(Suncoast Society series book #61)[Siren Everlasting Classic: Erotic Contemporary Consensual BDSM Romance, M/F, HEA] Tracey knows she’s lucky. She has a chance to rebuild her life–and her relationship with her daughter, Emma–in a healthy way. But when she’s forced to travel to California for a cousin’s funeral, she dreads seeing her family and enduring the insults she knows will follow. … will follow. Except…she didn’t expect to rekindle something with her old boyfriend, Eric.
Widowed and with his dreams shattered, Eric easily recalls the love he’s always held for Tracey. Whether this is a second chance or a one-time weekend to remember remains to be seen. Either way, he’ll take the opportunity, no matter how short, to be with her.
But Emma isn’t so trusting. And when another complication crops up, Tracey runs a very real risk of losing Emma a second time and that’s something Eric will not allow Tracey to do.
So how do you woo a genius super-villain in training into liking you, much less accepting you as one of her “dads?”

Tracey wasn’t someone we even liked when we first met her. But since then she has done a lot to bring about her own recovery and the recovery of her relationship with her daughter. And I’m so glad she gets to tell her own story now. Of course she does almost sink her own ship with her daughter again. Eric was the one that got away all those years ago. She didn’t want to hold him back and he never got the chance to change her mind. But when they are reunited things explode between and it seems like things will finally go right for Tracey. But some surprises crop up and there seems to be a teenager size bump in the road to happiness. I love the way the guys all group together to help smooth out the rough edges and help to bring not just the couple together but the whole big family as well.
Book #61, Suncoast Society series. Tymber Dalton once again proves her absolute mastery of the BDSM erotic novel!
SPOILER ALERT: THIS BOOK IS A FOLLOW UP TO A CASE OF YOU, HEARTACHE SPOKEN HERE, AND ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES (BOOKS #58, #54 AND #55, RESPECTIVELY). IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THESE BOOKS, THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Tracey’s finally rebuilding her life. But is she ready? She’s rid herself of Pat, her abusive ex-husband. She’s mended her relationship with her daughter, Emma. Her first husband, Brandon, and his two husbands, Jeff and Stuart, have welcomed her into their loving family. Going back to school, living on her own, furthering her career…life’s coming together. There’s just one proviso. Brandon, Jeff, Stuart, Emma, and Grace all get approval rights when it comes to Tracey’s next relationship. But that’s never happening. Tracey’s positive of that! Then tragedy strikes. Tracey’s beloved cousin dies. While she mourns Cara’s loss, the thought of returning to California for the funeral more than fills her with dread for so many reasons. Meanwhile, Eric Martin, Tracey’s high school boyfriend, is rebuilding his own life. He’s never gotten over Tracey. And he’s suffered his own losses, terrible losses for which he blames himself. When he hears about Cara’s death through his best friend, Cara’s brother, JJ, he makes plans to attend the funeral. But returning to California isn’t high on his wish list either. All that changes when Tracey and Eric meet again. It’s like they were never apart. But all too soon they’re forced to return to their separate lives. Despite promises to stay in touch, circumstances keep them apart. But fate’s not yet done. When Eric’s job takes him to Florida, his new boss is none other than Brandon. As Brandon and Eric build a friendship, neither is aware of the other’s role in Tracey’s life. When the unthinkable occurs, it pits Brandon against Eric with Tracey squarely in between. It looks like Tracey’s agreement with Brandon, Jeff, Stuart, Grace, and, most importantly, Emma, has just doomed Tracey and Eric. Is it possible to win any of them over? Even if the rest were willing, it’s Emma who’s the pivot point. And there’s no way in hell she’ll ever approve of Eric! Not after what Pat and his son put her through. Not after what Emma sees as Eric’s betrayal of Tracey. Is there any way for Tracey and Eric to win? Can it all be over in the blink of an eye? Can anyone, especially Emma, ever reach beyond the past and see Eric for who he really is? Or will Tracey have to choose between her new-found family and the love of her life?
What more can I say about Tymber Dalton that I haven’t already said? She’s superb. As always, Ms. Dalton has written a story filled with emotions of every kind, from one end of the spectrum to the other. I was already in love with each of these characters. I just fell farther and harder while reading this book. The depths and heights of hope, possibility, tragedy, genuine fear and terror, all-consuming joy, forgiveness, love, and family made me alternately laugh out loud, cry genuine tears of sorrow, and cheer for what I hoped would be a happily-ever-after for everyone (as improbable as it often seemed). I wish I could give this book more than five stars. That’s just how perfect it is. I give Blues Beach my highest recommendation. Congratulations, Tymber Dalton! You’ve outdone yourself again!
One final note. Please be an informed reader and consumer! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and BDSM/sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, think hard before buying any book you know you won’t enjoy. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers’ websites. Use these resources. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. It’s not fair to the author! She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to the book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
