This is the 3rd book in Melissa Foster’s Bayside Series. I loved this story between Drake and Serena. Serena has had the biggest crush on Drake since High School she met Drake through his sister. She always had big dreams to become an interior designer but she also loved working with Drake everyday. Serena wanted so much more with Drake than just friends. Drake wanted Serena too but didn’t want to hold Serena back. Serena gets a big job offer in Boston and now what is Drake going to do? Trust me you will love this steamy love story between “friends”. Melissa takes you away with her writing. Forget your troubles and get lost in this book.

KELLY'S REVIEW
Let me start by saying I love Melissa Foster’s Books! And again she did not disappoint with Bayside Heat. Drake and Serena’s story was a sweet and fun read. I enjoy the friends to lover’s books because they know each other so well and have such happy stories. I love how Blake and Serena had known each other since childhood and have the same group of friends. So when they get together its just perfect. This was a very quick read, I read it over the weekend while also doing other things. I would definitely recommend this if your looking for romance, fun and a little humor.

Well that was equal parts hot and sweet. I always love a friends-to-lovers trope and Drake and Serena have been circling each other for years. When she finally gets her dream job in Boston, the chemistry is just too much to take. But can their new relationship survive miles apart and a new high pressure job?
A fun read with a great cast of characters and friends that I can't wait to read more about. It did get a little long at the end for me - only because it started to seem a little repetitive. That said, I really enjoyed Bayside Heat and can't wait to read more from Melissa Foster!

I've been eagerly anticipating Serena and Drake's story since they were introduced in the first book of this series. Well, they were well worth the wait. Once they finally got together they had plenty of heat, lots of heart, and the transition from friends to lovers was very easy. Both had some insecurities that they had to overcome, but that helped them grow as a couple. We got to meet a cool new character (Gavin) and I'm hoping he will be the hero in an upcoming book. This story kept me enthralled from the beginning and I really enjoyed reading this story.

Serena and Drake have known each other since before adulthood. Drake always wanted for Serena to pursue her dreams. Serena has grown weary of waiting for Drake to finally make his move when her “dream job” is offered and she’s moving to Boston. To top things off now Drake has made his feelings known. I was hanging on page by page to see if these two could survive the distance and work obligations. That push/pull between everything you’ve worked for in your career and the person who makes it all worthwhile. Melissa Foster did not disappoint.

Melissa Foster can always (in my experience at least) be counted on to deliver a heartwarming, spicy romance that will grab you right in the feels. Let me assure you that this is no exception.
I loved the chemistry between Drake and Serena. Their restraint; their inevitable connection; their mutual support. There are elements of frustration with their relationship,but only because as a reader, I was rooting for them to succeed.
More please.

If you're looking for a quick, enjoyable summer read that will leave a huge smile on your face, look no further than Bayside Heat.
Melissa Foster writes fun romances centered on great characters that you want to root for every step of the way. Serena and Drake are no exception.
It's a friends to lovers story, which is a classic trope for a reason. They know how they feel about each other. Everyone around them knows how they feel about each other. But when they wait to admit it until Serena takes a job somewhere else.
However, that's only the beginning of the story. Drake and Serena are determined to give this relationship the shot it deserves. Naturally, it's not easy. But Foster's writing will make you turn the pages faster and faster to find out what these two will do next.
The book features a large cast of characters, which can be overwhelming for some readers. But if you're like me, you'll want more of them as the series continues. The humor and banter balance out the longing as we watch the romance unfold.

The book focuses on a tight knit group of friends and family in Wellfleet, Massachusetts - specifically Serena Mallery and Drake Savage. Serena has worked with Drake for the past four years, but they've never acted on their attraction to one another. When Serena is offered her dream job in Boston, things start to get interested. They continue to fight the attraction until one night they just can't anymore.
Serena grew up without the support of a loving mother and refused to give up her dream in order to keep a man. This story follows her journey of finding out that her dreams may not lead to where she thought they needed to be. She struggles with where her head tells her she needs to be - Boston, and where her heart is telling her - back home with Drake and her friends.
Serena and Drake work through the trials of a long distance relationship. An opportunity will present itself that will force Serena to choose where her happiness liies and whether she is is brave enough to make the right choice.
The large ensemble of secondary characters add excitement and fun to this love story.

Bayside Heat by Melissa Foster is the third book in the Bayside Summers series. What I love about Foster's work is I am constantly smiling while reading her work. Throughout this book I found myself just smiling for no reason. Drake and Serena bring us a friends to lover romance. They have been friends since childhood. They both have felt the same way toward the other for years and have kept these feelings hidden until one of them decides it is time to leave the Cape and start a new life elsewhere. I absolutely loved this one.

