I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

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 and oh-so sweet 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 Summers Inn, a bed and breakfast that could be big-time competition for Rick's resort.

My Thoughts on Bayside Desires
This was a really good kick off to a new series by Melissa Foster.
From the main characters Rick and Desiree to the secondary ones, and the plot, pacing, and level of steam. It all combined to make a really good story I enjoyed sitting back and listening to.
There were several family dynamics and issues to deal with. Things like strained relationships and loss had to be worked through. But I really liked how it all came together along with yet another strong narration performance by BJ Harrison.

GREAT READ!
I really enjoyed this book! This book is full of romance, drama, humor and familiar characters from previous books. The narration was great and kept me entertained! The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. I can't wait to read the next book in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sweet and Steamy
Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster immediately pulled me in with the sweet, but oh so steamy storyline. I love how the author writes books with deep friendships, quirky characters, and realistic relationships. The overlap of characters from one book to another is an added bonus to me, I like catching up with old friends, and its another layer of loyalty and laughs. Rick and Desiree are the featured couple in this book. I loved their banter, the awkward situations, and incredible chemistry. BJ Harrison is amazing at bringing the characters to life. I could hear the differences in the characters speaking, and so enjoyed listening to him. I am so looking forward to more books in the Bayside summers series.

Amazing listening!
Audiobook Review…Oh how I love BJ Harrison’s voice. He brings characters to life, he tells their stories with emotion and love, and he makes the listener feel like they are living alongside the characters. There is so much heat between Rick and Desiree that I am sure I blushed a few times. Melissa Foster has just brought to life an alpha male who understands that his woman deserves to be loved over and over again.
Ebook Review…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.

Charming, Sweet and Steamy Love Story!
This captivating and emotional romance is a great start to the Bayside Summers series! I love the world that Foster has created that is filled with so much love, quirky and loyal friendships, and lots of steamy passion. Desiree and Rick's sweet and steamy romance has them helping each other heal from their heartbreaking and lonely pasts. Desiree wants to reconnect with her sister, Violet, while they spend the summer saving their mother's business. Rick is in Bayside using work to forget about his family, business, and the loss he's suffered. Their first meeting doesn't go well but as they spend more time together, Rick brings out her bold side, and Desiree makes him want to live again. I loved the growth of their relationship, how they helped each other heal, and grow stronger. They had so much fun together, and had great chemistry. This heartfelt, and charming story is filled with witty banter, quirky characters, awkward situations, and fiery chemistry. Narrator, B.J. Harrison brings these characters to life and makes you fall in love with this quaint seaside community. I loved this fun, sweet & sexy romance, and want more of these wonderful friends and family of Bayside!

Walking on the sunshine has never felt so good.
Kleenex is a must. Smiles are abundant and heart tingles are a given. Foster and Harrison team up to add a ton of heat to the summer by adding a little holiday to the heart. Rick and Desiree take love thy neighbor in a surprising direction. Home, heart and family add some dramatic twists as they make their presence known. Yet they do not take away that warm, welcoming feeling. Walking on the sunshine has never felt so good.

Great new series
Rick Savage is co-owner of the Bayside Resorts, he also has a wonderful job with his best friends in Washington DC, where he will be returning at the end of summer.
Desiree Cleary was tricked by her mother and left her very organized, structured life and ended up in Bayside for the summer running her mother's art gallery with her half sister who she barely knows.
When Rick sees Desiree he is immediately drawn to her. They fall for each other instantly, the get close fast and share their past and concerns with each other. Desiree is becoming more relaxed and Rick is learning how to have fun again. Bayside Desire is a fun, flirty, sexy read that you don't want to put down once you start. I absolutely loved the audio version of Bayside Desires. B.J. Harrison has a wonderful voice and brought Rick and Desiree's story alive.

Amazing New Series Starter
I read Bayside Desires when it was first released. I just listened to the audio book, narrated by BJ Harrison. I love listening to Melissa's audiobooks driving back and forth to work. BJ Harrison does an amazing job with his narration.
I was surprised when Melissa announced a new series. I knew I would love it but didn't know how much. I would give this book 10 starts if I could. Bayside Desires will have you laughing. This book will not disappoint, its is another must read with of course a HEA.
