Publisher Description
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.
Hold on to your hat for Violet's wildly hot love story! Lizza is up to her old tricks again, and Violet is in for the surprise of a lifetime!
Two years ago Violet Vancroft was a nomadic artist who never wanted to put down roots, and Andre Shaw was a prominent Boston physician whose roots ran too deep to unearth. Their love didn't stand a chance - or at least that's what Violet believed when she received a plea for help from the sister she'd never really known - so she snuck away like a thief in the night.
Now Andre travels the world setting up new medical clinics, and Violet has finally found the family she'd always craved and the roots she'd never known she wanted. When their paths cross unexpectedly, it's not the reunion either one imagined. But they've never stopped loving each other, and after the dust of anger and hurt settles, passion ignites even hotter than before. As the end to Andre's time at the Cape nears, reality sets in, leaving them no closer to a future than they were before. Violet and Andre are forced to dig deep to discover if they're destined to live apart forever or if true love really can conquer all.
Bayside Summers is part of the Love in Bloom romance collection by New York Times and USA Today best-selling and award-winning author Melissa Foster.

Secrets Revealed!
This book revealed so many secrets. If you have read other Bayside books you have been introduced to Violet. This book can still be read as a stand alone. She was a snarky vixen who rode a motorcycle. In Bayside Escape, we learn what Violet has been hiding inside that hard exterior. It was quite unexpected. It all starts at her sister Desiree’s wedding when their mother Lizza shows up with a guest from Vi’s past. Melissa Foster has expertly written a complex character in Violet. I loved this story and the whole Bayside gang. The narration by Debra Woodward and Aiden Snow was superb. They truly made these characters interactions feel so real with the balance and interchange of the narrators. Melissa Foster has once again kept her readers entertained with a 5 star book.
My Thoughts on Bayside Escape
Finally, Violet's story is here and it's so much better than I could have imagined. She was always this tough woman with a hard exterior. And I thought I understood why but this story showed me I didn't even know the half of it. She had so much more emotional depth to her than I thought and it was truly great to see.
I loved that this storyline didn't end where I expected. In fact, what I thought would have been the end, and may have been in other books or with other authors, was barely half the story. I think that was in part because it was about more than just two people finding love. That definitely happened, but two sisters also came to know each other more, even when it was hard. And friends were recognized as family that can give you roots. It was about understanding and excepting love and family in many different forms.
What also helped me love this story so much was the amazing narration. Devra Woodward and Aiden Snow did a fantastic job. Devra was new for me, but I certainly want more from her. Aiden is one I knew I enjoyed from previous audiobooks but this was another perfect example of his talent.
Heartfelt and spicy!
Desiree and Violet have felt like they raised themselves since they were young, because they basically did. Their mother was flighty and never around when they needed her. Years later, Violet, the bad girl sister who wears motorcycle gear and acts like nothing bothers her is put through a test when her lost love Andre shows up from out of the blue with non-other than her MOTHER!
This story was about reconnecting and sharing our vulnerabilities with those you love. It took Violet another possible heartbreak to understand where she went wrong with Andre, but they were able to get it all back AND MORE! it's hot, hot, hot!
The audio was great, I really enjoyed both voice and they brought the story to life for me.