Bayside Heat is a sweet and sexy friends to lovers romance. I was completely smitten with Drake Savage. He was a mans MAN. Hot as sin. Broody af. And, I just adored how much he loved Serena. The childhood flashbacks gave me all the feels .and was a perfect addition to their story. It added to the chemistry between Drake and Serena. Their bond & love for another. Strong. Selfless. Unconditional. I also, enjoyed the dynamic they shared with the supporting characters. I can't wait to read more by Melissa Foster!

Bayside Heat (Love in Bloom: Bayside Summers). Wow Drake and Serena long time friends to lovers is so jam packed with an emotional roller coaster !!! I was getting angry at Drake while reading. Is he ever gonna take the chance with Serena. That girl has loved him for next to forever. Then Serena gets the job of her dreams 2 hours away. Can they work through the past? Can they walk into romance and take a chance on the friendship? Can they do that long distance???

The heat is on. Foster steps into the season with a whole lot of sunshine and a hint of heartache. Bayside Heat is a tempting walk down memory lane with two friends afraid to risk their hearts. Serena wanted forever, but Drake never made a move. Relocated to the friend zone, she's given up hope of ever having more. When a once in a lifetime opportunity comes her way, will Drake face his fears and listen to his heart? Funny, sunny and sweeter than honey.

Drake and Serena have been best friends forever. They have also hidden their feelings and desires for one another for just as long. Now that Serena has found her dream job and is preparing to move, Drake must decide if he is going to let her go without knowing how he feels.
I love the honesty of their relationship. I also love the fun and love they share. And when they begin to navigate the change from friends to lovers? Oh my! The intensity of their relationship heats up every page. There were seriously moments I thought I would combust!
Excerpt:
“I’ve waited so long to kiss you,” he said in a low growl. He tugged her hair, angling her face beneath his, and slowly traced her lower lip with his tongue. “To taste you.”
Um....yes please!
I knew when I met them in Bayside Desires they were destined to be together. I just needed them to catch up! This was a perfect story for them!

OMGOSH, all the emotions! I needed a tissue from the get go, and privacy by the middle of the book. I think that this is the best Addison book yet. If you are fine with the friend zone, don’t read this book, if you crave happily ever after , this is definitely the book to read! Serena and Drake have easily become my favorite couple. I’m excited to see what happens in the next Bayside book. Addison has raised the bar pretty high with this one.

I loved the premise of this book. Drake and Serena captured my heart from the beginning. Though their coming together was explosive and quite a long time coming even where the reader comes in. The fix for their situation was apparent fairly early and for as smart as Serena is it took her a long time to come to what, I believe, as the reader was right in front of her. Overall, this was an excellent summer read to get lost in.

If you like best friends to lovers with heat this book is for you! It is always fun to meet these characters and watch them evolve just like Melissa did with Drake and Serena. I couldn't wait to find out how this friendship was going to turn into something more. Everyone who had ever seen Drake and Serena could tell they needed to be together - they just needed to realize it themselves. Once they figure it out and realize they should be together - fate steps in to make life interesting with some struggles. Watching them make the necessary steps to find what in life will make them the happiest - tasty donuts anyone? The job of a life time? City living? Best friends? Or the best friend you love?
It was great to meet up with some old characters from previous books and meeting a few new ones- always a plus when reading one of Melissa's books. Definitely one of my favorites!

Bayside Heat is a great friends to lovers story with 2 people who have a long history of being best friends and have always secretly loved each other but they fight the attraction for along time, then temptation gets the best of them. As always Melissa has a way of pulling you into her stories and making it impossible to put down.

Decisions, decisions. That's sometimes all life's about. You think you want something and when you finally achieve it, it's not as appealing as you thought it would be. That might be a circumstance anybody can relate to... Melissa has it all figured out as it is just another wonderful story. The characters are brought to you clearly Like you can feel all their emotions. I loved reading Drake and Serenas story.

Drake and Serena’s story was an amazing read. I have read other books in this series and so far this is my favorite.
Serena and Drake grew up together to become best friends unaware each other had feelings for the other.
Once Serena decides to take a job in Boston their relationship takes a turn from friendship to lovers. Drake decides he will not be selfish and encourages Serena to move away and continue a long distance relationship. She has an opportunity to see if life in Boston is what she wants or if she will be happier back on the Cape. This book takes us on their adventure of how both continue to support each other in their dreams and find a way to make it work together as a couple.

I really liked this book. It was fun and exciting and a great read. Drake and Serena are a great couple who I have been waiting to come together. So far this is my favorite out of the Bayside series. There is plenty of heat throughout the book to keep you wanting more. I can't wait to see what is next.

