After working hard all day, creating his beautiful metal sculptures, sinfully sexy Hunter Lacroux likes to unwind with a hot, sexy babe - or two. But after spending a handful of naughty nights with seductive and beautiful Jana Garner, the woman who challenges everything he does and says, Hunter wants more.

As a dancer, boxer, actress, and waitress, Jana is tough, organized, and as dedicated as she is committed. She has to be to maintain her crazy schedule. But when it comes to men, Jana's had a string of bad relationships, and there's only thing she'll commit to - not committing.

White-hot passion ignites every time Jana and Hunter are together, but the closer Hunter gets, the faster Jana runs. When Hunter lays on the charm, Jana throws out a challenge she's sure he can't meet, and Hunter steps up to the plate, forcing her to face her hurtful past or let go of him forever.

I love returning to the Seaside Gang. Jana is a strong woman. Hunter is a sexy heck. They were secretly hooking up for 6 months. They were actually committed to each other, however, neither one knew it. Melissa NEVER disappoints. I listened to the audio book and BJ Harrison does a fantastic job narrating.

Hunter and Jana both avoid relationships, but have been hooking up with only each other for months.  They are great in bed but always yell and argue with each other. I enjoyed watching their relationship bloom over time.  Hunter is a very sweet, sexy guy and really wanted to turn his playboy ways around, but Jana was really afraid.  This is a very fun, romantic story and you will enjoy all the usually friends and family that get together in Seaside and have so much fun together.  B.J.’s narration was great and I am looking forward to listening to the next book in this series.

Love Hunter and Jana ❤️

Melissa Foster has done it again in writing a fantastic story. I love how she has created a group of characters that have depth, passion, friendships, and feel good moments. The humor she injects in the books is also great. The chemistry between characters is sizzling. I loved Hunter and Jana in this book. BJ Harrison is amazing bringing the characters to life. He adds the right inflections to his voice. The underlying message of overcoming insecurities and trusting oneself is poignant. This is an awesome listen.

Hunter!

I've listened to a lot of audio books written by Melissa Foster, but she surprised me a bit with this one. The beginning was certainly different. The characters of Jana and Hunter were sexual at the very beginning--with no romance in sight! What??? In a Melissa Foster book? Seriously?
Neither Jana nor Hunter is looking for a relationship...just a occasional sex. But then Jana isn't much into going after her dreams. She's too busy. When Hunter can't even get Jana to say that she wants him and she tells him he doesn't know anything about romance, Hunter takes it as a challenge. What starts as a challenge just to get her to admit she wants him soon turns into way more. Will they both ever admit that they want and maybe already have more?
The narration by B.J. Harrison was great as always!

Loved these characters!

I originally read this story when it was first released in print, but I was so excited to listen to it as well! Jana and Hunter are both independent, passionate people that “don’t do relationships”. Both are very dedicated to their work as well. They get together occasionally but without strings attached. When they are together sparks ignite. As time goes by, it gets harder for these two to not feel attached. Hunter begins to realize he wants more, but will Jana stick around or run? I really enjoyed the interactions between these two characters. It was also great to catch up with the rest of the Seaside gang!

Irresistible relationship

Seaside Embrace is the sixth book in the Seaside Summers series. Jana and Hunter really are meant to be together. But will they see it that way? I loved their story, and I enjoyed listening to the narrator. I highly recommend this book.

Take me to Cape Cod for the summer! I love these books and the community Melissa Foster has created for me to escape with! It's like I am one of the bunch and get to enjoy all the relationships that are being built. Hunter and Jana have been sleeping together for the last year. Agreeing they do not want a relationship, they enjoy each other. But something has changed and Hunter is on a mission to win Jana over. Will he be able to? Does he know what romance is? Will she see his love? Talk about romance, Hunter had me from the very beginning. He is quite the man and he knows what he needs to do. There were periods that Jana frustrated me, but that just makes the story that much better. A little conflict goes a long way for these two to find their happiness. I also love seeing everyone else. From the happy couples to those with marriage problems, we live realistic issues with this community and I love how Foster compassionately handles it. Another amazing listen.

BJ Harrison continues his narration of the series. I love this because not only is he a good narrator, but he is consistent between books, making the series amazing. He enhances the listens and leaves me happy and satisfied!

Once again BJ Harrison did a wonderful job sharing Melissa Foster's story with the listeners. As the narrator, BJ, does a gret job changing his voice, his tone, his cadence, and sending the characters feelings through the words. I could recognize which character was speaking just by the tone of his voice. The feelings each character was easy to pick up on and added so much to the listening of Seaside Embrace.

Oh My Gosh!!! Let me introduce you to Hunter Lacroux. Woo Wee… talk about steamy, sex, hot! He is all that and more. While he is a tough man on the outside he has the biggest, purest, sweetest (he’d hate that) heart of any of the Love in Bloom men. That says a lot because there are a lot of amazing men in this series. A few of them I have claimed as my own book crush but Hunter is the top dog(he’d love that).

Seaside Embrace starts a little different than the rest of this series as that the characters are already in a hot steamy relationship, well not a relationship that they would admit to, but a bed buddies relationship. This threw me for a loop. I had to stop and think about this before continuing reading. It seemed odd that they had a relationship before the story even started. But I loved it and was hooked before I finished the first page.

Jana Garner is just as amazing of a character. I absolutely love how strong she is. She speaks her mind, holds her own, isn’t afraid to push for what she wants, and just never gives up. Yet, she has this soft side, this side that is begging for someone to sweep in and take care of her. Hunter is applying for that job of caretaker, lover, supporter, and #1 man.

Of course, my favorite part of this book is the friendships. The women of Seaside are amazing. They love with their whole hearts, protect what and who is theirs, laugh, smile, and are just the best. They accept new comers to their group without question. Even now with babies and hubbies thrown into the mix they still have time to chunky-dunk and just be together.

Let me introduce Hunter Lacroux to you.

Seaside Embrace was a sweet and steamy story that was so easy to enjoy. Having read all the other seaside books, it was nice to catch up with the characters again.

But the stars of this show were Hunter and Jana. Both of these characters were very similar on their feelings on relationships and dating and yet were so different in their reasons. Those differences are pretty much what made this story. How they worked and grew together past their emotional baggage to find a future together.

Overall these were good characters in a good storyline and a great ending. I never hesitate to pickup a Melissa Foster book and this one is a great addition to her enjoyable work.

Narrator BJ Harrison came back for this story and I still don't have any complaints about his voice. I think the only thing that gave me pause was with there being Jenna from a previous book, and Jana being talked about in this one. Their names sounded very similar so I sometimes had to double check or rewind to see who was being talked about. But that was a really minor thing.

I still look forward to whatever is up next from this fantastic author.

Melissa has written the most emotional, fun story yet! B. J. Harrison narrates this and he is fantastic!
Jana Garner was a boxer, dance instructor, and waitress with a stubborn streak. She has some bad past experiences from her past boyfriends, now she has big problems with committing. Hunter Lacrouz creates metal sculptures and his past has not been rosie. When he hooked up with Jana, he was ready to commit to only her. The only problem was Jana didn't believe him and put him through hell. Can they get things straighten out? A must listen!

Emotional and Fun!
