Bayside Desires (Bayside Summers Book 1)

What do you get when you cross a kindergarten teacher with a resort owner slash contractor? A love so powerful that sparks jump off the pages of their book. Melissa Foster does it once again with BaySide Desires, the story of Desiree and Rick.

Rick Savage is a contractor architect and resort owner who is working on a new resort with his brother and business partner when he spots Desiree standing on the beach. Of course, he wasn’t working at the time he spotted her. He was flying past her on a jet ski.

Desiree was at the popular vacation spot because her carefree, gypsy mother summoned her to the family beach home, previously belonging to Desiree’s beloved grandmother, who passed away several years earlier. Lizza had told both her daughters that it was a matter of life and death and they both needed to come to the beach house for the summer. Desiree and Violet didn’t grow up together. Desiree grew up with her father and Violet traveled the globe with Lizza.

Rick hadn’t been back to the Cape for extended periods of time since his father passed away when he was a teenager. The Cape held memories, both good and bad. The bad had been tucked away while he was becoming married to his job. But, since he was spending several months there to open the new resort, all sorts of memories had been popping up.

When Rick and Desiree meet, sparks flew instantly, causing both to think of nothing else except each other. While Desiree had Rick’s number, he didn’t have hers. So when her mother’s dog ends up in the resort’s pool, Rick returned him to Desiree, unknowing that it was her dog.

This love story is about healing, family drama and following dreams. Melissa Foster knows how to make the characters your best friends, you family and keeps you wanting more.

Desiree Cleary is a preschool teacher who doesn't function well without carefully thought out plans, and lists. So nowhere in her planned out summer had her running her flighty and irresponsible mother's art gallery with her bad a** sister, and a dog who lives to go rogue, and yet, that's exactly where she ends up. And it doesn't help that sparks are flying with her new HOT, and pushy neighbor, Rick. Co-owner to Bayside Resorts with his brother and best friend, Rick Savage is back home for the summer to help out, and spend time with his family. It's bringing up old memories that he keeps buried, and so he's ready to get back to his successful business in Washington D.C. However, he never counted on his sexy, sweet, smart, and overly cautious new neighbor Desiree, becoming more than a fun distraction. Okay, I have decided that this is my new favorite book from Melissa Foster, and trust me, I don't say that lightly. But I could NOT get enough of this group of people. Her brilliant writing style transported me into this world, and I'm still upset to find myself back home now. Desiree and Rick, alone, are FIERY FLAMES of sexy scene goodness that will leave panties as piles of ashes, not to mention, super easy to love. But the colorful cast of secondaries had me rolling in loud belly laughter until my stomach hurt, especially the dog that goes rogue everyday! There are no vindictive exes in the background, just a bunch of people who are great together, so obviously, I CANNOT WAIT to read more of this series ASAP, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Bayside Desires is a gorgeous new contemporary romance with everything from humour, heart, and a sizzling couple who will have you burning up in this fast paced, seaside town, summer romance.

Rick and Desiree, who tell the book from dual POV, have such a sweet connection, both in and out of the bedroom (trust me, things definitely get a bit hot and heavy with these two), their connection clear from the very start with the two of them drawn together with a real splash. One thing I loved about the book is the relationship between Desiree and her sister, Violet; it was not only fun to watch develop but key in developing Desiree’s character further. Both main characters find themselves at a crossroads as to where their futures lie in order for them to be happy as this summer romance turns into something much more. You do have to be open to insta-lust to fully embrace Rick and Desiree as things start rather quickly but it does work really well with the plot. And for fans of Melissa Foster’s books, we get to catch up with a couple of familiar faces which is always an added bonus to add that familiar warmth.

Oh and one last thing, if you love a mischievous dog, you’re going to love Cosmos!

If you are looking for an addictive sweet but sassy love at first sight contemporary romance, definitely give this book a read - I loved it!

*I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

Bayside Desires is a fast-paced love at first sight romance set in the Cape Cod community of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Melissa Foster writes a passionate, sexy romance featuring Rick Savage and Desiree Cleary. Their story touches upon issues of abandonment, tragic loss and the importance of family and friends.
The attraction between Rick and Desiree sizzled off the pages. Realizing that Rick needs to return to his business in Washington, DC and with Desiree’s teaching job in Virginia beginning in September, the couple opts for a short summer romance. I loved that Rick romanced Desiree Cape Cod style; they ate at local restaurants, shared bonfires on the beach with his family and friends and spent the night on a blanket looking at the stars. He really cared for her and listened to what she needed.
One of my favorite scenes takes place when Rick takes Desiree on a moonlight cruise on his family’s sailboat. This exquisitely written chapter is a turning point in Bayside Desires. With the simple act of stepping into the deck of the sailboat, Rick has reconciled with his past feelings and opened his heart fully to Desiree and his family. Bayside Desires has all the feels; a sizzling summer romance, fun, witty dialogue, family connections and a fabulous setting on Cape Cod Bay. I laughed and cried with these characters during their journey. The novel’s conclusion was fabulous and I loved the element of magic that was smoothly woven throughout the novel—it made me smile! Can’t wait for the next book in this new series!

