See all formats and editions

Love grumpy sunshine romance? Yoga teacher Emery Andrews has got her best friend and roommate Dean Masters' heart all tied up in knots. 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 that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. They feature fiercely loyal, alpha male heroes and smart, sexy women. They’re funny, flawed, deeply emotional, and easy to relate to for readers of contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and women's fiction.

In BAYSIDE PASSIONS...
When Emery Andrews's best friend, Desiree, moves away, falls in love, and opens an inn all in one summer, she feels her absence like a missing limb. Until she visits over the holidays and meets sinfully hot Dean Masters, who's as easy on the eyes as he is to talk to. After returning home, what starts as a flurry of late-night flirtations quickly turns into a deep connection and unexpected friendship. Now, months later, Desiree offers Emery a job teaching yoga at the inn. Adventurous Emery jumps at the chance and heads for Wellfleet, Massachusetts, to reunite with her BFF and her new close friend, Dean.

After months of sharing their lives, and their secrets, over video chats and phone calls, Dean's ready to move things to the next level. The fact that Emery seems oblivious to the sparks between them and has recently put her foot down about dating friends just means he'll have to bide his time.

When Emery finds a naked man in her kitchen the first morning she's there, Dean doesn't hesitate to move her into his guest room. Maybe now Emery will see what's right before her eyes--although that guy she's got a date with might be a problem.

From the Author

Cape Cod is one of my favorite places on earth, and creating fun, sexy worlds set on the sandy beaches of Wellfleet and the surrounding areas, with circles of friends who are as close as family, is one of my greatest joys. I hope you love reading the Bayside Summers books, all of which may be enjoyed as standalone romance novels or as part of the larger series. Characters from the Seaside Summers series make cameos in Bayside Summers. They're neighbors, after all!

I Want to Live in Bayside Now!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020

I want to live in Bayside now!! This doesn't surprise me since every time I get engrossed in a Melissa Foster series, I want to live there! Bayside Passions deserves at least 100 stars! I loved Desiree's and Rick's story in Bayside Desires so much that I couldn't wait to dive into Emery and Dean's story!
Emery is Desiree's best friend from Virginia. They've know each other since grade school and have become more like sisters then BFF's. So, when Desiree found her HEA in Rick and stayed in Bayside, it was only natural for Emery to follow. She wasn't happy in Virginia and there was some chaos in her life that she needed to get away from. Emery met Dean at the end of book 1 when she came down for Rick popping the question to Desiree. They hit it off immediately and the chemistry was very evident. But, Emery put Dean in the "friend zone" and denied her feelings for the sake of the friendship.
I loved Emery!!! Her energy, positivity, her mouth with no filter, loyalty, and her wonderful outlook on life were awesome!! I would love to hang out with her for a few days just to soak it up!
Dean is Rick and Drake's friend and business partner. They've know each other since they were kids and have a strong bond. Dean is a landscaper and, really, an artist. He was a trauma nurse but didn't want to be around all the negativity that was involved with the job. It was sucking the life out of him and wanted to be around positive things rather then negative things. This turns out to be an enormous wedge between him and his father, a successful doctor. Dean knew from the moment he met Emery that she had to be in his life! He just had to get her to Bayside and show her how great they were together. And, Man, did he ever!!! This man is amazing!! He's so patient and loving, especially in how he handled any obstacle that Emery threw in their path. He was also extremely romantic, caring, thoughtful, the list goes on!!
Watching Emery slowly realize that she was capable of loving someone and being in a relationship was wonderful. And watching Dean show her that she was perfect for him was fantastic!!
We got to visit with Desiree, Rick, Drake, Serena, and Violet - which was fun. We also get to meet Rose! Lord, I love this woman!! I want to hang out with her and her friends!! I want to be her when I'm a grandmother!!
This was a fantastic love story with great characters in an amazing town. I highly recommend it and the series to everyone!! Now, on to book 3 - Bayside Heat!!!

Another wonderful addition to Melissa Foster’s Love in Bloom family. For some reason this particular offshoot of the series is not numbered in the way the rest are, but I know it’s the second in this offshoot series. I really loved the first book, Bayside Desires. I enjoyed this one, too. It was just a bit harder for me to get lost in…probably more to do with what’s going on in my real life than the book itself. I’m in middle of some major stuff over here and have barely had time to read. Plus, I’ve fallen into bed early actually too tired to get more than a chapter or two in each night.

Regardless of my own personal issues right now, I couldn’t help but swoon over Dean. Oh my, he is a charmer. He’s definitely an alpha male, but somehow comes across as sweet while he’s being bossy. Plus, he seems to know when to back off to give Emery room to breath and regroup when needed.

