About this listen

Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod.

Bayside Summers is a series of stand-alone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

Bayside Heat

Drake Savage has always done the right thing, especially where beautiful and fiercely determined Serena Mallery is concerned - even when it means keeping his feelings for her to himself. Serena has always wanted more than what their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, has to offer, and Drake's roots are so deeply entrenched in the Cape that all he can do to watch her pack up her life and move away.

Serena has always had big dreams. As a teenager, she dreamed of becoming an interior designer and marrying smart, musically inclined, sexy-as-sin Drake Savage. Now she's finally landed a killer job with a top interior design firm, but though she has spent the last four years working side by side with Drake, he's never made a move. Four years is long enough for her to accept reality, and her new job in Boston is the perfect way to move on.

A weak moment leads to sizzling, sensual kisses, opening a door through which they've both been aching to walk. But Serena's determined not to give up her shot at the career she's always dreamed of, and Drake has loved her for too many years to stand in her way. With true love at their fingertips and a world of unstoppable passion igniting between them, can the two star-crossed lovers find their way to their happily-ever-after?

Bayside Heat is book three in the Bayside Summers series and is the small-town romance of Drake Savage and Serena Mallery.

Drake is one of the co-owners of Bayside Resort in the small Cape Cod town of Wellfleet, MA. He is strong, successful, gorgeous and has been harbouring secret feelings for his close friend Serena for years now. Drake has never wanted to pursue anything with Serena as he would never want to jeopardise their friendship should their relationship not work out. However, Drake’s hand is forced when Serena informs him, she’s leaving for Boston as she has a job offer, she can’t turn down.

Serena is a long-time friend of the Resort co-owners and has been helping out there for the past four years while Drake and co got it off the ground. She feels now is the time for her to put her design degree to use and put herself out there for jobs in the field she’s always wanted to work in and with Wellfleet being such a small town she’ll have to travel out of the area for that job. Will Serena and Drake give in to their feelings for each other?

The fabulous Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow breathe life into this audiobook and what an amazing duo they are. Aiden’s deep, husky voice was perfect to portray the lovestruck alpha male. Ava’s sweet lilting tone couldn’t be more suited to the big dreaming, empowered Serena.

Bayside Heat was the perfect friends to lovers, small-town, slow burn romance. It will have you daydreaming about the beautiful setting and wanting to holiday in Cape Cod, have you swooning over the super sexy, successful Drake and your heart overflowing with love when he and Serena eventually give in to their desires. I loved everything about this addition to Bayside Summers series.

Loved listening to this book, we have read about Drake and Serena from the Seaside series and now they have their own story. They have been best friends for years, and Serena has worked side by side for 4 years. Then Serena gets a job offer in Boston. Drake realises it time to make a move. Will it effect their friendship if it doesn't work out, will Serena move to Boston. Nice to catch up with Matt, Mira and Hagen from Seaside Whispers. There is so much to love about this book which makes it a great read. And it included one of my favourite songs of all time Don't Stop Believing. Each time you think you have just listened to another great book along comes another one, this is definitely in my top ten of Melissa's books

This book is exactly why I love Melissa Foster! Back to the cape with Drake and Serena. Best of friends, they have worked together for years. Watching Serena grow up, Drake was always taken with her, but being several years older, kept his distance. Serena's crush has been ongoing for years, but not acting on it as an adult, she is ready to move on. But Drake is not ready to let her go, despite his need to let her fulfill her dreams. Will these two finally get it together? Foster weaves her magic with amazing characters, with incredible visual imagery. I love going to Boston to experience Serena's move, getting to know the city. Back home, we enjoy the beach and the small town feel she gives with the best friends we could have. It's a fantastic listen, a little spicy, friends to lovers story that will leave you smiling.

Aiden Snow as Drake just comes alive with his heart on his sleeve. Each emotion Drake feels is evident and heartfelt. Ava Erickson is so good as Serena. She gives her life as she seeks what her dreams really are, lets us feel her conflict and true love. This is an amazing performance team and wonderful listen.

Fantastic visit to Bayside!

I enjoy friends to lovers stories. This one was a good example of friends to lovers. And how to navigate it.

Drake and Serena were best friends, but also were secretly in love with each other. Drake never wanted to cross that line and then loose his best friend. But then Serena gets her dream job and now it looks like she is moving away and maybe he missed his chance…

Definitely enjoy the story. I loved that Serena didn’t just give in and gave up her dream job. She wanted it and she took it. Maybe the only think that I was a bit hesitant about was that the story was too easy. There was no big dramatic scene, no bit of suspense thrown in, it was just an easy read. I loved the narrator combo though 😊. Aiden Snow is the man. I love listening to his voice and Ava Erickson loved them together 😊

I loved everything about this fabulously delightful steamy romance, from Melissa Foster’s wonderful writing style to the amazing characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narrators who bring it all to life from the pages to your ears. Foster created something special in Bayside it is a place you could easily fall in love with and want to return over and over again. And what makes it so special is the characters and the camaraderie amongst them, you want friends like them and be a part of their group. This book is Drake Savage and Serena Mallery’s story, the two are friends and work together. Serena always had a thing for him but he never showed his interest other than being friends. Drake knew she wanted more than the small town they lived in, she had career goals being an interior designer for a firm in the city. She gets the job of her dreams but she hates leaving her friends behind, especially Drake. Drake admired Serena but kept how he felt about her to himself, he would not be the reason she did not follow her dreams but just as she was about to leave he told her how he felt and their romance took off from there. The chemistry between these two was off the charts and they agree to make their relationship work from a distance. I loved how everything played out in this fabulous friends to lovers romance, it is a feel good and beautifully plotted story that puts a smile on your face, low on the angst, high on the emotions and the heat too. Melissa Foster, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow are wonderfully talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They have a complete understanding of the characters they are portraying, giving each a voice that is a perfect fit for that character’s persona, sounding believable and just as I picture the characters to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the character’s emotions and project them into their performance and have you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
