Seaside Dreams by Melissa Foster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This review is on behalf of BrookCottage Books. It is #21 in the Love In Bloom Series and #1 of the Seaside Summers series.

Bella Abbadscia is one of the seaside cottage residents of Wellfleet, near Cape Cod. For as long as she can remember she has spent every summer here with her best friends who include, Amy, Jenna and Leanne. Weeks spent in the sun, beside the pool or at the beach, with BBQ’s and nights under the stars, a great way to spend some chill time with friends.

Caden Grant is a single Dad, a cop and he’s just moved to the Wellfleet area from Boston. Having recently lost his work partner he felt he needed to take himself away from the dangers of police work so that he would always be there for his son Evan.

Caden first sets eyes on Bella when he’s on night patrol and comes across several scantily dressed females at the cottages in the middle of a prank. There is an instant spark between them, which neither is prepared for. Bella has sworn herself off men to concentrate on setting up a work-study youth program, whilst Caden’s devotion is to his son and no one else.

I enjoyed the build up of their relationship, the not-a-date was fun and Caden’s son Evan brought a new aspect to the storyline. There was some great advice on the upbringing of teenagers which many parents could do with, but it added to the story rather than deflecting away from it. With a hot man in a uniform who brings out the feminine side in Bella and the back drop of some summer love, what is there not to love about this book?