Just when I thought Melissa couldn’t write another series that I would love more than the last she comes out with The Bayside Summers Series. These are fun, easy going, real, and loving characters with true to life problems and relationships. There are alpha males who dote on their women, women who are flirty fun and totally committed to their males.

Rick Savage makes a splash to get Desiree’s attention before he even knows her name. From that point on their relationship takes off. There is sweet talks and dates, steamy kisses and hot sex, along with deep talks and letting each other into their lives. While Rick isn’t perfect he is perfect for Desiree. Desiree isn’t looking for a relationship but knows that when the right person walks into her life she can’t let him go.

Bayside Desires had me laughing and enjoying every page. There was some more serious parts which made the story just that more realistic. No relationship is easy without complications and Melissa Foster is amazing at keeping her characters true to themselves and their lives.

Outside of Rick and Desiree’s relationship, my favorite part was seeing the sisters come together again. Having been raised apart from each other they didn’t have a strong relationship and I enjoyed seeing them learn to get along and accept their differences.

I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

4.5 Stars

Bayside Desires is the first book in the Bayside Summers series and features Rick and Desiree. The Bayside Summers series, is a spin off of the Seaside Summers series, and features a crossover of characters. Those familiar with Seaside Whispers, will be aware of Rick's character, and his connection to younger sister Mira, her husband Matt and his nephew Hagan, who also appear within this title.

Bayside Desires is a small town, beach side romance, set in Cape Cod. Rick and Desiree are an endearing pair of characters who embark on a summer fling. Their story is one of healing and acceptance, both have insecurities and abandonment issues, that stem from their past of loss and loneliness. Both are trying to discover their place within their family and career, and decide if they will follow their head or their heart.

Overall this is an incredibly sweet romance, with a perfect blend of heart, heat and humor and at times is quite emotional. The chemistry between Rick and Desiree is intense, yet believe-able. Although this story has an insta-love feel to it, its well paced and flows really well.

I thoroughly enjoyed Rick and Desiree's story and look forward to Bayside Passions, in the Bayside Summers series, which features Dean and Emery. I recommend Bayside Desires to anyone who enjoys an insta-love story, a small town romance, or contemporary romance.

********* BOOK REVIEW ********

Bayside Desires
By Melissa Foster

Bayside Desires is the first book in Melissa Fosters new series Bayside Summers. We meet Rick Savage he is one of the co-owners of Bayside Resorts with his best friend and brother as well as working in a successful business in Washington DC. He’s spending his summer at the Cape and plans to go back to Washington at the end of the summer. He’s having a great time at Cape Cod with his brother and best friend, they spend their time out on the water.

We need Desiree Cleary, she a preschool teacher and has plans for everything. Her summer is thrown into chaos when she receives a message from her mother and quickly returns to Cape Cod. She find that she’s about to spend her summer running her mothers art gallery with her half sister who she barely knows as well as her mothers very naughty and cheeky dog.

While Rick is out on his Jet Ski with his brother and best friend he spot this stunning looking girl on the jetty… Rick is instantly drawn to her beauty. As in all of Ms Fosters other books these characters are believable. Sparks ignite between these two, but with Rich being back at Cape Cod it’s unearthed some painful memories from past. Will Desiree be able to help him with this??? This is another great one and one I’d highly recommend.

Bayside Desires (Bayside Summers, #1) by Melisa Foster Desiree has come to her grandmother’s old home in Cape Cod. She has gotten an urgent message from her estranged mother. Upon arriving she ends up meeting Rick a good looking guy on a jet ski. He is so smitten with Desiree that he ends up getting her wet. Rick is very interested in Desiree but Desiree is preoccupied with the fact that her free spirited mother has up and left her and her half-sister to run their mother’s art gallery and oversee the renovations of their grandmother’s home. Thiers is a summer of two sisters who do not really know each other. Not only do they have to work through their problems of years of resentment of one being left to live with their father while the other lived a nomadic life all due to a mother neither one understands. But they have to work together to save their grandmother’s home. While experiencing the sisters we get to experience the relationship of Rick and Desiree. She is there just to get through this summer and get to know her sister. Rick has other plans. He has never felt this way about a woman before and goes to great lengths to show Desiree how he feels about her. I enjoyed their journey. This story was cute, quite comical, serious at times with a bit of sweet and sexy. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. I give it 4 stars.

