Bayside Romance (Bayside Summers Book 5) Kindle Edition
In Bayside Romance
When screenwriter Harper Garner got a shot at the big-time in LA, she celebrated her brave cross-country move with her first and only one-night stand—connecting so deeply with the sexy, brilliant man, she broke the number-one rule of one-night stands and left her phone number. Not hearing from him was only the first in a long line of hope-shattering, confidence-busting blows. Ten months later, Harper is done with men and done with LA. She pulls up her big-girl panties and heads home to Cape Cod to start over.
On the surface, interior designer Gavin Wheeler has it all: a successful business, a loving family, and a close-knit group of friends. But Gavin once endured a heartbreak so painful, he was sure he'd never feel anything for a woman again. A chance encounter at a music festival with a gorgeous, down-to-earth blonde proved him wrong, but when morning came, the woman who made him crave more was gone.
A serendipitous evening reunites Harper with her devastatingly delicious one-night stand, and the connection is just as intense as she remembered. Harper's life is too unsettled for a relationship, but Gavin is determined to help her find her way, especially if it leads straight to his heart. Moonlight conversations lead to steamy kisses, and as romance blooms, it stirs a love too real to deny. But when Gavin's past collides with the life they're building, it has the power to ruin everything.

Gavin and Harper, or Parker, actually met at a music festival in Virginia right before she left for LA. They were suppose to be a one night stand, but it was so much more! Harper left the next morning without saying goodbye. This kinda devastated Gavin and he didn’t know she had left her number in one of his suitcase pouches.
They meet again when Harper comes back to the Cape almost a year later. She thinks he wasn’t interested since he didn’t call. And he had no idea she had left her number. Gavin isn’t going to lose her again, so he decides to slowly show her why they’d be good together.
Harper has come back to the Cape because things went badly in LA and she’s lost her confidence. Gavin knows what that’s like, so he decides to help her find it. Watching their relationship grow was simply amazing!! I can’t think of two characters that were meant to be together more then these two!!
It was wonderful to revisit with all the gang! And to meet new characters in Gavin’s family, Harvey, Tegan, and Jock.
Loving this series so much and I highly recommend it to everyone!!!!
Gavin came back into Harper's life at precisely the right time, although she wants to stay away from the guys for a little while as she tries to get her life back on track and find her footing. What Gavin, does, however, is give her the nudge forward and the support that she needs at precisely the time that she needs it so she can figure out what she wants to do moving forward. In the end, the two of them are a great pair. Melissa Foster always writes romances that just leave you feeling good. Warm hearts, strong connections, hot times, and not a lot of drama or angst. It is just a wonderful, heartwarming story of two people falling in love and getting their happily ever after.
Savannah Peachwood and Jacob Morgan are spot-on narrators for this book, They really both bring a lot of emotion and feeling to the story and embody the characters so well.

There are parts I laughed at, smiled through, cried tears of sadness and tears of joy. This book is definitely added to my favourite read list.
This book also brings together others from the 'Foster' book family who have had their stories told in the Seaside Summers series. So if you are a fan of the author's writing you may recognise some familiar faces.
One of Foster's strengths, which I admire, is her 'family tree' style book chains which have interlinking characters. The reader gets to re-meet 'book friends' or 'book crushes', when they become secondary characters in new stories.
This story, set on America's east coast, is about Gavin and Harper; a couple who met at a music festival and had a one night stand. A year later and both their lives have changed. Harper is feeling defeated after the show she wrote for in LA was dropped, while Gavin is thrilled to see the girl he's been dreaming about again, but she isn't ready for a new boyfriend.
This story had the elements of a sweet romance laced with Foster's familiar level of romantic heat. The couple both had flaws, but the story didn't feel as complex as some of the other books in this series.
Harper character is great full of life and loves everything and everyone.
Gavin has secrets but can Harper get past his mistakes.
