Bayside Escape: Bayside Summers, Book 4
Audible Audiobook
– Unabridged
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. They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.
Hold on to your hat for Violet's wildly hot love story! Lizza is up to her old tricks again, and Violet is in for the surprise of a lifetime!
Two years ago Violet Vancroft was a nomadic artist who never wanted to put down roots, and Andre Shaw was a prominent Boston physician whose roots ran too deep to unearth. Their love didn't stand a chance - or at least that's what Violet believed when she received a plea for help from the sister she'd never really known - so she snuck away like a thief in the night.
Now Andre travels the world setting up new medical clinics, and Violet has finally found the family she'd always craved and the roots she'd never known she wanted. When their paths cross unexpectedly, it's not the reunion either one imagined. But they've never stopped loving each other, and after the dust of anger and hurt settles, passion ignites even hotter than before. As the end to Andre's time at the Cape nears, reality sets in, leaving them no closer to a future than they were before. Violet and Andre are forced to dig deep to discover if they're destined to live apart forever or if true love really can conquer all.
Bayside Summers is part of the Love in Bloom romance collection by New York Times and USA Today best-selling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. While each book may be listened to as a stand-alone, you might enjoy the entire Love in Bloom series. Characters from each sub-series appear in future books. Visit Melissa's website for family trees, series checklists, and more.
Binge listen the rest of the Love in Bloom series. Filled with heat, humor, and heart - and always a happily ever after - these steamy romances are perfect beach listens!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020I started the Bayside series to get to Violet’s book and I’m so glad I did!! Violet and Andre’s story was epic and so amazing!
Violet has intrigued me since I first heard about her in A Little Bit Wicked, I know I have read out of order. She seemed like such a complex character, but I didn’t even know the half of it! The more I learned about what life was like for Violet growing up with Lizza, the more my heart went out to her. But Lizza not only cheated her out of having loving parents, she also gave her experiences she would have never had otherwise. And put her in the path of her one true love!
Andre is simply fantastic!! He is rivaling Drake for the most compassionate, supportive man!! He is literally the definition of soulmate! He is passionate about medicine, children, his art and Violet. Even though Violet up and left him after he proposed to her without a word, he still lives her deeply.
Andre brought out the best in Violet, but she did the same for him. She was the influence behind him becoming a traveling doctor and opening up clinics in needed areas around the world. They were just a perfect match in every way!! And it was wonderful to see Andre bring out the softer side of Violet.
I absolutely LOVED this book!!! I highly recommend it to everyone, as well as the whole series!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019If you have been waiting for Violet's story and chance at happy your wait is over! Since I read the first book in this series and we all met Violet, Desire's sister I have wondered about her. What makes her tick? Is she has tough as she comes off? You will love hearing more about her, and her life before she showed up in Bayside. I love the writing in all Melissa Foster's book, you feel like you are in the story. Characters are developed and deep and are likeable. After reading Vi and Andre's story I love her even more than I did in the previous books. She is so strong and independent but she needs people and love and affection more than she let's on.I love how Melissa Foster focused somewhat on impressions from a child turn into adult feelings. Some legit some just from a child perspective. She did a great job portraying that in the story. Andre is ridiculously hot and you will love him for Vi. We also meet a few new characters that I am look forward to getting to know in the future! This was a great story and very real and a bit raw. I loved reading it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 20194.5 stars
I've been looking forward to Violet's book for a while, which is interesting because Violet kind of annoyed me in the previous books. I'm usually interested in seeing books written from the perspective of characters that annoy me. I always hope that there's some underlining reason for their behavior and that they acknowledge their actions in the previous books.
Well, I certainly became a fan of Violet. She has a vulnerable side to her, which was great to see. She went through a rough childhood, which she still has a lot of issues from in the present day. (And I really wanted to smack her mother, lol) And despite how snarky she is with her sister, she deeply values their relationship and wants to stay close with her.
I also loved her relationship with Andre. I loved how all in he was and how he just took Violet as she was and didn't try to change her. And I like that despite their differences, they were able to find a happy median.
Despite this being the fourth book in the Bayside Summers series, this book can definitely be read as a standalone. I say that mainly because there is a link to a character list provided in the book, which helps keep track of all of the supporting characters. However, Melissa Foster does such a good job of identifying the characters in the book that I only needed to check the list twice while reading.
All in all, a great book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019If you like 2nd chance love stories.....look no further. This is one of Melissa Foster's best stories. She uses humor, nosy friends, heart tugs, and love as she tells Violet & Andre's story. I was hooked from page one. These two meet up after about 2 years of separation at Violet's sister's wedding by the way of their mother, Lizza. We finally learn what makes Violet tick. What her back story is. Melissa helps us put the puzzle of Violet together one word, one sentence, one paragraph, one page, one chapter at a time. And, as the pieces start coming together, you start seeing why Violet is the way she is now. We get to see who she is through Andre's eyes, her sister's eyes, her friend's eyes.....each one a different piece. And, as we start putting these pieces together, we realize that Violet has many layers, that Andre takes great pleasure in revealing. Like another reader mentions, this is a great quote from this story: “I finally know the true meaning of home. It isn’t about whether I spent my childhood there or how many years I’ve lived somewhere. It’s a feeling of safety and unconditional love, and as long as you’re by my side, I’m always home.” That is what Violet has been seeking her whole life: unconditional love and the feeling of home, something she didn't feel she had until Andre entered her life. It was such a joy to watch Violet blossom under Andre's love in this story. And, I enjoyed getting updates from former characters and being introduced to new ones that we'll get to know more about in future stories. I am looking forward to the next story......the next adventure that Melissa has lined up for us!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bayside Hit
I have been waiting for read Vi's story for a while now and knew that what ever Melissa wrote it would explain everything about Vi and her carefree attitude to life & love. You get to see Vi's soft side and her chance to have another chance at love. I fell in love with Violet from the beginning and Andre just brings out another side to her.
Loved this story!!