3.5 – 4 Stars

Bayside Desires is a sweet read, that prefect lazy day or beach read where you want something to make you smile and swoon – this is that book! Rick and Desiree are wonderful characters that you can relate to and fall in love with. I think this a fun start to a new series I’m definitely looking forward to.

Desiree and Rick have both ended up in The Cape for the summer, Desiree tricked and guilted into running her mom’s gallery with her half-sister and Rick is there working on a resort with his brothers. When the two meet there is an instant connection for both and it’s the start of a sweet summer (and hopefully longer) romance! Rick and Desiree both have things to work out this summer though and the question is can they do it together.

For me this was a fun and sweet read, heart-warming and full of characters you want to be your friends. I really adored Rick, his heart and his sense of humor just totally got me. Desiree is such a sweetheart, I loved seeing her grow in this story. Yes, we’ve got some insta-love here but there are things these two have to deal with, coming to terms with families, forgiveness and life choices. Overall, an enjoyable read and I’m really looking forward to more in this series!

*I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book for The Geekery Book Review

While I readily admit to being a mountain girl, the water calls me in the summer so the Bayside Summer books from the Love in Bloom series from Melissa Foster will always call to me. Many years ago, I would head out in May to the local bookstore or Sam's Club and spend about $50 on new paperbacks for summer reading. There is truly nothing I like better than sitting on the porch as the sun sets and having a glass of wine and reading. This book would fit perfectly into those I would choose.

Desiree and Rick are going to have a summer fling. I can relate. I've started one or two of those in my lifetime. But they fell in love fast and hard. Watching the two of them battle emotional scars from their pasts but still putting themselves out there for each other made me want that kind of love.

The setting of Wellfleet is a great spot. I spent at least part of one summer vacation along the Atlantic in Massachusetts. This is actually along the bay and I've been there also. It is a favorite vacation memory of mine.

I would strongly recommend picking up Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster soon and giving it a weekend to put you in the summer loving mood.

I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

A new series by Melissa Foster means another enjoyable, fun, sexy and romantic adventure. She never disappoints.
Rick and Desiree fall in love at first glance, their first encounter is so exciting. Rick is driving his jet ski while Desiree is watching him from the beach. Rick has a business with a couple of friends in Washington DC but is spending the summer at Cape Code to help his brother and his friend restructure their resort. Desiree must help her mother with her job but it's a trap to allow her and her sister Violet to build a relationship. Rick and Desiree find themselves close to home and have to understand if their story is just a summer adventure or a great love story in which they must manage the distance.
The chemistry between the two protagonists is really hot. I love Rick's family, is so numerous and they are so united. Desiree's family, however, is very problematic, has grown far away from her mother and her sister and is very different from them. Her relationship with Rick will change her and will also change her family relationships.
This story is not just a sweet love story but also about friendship and family relationships. It was a very entertaining and fun reading with many scenes to laugh loudly.
This book is perfect as summer reading.

4.5 stars

Bayside Desires was a sweet, romantic and very enjoyable read.

I'm really enjoying reading Melissa Foster's books. She has a special way with her words that brings the plot to life and the characters feel like you've known them all your life.
I loved watching Rick and Desiree relationship develop. They have this insane attraction/chemistry which they both find very hard to resist. I found them both likable, endearing characters with big honest hearts and they totally belonged together.

Bayside Desires is a well written and memorable read that will touch your heart and leave you full of happy feels. What wonderful start to the Bayside Summers series.
Looking forward the next book Bayside Desires.

I really adored this book. It was such an emotional tear jerker with some sexy naughty romance added to it. I just loved it.

Oh Desiree when you first are introduced to her she is a timid shy thing and after meet Rick she becomes this naughty lil girl with a wild flirty side. With the help of her bad girl sister Violet of course.

Then there is RIck hott damn is all I have to say. Love love love his character and how he brings Desiree out of her comfort zone.

They are both so vulnerable with different situations that they are in with their family and tragedies in their lives.

Its really just amazing im so trying not to give out spoilers because I was so excited after reading this book.

5 stars.

