In SEASIDE WHISPERS...
Having a mad crush on her boss’s son, Matt Lacroux—an intriguing mix of proper gentleman and flirtatious bad boy—is probably not the smartest idea for single mother Mira Savage. Especially when the company, and her job, is already on shaky ground. But as a Princeton professor, Matt’s life is hours away from Mira’s home on Cape Cod, keeping him safely in the fantasy-only zone. And as a single mother to six-year-old Hagen, with a floundering company to save, fantasies are all she has time for.
With hopes of becoming dean off the table, and too many months of longing for a woman who lived too far away to pursue, Matt’s publishing contract couldn’t have come at a better time. He heads home to Cape Cod on a brief sabbatical, intent on starting his book, and finally getting his arms around sweet, seductive Mira.
A surprise encounter leads to white-hot passions and midnight confessions. The more time Matt and Mira spend together, the deeper their relationship grows, and the love and attention Matt showers on Hagen is more than she has ever dreamed of. But Matt’s sabbatical is only temporary, and Mira’s not saving his father’s company so she can leave it behind. Will their whispers of love be enough for one of them to change their life forever?

I always enjoy picking up and reading a Melissa Foster novel and Seaside Whispers really conveys a strong community feel as we follow Matt Lacroux and Mira Savage to their happy ever after.
Princeton Professor Matt Lacroux has had Mira on his mind for a long time, so with a recently secured book deal, he takes a sabbatical from the university and comes home to write his book and to see if this woman that's invaded his dreams can become something more.
Single mom Mira Savage moved back to Cape Cod to be near her family. She loves her job at the hardware store because the boss lets her work around her young son's schedule. However, the business is suffering because it can't compete with the larger stores and she's worried about having to find another job. When the sexy bad boy son of the owner comes back on a sabbatical, Mira's dreams come true only he is only around for three months. Can she protect her heart and her son's too?
It is always a dilemma when writing a review for one Melissa's novels because I don't want to sound like a broken record and keep writing the same phrases repeatedly to describe her writing because all her books are consistent in their quality. Of course, there's always some that have a setting or protagonists more appealing than others, yet all are still enjoyable and fun reads. Seaside Whispers is definitely a favourite. From personal experience, I can relate to Matt's frustrations with his academic career as well as smile at Hagen's thirst for knowledge.
I'm not a fan of novels that include small children especially if they have their own dialogue, however, Hagen more than held is own in this novel in a relatable way. He was an integral part of Matt and Mira's story and complimented the protagonists perfectly.
Overall, I loved this book because it's sexy, heart-warming with captivating characters.
