Blurb:
After months of long-distance communication, actress Parker Collins and artist Grayson
Lacroux finally plan to reconnect in the seaside town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. But
Parker never shows, and weeks pass without a word, leaving Grayson to believe he's
misinterpreted their budding relationship. Parker has been running on autopilot ever since she lost her friend, mentor, and the only
family she's ever known, Bert Stein. Armed with junk food, tequila, and her big, lovable
dog, she's prepared to hole up and mourn--and determined to mend a fence Bert had
never been able to with his estranged and bitter brother. But Parker didn't count on the
sinfully hot artist she's been fantasizing about for nearly a year walking in on her grief- induced drunken night. When Grayson stumbles across Parker, he has no idea what to make of the gorgeous
blonde who blew him off despite the heat sizzling between them. But that doesn't stop
him from feeling protective of the woman who's consumed his thoughts for months, and
when he learns of Parker's plans to confront an angry old man, he refuses to leave her
side. As Parker's past unfolds, they're led on an unexpected journey of discovery. Their
connection deepens, and late-night fantasies become passionate realities, until good
intentions spark painful secrets, threatening the love they've found.

What Others Are Saying:
"You can always rely on Melissa Foster to deliver a story that's fresh, emotional and
entertaining. Make sure you have all night, because once you start you won't want to

"Melissa Foster is synonymous with sexy, swoony, heartfelt romance!" New York Times
Bestseller Lauren Blakely
Excerpt: "Trust me?” Grayson asked. “Trust a guy who hauled me over his shoulder and kidnapped me?” She looked toward
the bar. “Yeah, trust that guy.”
“I do trust you.” She poked him in his chest. “But if I end up on the front of some rag
magazine, I’m hiding out in your basement. With Christmas, chocolate, and a boatload of
horror movies that you have to watch with me.”
“Sweetheart, if you move into my house, you won’t be watching movies or hiding out in
the basement. You’ll be lucky if you make it out of the bedroom. In fact”—he slid his
hand to the nape of her neck, causing her eyes to glaze over with desire—“maybe I
should take a few of those pictures and make that happen.” He’d taken a chance, saying
something so brazen and holding her like this in the cab of his truck, but he couldn’t hold
back.

I have received an advanced readers copy of Seaside Lovers in exchange for my honest review.

This is the first story from the Love in Bloom series by Melissa Foster that I have read. It is a complete standalone, but includes scenes with other couples I can only assume were from earlier in the series.

This book takes us on an emotional roller-coaster follow Parker, the famous Hollywood Actress who has ran to her home in the Cape to mourn and just eat chocolate with her dog Christmas. Until Greyson shows up late during her chocolate, tequila and horror film bender scaring the crap out of Parker. These two have a business relationship that has been ten months in the making.

This story is sweet and loving, and mushy and romantic with a tiny side of mourning loss and suspense.

I like this book very much, because the character development is amazing. You really get into Parkers head and feel what it must be like to be a movie star.  These two are so cute, you are routing for them to get together, and your not even thinking about the fact that they just physically met!

4 stars!
