Hearts at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers Book 3) Kindle Edition
Hearts at Seaside by Addison Cole is the sweet edition of New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster's steamy romance novel Seaside Hearts. The stories and characters remain the same and convey all of the passion you expect between two people in love, without any explicit scenes or harsh language.
In HEARTS at SEASIDE…
Jenna Ward is vivacious, spontaneous, and confident—except when she’s around the man who stole her heart years earlier, strikingly handsome, quiet, and reliable Pete Lacroux. After years of trying to get his attention and overwhelmed from dealing with her mother’s new cougar lifestyle, Jenna’s giving up on Peter—and is ready to explore other men.
As the eldest of five siblings, with an alcoholic father to care for, boat craftsman Pete Lacroux always does the right thing and has no time for a real relationship. He’s looking forward to seeing his friend Jenna, a welcome distraction who’s so sexy and painfully shy that she equally entertains and confuses him.
When Jenna picks up a hard-bodied construction worker, jealousy ignites Pete’s true feelings, and he’s unable to ignore the desires for Jenna he never realized he had. But Pete’s not the quiet guy he appears to be, and his life is anything but conducive to a relationship. Can Jenna handle the real Pete Lacroux—the most alpha male she’s ever seen—or will she crack under pressure? And can Pete reclaim the life he once had without tearing apart his family?

- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018Jenna Ward and Pete Lacroux have been friends although secretly crushing on each other. Jenna gets tongue tied around Pete and Pete has family issues that keep him from being able to be with someone. Jenna has decided to give up on Pete and find someone else, who knew a little competition would be the wake-up call Pete needed. I loved to see the two of them dance around each other and I was glad when they finally got together. Come to find out it wasn’t only Pete dealing with family issues with his father, Jenna was dealing with issues with her mother as well. I always enjoy the friendships the ladies have and how they are always there for each other plus Jenna with her precise marshmallow instructions was awesome. This was a really good book and I was glad to see how everything ended up. I listened to this via an audio book which was narrated by Melissa Moran. I really enjoyed listening to this narrator and thought she did a great job with the characters, I was even tearing up a couple of times. It was great to just sit back and have the story brought to life.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2017The third in Addison Cole's Sweet with Heat Seaside Summer's Series is a heart melting friends to lovers story.
Sexy, sweet, vivacious Jenna Ward has loved local handyman Pete LaCroux for as long as she can remember. This summer she is tired of being in the friend zone, when all of her Seaside Girls seem to be moving on with life, finding themselves and true love.
Pete has always had the hots for blond bombshell Jenna, but is comfortable with their friendship because every time he thinks that he is showing that he is interested, she turns from her loud, giggly outgoing self, into a quiet squeaky mouse that can't seem to look at him.
This story shows the highs and lows of two people wanting more of each other , yet not knowing how to come together at the same time to express it.
Jenna decides that this will be her summer of change. Determined to find a man that will notice her, and give her that first Kiss that comes with the ever longed for Zing, Jenna picks up a construction worker and decides that he will be the one.
All of a sudden after all of these years Pete cannot understand why she would take notice of someone else when he has been here all along. He is more determined than ever up get her to want him and no one else. Family challenges and dynamics get in the way, but they eventually find their way to each other and to that first kiss that isn't necessarily a zing, but “It was more of a ZING, POW, BAM!”
The descriptions in this storyline help to draw you in and hold you. You can't read fast enough because you want to know what happens next, but at the same time you want to read slower and savor all the feelings that you feel and scenes that you see in your head.
I would recommend this book to my friends that like friends to lovers stories, and to anyone that wants that sweet story but only a hint of the heat and flames that comes with a steamy novel. Each book in this series is a stand alone, but you have to read them all, they get better as each new one is introduced.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017MY THOUGHTS
The author gives us a fun, clean read with a little heat here and there. Friends with cottages at Cape Cod get together every summer for some fun and relaxation. They are far from perfect, just ordinary people with all the baggage everyone else has. You immediately want to be at Cape Cod and joining in the fun. This is book three of a series all with the same characters. In this book of the series we have Jenna Ward. She is full of vim and vigor and she feels good about herself. But as usual, we have life, and life for her goes a bit astray when she is around her one man. That man being extremely easy on the eyes, rather reserved Pete Lacroux. He had her heart and he broke it. She had tried hard to get him to notice her romantically but after years of trying, she gave up on Peter. She began looking at other men. Peter with other obligations felt he didn't have time for any romance in his life but Jenna was always a welcome distraction. No romantic interest, just friends? Until she finds a buff, sexy construction worker. Now this was enough to make Peter straighten up and take note. He's beginning to realize he has feelings, not just friendship, for Jenna. But Peter isn't quite what he appears to be, there's more there, much more.
The author gives us a romantic read that brings characters that you can relate to. Haven't most of us wanted to be with someone who just didn't notice us? That's what happened to Jenna. And haven't we all known someone who was so intent on his own life, he didn't take time to notice someone cared and wanted to get to know you better? The author starts you out thinking Peter is this quiet, shy guy, but then, makes you wonder kind of man he really is. The author put just enough spice in this story without taking the sweetness away. You could actually place yourself in Jenna's shoes. You may have been there, just as she is. The story flows nicely and at a steady pace. It's a fun and relaxing read. The characters are well described and they are like people you may or may have known, perhaps even yourself. The setting of Cape Cod couldn't be more than perfect. Imagine being at the seaside with friends, relaxing, enjoying and yet, the baggage is still there. It never goes away.
I received a copy of this book from the author and PUYB and voluntarily decided to review it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017I love this series. The 4 girlfriends are hilarious, expecially when their plotting against the older lady. And their midnight 'Chunky Dunking had me rotfl. Jenna & Pete have been dancing around each other for years now, and Jenna was tired of it. It was time for him to stake his claim, or she'd find someone else who would.
Can't wait to read more, because poor Amy needs to find her HEA, too.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018Book 3 did not disappoint. These books are like taking a mini vacation back to the Cape for me. I live in South Yarmouth and worked in Orleans for a great 5 years. Still miss it and all the friends I made. The Chocolate Sparrow and the great places to eat for lunch are well missed. I love the adventures the girls get into and how the all join together when one of them are in need. Got book 4.