After receiving a urgent messages to come back because her mothers life is at stake so Desiree returns to Cape Cod. But it seems likes its another one of her mothers stunts and show she and her sister is stuck taking care of her mothers gallery. Along with that, Desiree is fighting her feeling towards Rick who is here for the summer helping out some friends and family with a resort and dealing with his own set of painful memories being back in Cape Cod.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and dual perspectives of Desiree and Rick. There were plenty of fun moments I couldn't help but find myself laughing to myself about. There was plenty of heat and steamy scenes between the characters that I loved. I also enjoyed seeing how the sisters that were estranges work together and once again act like a family again. I also thought it was interesting getting to know about their mother and what seems to be wanderlust that she has and how it impacted the girls in different ways. Overall this was a pretty great book there was plenty to love about this book and I really enjoyed it. I had a hard time putting it down because I liked it so much. Highly Recommend!

Bayside Desires is the perfect summer time – really anytime read. Melissa Foster once again has created another wonderful world in the Bayside of Wellfleet. Desiree and Rick are brought together by a jet ski and a little water and with the help of a little dog named Cosmos. Together they travel the windy path to true love with a few exciting twists and turns along the way. It was great fun to meet our new friends Violet, Drake, Dean, Emery, and Serena plus we got to visiting with some of our favorites from Seaside - Mira, Matt and Hagen.

Here are some of my favorite lines from this book.
**“You know what they say. If you’re not moving forward, you’re going in the wrong direction.”
**She’d dreamed of marrying a man who was as loving and stable as her father, and of being the type of mother she always wished she’d had.
**Life takes you where you need to be, when you need to be there
**“I’ve only been more sure of one thing in my life.” Rick wiped her tears away. “That I couldn’t let the beautiful blonde leave Indian Neck Beach without meeting her.”

So take the leap and enjoy this summer’s dream and your visit to Bayside.

Bayside Desires is the first book in the Bayside Summers series. Great start to what I can only imagine will be a great series. This was the first book that I have read of Mrs. Fosters but hopefully it will not be my last.
Rick and Desiree have both had heartrending and painful moments. Abandonment issues from her Mother and lots of disappointment has Desiree leery of forming relationships and trusting others. Rick has had his own tragedies to deal with in his past. Join in on the light-hearted and fun romantic summer at The Cape and see how it develops. Will their pasts hold them back or are they going to deal with their issues together and continue their relationship long-term and long-distance or will they just enjoy their summer fling? Also enjoy meeting the other fun characters in this story, which we will hear more about in succeeding books in this series.

I was given a copy from Beck Valley Book Tours to read and review if I chose to do so and was not compensated in any way for this review whether it was a positive or negative review.

So I've probably said this before but Melissa Foster is the QUEEN of sweet, contemporary romance. This is book one in the Bayside Summers series with all new characters although I believe there's some mention of characters from her other series (I haven't read ALL of her books so I'm not 100% sure but the characters that were mentioned seemed to have a story behind them!). I love how Ms. Foster gives us characters that are complex and feel REAL. Desiree is a fun cross between an uptight school marm and a sensual sex kitten. She's sweet but she also is a little repressed. Rick is the swoon worthy neighbor who swoops up the girl next door and helps Desiree find a balance between her two halves. Their story is candy coated sweet and when Rick and Desiree meet, it's practically insta-love! I found a lighthearted tale of two soulmates coming to grips with their pasts. There's a touch of drama, several fan-yourself romps, a handsome hero with a heart of gold and sweetheart of a heroine with a flare for naughty. Told from dual POVs with a happy ever after. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Bayside Desires

The first novel n the new 'Bayside Summers' collection by Melissa Foster. This is a standalone novel but I highly recommend that you read the 'Seaside Summers' collection too at some stage.

Rick is the co owners of Bayside resorts and he is one mightily man(well he is in my head anyway) he has a business back in Washington that he need to get back to at the end of the summer t he has loved spending time with his family while he has been here.

Desiree is a preschool teacher who gets the call from her mother who she has not really seen for a while or really wants to see as she feels abandoned by her. She also need to learn to loosen up a bit and just chill out.

Rick and Desiree have a chance meeting thank you to one very naughty dog. Rick is everything that Desiree wants he is filled with passion and romance and very hot kisses and she is butter in his hands. Rick is enjoying life for the first time in a very long time. Can this be more then a summer fling?

