IN SEASIDE HEARTS… Jenna Ward is vivacious, spontaneous, and confident–except when she’s around the man who stole her heart years earlier, strikingly handsome, quiet, and reliable Pete Lacroux. After years of trying to get his attention and overwhelmed from dealing with her mother’s new cougar lifestyle, Jenna’s giving up on Peter–and is ready to explore other men. As the eldest of five … eldest of five siblings, with an alcoholic father to care for, boat craftsman Pete Lacroux always does the right thing and has no time for a real relationship. He’s looking forward to seeing his friend Jenna, a welcome distraction who’s so damn sexy and so painfully shy that she equally entertains and confuses him.
When Jenna picks up a hard-bodied construction worker, jealousy ignites Pete’s true feelings, and he’s powerless to ignore the desires for Jenna he never realized he had. But Pete’s not the quiet guy he appears to be, and his life is anything but conducive to a relationship. Can Jenna handle the real Pete Lacroux–the sexiest, most passionate alpha male she’s ever seen–or will she crack under pressure? And can Pete reclaim the life he once had without tearing apart his family?

Sweet and beautiful, easy to read, story flowing, wonderful characters. Friends turn to lovers. Recomended!
A great read. Love Pete and Jenna book. Enjoy reading the series and how they tie together. Love the cat and mouse drama. You fall in love with all the characters. Hot steamy and sweet.
Seaside Dreams is book #25 in the Love in Bloom series and is book #2 in the Seaside Summer series but can be read as a standalone.
Jenna Ward has lusted after Pete for years to a point that she becomes a mental zombie when he is around. This summer Jenna is determined to get over her feelings for Pete, encouraged by her best friends she hooks a hot and handsome guy who should make her pant with desire but no somehow Pete keeps showing up and the world fades.
Pete Lacroux a fierce protector of his family and caregiver for his alcoholic father has the world on his shoulders. He is loyal to a fault, always ready to lend a hand and has finally noticed Jena’s full on beauty and firecracker personality just when she appears to have lost interest in him.
Is he too late? How could he be so blind to how he felt? What does he have to offer a woman like Jenna with all of the baggage he carries?
I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the Seaside gang.

Seaside Hearts
Love in Bloom: Seaside Summers
By: Melissa Foster
Narrated by: B.J. Harrison
There are times that I just need a vacation, and right now I could use that pump of excitement you get when you go somewhere. Melissa Foster’s Seaside Summers series takes me to one of my favorite places, Cape Cod and whisks me away into a fabulous romance. This one features Jenna Ward as she once again goes to the Cape for the summer, but this time swears off her crush on Pete Lacroux. While she flirts and dates, she can’t seem to turn her feelings off. In constant view, Pete watches her until he can’t any longer and they begin a relationship. But will it be another summer fling? Foster pulls my emotional self into this story for a lot of reasons. Not only is the couple intoxicating, I love the back stories. Their families all have that bit of dysfunction we can all relate to, problems we either have seen or have experienced and it makes their love affair realistic. I fell for this couple, their passion and their incredible bond. This is the kind of story that makes my heart soar!
BJ Harrison brings it all to life with a wonderful performance. He is a fabulous storyteller, and finds the pulse of the book and lets it flow through his voices. I enjoyed this one!

I wish I could get my money back and the time I spent reading. I didn’t like Jenna at all. She is immature and self-cantered. And I skipped over the long drawn out parts about Pete’s dad. Finally, I just quit.
I love every book Melissa foster writes. I love well developed characters and stories and she never disappoints!
Seaside Hearts is book two in the Seaside Summers series. Jenna and Pete’s chemistry practically oozes off the page. Their story had me hooked from the get-go. I enjoyed listening to this narrator, and I highly recommend this book.
Terrific
Jenna has been in love with Pete for awhile but every time she goes to talk to him, she gets tongue tied. Pete has noticed her a lot but can’t figure Jenna out. This summer she decides to take a stand asked another guy out but didn’t feel the zing, but it worked.
A great summer read.
I loved this story. The two main characters were in love with each other but too afraid to be authentic and open with their feelings. Plus, the family issues were quite realistic with the scorned divorced mom trying to act like a 20 year old and the drunk father. The story sucks you and won’t let get until you get to the last page. It was an awesome read!
The language was so bad and offensive I couldn’t continue reading it after a couple of chapters. SKIP IT !
Ridiculous. DNF.
I didn’t want it to end yet.
Beautiful story
Light easy read!!
Love this author
Never disappointed
Love the author

Great read. Series of books that build on each other.
