ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 18, 2020
In BAYSIDE FANTASIES…
Tegan Fine has never had a plan—life, business, or otherwise. But she’s always had goals—to laugh daily and to pay it forward as often as she is able, just like her favorite uncle always did. After inheriting her great-uncle’s amphitheater, Tegan makes a risky move to a charming small town on Cape Cod to carry on her uncle’s legacy and hopefully expand the business with her new friend, Harper. Unfortunately, those goals aren’t doing much to help her plan a business strategy for her new endeavor. With Harper counting on her and her uncle’s legacy at stake, she swears off all distractions, determined to succeed. If only she could stop bumping into a certain arrogant, witty, and excruciatingly hot businessman who tweaks her nerves and invades her every thought. Including her late-night fantasies.
Self-professed workaholic Jett Masters never slows down. He lives life with no attachments—except to his clients, to whom he gives his all. A reluctant trip to his hometown has him itching to shake the ghosts of his past and get back to spinning deals and adding to his investments. But when he comes face-to-face with a gorgeous, handsy woman who is quite possibly the snarkiest and most disorganized person he’s ever met, sparks fly, and his sharp mind stumbles. He doesn’t even know her name, but he can’t get her out of his mind.
A chance encounter turns into a wild, sexy night, and their chemistry is off the charts—even if their ideals, and their lives, are worlds apart. Neither Jett nor Tegan is looking for more. Becoming friends with benefits seems like the perfect solution. But when they are trapped together in torrential weather, they work side by side in the aftermath, and every passionate kiss deepens their connection. Secrets are shared, trust is built, and no promises dare be made. As their lives move on, lines begin to blur, hearts get hurt, and their true selves come into focus. Tegan and Jett are left wondering if they make the perfect storm, or if they’ve reached the end of their bayside fantasy.

REVIEW:BAYSIDE FANTASIES is the sixth instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult BAYSIDE SUMMERS erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. This is billionaire investor Jett Masters, and Tegan Fine’s storyline. BAYSIDE FANTASIES 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 between series for cohesion and familiarity. Tegan was first introduced in Bayside Romance.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Jett and Tegan) BAYSIDE FANTASIES focuses on the building relationship between billionaire investor Jett Masters, and Tegan Fine. Following the death of her beloved uncle Harvey Fine, Tegan set out to Brewster Massachusetts, in an effort to take over her uncle’s amphitheater business but a night out with friends to celebrate Harper Garner’s bachelorette party (Bayside Romance) found Tegan face to face with the stranger she eyed just days before. Enter billionaire investor Jett Masters, and the man with whom Tegan would fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Tegan and Jett, and the potential fall-out as Jett’s lifestyle takes him away more than he is home.
Tegan Fine does a little bit of everything including traveling the world on her own. With the approach of summer Tegan is putting together a series of summer theater productions for adults and children using her uncle’s amphitheater as the backdrop and stage for the season’s offerings. Jett Masters is a workaholic; a man who struggles with demons from the past and a dysfunctional family dynamic that pushes Jett to stay away from the family he once loved. Meeting Tegan Fine pulls Jett back to Brewster Massachusetts where he will have to face his father, a man with whom he struggles to accept or love.
The relationship between Tegan and Jett begins as a ‘friends with benefits’ as neither one admits to expecting anything long term. Jett is rarely home for more than a couple of days, and Tegan enjoys the independent life of a young, single woman but when the heart begins to fall, the head is about to discover that love is not always a two-way street. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to Tegan’s uncle’s assistant Jack ‘Jock’ Steele who may or may not have an interest in single mother and divorcee Daphne. In all honesty, I think an excel chart or family tree is required to keep track of all of the characters, their series, and their relationships to one another.
BAYSIDE FANTASIES is a story of family and friendships; of, grief and loss; of betrayal, recovery, and acceptance. The premise is detailed and entertaining- there is quite a bit going on in Cape Cod, Massachusetts; the characters are flirty and real; the romance is spicy, tender and sassy. BAYSIDE FANTASIES is a heart warming, captivating and uplifting story.

Bayside Desires (Bayside Summers #1)
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.
Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.
Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.
