Author: Melissa Foster

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About BAYSIDE FANTASIES:

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, and easy to relate to.

In BAYSIDE FANTASIES…
Tegan Fine has never had a plan—life, business, or otherwise. But she’s always had goals—to laugh daily and to pay it forward as often as she is able, just like her favorite uncle always did. After inheriting her great-uncle’s amphitheater, Tegan makes a risky move to a charming small town on Cape Cod to carry on her uncle’s legacy and hopefully expand the business with her new friend, Harper. Unfortunately, those goals aren’t doing much to help her plan a business strategy for her new endeavor. With Harper counting on her and her uncle’s legacy at stake, she swears off all distractions, determined to succeed. If only she could stop bumping into a certain arrogant, witty, and excruciatingly hot businessman who tweaks her nerves and invades her every thought. Including her late-night fantasies.

Self-professed workaholic Jett Masters never slows down. He lives life with no attachments—except to his clients, to whom he gives his all. A reluctant trip to his hometown has him itching to shake the ghosts of his past and get back to spinning deals and adding to his investments. But when he comes face-to-face with a gorgeous, handsy woman who is quite possibly the snarkiest and most disorganized person he’s ever met, sparks fly, and his sharp mind stumbles. He doesn’t even know her name, but he can’t get her out of his mind.

A chance encounter turns into a wild, sexy night, and their chemistry is off the charts—even if their ideals, and their lives, are worlds apart. Neither Jett nor Tegan is looking for more. Becoming friends with benefits seems like the perfect solution. But when they are trapped together in torrential weather, they work side by side in the aftermath, and every passionate kiss deepens their connection. Secrets are shared, trust is built, and no promises dare be made. As their lives move on, lines begin to blur, hearts get hurt, and their true selves come into focus. Tegan and Jett are left wondering if they make the perfect storm, or if they’ve reached the end of their bayside fantasy.

Excerpt:

He moved more aggressively than he had at the café, exuding raw masculinity that made Tegan’s mouth go dry. His virility was not like Dean’s, wrapped around sheer size. No, this man had an innately captivating presence driven by confidence. Every woman there was dressed for sex, and Tegan knew she was nowhere near the best-looking one of them, but his eyes never left hers.

When he reached her, he said, “Five minutes ago I was wondering how I was going to cut the night short without insulting anyone.” He stepped closer. So close, his chest almost brushed hers. “Now all I want to do is make sure you don’t run off again without giving me your phone number, because I’ve got to tell you, searching sticky-note girl on Instagram got me nowhere.”

She laughed softly, enjoying this flirtatious side of him. “Sticky-note girl?”

“I tried searching hot chick at Sundial Café, but no luck there, either.”

“You did not.”

He flashed a coy smile that was so different from what she’d seen earlier, she could do little more than stare…and wonder how many other smiles he had yet to share. Did he have a wolfish one in the bedroom? Or was he all business there? Was there a carefree smile tucked away somewhere? One that came out when he wasn’t being Mr. Suave or Mr. Business? He may not be her pay-it-forward soul mate, but she wasn’t at the Cape looking for love anyway. She’d had a couple of flings in college, but it had been years since she’d done anything so reckless. She wondered if it would be considered reckless if her friends knew and trusted him? No, she decided. It’s just impulsive. An adventure.

He was looking at her with a playful, sexy expression, causing her pulse to quicken even more. God, he wore that look well. Maybe a fling with the object of her fantasies would help her focus on the business she was supposed to be working on.

“I also searched Miss Fine, but you were nowhere to be found. What’s a guy to do?” His brow furrowed, and he said, “I didn’t think to search Fuckable Flirt. That’s a nice surprise. One I can definitely attest to.”

“Wha—” She gasped, then remembered her eye mask. She tore it off, quickly reading the tag. Fuckable Flirt. She was going to kill Jana.

Review – The Better Man by Len Webster

The Better Man 
(A standalone)

by: Len Webster

Review Rating:

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

Len Webster knows how to pull at your heartstrings with love triangles and angsty writing. The Better Man is an fine example of the web she knows how to weave.

Savannah Peters you may recognize if you read the Science of Unrequited series. This is a total and complete standalone from that series, but you may recognize a few people (and squeee in delight like I did) along the way.

Savannah appears to be a glutton for punishment, caught in a relationship where she is only being used. No matter how much she gives, or how many times she says she is done and then returns, or is emotionally abused she never severs ties to her abuser. It’s hard when you don’t put yourself first in a relationship. It’s also hard when it’s what you’ve known growing up in your very own household. A mother who loves money and shiny objects more than her own daughter isn’t exactly the best role model or the best one to receive affection from. Savannah is stuck in a cycle that she doesn’t know how to break free from considering she’s stuck in the same one with her own mother.

When Savannah meets someone new, someone who actually treats her with kindness, appreciation, adoration, and like she is someone who deserves to be loved, Savannah’s world opens up to something she’s never had. Is she really worthy? Is this real? So many questions plague her along with the noose of her old relationship that keeps pulling her down. With promises of being a better man she’s torn between her old love and the possibilities of a new one. What will she decide when she’s at a crossroad?

Love is so scary when habits are so easy to slip back into. So often we don’t feel worthy of better so we revert to what’s easy, but with a simple change of how we feel, or in how we look at life we can open ourselves to so much better in the world. This book is a great reminder of what we get when we make better choices.

**So, why haven’t I given names to whom Savannah is in a love triangle with? Well….I believe you should discover that for yourselves. Who will be the better man for her? Take the journey and find out. Is it man #1 or man #2?

Synopsis:

Savannah Peters thought she kept her one forbidden lover and their soft touches and midnight whispers entangled in the bed sheets of their past. Their secret relationship tarnished by his lies and betrayal.

The basketball star was toxic, and Savannah was … in love.

A dangerous, disappointing combination she had to escape.

Years after Savannah walked away, he returns, pleading for one more chance.
A chance she questions—especially when she sits under beautiful constellations with a man who gives her what her ex couldn’t.

Better.

After the stars burn out, Savannah will learn that one man is a painful lesson, and the other might just be the one …

But who will be the better man?
