Description

Serena is Drake's best friend, business associate, and in his heart, she's his one and only true love. But is he too late? A hilarious, sexy, friends-to-lovers romance. Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod. Bayside Summers is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

In BAYSIDE HEAT...
Drake Savage has always done the right thing, especially where beautiful and fiercely determined Serena Mallery is concerned-even when it means keeping his feelings for her to himself. Serena has always wanted more than what their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts has to offer, and Drake's roots are so deeply entrenched in the Cape, it's all he can do to watch her pack up her life and move away.

Serena has always had big dreams. As a teenager she dreamed of becoming an interior designer and marrying smart, musically inclined, sexy-as-sin Drake Savage. Now she's finally landed a killer job with a top interior design firm, but though she has spent the last four years working side by side with Drake, he's never made a move. Four years is long enough for her to accept reality, and her new job in Boston is the perfect way to move on.

A weak moment leads to sizzling, sensual kisses, opening a door through which they've both been aching to walk. But Serena's determined not to give up her shot at the career she's always dreamed of, and Drake has loved her for too many years to stand in her way. With true love at their fingertips and a world of unstoppable passion igniting between them, can the two star-crossed lovers find their way to their happily ever after?

  • Loved this sweet, sassy love story

    🎧🎧Audio Review 🎧🎧 Bayside Heat 3rd book in the Bayside Summer Series Loved this slow burn, friends-to -lovers story. This story was light, sexy, and sassy. Serena and Drake had been friends for most of their lives. After so many years of friendship, even though both pinning for more, Serena makes the move to a new city away from family, friends and her first love. The shift in her life was pulling the rug from those that she loved, including herself. Many untold feelings and truths leave Drake in a tailspin. Finally after so long realizes what’s important to him and makes a move. But will it be enough, will it be to late? Follow along on this great read to see how Serena and Drakes love story unfolds! It was a great read. This is a standalone but intertwines with the other books in the series. It was nice to see the other characters continue on their journeys as well. The narrators Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow did a fabulous job in this book. Keep me engaged and made all the characters so real and authentic.

    Bayside Summer book #3 is Drake and Serena’s love story. When two people that have so much sexually charged energy keep things friendly, things are bound to explode into hot passion. I really enjoyed their book. I loved watching them finally give in to their intense connection and explore things as a couple. I couldn’t get enough of the friendships, they are a great tight knit group. Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow did a wonderful job portraying the characters.

    The story was bearable, but dragged on to the point where I started skipping whole chapters just to get through it. The writer is talented, but if you like stories that keep your interest and move at a decent pace this isn’t it. One thing that stood out to me most was the fact that the forplay lasted fourteen pages and the actual lovemaking lasted two paragraphs max... 😬
  • Sizzling! Hot! Beach Read!👙⛱🔥🍹

    I absolutely love Drake and Serena. I’m totally hooked. Absolutely loved catching up with the rest of Bayside Crew. Took Drake long enough to fall Serena. I absolutely love how Melissa intergrades other characters from different series. Melissa Foster books are definitely a Beach book. Curious to see if she does a story of Daphne could possibly hook her up with Gavin or Everett. Would love to see Daphne with Gavin.

    I have always been a fan of all your novels, so adding Drake and Serena to the love fest is my pleasure. Drake and Serena have always loved each other, but life got in the way. High school, college, careers but they continued to be constant in each other’s lives even as friends and family got engaged and/or married. They both had their own issues growing up Drake losing his father and Serena mother choosing men over raising her daughters properly. But their loved story is beautiful....
