Every book's a winner!" --New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Novak "Like Nora Roberts, Melissa Foster has captivated me with her fantastic, sexy, romantic stories." --Kimberly Winning, avid reader. IN SEASIDE EMBRACE... 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 one 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. SEASIDE EMBRACE is part of the SEASIDE SUMMERS romance and "Love in Bloom" romance series.

This book was hot out of the gate. Since the reader already has an idea about the Hunter/Jana dynamic from previous books, the author was able to start this one with a bang. (ba da bum...thank you, I'll be here all week.) The steaminess actually waned later in the book, the romance was high so I didn't miss it too much.
There are so many times in romance that I want to scream at the heroine to WAKE UP!!! I didn't get that frustrated feeling this time because Jana was very aware of her behavior and how it was hurting Hunter. And Hunter was very aware of why Jana did the things she did. I swear, that man has got to be the most understanding guy in the world! But it all worked and I loved their back and forth struggle.
As with the last Seaside Summers book, there was a bit of a rushed ending. Nothing that would cause me to knock it down a star though. And I would have loved to find out more about Clark and his marriage. All throughout Hunter was speculating there was more to the matter than Clark was letting on, yet Clark's explanation fell flat for me. Since it wasn't the main story and could be brought up again (???) I'm not going to let it bother me.