As always Melissa's writing is amazing it pulls you in and never lets go, it has made me excited for the next book in the series. Can not wait. 5 stars

Desiree Cleary & Rick Savage don't know each other before they meet after he soaks her on the pier. Rick feels he has to meet Desiree before she leaves the beach. The romance that ensues is so sweet! The rowdy little dog is just too adorable, too!! Desiree is brought to Bayside for the summer under the pretense that her mother's life is coming to an end. Rick is in Bayside renovating a resort he owns with his brother & best friend. Desiree is forced to take over her mother's art gallery for the summer with her sister. Behind the gallery is something that you can't even imagine! It's hilarious!!! This book is so sweet & full of romance & real life problems. I love Melissa Foster's writing!!! Another absolutely amazing story!!!

Bayside Desires is the perfect beginning to a brand new series! A spin off from the Seaside Summer series with the same fun, lite-hearted sweet feel. I adore Melissa Foster and can always count on her to write a story that will just make you feel better after you have finished it and this book is no exception. Fun from the very beginning when Rick soaks Desiree soaks with his jet ski trying to get her attention. The chemistry between the two was instant and it was fun to watch them flirt their way into what they think of as s summer fling. But when the summer is over, will thy be able to walk away? Such a fun story, I cannot wait to see where we are taken next in this series!

Melissa Foster never fails. She has it again with this new amazing story. A must read for sure you will not be disappointed if you are a Melissa Foster Fan. If you never heard of her please pick this book up and you may just fall in love with her writing like I have.

This is a new series for Melissa Foster and boy I am in love!!! Her writing is so amazing and definitely the best yet. I can't wait for more of this series to come I need more.

The story is at a good pace and the plot is so grabbing your attention that you can't put this book down. I would definitely recommend this book to Melissa Foster fans and readers who like hot steamy romance reads.

I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own

Ms. Melissa Foster gave us new tingling feelings with her new series Bayside Summers. I loved this new characters on the first book of the series. I always love the named Desiree. She is sweet pre-school teacher who is an emotional wreck because of her mother. Rick on the other hand is the same. He is handsome but emotional too.

This is my favorite quote from the book " Life takes us where we need to be when we need to be there" Life indeed is full of adventures especially when you open your heart for possibilities. As far as I do not like Desiree's mom, she is indeed full of words of wisdom.

If only I can have that kisses between Desiree and Rick, I bet I cannot keep my toes down. This book is very hot too. I loved their first intimate scenes. This book also teaches us to let go of the past and face our fear. This book is hilarious as well. Be prepare to laugh out loud, pant and loves struck.

I am looking forward for the next book in the series.

Bayside Desires is a perfect addition to the rest of the Love In Bloom series and an awesome beginning to what is going to be an amazing continuation of stories! (Yes, it can totally be read as a standalone! But you know you'll go back and want to read the earlier stories! ? you need them!!) The storyline has its hysterically funny moments that will have you laughing out loud and heart wrenching scenes that will have you not only rooting for the characters, but also falling more and more in love with them.

“I couldn’t eat cereal,” she said through tears and kisses.

True to Melissa fashion, family and friends are strongly written into Rick and Desiree's HEA story. We catch up with some previous characters as well as meet new ones-and I love that! BTW, I'm so in love with Violet!!

“For some strange reason, you love me anyway, and you’re good to me. And you accept me even with my faults, and it’s f***ing fabulous.”

Buy it, read it, love it!! --Cosmos wants you to.

Rick looks like he has it all but having everything doesn't fill the void in his life. Desiree is a preschool teacher who never wanted to run an art gallery but circumstances changed. These two meet and the passion they share is almost magi

Bayside Desires is book 1 in the Bayside Summers series. I was super excited to see Melissa Foster is starting a new series. I was even more excited to find out that it is also part of her bigger Love in Bloom series as well. I love that all of the books in this series feature cameos from other books/series. Melissa Foster is so good at giving her characters life and a purpose beyond the book they are featured in.

The problem with Melissa Foster's books is that they are too often too short! That's what I found with Bayside Desires, her first book in a new series of books connected to the Love in Bloom group. The good news is that with the advent of the rest of the books in the series, she continues developing characters and stories from her previous books!

This first book introduces the story of Rick and Desiree along with a whole cast of family and friends. Both Rick and Desiree have family issues to overcome and deal with as they return to family homes on Cape Cod. Their instant attraction to each other and their rapid fall has them both wondering how they will return to their "real" lives when their work on the island is complete. How successful will they be in overcoming their pasts and renewing the bonds with their families be . . . And how will the Cosmos be involved in their future? You will enjoy exploring the book to discover the answers!

Bayside Desires is an adorable read. The book caught my attention from the start. The way Desiree and Rick meet is the beginning of a perfect summer romance.

