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 standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women.

While each audiobook may be listened to as a standalone, you might enjoy listening to the entire Love in Bloom series. Characters from each sub-series appear in future audiobooks.
In Bayside Desires...
As the co-owner of Bayside Resorts, Rick Savage has a fabulous beachfront resort where he works with his best friends and brother, and plenty of beautiful women to keep him company. When Desiree Cleary moves in next door to take care of her mother's estate, Rick sets his sights on the sexy and oh-so sweet pre-school teacher. But Desiree's sister isn't keen on the fast-talking playboy making moves on the younger sister she's never had a chance to get to know. And she has other ideas in store - like opening Summers Inn, a bed and breakfast that could be big-time competition for Rick's resort.
All Bayside books can be listened to as standalone audiobooks or as part of the series:

- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2021I can't think of a better way to end my reading year than with Rick and Desiree.
Rick and Desiree meet at the beginning of the summer when Desiree's mom, Lizza, tells a couple lies to get her daughters to come to the Cape and watch over her gallery. Desiree is a preschool teacher and Rick's an architect. Even though their romance starts with the clear deadline of when Rick goes back to his home in DC, sparks fly and they fall in love.
I met Desiree and Rick in the last book of Melissa's I read - Tempted by Love - and it was so much fun going back to the beginning and seeing how their love started. It was also fun seeing Desiree, the best friend Emery misses so much in book 2 of this series (yes, I've skipped ahead).
This book has all the bests - intense passion, a sweet and thoughtful alpha hero, and a heroine who definitely holds her own. Desiree may not swear or do much to get her in trouble, but when she and Rick are together, the passion definitely speaks for itself.
As always, I enjoyed Melissa's characters and world-building. Desiree and her half-sister Violet got a new chance to know each other, and Rick's family and friends were a fantastic addition to the story. Everyone melds together so well, creating the perfect summer atmosphere.
A must-read for all Foster fans!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024Rick and Desiree meet at Bayside, on the beach. Immediate mutual attraction. They are both there temporarily. This was a great read, sweet, sexy, with some quirky bits. Great relationships and families.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024A really easy to read, sweet and steamy romance that had touching emotional moments and dificult ones like dealing with grief and feelings of abandonment. Rick is a real sweetheart and a sensitive and caring romantic at heart who falls first for Desiree and falls hard. Desiree is cautious by nature and because of her childhood, but with Rick she chooses to take a risk and goes all in with her heart and trust. The two are perfect for the other and their romance was really sweet to read and had me smiling at the end.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2022This was a great book! Oh my gosh, humor and sadness, and everything else all within these pages.I can't tell you how long it's been since I laughed as hard as I did at reading about their mom's studio! The tears were falling so hard I couldn't read! I had to stop and and collect myself and try again....and once more was rolling with laughter. I thought about doing a screen shot of those three pages for when I'm feeling depressed. The scene was so so well written! I even stopped and went to share it with my sister, then we were both rolling with laughter. I loved everything in this book. Can't wait for the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2017Bayside Desires by Melissa Foster
I absolutely love this book! Everything about it is so real, you picture yourself right in the thick of things.
Desiree grew up with her father, while her jet setting mother and stepsister went all over the world. Always wanting, but never getting her mother’s attention, she withdrew and did stopped painting because her mother was a painter. she did the exact opposite, in fact, and somewhere along the way she lost herself.
Lizza, her mother sends Desiree a really cryptic note on how she needs to come to Wellfleet right away, it was a matter of her life. Freaking totally out, Desiree tries to contact Violet, her stepsister, but can’t reach her. Frantically, she gets on a plane hoping to find some answers.
What Desiree doesn’t know is that Lizza sent a message to Violet, saying Desiree’s life depended on Violet coming to Wellfleet.
Both sisters started on a journey to not only finding themselves again, but finding their sister again.
Once in Wellfleet, Desiree goes to the ocean to try and make sense out of her conflicting emotions and encounters Rick Savage, a hunkalicious guy on a jet ski. Rick manages to give her his number before she tries to leave and hopes she will call.
What Desiree and Rick don’t know is that the Cosmos is already working to get them together, just how long will it be before they get together?
I love how this book worked in magical auras and cosmos with love and happiness.
Violet grew up with Lizza, after Lizza left Desiree’s father. She led a lonely life with Lizza usually off in her own world.
Both girls thought the other had the better life, neither knew the loneliness they felt was also felt by the other.
Once both Desiree and Violet arrive, Lizza leaves once again, planting a whopper on them, that if they don’t stay and run her shop, they will lose their grandmother’s house.
Working together to get the house fixed up, the shop running and keeping Cosmos, their mother’s dog out of trouble, brings the sisters back together.
Desiree and Rick come together with the help of Cosmos and Desiree starts painting again. Rick is only in Wellfleet for a little while and then back to DC where he lives. Desiree has to make a decision to either stay in Wellfleet and move away from her job and best friend and Rick.
Will everything work out and will the Cosmos really align everyones happiness? Will something that was told to Rick a while ago really come true? “Life will take you where you need to be when you need to be there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
I loved this new spin off from Melissa Foster!!! I totally fell in love with Desiree Cleary!!! She is a strong but shy teacher from Virginia, who gets sucked in to spending the summer in Cape Cod. On her first day there she runs into the hot, out going Rick Savage, who runs a resort there. The two have instant chemistry and all you want to do is root for them. Rick, though has past ghosts that have kept him from living there by his family!! He is living in Washington DC. For two people that did not want to be there, can they change their minds and build their life there!!! Everyone should read this book and find out how they both concurred their fears!!! Definitely a one click buy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Cosmos..!!
Here we go again with the start of another fabulous series from Melissa Foster and with some familiar faces you can't help but feel right at home.
The opening scene is brilliant with Desiree talking to her best friend Emery... already you love them both, it's a light hearted moment as they toss back and forth with banter about the sexy guy on the jet ski and Desiree's needing to let loose a little... life was about to get a whole lot more interesting for Desiree and we are already hooked.
Rick couldn't resist and after completely drenching Desiree he had a perfect excuse to not only apologise but to find out who this beautiful girl is.
The exchange of words between the two of them is absolutely beautiful and this continues on throughout, not once dissapointing. There's plenty of fun and good humour, curtesy of Violet and let's not forget Cosmos the dog, that word Cosmos meant and played a big part however there are some sad elements to this story too. The circumstances surrounding the death of Rick's father is heartbreaking especially as Rick hadn't fully dealt with the repercussions and then there is Desiree and Violet's mother Lizza, she was a different story and as sad as that appeared to be you couldn't help liking her character straight away, she certainly wasn't nasty... just a bit flighty!
This story had a beautiful beginning with an even more beautiful ending... the way everyone came together at the end was just perfect.!
2nd book is on pre-order.
Thank you Melissa Foster.!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome
I'm not really good at writing reviews but I will say that Melissa's books are always great. I love how this book shows the bond between brothers and sisters even if they are far away from each other. It also shows how true love makes us stronger than we think we are and we could overcome our fears!!! And I think cosmos is hilarious!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars So sweet and yet so sexy!!
Absolutely love Rick and Desiree’s story!! The way Rick was so patient with Desiree while making her aware of her “naughty” side was endearing and so darn hot. I love the addition of new characters to love in Wellfleet and I look so forward to reading more in the Bayside series
