Bella Abbascia has returned to Seaside Cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, as she does every summer. Only this year, Bella has more on her mind than sunbathing and skinny-dipping with her girlfriends. She's quit her job, put her house on the market, and sworn off relationships while she builds a new life in her favorite place on earth. That is, until good-time Bella's prank takes a bad turn and a sinfully sexy police officer appears on the scene.
Ellie Parker is a master at building walls around her heart. In the 25 years she's been alive, Dex Remington has been the only person who has always believed in her and been there for her. But four years earlier, she came to Dex seeking comfort and then disappeared like a thief in the night, leaving him a broken man. Dex Remington is one of the top PC game developers in the United States. He's handsome, smart, and numb. So damn numb that he's not sure he'll ever find a reason to feel again.
Navy SEAL vet turned private investigator Logan Wild has a thirst for justice - and one-time flings. But when he meets Stella "Stormy" Knight, he finds himself craving more from the mysterious beauty….
In Healed by Love, Nate Braden has loved his best friend's younger sister Jewel for as long as he can remember, but between their age difference and his respect for Rick, he's always kept his feelings at bay. Now he's back in Peaceful Harbor, and Jewel is no longer 16 years old - but there's an even bigger obstacle standing in his way. Nate and Rick joined the military together eight years earlier. Nate came home a hero, but Rick didn't make it out alive.
Handsome, wealthy resort owner Treat Braden is used to getting what he wants. When Max Armstrong walked into his life six months earlier, he saw right through the efficient and capable facade she wore like a shield, to the sweet, sensual woman who lay beneath. She sparked an unfamiliar desire in him for more than a one-night stand, leaving his heart reeling and his blood boiling.
Amanda Jenner is done being a boring man magnet and has finally taken control of her love life. As any smart paralegal would, she's researched the hell out of how to seduce a man. She's waxed, primped, and ready to put her newfound skills into action - and a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect venue for her solo coming-out party.

After working hard all day, creating his beautiful metal sculptures, sinfully sexy Hunter Lacroux likes to unwind with a hot, sexy babe - or two. But after spending a handful of naughty nights with seductive and beautiful Jana Garner, the woman who challenges everything he does and says, Hunter wants more.
As a dancer, boxer, actress, and waitress, Jana is tough, organized, and as dedicated as she is committed. She has to be to maintain her crazy schedule. But when it comes to men, Jana's had a string of bad relationships, and there's only thing she'll commit to - not committing.
White-hot passion ignites every time Jana and Hunter are together, but the closer Hunter gets, the faster Jana runs. When Hunter lays on the charm, Jana throws out a challenge she's sure he can't meet, and Hunter steps up to the plate, forcing her to face her hurtful past or let go of him forever.

This is the story of Jana and Hunter. Both these characters have appeared in previous Seaside Summer series. Their story has to be one of my new favourites loved the chemistry between these two!
I love all of Melissa Foster's books and this one did not fail to deliver. If you want to escape in the wonderful world of Provincetown which is full of the most delicious men on the planet for a couple of hours then this is the ideal book for you!
What made the experience of listening to Seaside Embrace: Hunter Lacroux the most enjoyable?
They are both strong characters and really want the same thing. The story has the right amount of angst,sass,sex and comical moments with Jana being welcomed by the seaside girls.

He just has the voice that can bring the book to life
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Any additional comments?
Even though I have read the book 3/4 times already when you listen to the book its like hearing the story for the first time.
Explosive, sexy, romantic are only a few words I can use to describe this book. Definitely a must listen to for all romance fans and particularly Melissa Foster fans.
Jana Garner is a boxer and a dancer. Hunter Lacroux is a metal sculptor. Both artistic, and both definitely not looking for a relationship, but boy did they ever have sizzling sex. Hooking up was the way to go – no baggage. Jana didn’t even spend the night – she snuck out. Between their brothers and their friends, how could they possibly manage to keep their non-relationship private???
Melissa Foster’s words and B.J. Harrison’s voice made this book come alive. As a stand-alone it’s good. But if you’ve met any of the Seaside gang, it’s better. Enjoy this story and catching up with the Seaside gang, too.
I've listened to a lot of audio books written by Melissa Foster, but she surprised me a bit with this one. The beginning was certainly different. The characters of Jana and Hunter were sexual at the very beginning--with no romance in sight! What??? In a Melissa Foster book? Seriously?
Neither Jana nor Hunter is looking for a relationship...just a occasional sex. But then Jana isn't much into going after her dreams. She's too busy. When Hunter can't even get Jana to say that she wants him and she tells him he doesn't know anything about romance, Hunter takes it as a challenge. What starts as a challenge just to get her to admit she wants him soon turns into way more. Will they both ever admit that they want and maybe already have more?
The narration by B.J. Harrison was great as always!
I love returning to the Seaside Gang. Jana is a strong woman. Hunter is a sexy heck. They were secretly hooking up for 6 months. They were actually committed to each other, however, neither one knew it. Melissa NEVER disappoints. I listened to the audio book and BJ Harrison does a fantastic job narrating.
This was a good addition to the Seaside Series with Jana and Hunter's story. The pair have issues with commitment but as they continue to have 'one night' hook ups Hunter becomes determined to have Jana admit her feelings for him as his grow for her. The pair were relatable as characters and had amazing chemistry together. The pair have issues that are relatable to others and are have strong relationships with their families. I continue to enjoy the emphasis on family in Ms. Foster's books as they carry over in all of her books. The narration by Mr. Harrison flowed well and was enjoyable to the listener. He was enthusiastic in depicting the characters in making the plot flow and move. I enjoyed this book from the start and would recommend it to others.
Once again BJ Harrison did a wonderful job sharing Melissa Foster's story with the listeners. As the narrator, BJ, does a gret job changing his voice, his tone, his cadence, and sending the characters feelings through the words. I could recognize which character was speaking just by the tone of his voice. The feelings each character was easy to pick up on and added so much to the listening of Seaside Embrace.
Oh My Gosh!!! Let me introduce you to Hunter Lacroux. Woo Wee… talk about steamy, sex, hot! He is all that and more. While he is a tough man on the outside he has the biggest, purest, sweetest (he’d hate that) heart of any of the Love in Bloom men. That says a lot because there are a lot of amazing men in this series. A few of them I have claimed as my own book crush but Hunter is the top dog(he’d love that).
Seaside Embrace starts a little different than the rest of this series as that the characters are already in a hot steamy relationship, well not a relationship that they would admit to, but a bed buddies relationship. This threw me for a loop. I had to stop and think about this before continuing reading. It seemed odd that they had a relationship before the story even started. But I loved it and was hooked before I finished the first page.
Jana Garner is just as amazing of a character. I absolutely love how strong she is. She speaks her mind, holds her own, isn’t afraid to push for what she wants, and just never gives up. Yet, she has this soft side, this side that is begging for someone to sweep in and take care of her. Hunter is applying for that job of caretaker, lover, supporter, and #1 man.
Of course, my favorite part of this book is the friendships. The women of Seaside are amazing. They love with their whole hearts, protect what and who is theirs, laugh, smile, and are just the best. They accept new comers to their group without question. Even now with babies and hubbies thrown into the mix they still have time to chunky-dunk and just be together.