Both characters have a lot on their plate.

Rick owns a company with his two friends. He seems like the person who has it all, but is it enough? His instant spark with Desiree leaves him wanting more.

Desiree receives an unexpected and cryptic message from her mother. Desiree didn't always have the best relationship with her mother, yet she still rushes to her mother's aid. Her mother is right that some things are meant to be and happen for a reason. Desiree has much to learn about herself, her family, and possibilities for the future.

The story kept my interest, and I can't wait for more.

I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Bayside is a great start to the Bayside Series.

Desiree ends up in Bayside due to her mother and while she was not happy to begin with, when she meets Rick Savage it begins to change her view of the town. Desiree has the opportunity to learn a lot about herself and begins to have relationship with her sister as they are tricked into running their mother's art gallery. Rick Savage co-owns a local resort with his brothers. Both Deisree and Rick have personal demons to deal with and learn that they are able to deal with them better when they deal with them together. I loved Bayside Desires and am incredibly excited to learn more about all of the personalities in this wonderful seaside town. My only hope is that Cosmos is a part of the lives of the Bayside family for years to come.

You will not be disappointed in this series, it is another home run by Melissa Foster

An amazing start to this new spin off series! Rick Savage is in Bayside working on building a resort with his brother and their friend. Desiree is summoned to Bayside by her mother, under the guise of a family emergency. There's an instant attraction between the pair, and things only heat up from there.

While Desiree struggles with her estranged relationship with her mother and her sister, Rick has his own struggles. With the help of one another, they are able to confront their issues head on.

I liked how Desiree and Violet were able to come together and learn to appreciate each other despite their obvious differences. It was nice to see them able to connect with one another.

The characters are well-written and entertaining. I'm definitely looking forward to future installments of this series.

I love Melissa Foster! If you have been around long enough – you know that!

I am super excited about this new Bayside series and Desiree and Rick start it off with a bang.

All of Melissa’s books in the Love in Bloom series can be read as a stand alone, but she offers these mini series inside the main series. Now is a great time to get started reading!

Melissa’s characters have real life issues that they must face before they can find their happy ending and Desiree and Rick are no different – they each have their skeletons that they need to face.

There is always a piece of me that can relate to one (or both of the characters) and in Bayside Desires, it was Desiree that I could relate to.

This is definitely a must read book and I know this series is going to be great!

This book grabbed my heart from the beginning, and all the way to the most perfect ending. At the beginning, Rick and Desiree seem to be totally opposites, but as it continues, we see more sweetness come out in the aggressive and forward Rick, and see more naughtiness come out in the sweet Desiree. Melissa Foster has done such a good job developing the characters, so that you feel their emotions. Also, she makes it so that you feel like you are part of the story to the extent that I wanted to take a picture of the hearts in the sand, before I remembered that it was not real. It is the most wonderful story with just the right combination of humor, love, romance, hotness, friendship, and family in one of the most beautiful places, Cape Cod. I very highly recommend that you one click this immediately.

Bayside Desires is the perfect beginning to a brand new series! A spin off from the Seaside Summer series with the same fun, lite-hearted sweet feel. I adore Melissa Foster and can always count on her to write a story that will just make you feel better after you have finished it and this book is no exception. Fun from the very beginning when Rick soaks Desiree soaks with his jet ski trying to get her attention. The chemistry between the two was instant and it was fun to watch them flirt their way into what they think of as s summer fling. But when the summer is over, will thy be able to walk away? Such a fun story, I cannot wait to see where we are taken next in this series!

Melissa Foster never fails. She has it again with this new amazing story. A must read for sure you will not be disappointed if you are a Melissa Foster Fan. If you never heard of her please pick this book up and you may just fall in love with her writing like I have.

This is a new series for Melissa Foster and boy I am in love!!! Her writing is so amazing and definitely the best yet. I can't wait for more of this series to come I need more. The characters are wonderful you can feel there emotions and the steamy connection between Desiree and Rick. They are both wonderful characters and I fell in love with both of them.

The story is at a good pace and the plot is so grabbing your attention that you can't put this book down. I would definitely recommend this book to Melissa Foster fans and readers who like hot steamy romance reads.

Bayside Desires is a perfect addition to the rest of the Love In Bloom series and an awesome beginning to what is going to be an amazing continuation of stories! (Yes, it can totally be read as a standalone! But you know you'll go back and want to read the earlier stories! ? you need them!!) The storyline has its hysterically funny moments that will have you laughing out loud and heart wrenching scenes that will have you not only rooting for the characters, but also falling more and more in love with them.

