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 romance novels featuring fiercely loyal heroes and sassy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, and easy to relate to.

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, it’s 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?

Sweet with Heat books are the sweet editions of the Love in Bloom steamy romance novels by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster, written under her sweet-romance pen name, Addison Cole. Sweet with Heat books are significantly the same story as the steamy editions and convey all of the passion you expect between two people in love, without any explicit scenes or harsh language.

Drake and Serena have been friends for so long and may have been attracted to one another for just as long. But Drake has a job he loves and isn't interested in moving. Meanwhile Serena has big dream and making a name for herself working in a high profile interior design firm which means moving out to Boston and everything she loves. But as her moving date looms closer that attraction between friends seem to make these two friends more open about their true feelings.

I loved this book so much it was worth a reread. If you love clean reads as much as I do I think you readers are gonna love this book. I loved that even thought there are no dirty scenes that this book does push boundaries without getting into details. As for the book I am a sucker for friends to more relationships. There was time that built their relationship which made Drake and Serena romance even sweeter. I loved seeing their friend relationship forming into something more between these two. I loved that they just didn't jump into a relationship there was a back bone to it. I thought it was interesting seeing Drakes side of things of why he waited so long to even out his feelings and how they handled the long distance relationship. I loved seeing the conflict on Serenas side why she was pushing so hard for bigger better things and how she was handling the new job along with a boyfriend so far. Overall this was a pretty great book I really enjoyed it!
