Whispers at Seaside

Whispers at Seaside is a sweet addition to the already swoon-worthy Seaside Summers series.

Matt Lacroux is home for the summer, with a promotion off the table and a publishing contract in the works, Seaside is the ideal place for him to relax and unwind. He is a true gentleman, sweet and smart and the chemistry formed between him and Mira Savage is adorable.

Mira is a single mother who is employed by Matt's father, she is caring, cautious and incredibly smart with ambitions and aspirations she is just waiting to achieve. With the hardware store struggling, she is determined not to get too caught up in the crush that is 'Matt'.

The more time Matt and Mira spend together, the stronger their bond grows and the more he becomes a fixture in her and Hagen's life. The way Matt is with Mira's son is endearing, always taking the time to include him, appreciate him whilst also educating him.

This is by far one of my favourite books in Cole's series and I would recommend to anyone who would like a sweet treat to listen to over the summer.

The narration is on point, and I loved listening to the story come alive.

This is another sweet story by Addison.

When you work in a small, independent hardware shop in a small town, falling in love with your boss’s sonis perhaps not the best idea, yet this is exactly what Mira does. Unfortunately Matt lives too far away and works too much for her to anything, but admire from afar. Relationships aren’t easy or straight forward for Mira as she has her six year old son, Hagen to consider.

Matt is a Professor at Princetown, who doesn’t get home as much as he would like. This changes when he is given the opportunity to write a book. This sabbatical enables him to return home to the cape and reconnect with his family, and the beautiful Mira. An unexpected encounter leads to a deeping relationship, but can it get past their geographical distance to enjoy each other to see where their feelings could take them.

Addison writes about the blossoming relationship with the added complication of a young child very well, and beautifully. There is a lot of emotion on the pages, and once started, it’s a real struggle to leave.

I have also now enjoyed the audio book, and loved every minute of it. There are two narrators, which I prefer, rather than the one voice doing all the parts, and the voices work well together.

I have been enjoying audio books for a year now, and I love them. I can enjoy retreating into my favourite places while driving or through headphones while working. If you haven’t tried them, I recommend them :)

I have loved all of the Lacroux family and Matt is no exception. He is a gentleman with a hot sexy side to him. His and Mira's love is a slow burn a true friends to lovers romance. They take it slow as they are conscious of Mira's young son (who Matt is lost for as he reminds him so much of himself as a youngster) and the uncertainty of Matt's location. How can Mira resist Matt when he is so good to both her but most of all the other man in her life her young son. It was great to read about the antics of the Seaside girls. Once again Addison Cole has weaved a story you want to dive into and wish you could live with all these beautiful characters.