Melissa Foster has outdone herself this time. I absolutely loved Drake & Serena. They’ve always been there for each other and always loved each other but it just took them some time to find their way to be with each other. Drake is the kind of guy every girl wants.

Friends-to-lovers romances are always my favorite and this one was perfect! This was definitely one of my favorite Melissa Foster books. Ever since reading the first book in the Bayside Summers series I have been waiting to read about Drake and Serena. Bayside Heat did not disappoint. Serena is such a strong character and I connected with her instantly. I enjoyed the book from start to finish. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Highly recommend!

When Serena accepts a job opportunity in Boston, she thinks this is exactly what she wants, except she needs to leave her friends behind on the Cape. Just before she is slated to relocate, Drake, who she has had a crush on since they were kids, finally admits he has feelings for her. Will Serena give up the perfect job? Will they be able to handle a long distance romance? Or is what she thought of as the perfect job, not so perfect anymore? With adorable characters and a storyline that i could not put down this was the perfect romance. The interaction between all of the characters read so real that you would think these characters are real life people. Nothing fake, nothing rushed. Once again Melissa Foster writes a true masterpiece that I highly recommend.

FINALLY! Drake and Serena’s book. This is one I have been waiting for. This is a fantastic friends to lovers book. Serena is a character we know from a few of the other Bayside books. She is best friends with Mira Savage and he known the Savage family since childhood. Drake Savage we met in a previous book as well, his brother Rick’s. There was always chemistry and sexual tension in those other books between Serena and Drake and now finally we get to hear their story. Serena has been in love with him forever. After helping Drake with his resort and getting his music stored up and running, she gets a job offer in Boston. After 4 years waiting for Drake to make a move or for any sign of interest for that matter, she decides to take the interior design job in Boston.
When Drake hears that Serena is leaving, he gets angry. Angry with himself and the situation. He has always had feelings for her, but the timing was always off. But now with her moving away, so do his chances with the only girl he’s ever loved. This book had everything for me. A sexy, amazing man, a strong independent woman and all of their friends and family. We even get to see a few of the older characters from previous books. These keep getting better and better and adding in new characters. I CAN NOT wait to hear who tames the crazy Violet next! A must read

Hidden, friendship to lover stories have a way of working their way into a special place in my heart. Drake has been in love with Serena for years but he has such a respect for her that he's never let on that he has such deep feelings. There's nothing like a deadline to losing the one you love to push you off the edge of the cliff you've been dangling over. The only downfall - Drake is content with his life and where he's at in all aspects. Serena sees the potential for more in her life. It has the potential to make them phenomenal or could completely tear them apart. Both commit to making this work (after all, they have wasted YEARS on avoiding this!) by way of a long-distance relationship. Good intentions and hard work prove to be only a small piece of the path to a successful relationship. I loved being able to see the story from both points of view. It made me feel more connected to both characters. I felt every desire and twinge of pain as these two took on what seems to be a journey that may not fair well in the end.
I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

This is the third book of the Bayside Summers series and it is the best one so far.
Drake and Serena's romance has been hinted in the other two books and you could feel the heat between then.
Now it is their time and their story... Drake and Serena are a force to be reckoned with, they are good together, they know it, but it took then several years to find the right time.
But... Now it is not exactly the right time to Serena who is trying to change her career path and looking for other challenges in her life. This makes Drake get out of his comfort zone and finally make a move.
This is a story about two strong people, they love each other, but at the same time they still dance around decisions they have made for their lives. I loved Drake and Serena, they are adults dealing with life and it is difficult and some times it is hard, difficult and good at the same time.
I think Melissa Foster once again has give us a beautiful stories of two souls that are just trying to be happy and it is what life is in the end.
Wonderful book!

Bayside Heat by Melissa Foster was an amazing story with some incredible characters. This was a well written story that just captures your heart, once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till the last word. The characters are strong, loving and all around engaging.
Melissa has a way with words that just brings the story to life, you feel like you personally know these characters. I absolutely loved Serena and Drake. Serena Mallery has almost always dreamed of being an interior designer so when the opportunity comes she is ready to take that opportunity, but she also knows she has to finally come to terms about her friendship with Drake. Drake Savage has always loved Serena but there was always a reason he kept his feelings to his self and now when a new job has Serena excited he will not stand in her way by telling her he really feels. This was an amazing read and I highly recommend it, you will see this is a must read can’t put down kind of book. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Wow! This is a wonderful love story between Drake and Serena. They have been in love since Serena was a teenager. Drake didn't return his feelings right away he didn't ant to stand in her way. They were friends first and then lovers and when the chemistry met it was fantastic.They worked at the resort and help Drake open the music stores. The wonderful surprise she had for Drake when he opened the store and the surprise guest player. Melissa puts so much into her books and knowing everyone. It's hot and steamy. When Serena moved to Boston it was hard for her to leave everyone but we got to meet Gavin and also Abby at the donut shop.i enjoy following the Bayside series and knowing everyone. Totally awesome Melissa always anxious for the next book.

