Perfection is hard to attain in any form. That’s what makes it so rare. To me, perfection in a book is one that makes me feel all emotions & is so lifelike it takes me time to emerge back to reality. Sweet Love at Bayside joins that rare list of perfect books for me. Tissues beside me, I entered the atmosphere of Cape Cod & a tight circle of people that, over the course of the book, became friends. My cheeks hurt from smiling, were wet from tears & I know I startled my dogs by laughing out loud in parts. Melissa Foster has a way with description & dialogue that truly paints a picture for you. Violet in her leather pants & t-shirt, all in black. Desiree with her rosy cheeks all aflame from the teasing about the “back room”. Rick with jealousy marking his good looks. Desiree & Rick both have to deal with their issues of hurt, abandonment & fear before they can decide their future. If you are looking for a way to spend a few hours & completely lose track of reality, this book is a must. Be prepared though. It’s a sweet (with heat) romance that you won’t be able to put down. You will read it all in one setting but the book hangover at work the next day with be worth it.
Desiree loves structure and having a plan with a schedule. Lured to the Cape by her rarely there mom she has the opportunity to get to know her half-sister, but not before meeting sexy Rick Savage. Rick has been hiding from his family behind mounds of work. Together, they discover more about themselves than they both thought possible.
Rick and Desiree kick up the heat in Sweet Love at Bayside, but still continue the balance of sweet that started with the Seaside books.
I loved getting to know some of the characters that we met initially in the last of the Seaside stories. The situation with the dog was funny, and brought a fun element to the story as a whole. Great story, and I can’t wait for more.
This is a very sweet story, a love at first sight. Rick Savage first sees Desiree when she is at the Jetty & can’t take his eyes off of her. Desiree went to Bayside, because her mother said she was sick & needed help, but was ready to leave when Desiree showed up as does Desiree’s sister Vi. While Desiree & Vi were learning how to deal with each other Rick was also trying to help too.
Rick, his brother Drake & good friend Dean own a resort in Bayside. It was so much fun to see how all these characters relate to each other, see them grow in different ways.
This book grabbed my heart from the beginning, and all the way to the most perfect ending. At the beginning, Rick and Desiree seem to be totally opposites, but as it continues, we see more sweetness come out in the aggressive and forward Rick, and see more naughtiness come out in the sweet Desiree. Addison Cole has done such a good job developing the characters, so that you feel their emotions. Also, she makes it so that you feel like you are part of the story to the extent that I wanted to take a picture of the hearts in the sand, before I remembered that it was not real. It is the most wonderful story with just the right combination of humor, love, romance, friendship, and family in one of the most beautiful places, Cape Cod. I very highly recommend that you one click this immediately.
“ The heart had a way of embracing certain people for a million mysterious reasons.”
Rick and Desiree live two very different lives but when fate, or rather Cosmos, decided it’s time for them to meet, nothing will get in the way. They met in a candid kind of way and it only made it easier to fall for each other. Thru out their growing attraction, they learn to ease each other, heal one another and mend their past.
I really like seeing Desiree opening up and letting her sexy sassy side come out and play. Her struggle with her mom and her yearning to get close to her estrange sister made me laugh out loud, smile and also shed a few tears along the way.
Loved the fact that instead of being a story about broken hearts by past lovers, this is more about how the past with your family can change your life or make you chose a path in life that you didn’t expect to take. It’s about forgiving the ones that hurt you, mend relationships and be able to finally let go of the past. It’s how to re-kindle a family bond and how to learn to love one another besides our differences.
While still sweet and romantic, this book did turn up the heat a notch!
I think this is the edgiest so far of Addison Cole’s Sweet with Heat series.
How can it be helped? Rick Savage is smoking hot – in looks and personality.
He is romantic and loyal and he has a single – mindedness quality that I have to admire.
Having suffered a tragedy at a young age, he has dedicated his life to doing and being his best.
Desiree Cleary has not had a typical sweet family growing up. Her mother is a free spirit.
While she loves her daughters, she took one, Violet, off with her to traipse around the world, leaving Desiree behind with her father. The sisters only got together for short periods over the years and seem to be nothing alike now that they are grown.
One thing they have in common is that, when called, they come to the aid of their mother.
Although when they discover the truth, they wonder if that was the right decision.
Being together gives them an opportunity to get to know each other.
It gives us an opportunity to get to know more about the extended families of the Bayside community we’ve grown to cherish from Addison Cole and Melissa Foster. Spending time at the beach is always more fun with this group. A fence climbing, pool hopping dog adds his own special charms.
For Desiree, a preschool teacher, as innocent as her students, this will be a summer of discovery and learning to embrace her own potential. Everyone grows during this book.
Sweet, yet edgy, I enjoyed getting to know more fantastic characters. A great summer read.
Wow! If you believe in romance and love at first sight this book is one not to miss reading. The warmth and love between Rick Savage and Desiree Clearly jumps off the pages. It was easy to relate to Rick and Desiree and I loved the chemistry between them. They were there for each other while they were struggling with emotional family problems. Desiree with feeling of abandonment by her mom and getting to know her sister, then with Rick the death of his father. A very heartfelt emotional love at first sight romance and I highly recommend reading this book. I received a free copy of this book and have voluntarily choose to review it.
Instant love! Desiree and Rick come together with such pure, honest love. It was attraction at first glance and quickly built into soul searching, emotionally, mind healing love.
This first in a new Sweet with Heat Bayside series, introduces you to colorful, fun and family loving new characters, and brings along old friends from Addison Cole’s Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers Series. I think that Addison has a winning series here.
Right at the start the cover had me wishing that I were sitting on a dock somewhere as I read this story.
Desiree Cleary reminds me (frown) that even though I live in Massachusetts I’ve never once visited Wellfleet. I need to go so that I can feel as if I’m going to some of the same places that this author’s characters have visited. But I have to remember to take my e-reader with me. Desiree’s friend Emery is very good for her and me – can’t help but laugh. I was left wondering about her story.
Rick Savage certainly has an interesting way of meeting a woman. He may come off as cocky but he’s just someone who knows what he wants. He’s very sweet to Desiree but they also let off plenty of heat – you can’t miss the chemistry these two characters have. And you should expect lots of innuendo while being very naughty. So be warned, don’t make any plans when you go to read this – once you start you won’t stop until you come to the very end.
Expect there to be a little scene-stealer and all without saying a word – you can’t help but laugh out loud. Our author does a great job of giving us plenty of steam that will give you a lot for your imagination to fill in. This may have been her most romantic in this series to date. It might appear to be a love at first sight story but for me it was love at first scene. And that continued right to the very end where I find out that one of my wishes came true.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
I adored this book!!
It’s romantic, funny, sexy & emotional.
A beautifully written story of finding love.
Desiree is summoned to the Cape,
by her estranged mother. Her half sister
Violet, is also summoned. They have
no idea what is going on with their
mother. But, boy does she have plans!
Rick is a co-owner, along with his brother
& their friend of the Bayside Resort.
They’ve all been working together on the
restoration of the resort. Rick’s in town
for the summer, also enjoying time with
his family, then back to his life in D.C.
Until he see’s Desiree. She’s standing at the end of the jetty, watching him, riding around on his jet ski.
When Desiree & Rick meet, sparks fly.
The emotions, & their chemistry pulled me in, & kept me hooked, till the end.
A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!!!
