IN SEASIDE SUNSETS...

Jessica Ayers has lived a sheltered life with little more than cello lessons and practices taking up her day. Now a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she escapes the prim and proper symphony to vacation in the Seaside community in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and determine if she is living life to the fullest or missing it altogether.



For the first time since developing the second largest search engine in the world, billionaire Jamie Reed is taking the summer off. He plans to work from the Cape and spend time with his elderly grandmother--and falling in love is not in his plans.



From the moment Jamie and Jessica meet, the attraction is white-hot. Once-overly-focused Jamie can think of little else than sensual, smart, and alluring Jessica, and Jessica discovers a side of herself she never knew existed. But when Jamie's business encounters trouble and his attorney and best friend intervenes, he proves that the brown-haired beauty is too distracting for Jamie. To make matters worse, it appears that Jessica might not be who she says she is, turning Jamie's life--and his heart--upside down. In a world where personal information is always one click away, Jamie must decide if he should trust his heart or watch the woman he loves walk away.

I must admit when I started reading Summer Sunsets I did have a giggle at the way Jamie and Jessica initially met. Again it isn’t an easy ride for them and this book had me happy at times and sad at times too. It really was a rollercoaster of emotions.

If ever there was a geek I would fall for it would have to be Jamie and not because he is loaded but wow he is so hot, his body, just everything about him. Tender and sensual what else could a woman ask for.

I really don’t know where Melissa Foster gets her ideas for each of her books, especially for a series of this large proportion. Every book has been brilliant and I love that all the characters are getting their HEA. She is a writing genius!

I enjoyed this story. It was what I have come to expect from Melissa Foster. Once again she has proven that she is worthy of remaining on my list of must read authors. Seaside Sunset is a beautiful story of friendship, heartache, loss, love and new beginnings. It will tug at your emotions and totally captivate you.

This book is number 23 in the Love in Bloom series and number 3 in the Seaside Summer series; however it can be read as a stand-alone. Like the previous books in the series Seaside Sunset takes place in the Cape. This series centers on a group of friends who spends their summer in the Cape and in the process finds love.

The instant I began reading, I was pulled into the story and I had difficulty putting it down. This was an easy read which flowed beautifully from beginning to end.

The story is about Jamie Reed and Jessica Ayers. I was briefly introduced to Jamie in previous books in the Seaside Summer series and I was glad to see him getting his own story. From the moment these two met it was clear that they had chemistry. Their initial meeting was somewhat awkward and a bit funny depending on how you look at it. Jessica in a fit of frustration had thrown her phone, over her balcony, hitting Jamie in his head.

Jessica, a cellist, came to the Cape to re-evaluate her life and career. In the process she found love and forged new friendships. Jaime is a multi-billionaire and the owner of One click, an internet search engine. He came to the cape for a much needed vacation and to spend time with his grandmother. The one thing he never expected to find was love.
The spark between two was sizzling and their romance was sweet and endearing. Everything seemed so perfect, however it has been said the road to true love never runs smoothly. Secrets, misunderstanding and interference from well-meaning friends puts a cinch in their blossoming romance. Will these obstacles prevent them from holding on to the best thing to ever have happened to them?
The story is witty and entertaining. There were some LOL moments and there were instances when I felt like I would knock one or two of the characters over the head. The story is well written and I would recommend it to readers looking sweet, hot and steamy romance.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to JB for letting me take part in this tour, I am a big fan of Melissa's books and I was thrilled that I could take part in this one.

Jamie has been part of the seaside gang for well ever really. He's like a brother to the girls, Jenna, Amy, Bella and Leanna. He is a bit of a tech geek and I have loved him throughout the other seaside books. He always seems to be there for people. Always putting them first. He loves his Grandmother Vera and he really dotes on her which I find very sweet. Jamie has always been 100% focus on his work but this summer he decided he needs to spend more time with Vera so he took the whole summer off.

Along comes Jessica. Jessica is a shy quiet girl. She is very reserved. She has been brought up in a world where ladies are prim and proper. She has had real friends for a long time and she certainly has not had a boyfriend. I enjoyed seeing Jessica make friends with the girls at Seaside and realising how much she had missed. I loved seeing Jessica grow into the person she always wanted to be.

This is a really great story and I loved the twist, it was so devastatingly perfect for these two. This is another great book to add to the Love in Bloom series.