This was a beautiful story, filled with love, friendship and life decisions. Serena and Drake have been friend for many years. Both have longed for more with the other, but both were unaware of the others feelings as they were afraid they would lose their friendship. Serena decides Drake will never want more, so she accepts a job in Boston. This decision is the push they both needed to finally admit their true feelings. Their relationship starts out long distance, but the heat between them is not lacking as their weekends together are making up for lost time. These two make an amazing couple. They work together and are there for each other in all things. By far my favorite book now of Melissa’s!

Serena has had feelings for Drake for years, and Drake feels the same way. But Serena has been like a little sister to him for their whole life. So when her chance comes to move to the big city and experience her dreams of being an interior designer, Drake has to let her go to experience her own life. Can he live without her? Can they find the love that they've been hiding for years?
This is a fun, heartfelt story and a great continuation of the Bayside books! I loved finally reading Serena's and Drake's story, and I love watching the rest of the Bayside group grow and evolve.

Bayside Heat (Bayside Summers, #3) by Melissa Foster .....WOW I don't know how I miss the first two BAYSIDE SUMMERS ...but I will go back and read them. I totally fell in love with all friends and family in this book... Drake and Serena have loved each other forever... He didn't want to hold her back..she thought he didn't see her as anything other than a friend. Melissa always makes me feel as if I am part of the story...through the laughs, tears, hard choices and steamy sex to get to a very HEA... I can't wait for BAYSIDE ESCAPE to see who is next to fall in love...

Serena and Drake might have known each other for years and years but their love hasn't grown at the same rate that they have. Instead their love has slowly simmered as each member of the relationship tries to determine if they can/should sacrafice their current lifestyles and goals to be together.
As with all happily ever afters there was just one moment which led these two to realize that they needed to prioritize their love for each other and compromise on their future together. You'll have to read to determine how this happily ever after plays out ... does Serena accomplish her goal of having a Design Firm? Is Drake able to maintain his successful business?
This is a story that will consume your entire evening and you better just plan on not sleeping the night you pick up this book!

Serena and Drake might be the MOST infuriating couple in the Bayside Summers series. Even before you read Drake's side, you just know they're meant for each other. Then knowing that Serena was on the brink of leaving for her perfect job...it broke my heart. I've never wanted to see two people end up together more. Between panty-melting sexiness and heartbreaking longing, you won't be able to put this latest installment down.

Wooooo Hoooooo....this book was like foreplay thru out the entire book. The way they worked together side by side, played together side by side, all without becoming lovers yet longing filling their hearts and eyes. All until Serena decided to go big and become a city girl for her career....and then the sparks flew, the wind blew and out came Drake and Serena taking the biggest leap of all. Loved this book!

A beautifully written, heart warming, sweet book. This story was a light read, with plenty of fun, friendship, laughter and love. I don’t often read friends to lover books, and after reading this I had to ask myself why. The main characters Drake and Serena had an amazing bond as friends; they could read each other really well and their chemistry was perfect. I loved Drake’s selflessness but was so happy that he finally realised he deserved to be happy and that he could give Serena what she wanted without her compromising her life goals.
The full cast of characters in this book was perfect, with lifelong friendships and newer relationships blending together to create a world that I wouldn’t think twice about living in.
Will certainly be reading more in this series.

Melissa Foster has done it again!!! She has pulled on my heart strings. Serena and Drake...they are meant to be. But Serena had goals and dreams. She was determined to fulfill them. But, her heart had other plans. She was pulled in different directions and had to make a decision. Drake, he knew what he wanted and he was willing to take the back seat...No spoilers from this girl. Get the tissues, a glass of wine, sit back and get ready for the roller coaster ride. Melissa, you never disappoint!!!
Please RateBayside Heat (Bayside Summers Book 3)
This book really hit home because of the way Drake acted. There are so many times in relationships (both romantic and nonromantic) where one person acts or does not act based on what they think is best for the other person. Reality is that people are constantly growing and changing - and dreams shift as plans are altered. Drake finally realizes this as Serena is leaving Bayside and acts on his feelings.
I cannot wait for the next Bayside book!
