Seaside Summers is a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series. Fall in love with Matt Lacroux in Seaside Whispers. SEASIDE SUMMERS is the newest addition to the LOVE IN BLOOM series, featuring a group of fun, sexy, and emotional friends who gather each summer at their Cape Cod cottages. They're funny, flawed, and will have you begging to enter their circle of friends. Having a mad crush on her boss’s son, Matt Lacroux—an intriguing mix of proper gentleman and flirtatious bad boy—is probably not the smartest idea for single mother Mira Savage. Especially when the company, and her job, is already on shaky ground. But as a Princeton professor, Matt’s life is hours away from Mira’s home on Cape Cod, keeping him safely in the fantasy-only zone. And as a single mother to six-year-old Hagen, with a floundering company to save, fantasies are all she has time for. With hopes of becoming dean off the table, and too many months of longing for a woman who lived too far away to pursue, Matt’s publishing contract couldn’t have come at a better time. He heads home to Cape Cod on a brief sabbatical, intent on starting his book, and finally getting his arms around sweet, seductive Mira. A surprise encounter leads to white-hot passions and midnight confessions. The more time Matt and Mira spend together, the deeper their relationship grows, and the love and attention Matt showers on Hagen is more than she has ever dreamed of. But Matt’s sabbatical is only temporary, and Mira’s not saving his father’s company so she can leave it behind. Will their whispers of love be enough for one of them to change their life forever?

This story is very sweet. One of the things I like about Melissa Foster’s books is she doesn’t have her characters respond in an over the top way to little things like a lot of romance authors tend to do. Yet in this story it was almost like there wasn’t enough conflict.
Matt and Mira both had reservations, sure. Matt thought he was just taking a break from teaching and would be leaving soon. Mira has to worry about her son’s attachment to someone who wouldn’t be sticking around. I love how Matt reassures Mira constantly and I do believe her reservations are valid as a mother. It was pretty early on that it was obvious Matt was going to make the relationship work regardless of his career path.
The relationship between Matt and Mira’s son Hagen is probably my favorite part of this book. I love a man who is good with kids! Especially with kids who remind me of my oldest (who is now an adult) that to this day many don’t understand. Matt gives Hagen confidence to be who he is and that’s a beautiful thing. There was a bit that bugged me when Mira was afraid Hagen was being teased because he asked about being a nerd. That upset me because she automatically assumed being called a nerd is a bad thing. These days it is not the derogatory term it was in the 60’s. There is a sweet wrap up to that later in the book that made me feel better about that whole bit of story. That’s the thing with this author, she always seems to tie up her loose ends in a good way.
