Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod. Bayside Desires is a USA Today Bestseller In Bayside Desires… As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous job working with his best friends and brother, and a thriving business in Washington, DC, which he’ll be returning to at the end of the summer. Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction. Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the badass half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off. Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.

They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

    It’s no secret that I love Melissa Foster and her vast Love in Bloom series of books. Even the stories that are just so-so for her will still touch you and make you smile. So it’s always fun when I see a new Melissa Foster book pop up on my Kindle. I always pre-order the next Love in Bloom book as soon as I finish the current book! Although, for some reason, this book and series is not (as yet) being marketed as part of that larger series. I definitely view it as an offshoot of the Seaside Summers branch of the series since we met many of the characters in this book in the book Seaside Whispers.

    This story really tugged at my heartstrings. I felt for both our main heroine Desiree and her sister, Violet. Then we get to know Rick better and my heart just broke for him. Yet Rick found a way to bring sunshine and light to Desiree’s life. When Desiree finds her joy, she spreads that joy and brings both “families” together. They fit together so well it’s a beautiful thing.
