In Bayside Desires…
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous beachfront resort where he works with his best friends and brother, and plenty of beautiful women to keep him company. When Desiree Cleary moves in next door to take care of her mother’s estate, Rick sets his sights on the sexy pre-school teacher. But Desiree’s sister isn’t keen on the fast-talking playboy making moves on the younger sister she’s never had a chance to get to know. And she has other ideas in store–like opening Summer House Inn, a bed and breakfast that could be big-time competition for Rick’s resort.
Review:
Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster is the 1st book in her new Bayside Summers series. I have read many of the Love in Bloom series and the spinoffs. Melissa is such a prolific author & I have not been able to keep up with her. However, I have enjoyed every book I have read. Bayside Desires is a new series with characters from previous series.
Desiree Cleary comes home to Bayside under the impression that her mother needs her help. When she arrives, her sister also arrives, and she too is under the wrong impression. Seems their mother is going travelling, and wants her daughters to run her businesses. Desiree is not happy, as it’s been a long time since she saw her mother and sister, having been growing up with her father after a divorce. Being forced to stay a few months until her mother returns, Desiree, who is reserved, will slowly reunite with her wild liberated sister.
Desiree will also meet Rick Savage, our hero, who is in Bayside to help his brother run their Bayside Resorts. Both Rick and Desiree are immediately attracted to each other, and despite their differences (he is a fun loving outgoing playboy type and she is a quiet confident reserved type), the chemistry between them will escalate into a full blown hot sexy romance.
Between Violet and Rick, Desiree will become more open to being more liberated, and the fun begins. Besides the sweet romance between Desiree and Rick, they each have issues to get past. Rick has not gotten over the death of his father years before, and Desiree wishes her mother would pay more attention to her. One of the best parts in this story was the dog, Cosmo, who was such fun. I also enjoyed the secondary characters, mostly Rick’s family and Emery, Desiree’s best friend.
This was a fun story, heavily on the sexual side, as well as having some somber moments. It was nice to see Desiree and Violet bond, even if they are very different. As we got closer to the end, we weren’t sure if our couple would have a happy ever after, especially since Desiree might stay in Bayside and Rick would go back to Washington, DC. I enjoyed Bayside Desires, and the finale was sweet.
