartwarming. This book has all the things I love about Melissa Foster, a bit of angst, a bit of fun, and plenty of steam! Just what’s needed!
This is the first Melissa Foster book I’ve read.This will definitely not be the last either, I can’t believe that I have been missing out all this time.
This book is witty, steamy, and oh so much more. Foster writes a story of love, loss, forgiveness, and finding yourself. She takes you on an emotional adventure as the main characters, Jett and Tegan come to terms with their past, present, and future.Tegan is a sweet, feisty, independent, confident, sexy vixen. Jett is dominant, so sexy, a dirty talker, flirtatious, strong with a sweet side (definitely my new book boyfriend). Their chemistry is off the charts, you will definitely get a little hot around the collar while reading this book.
But more than that Foster has a way of describing her characters and their surroundings so well that you can visualize it so easily and you are right there with them. This is a well written descriptive, entertaining, funny, steamy read. Highly recommended. Advanced copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
Great book, wonderful characters and fun story line! This was a story that kept me hooked. I enjoyed the characters and thought that Tegan and Jett had great chemistry.
This book was sweet, laugh out loud funny, and of course with great chemistry between characters came some hot steamy moments.
I have not read the other books in this series but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this story.
Definitely one click worthy for sure!

Melissa Foster has done an amazing job of creating the wonderful town of Bayside in MA. The woman are strong, independent and funny. The men are strong and handsome and not threatened by strong women.
When Tegan moves to Bayside when she inherits her uncles amphitheater she certainly wasn’t looking for love. Jett is a busy businessman who is only in town for the weekend for a Bachelor party. After a one-night stand lightning literally strikes in the form of a dangerous storm. While they both decide that they will be good with a Friends with Benefits (FWB) relationship the reader can see the love building between the two.
The heat level is volcanic whether they are together or just Face-timing from across the country. While his relationship with Tegan is growing, Jett is also working through a difficult relationship with his father.
Melissa Foster does an amazing job of drawing characters from previous books into the story but if you haven’t read them you are still able to enjoy this current story.
I received an advanced copy of this book
Melissa Foster has done it again! She’s completely stolen my heart and made me fall head over heels in love with yet another couple. From steamy friends with benefits to the beautiful, passionate real love that grows between them Jett and Tegan have a story that will captivate you. There’s a reason Melissa Foster is a go to author for me and this book perfectly captures why that is.
It doesn’t matter what series, which couple, all of them have one thing in common and that is the magic of the romance unique to Melissa Foster’s writing. This intoxicating mix of steam, sweetness, and emotion surrounded by real connections that never fail to move me. If you’re looking for a romance that will leave you feeling like you’ve fallen in love for the first time Bayside Fantasies is what you need to grab.
I’ve been totally girl crushing on Tegan Fine since we originally met her and Jett Masters has always been a bit of a mystery to me so I was really excited to read this book. The way this book started at the gas station during the storm, to their encounter at the Sundial, the Bachelorette party when they finally ‘officially met’ each other, these two had chemistry from the get-go. I really enjoyed watching these two and their story progress from ‘it’s only one night’ to them getting to know each other and discussing their pasts to FWB’s and eventually more. This story was made even better by seeing so many of our friends again and meeting some new ones (Jock and his family) and I’m loving Joni and Rowan, just reading about them just made me happy. I also really enjoy when they have their online book club meetings, I’d definitely love to be part of that group. From Jett and his father working on making their relationship better, to getting to spend time with our favorite Rose, learning about Harvey and Adele’s love story (which was so beautiful and touching) and Tegan giving Dean a piece of her mind, that was awesome all on its own and of course watching how fate has once again intertwined itself with Tegan and Jett, this book was perfect. My favorite line from this book is, ‘A streak of sunshine hit them like a spotlight, and as he lowered his lips to hers, he knew Harvey Fine was smiling down on them.’
I LOVE relatable characters. Foster has yet again, created two people who just about anyone can relate with. It’s always nice to read about characters that I can “feel” for. Tegan and Jett seem like a very UNLIKEY pair. Their draw to each other pulls the reader in. I did not want to put the book down. Jett has deep scars that he was just willing to live with, until Tegan came along. Any man, who wants to better himself for the sake of a woman, is a man every woman wants. Foster kept in HOT like most of her Bayside books. Whether you’re new to this series or have read them all you’ll be completely at ease reading this book. ENJOY!
Tegan and Jett are hot, hot, hot! What a great new story by Melissa Foster. I enjoyed this story of opposites attract from beginning to end.
Just when I think the Bayside series cannot get any better, Melissa Foster gives us Bayside Fantasies! I absolutely love Jett and Tegan and they may just be my favorite couple yet. Jett and Tegan’s story is a fun yet powerful story about just how important the power of love is. I laughed, I swooned and I definitely hated to see the story end. Bayside Fantasies is full of heart and soul and all of our friends from the Bayside Community. A must read for sure.
Jett Masters is a married man, married to his job that is and no one gets in the way of that especially not his family. It’s kinda sad when you think about it but once I learned more about his back story I understood why he threw himself into work so much and yeah it was still sad, but, he did take time to see his friends and his brothers just not as much as he should.
Tegan Fine is more carefree when it comes to life, she always makes time for her friends and family whom she is very close to and she believes in Paying it Forward and that laughter can soothe your soul. Tegan has just lost her Uncle someone she was extremely close to and she has to find a way not only to move on without him in her life but to make sure that his Children’s Theater that he left her goes on in his memory.
Jett and Tegan balance one another out and I really enjoyed watching their one-night-stand turn into more, much, much more.
As with all of Melissa Fosters books that I have read, this was a fun, sexy, sweet, and HOT read. BAYSIDE FANTASIES is the sixth book in the BAYSIDE SUMMERS Series but each book can be read as a standalone so feel free to jump in at any point.
Happy Reading!!!
I hadn’t read the previous books in this series but I can never let a chance of reading a Melissa Foster book go by. It stands alone and not having read the previous books only added to the need to read them now. Tegan and Jett are worlds apart but the chemistry they share couldn’t be closer. I loved reading them grow closer while also trying to deny their feelings and the need for each other. It was fun getting to see them grow and the friends and family only add to the sense of community in the story.