Emery is so much fun. I love that she found a way to make a living doing what she loves, even if that isn’t what most people would consider a “tradition” career. She never wavers in knowing she is helping people and doing the right thing for herself and those around her. I love that confidence in her abilities. She has other insecurities, but when it comes to her choice in career she is all confidence and take-charge.

I mentioned earlier that I had trouble getting lost in this story. I truly do think it was more of my personal situation. I love the setting, the people, and the story. I’m so beyond ready for Drake and Serena to get their story and their HEA, so I’m glad they’ll be next in this series. These books always make me wish I had the time and money to book a Cape Cod vacation…or just up and move there!

Have you ever met someone & just clicked? You felt like you had known the other person your entire life? Everything was so easy that you just knew something was going to go wrong? This is the feeling that Bayside Passions brought to my mind. Emery & Dean met & just fell into friendship & a relationship. That's sounds so easy & it really wasn't but you get the idea. They met at a wedding & clicked. Then they carried on a long distance friendship for months. Late night phone calls & texting sessions enabled them to get to know each other without anything else getting in the way. Now that Emery has moved to the Cape, can they move beyond friendship or will something happen to derail the relationship?

This was truly a "happy" book. Emery's character is open, friendly & bubbly - exactly the way you'd expect a yoga instructor to be. Dean is built. Strange thing for me to fixate on but what can I say. He's also patient, sensitive & sexy. What I really loved was the way the author showed that they truly were better people together. He helped her to calm down & be a little less chaotic. He also pushed her to the career he knew she loved but was afraid to pursue. She helped him to smile! She also helped him to be less serious & introspective. This was another great story to add to the Bayside group but can easily be a stand alone.

Bayside Passions is another beautiful story in the (Bay Summers Series) After many months of video chats and phone calls Emery is finally relocating to Wellfleet and Dean couldn’t be happier, he’s waited for this moment.
Dean and Emery have wonderful chemistry between them. Emery is a little oblivious of this and she is adamant that she wants to stay in the friends zone, she has her reasons however Dean has other ideas and has his work cut out.
This story is beautifuly paced, its very endearing as you would expect and in true Melissa Foster fashion... there are lessons to be learned and everything has a deeper meaning it’s absolutely fascinating and I always come away knowing so much more.
Emery has a fabulous personality, she’s a bit chaotic, she’s fun, this is what Dean loves about her, she’s had no problems settling in, you can’t imagine her having a problem with anyone.
Dean’s father’s name has been thrown around a few times and you immediately pick up on Dean’s hesitation and you have to wonder what this means.
This story has been building nicely as it focuses on Dean and Emery’s Relationship but when it gets to about 62% it takes on an extra dimension, finding out who the horrible man in Rose’s room is comes as a surprise, and Dean’s father’s attitude towards Emery is awful... how can anyone want to be anything other than pleasant to her.
With Emery worrying and questioning the right thing to do, Dean once again has his work cut out convincing Emery that nothing will come between them.
It isn’t planned but Emery gives an Oscar winning performance to Dean’s Father, Rose loved it but Emery thinks she’s made things worse, unsure she goes home only to find him there with Dean and Jett... it comes as a bit of a surprise but after apologies are exchanged...there’s hope it’s a start.
There are some funny moments but the scene towards the end with Cash and Tango is absolutely brilliant!!
Melissa Foster pulls everything out the bag for another stunning epilogue ..!!
Thank you.

This book is filled with steam, passion and emotion. I adored the story of Dean and Emery, and found I was soon caught up in their story. Emery has had some bad experiences with taking friendships to the next level and this leaves her unsure to give in to her emotions for Dean. Once Dean persuades her to go on some trial dates, Emery soon finds herself giving in.

I have also listened to the audio book version of this, and I love B J Harrisons voice. I find it smooth and relaxing, making listening to books so easy. I soon got lost in Bayside :)

Yet another fantastic read from Melissa. Enjoy :)

Bayside Passions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a very apt title for a book - Bayside Passions is indeed filled with so much passion and steamy romance that for Emery and Dean it is off the charts!

Emery is Desiree’s BFF and she has decided to up sticks and move to Bayside to be beside her and work in the resort doing yoga classes. Emery and Dean became close after Desiree’s wedding and both of them have been talking for months late into the night getting closer and closer with each call. Emery sees Dean as her BFF as well and is so comfortable around him that makes the chemistry even stronger. Dean would love nothing more than to show her what a relationship with him could be like, but she is reluctant as she always ruins her previous ones and doesn't want to cross that line with Dean for fear of losing their friendship at the same time.

Will she give Dean a chance and let him show her how good they can be together? Or will she ruin it before things get off the ground?

This is yet another great addition to Melissa’s book universe and I can't wait to read the next book in the Bayside Summers Series.
