Treat and Max = perfection

Revisado: 07-26-19

Treat Braden and Max Armstrong had an incredibly memorable night in Nassau, Bahamas at one of the resorts owned by Treat during his cousin's wedding but haven't seen each other since that night and Treat's horrible assumption about the actions of Max. Neither of them are prepared for their unexpected meeting in Weston, Colorado during the Indie Film Festival that is run by Max's boss and in the hometown of Treat's father. Treat is given the opportunity during one of the festival parties to reconnect with Max and the sparks are still there for both of them.

And Treat is the ultimate gentleman! Treat knows and indulges Max's love of chocolate frosting and the most romantic gesture of getting Max her favorite flower... sigh, hes dreamy...

But even though Treat is a gentleman and the two of them seem fated from the beginning, they both have a number of issues to overcome including Treat's pressures on himself after his mother's death, a sickness that befalls his father but also Max needing to work through issues with her ex boyfriend.

The most touching part of this novel is we learn about Hope and the special relationship she has in the lives of Treat and all of his siblings and father and how love can transcend even death.

Treat and Max are pretty much perfect and you will not be disappointed in their story. And especially since this is an audiobook the story being told by both a male and female is a wonderful treat and adds to the magic of Treat and Max. It makes me excited to learn more about the stories of Treat's siblings!

Can Blue get past Lizzie’s “interesting” way to make money?

Revisado: 03-14-19

Lizzie Barber runs the local flower shop and Blue Ryder has been her friend since they met at the quadruple wedding of their friends in Seaside. Lizzie has had butterflies with him ever since. Blue is currently helping Lizzie with repairs in her home since he is a contractor, specifically her oven.

Will Blue and Lizzie take the opportunity to move their relationship forward or will Lizzie’s secret webcast, break up their relationship?

Is Blue able to accept the loving reasoning that Lizzie has this “interesting” webcast or will it become a deal breaker for him?

Melissa Moran does a great job narrating, especially some of the more interesting scenes with frosting. Listening to Seized by Love is a wonderful way to learn about Lizzie and Blue and me able to immerse yourself completely in their world.

Seized by Love at Seaside is a nice story of love and how far one will go for their family but also confronting the realities of technology and the role they play in our life. And a story that includes a hunk like Blue is never bad!

A free spirit and a boxer - will it work?

Revisado: 01-23-19

Sky has finally realized her dream of owning her own tatto parlor - as the free spirit of the family it is the perfect thing for her. While tattooing she had come to tattoo quotes that she has attributed to the P-Town Poet.

Sawyer is a professional boxer who has one last big fight left and will then retire as he should have everything he needs financially to take care of his dad. In typical Sawyer fashion he decides he needs to add some ink to his collection and happens upon Inky Skies and Sky’s tattoo shop.

Read the heart-warming story to find out whether Sawyer and Sky are able to build themselves up together or tear themselves apart. You will really enjoy this new member of Seaside and the free spirit vibe and love of poetry that Sky brings to the story. The push and pull of the free spirit and the boxer throughout the novel is wonderful.

Melissa Moran does a great job of narrating and bringing the angst and love to life.

You will not be disappointed if you choose Nights at Seaside.

Blake and Danica and Lacy and Chaz have all descended on a tropical island, courtesy of Blake's cousin along with their family members for the double wedding of their dreams.

Sisters in White is a wonderfully drama-filled, hilarious and tender book that shows the love between the Snow Sisters, with the addition of the newest Snow sister, which is a cause of quite a bit of the drama and laughs...especially when they go snorkeling. Along with a bit of drama from Mother Nature and Chaz's assistant finding a sweet treat that she wasn't quite expecting at the resort.

I loved Sisters in White and listening to all the drama and love was an incredible way to experience the story, do yourself a favor and get Sisters in White today to read all about the incredible Snow Sisters!

This is the second installment of the Snow Sisters by Ms. Foster and picks up right where we left off in Sisters in Love.

Follow along as you read about the strength that Kaylie shows as she progresses through her pregnancy, Danica learns to never underestimate her sister. This novel also tackles the difficult relationship between a mother and a daughter and at the end see the bond that exists only between a mother and a child and transcends all issues. Danica and Blake have some issues they have to address and it provides an opportunity for headstrong Danica to learn from her sister and those around her.

I absolutely LOVED the reading by Mr. Harrison and cannot wait for the next installment of the Snow Sisters!

Mrs Amy Black??

Revisado: 11-13-18

Tony Black and Amy Maples have grown up spending their summers together at the Cape but once they hit adulthood, they each took their own path to begin their careers. Amy became a successful businesswoman and Tony, a world-renowned surfer and motivational speaker. The Seaside gang sees the chemistry between the two of them on full display each summer and how Tony takes care of Amy, in all the small ways but the two of them have never acted on their chemistry.

Except, Tony and Amy have a big secret that neither have shared with anyone. One that could change their friendships with the rest of the Seaside gang forever but could releasing the secret allow Tony and Amy to finally have the relationship they deserve? In addition to the secret holding them back could a job opportunity threaten a romantic relationship between them as well?

I found listening to Ms. Moran to be a very enjoyable experience and I was able to immerse myself in the lives of the Seaside gang.

The end of the novel may be my very favorite moment for the Seaside Gang thus far. You will not be disappointed in this latest installment of the Seaside gang from Ms. Cole.

A flying cell phone leads to love??

Revisado: 10-17-18

Jamie is one of the men of Seaside, he spends a lot of time with his grandma, Vera and uses it as a respite from his life as a technology wizard. Jessica is a world- class incredibly accomplished cellist and takes a summer off to find herself. What Jessica was expecting was to find a name like Jamie in her life. Their story starts hilariously with a flying cell phone and ends with a tuxedo - in between read about the self- discovery of both Jamie and Jessica.

Listening to Ms. Moran narrate this novel allow d me to really immerse myself into Jamie and Jessica and for me I found it to be a great soundtrack as I allowed my mind to imagine Jessica playing her cello or Vera playing her violin - the narration really allowed me to lose myself in Seaside and their beautiful music.

I particularly enjoyed this novel - you will not be disappointed and maybe it will even give you a pause to think about your dreams like Jessica requires of herself.

Chickendales!

Revisado: 09-23-18

Love, love, love Beau and Charlotte! Beau agrees to fix damage done by his cousins at Charlotte's Inn but little does he know, she might actually be fixing his heart. Charlotte is such an incredible free-spirit, erotic romance writer. Her "quirks" are what makes Beau fall for her and made me as a reader fall for her and root for the two of them as well. Charlottes perspective on life is refreshing - from Chickendales to dreamscapes and jars she will make you belief on fairy tales. I also loved the appearances by many others of the Braden family - if you are a fan of other Love in Bloom novels you will love the appearances by some of your other Braden family members.

This beautiful story is narrated by Ava Erickson and Zachary Webber. I had some difficulty with the seemingly, to me, change between narrators. It took some time and I was able to get used to the narration by both but would have preferred either just one narrator or having each of them stick to one character.

Beau and Charlotte are quite simply an amazing surprise - to each other and to us as readers.

Love, love, love this novel. BJ’s performance is incredible and brings this book to life.

This is one of, if not, my favrotie Melissa Foster book to date. Absolutely adore Gage and how real Sally is. If you have been waiting for Sally and Gage's story since the beginning of the Love in Bloom series, you will not be disappointed!
