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 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?



This contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to readers who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women's fiction. While each book may be read as a standalone, you might enjoy reading the entire Love in Bloom series.

If you have read the series so far you will remember Jenna from Leanna and Kurt’s story but Seaside Hearts is all about her. Jenna has liked Pete for years but Pete hasn’t given any indication that he likes her in that way. he problem is Pete does like her but he has other things he needs to focus on, like caring for his alcoholic dad, and keeping it quiet, it is quite a job in itself.

Summer is here and Jenna is fed up with waiting for Pete and decides after lots of encouragement from her friends to hook up with someone else. She does that but Pete is always there in her mind. And this summer Pete finally shows an interest, will it be too late though as a lot of Summers have gone past with nothing.

This is the typical will they, won’t they scenario but when they do it is hot, hot, hot.

I have been a faithful follower of Melissa Foster’s Love in Bloom series, although the stories are predictable they still capture me completely. Yes I know they will get their HEA but the bits in between are so varied you would never guess what will happen. I really don’t know where Ms Foster gets her ideas from and so quickly too as she is bringing a new addition to the series in no time.

Another fantastic addition to the Love in Bloom series.
