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 stand-alone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

Bayside Heat

Drake Savage has always done the right thing, especially where beautiful and fiercely determined Serena Mallery is concerned - even when it means keeping his feelings for her to himself. Serena has always wanted more than what their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, has to offer, and Drake's roots are so deeply entrenched in the Cape that all he can do to watch her pack up her life and move away.

Serena has always had big dreams. As a teenager, she dreamed of becoming an interior designer and marrying smart, musically inclined, sexy-as-sin Drake Savage. Now she's finally landed a killer job with a top interior design firm, but though she has spent the last four years working side by side with Drake, he's never made a move. Four years is long enough for her to accept reality, and her new job in Boston is the perfect way to move on.

A weak moment leads to sizzling, sensual kisses, opening a door through which they've both been aching to walk. But Serena's determined not to give up her shot at the career she's always dreamed of, and Drake has loved her for too many years to stand in her way. With true love at their fingertips and a world of unstoppable passion igniting between them, can the two star-crossed lovers find their way to their happily-ever-after?

I love this story how Melissa bought in so many of the other chattering this HEA. Book Thrasher and his wife. Would love to see in a story with maybe some of the Badd boys after dark. Love CurtBradwn and his wife cameo also.

This is book three in the Bayside Summers Series and you get Drake and Serena's book. This is a best friends to lovers story. There is such intense heat between these two, that they both try to avoid and it has so many feels. I absolutely loved this story. Drake is swoony and Serena is his perfect match. You can't help but to cheer for them to make it work.

Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow were perfect as Serena and Drake. They really brought this story to life.

Intense Heat...

Drake and Serena have both had feelings for each other since they were teenagers but have never said anything. Drake hasn’t because he doesn’t want to hold Serena back from achieving her dreams and Serena has been waiting for him to show that he is interested. When she takes a job that will take her away and to Boston, their feelings finally come out. The two have will have to figure out a long distance relationship that is brand new. This was an enjoyable read and the characters had a good depth to them. Not too much drama which was nice as well. The audio was really good. The narrators did a great job.

Enjoyable listen

Bayside Heat is everything I look for in a summer read - or listen as the case may be. It has plenty of feels but is still low angst. The characters are relatable and so easy to root for, and the chemistry is off the charts. Drake and Serena tiptoe around each other a bit, but there's no denying what's between them. The romance is friends to lovers and a first love romance, and it's a great combination of sweet and sexy. There are also some chuckle-worthy moments, which I always appreciate, and I love that the secondary characters are just as important to the story as our couple. Everyone, from the woman making donuts to the overbearing boss to the little scene stealer (just give it a listen, you'll know who I mean) - anyway, everyone adds something to the story, and the more I listened, the more I'm convinced I have to go back and listen to the first two in the series. Yes, this is a standalone, but now that I've met them, I need more of these characters.
Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow give voice to the characters, and their performance was nothing short of what I've come to expect from both of them. When it comes to feels and keeping the energy of the story up, these two bring it. So, I'd have to say that Melissa Foster's terrific writing combined with Ava Erickson's and Aiden Snow's narration is a pretty unbeatable match.

Bayside Summer book #3 is Drake and Serena’s love story. When two people that have so much sexually charged energy keep things friendly, things are bound to explode into hot passion. I really enjoyed their book. I loved watching them finally give in to their intense connection and explore things as a couple. I couldn’t get enough of the friendships, they are a great tight knit group. Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow did a wonderful job portraying the characters.

What a great story from Melissa Foster. This is my first book in the series and I didn't feel like I was missing anything beginning here, although I would love to go back and read/listen to the previous books. This is a wonderful friends-to-lovers story about Serena and Drake. Plus we get to have all of their friends right along side them for their journey. Both narrators did a wonderful job conveying all of the characters. Definitely worth a listen!

Loved this audio!

This third book in the Bayside Summers series was a beautiful friends to lovers romance! Drake and Serena have been best friends for years, and they know each other better than they know themselves. Drake has always wanted Serena, but never wanted to hold her back from achieving all her dreams. Serena is resigned that she can never have Drake, so she takes a job in Boston to move on with her life. This is the catalyst that Drake needs to finally be honest about his feelings for her. But Serena now lives hours away so they will have to work hard to have the love they always wanted. But big city jobs and commitments soon get in the way of Serena being with the people she loves most. Drake has enjoyed his own success, so will make any sacrifice for them to be together. I loved the way that Serena and Drake fell easily into their new romantic relationship. Their strong friendship effortlessly became a robust and fiery romance. I loved Serena and Drake together so much, they fit so seamlessly, had explosive chemistry, that I really cheered for their HEA! This is a beautiful, heartfelt, and charming story filled with fun banter, quirky characters, awkward situations, and fiery chemistry.

Ava Erickson, and Aiden Snow were perfectly cast as Serena and Drake. They delivered the characterizations, anticipation, and passion so flawlessly, making me see both Serena and Drake so clearly in my mind, that I was easily lost in the story. I was so invested in their performance and in these characters, that I was totally captivated from start to finish.
I loved this fun, sweet & sexy romance, and want more of these wonderful friends and family of Bayside!

I have loved the other 2 books in this series. No surprise that the 3rd book is just as awesome!! Melissa Foster never disappoints me!! Serena and Drake's story was so good. Drake Savage and Serena Mallory have been friends for years. They both have crushed on each other for years but never acted on it. Before Serena leaves for her new job they give into their desires. Neither can live without the other but can they make it work with Serena's job in Boston. I love all the secondary characters in this series. Highly recommend this book. Ava Erickson and Aiden Snow did amazing with the narration!!

Super Hot

The heat is on. Foster steps into the season with a whole lot of sunshine and a hint of heartache. Bayside Heat is a tempting walk down memory lane with two friends afraid to risk their hearts. Serena wanted forever, but Drake never made a move. Relocated to the friend zone, she's given up hope of ever having more. When a once in a lifetime opportunity comes her way, will Drake face his fears and listen to his heart? Funny, sunny and sweeter than honey.