“I couldn’t eat cereal,” she said through tears and kisses.

True to Melissa fashion, family and friends are strongly written into Rick and Desiree's HEA story. We catch up with some previous characters as well as meet new ones-and I love that! BTW, I'm so in love with Violet!!

“For some strange reason, you love me anyway, and you’re good to me. And you accept me even with my faults, and it’s f***ing fabulous.”

Buy it, read it, love it!! --Cosmos wants you to.

Rick looks like he has it all but having everything doesn't fill the void in his life. Desiree is a preschool teacher who never wanted to run an art gallery but circumstances changed. These two meet and the passion they share is almost magi

Bayside Desires is book 1 in the Bayside Summers series. I was super excited to see Melissa Foster is starting a new series. I was even more excited to find out that it is also part of her bigger Love in Bloom series as well. I love that all of the books in this series feature cameos from other books/series. Melissa Foster is so good at giving her characters life and a purpose beyond the book they are featured in.

The problem with Melissa Foster's books is that they are too often too short! That's what I found with Bayside Desires, her first book in a new series of books connected to the Love in Bloom group. The good news is that with the advent of the rest of the books in the series, she continues developing characters and stories from her previous books!

This first book introduces the story of Rick and Desiree along with a whole cast of family and friends. Both Rick and Desiree have family issues to overcome and deal with as they return to family homes on Cape Cod. Their instant attraction to each other and their rapid fall has them both wondering how they will return to their "real" lives when their work on the island is complete. How successful will they be in overcoming their pasts and renewing the bonds with their families be . . . And how will the Cosmos be involved in their future? You will enjoy exploring the book to discover the answers!

Bayside Desires is an adorable read. The book caught my attention from the start. The way Desiree and Rick meet is the beginning of a perfect summer romance.

Both characters have a lot on their plate.

Rick owns a company with his two friends. He seems like the person who has it all, but is it enough? His instant spark with Desiree leaves him wanting more.

Desiree receives an unexpected and cryptic message from her mother. Desiree didn't always have the best relationship with her mother, yet she still rushes to her mother's aid. Her mother is right that some things are meant to be and happen for a reason. Desiree has much to learn about herself, her family, and possibilities for the future.

The story kept my interest, and I can't wait for more.

I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Bayside is a great start to the Bayside Series.

Desiree ends up in Bayside due to her mother and while she was not happy to begin with, when she meets Rick Savage it begins to change her view of the town. Desiree has the opportunity to learn a lot about herself and begins to have relationship with her sister as they are tricked into running their mother's art gallery. Rick Savage co-owns a local resort with his brothers. Both Deisree and Rick have personal demons to deal with and learn that they are able to deal with them better when they deal with them together. I loved Bayside Desires and am incredibly excited to learn more about all of the personalities in this wonderful seaside town. My only hope is that Cosmos is a part of the lives of the Bayside family for years to come.

You will not be disappointed in this series, it is another home run by Melissa Foster

An amazing start to this new spin off series! Rick Savage is in Bayside working on building a resort with his brother and their friend. Desiree is summoned to Bayside by her mother, under the guise of a family emergency. There's an instant attraction between the pair, and things only heat up from there.

While Desiree struggles with her estranged relationship with her mother and her sister, Rick has his own struggles. With the help of one another, they are able to confront their issues head on.

I liked how Desiree and Violet were able to come together and learn to appreciate each other despite their obvious differences. It was nice to see them able to connect with one another.

The characters are well-written and entertaining. I'm definitely looking forward to future installments of this series.

I love Melissa Foster! If you have been around long enough – you know that!

I am super excited about this new Bayside series and Desiree and Rick start it off with a bang.

All of Melissa’s books in the Love in Bloom series can be read as a stand alone, but she offers these mini series inside the main series. Now is a great time to get started reading!

Melissa’s characters have real life issues that they must face before they can find their happy ending and Desiree and Rick are no different – they each have their skeletons that they need to face.

There is always a piece of me that can relate to one (or both of the characters) and in Bayside Desires, it was Desiree that I could relate to.

This is definitely a must read book and I know this series is going to be great!

This book grabbed my heart from the beginning, and all the way to the most perfect ending. At the beginning, Rick and Desiree seem to be totally opposites, but as it continues, we see more sweetness come out in the aggressive and forward Rick, and see more naughtiness come out in the sweet Desiree. Melissa Foster has done such a good job developing the characters, so that you feel their emotions. Also, she makes it so that you feel like you are part of the story to the extent that I wanted to take a picture of the hearts in the sand, before I remembered that it was not real. It is the most wonderful story with just the right combination of humor, love, romance, hotness, friendship, and family in one of the most beautiful places, Cape Cod. I very highly recommend that you one click this immediately.

