Bayside Heat

BAYSIDE HEAT by Melissa Foster is the third book in the Bayside Summers series and is Drake and Serena's story.

"𝑩𝒂𝒃𝒚, 𝑰'𝒗𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒌𝒓𝒚𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓."

Drake and Serena have been in love with each other forever but have never acted on their feelings. When Serena takes a new job in Boston, Drake is worried he is going to lose Serena forever and decides it is time to finally tell her how he feels.

Drake and Serena have some serious tension between them that has been burning for a very long time and finally ignites into a raging inferno that melts your ereader/ears. Listening to their story made me want to run out to the closest bakery. I love the entire Bayside crew and can not get enough of them.

Aiden Snow and Ava Erickson were amazing choices for Drake and Serena and made their story so much more than it was just reading it.

BAYSIDE HEAT contains... small town, best friends-to-lovers, star-crossed lovers, and dual third-person point of view.

4.25 stars--BAYSIDE is the third instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult BAYSIDE SUMMERS romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends and family in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. This is thirty-one year old, interior designer Serena Mallery, and thirty-four year old, music story owner / Bayside Resort proprietor Drake Savage’s story line. BAYSIDE HEAT, and subsequently BAYSIDE SUMMERS is another one of Melissa Foster’s spin off series from both the Love in Bloom and Seaside Summers series but can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Several characters and couples cross over for cohesion and familiarity.

Told from dual third person perspective (Drake and Serena) BAYSIDE HEAT follows another friends to lovers relationship between thirty-one year old, interior designer Serena Mallery, and thirty-four year old, music story owner / Bayside Resort proprietor Drake Savage. For the past four years Serena has worked at Bayside Resort with the man that has called to her heart but a man who has kept Serena in the friend-zone for most of their life. Having grown up without the support of a loving mother, Serena found herself surrounded and protected by Dean, Rick and Drake Savage, but none more so than Drake himself. When an opportunity presents itself in Boston, in the field of interior design, Serena struggles between head and heart. Knowing she would never be anything more to Drake than a ‘sister’ and friend, Serena makes a decision that is about to change the course of both of their lives. What ensues is the friends to lovers relationship between Drake and Serena, as they embark on a long distance relationship that soon turns into something more.

Serena Mallery is a strong-willed, force of nature not afraid to do what has to be done but our heroine struggles to voice her affections for the man that has stolen her heart. Drake Savage has loved Serena Mallery for most of his life but he refuses to be the man who holds her back from the life and career she has always wanted.

The relationship between Serena and Drake is a friends to lovers romance where our couple struggle to reveal their attraction to one another although everyone else feels the palpable sexual energy and frustration. Relegated to the friend zone for far too long, Serena makes one final attempt to catch the eye of the man she loves hoping to prove there is more their attraction than best friends for life. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and likable secondary and supporting characters from a couple of Melissa’s cross-over series. We are introduced to Serena’s co-worker and designer Gavin Wheeler, who makes Serena an offer she cannot refuse.

BAYSIDE HEAT is a clever, imaginative and spirited story line. The premise is spicey and riveting; the romance is provocative and stirring; the characters are flirty, sassy and energetic. Melissa Foster will leave you breathless but still wanting more.