Another 5 star rating for Melissa Foster! I'd rate it even higher if the scale went higher.

I am a diehard Seaside Summers fan, so when I learned that Melissa Foster was releasing a new series I knew I'd thoroughly enjoy it! Melissa aims to please and she definitely delivered another amazing story! Bayside Desires is loaded with raw emotion, humor, and sexy adult moments, but it also contains a spiritual element which I enjoyed too. Desiree and Rick are both avoiding some emotional baggage which poses some challenges for them, but their chemistry and attraction is undenyable. Melissa is an entertaining storyteller with twists and turns that keep the reader turning the pages and Bayside Desires is her newest Masterpiece. I couldn't put it down and, now that I've finished it, I'm having Rick and Desire withdraw! I can't wait for another Bayside Series release, in the meantime, I'll be re-reading Bayside Desires!

I have fallen in love with the Bayside series. Rick and Des's story is one of coming out of your shell. Ricky is because he put up wall to protect himself from the memories of losing his father. Desi's is much the same. She built up walls to protect herself from the pain of not feeling loved. They both work through thier issues together and become a stronger couple. The romance and the feelings this book make you feel like you are one of the characters.

This was my favorite Melissa Foster book so far! I say that with every new book, but this surpassed all my expectations. I love the insta-love between Rick and Desiree. Rick was the perfect Hero for me, he knew what he wanted and never wavered. I love that Rick was able to help Desiree become more comfortable within herself. Such a beautiful love story that I never wanted to end! #MSBB
I would recommend this to anyone who love a great romance!

What a beautifully written story about two people facing their demons head on with the support of each other. First sight attraction worked in this story line amazingly! Melissa Foster brought her characters Desiree & Rick to life through her writing and I fell in love right along with them and their hot sex! 5+ stars, don't miss out on this great story, grab it as soon as you can! Looking forward to more in the Bayside series from Melissa!!

I Love this book ??? While Desiree is trying to figure out what is wrong with her mom. She meets Rick a Gorgeous guy who makes her feelings and desires turn into flames ??? Rick can stop thinking about the girl he soaked with his jet ski when he gets the chance to see her again he has to show her that it's worth staying with her sister taking care oh her mother's busines. Thanks Melissa for another # 1 ???

I go through phases with books. I'm either reading always or I take weeks off. I received this book a few weeks ago and was kind of in a reading slump. THIS is the book that brought me back up. It's so good. The characters are so real and it left me aching for the rest of the series!

I received and voluntary reviewed an ARC of this book. This book was read and reviewed by Stacy Aube for Cutting Muse Blog Review.

I'm a true fan of Melissa's work the more I read the more hooked I become. The storyline is addictive. The characters and their emotions are so down to earth. I love Cosmo is amazing I love his special talent. Anxiously waiting for your next book.

A definite MUST ADD for your summer reading list! This is the beginning of another amazing series from the one, the only.....THE Melissa Foster! This book has so many feels, so much steam and some amazing character development. One of the things that always gets me hooked with Melissa's writing is that she finds a way to make the characters so personable and you tend to see a little piece of yourself in at least one of the characters. I've noticed this over and over with many of the Melissa Foster books I've read (and lets face it......I've read ALOT of them)! I can't wait to devour the whole series!!!

What starts out as a HOT summer fling, turns into a life long love.

This book will make you laugh, smile and just feel good inside. Desiree and Rick are a couple made in heaven.

Melissa never disappoints! Thank you for another great series, can wait to read more.

As always I wasn't disappointed by Melissa Foster's new book and series. The store was amazing and I loved Rick and Desiree story. Both aren't quite where they expected to be in life but obviously it was meant to be!

I can't wait for another book in this series

Yet another great read and a good start to another branch of the Love in Bloom tree! It can be read alone or it's good to know how they are intermingled. Desiree and Rick's story is a sweet and steamy read and I can't wait for the other's stories!

Melissa Foster does it again! I couldn't put this book down! Rick and Desiree's story is so much fun to read! It's a story about family relationships and love which Melissa wrote so beautifully! I can't wait to read Dean and Emery's story!

Back to Wellfleet with Melissa Foster at the helm, is there anything better? She introduces us to a new cast of characters that will make you laugh and warm your heart at the same time. I want to be part of the wayside breakfast gang!
