Genre: Contemporary Romance

About BAYSIDE FANTASIES:

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

  In BAYSIDE FANTASIES... Tegan Fine has never had a plan—life, business, or otherwise. But she’s always had goals—to laugh daily and to pay it forward as often as she is able, just like her favorite uncle always did. After inheriting her great-uncle’s amphitheater, Tegan makes a risky move to a charming small town on Cape Cod to carry on her uncle’s legacy and hopefully expand the business with her new friend, Harper. Unfortunately, those goals aren’t doing much to help her plan a business strategy for her new endeavor. With Harper counting on her and her uncle’s legacy at stake, she swears off all distractions, determined to succeed. If only she could stop bumping into a certain arrogant, witty, and excruciatingly hot businessman who tweaks her nerves and invades her every thought. Including her late-night fantasies. Self-professed workaholic Jett Masters never slows down. He lives life with no attachments—except to his clients, to whom he gives his all. A reluctant trip to his hometown has him itching to shake the ghosts of his past and get back to spinning deals and adding to his investments. But when he comes face-to-face with a gorgeous, handsy woman who is quite possibly the snarkiest and most disorganized person he’s ever met, sparks fly, and his sharp mind stumbles. He doesn’t even know her name, but he can’t get her out of his mind. A chance encounter turns into a wild, sexy night, and their chemistry is off the charts—even if their ideals, and their lives, are worlds apart. Neither Jett nor Tegan is looking for more. Becoming friends with benefits seems like the perfect solution. But when they are trapped together in torrential weather, they work side by side in the aftermath, and every passionate kiss deepens their connection. Secrets are shared, trust is built, and no promises dare be made. As their lives move on, lines begin to blur, hearts get hurt, and their true selves come into focus. Tegan and Jett are left wondering if they make the perfect storm, or if they’ve reached the end of their bayside fantasy.

Review:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Bayside Fantasies is the sixth book in the Bayside Summers series by Melissa Foster. The main characters are Tegan, our heroine, who has recently moved to her dead uncle's house and is trying to sort things out while also helping her friend Harper (yes, the heroine of the 5th book) and Jett, Dean's brother from Bayside passions (book #2), a workaholic with daddy issues. 

I liked the antithesis of our two main characters. Tegan had a very close and loving relationship with her uncle and you could easily see that from her words when she was talking about him. Jett, on the other hand, had a bad relationship with his father and while it was justified, I didn't like the way it made him act in present time. He was not able to let it go and it was affecting every single relationship he had with his family and in a romantic way. I guess that doesn't matter much in the end since it only made Jett's character development more very prominent. 

If someone told me to sum this book up in one sentence, I would go for something like this " Jett's journey to overcome his demons and letting go of his past with Tegan's help". That doesn't mean though, that Tegan is hidden from the spotlight. She has an equal amount of times where she shines. Jett and Tegan are one of my favorite couples Melissa Foster has ever written. 

I was a little hesitant, given some of my past experience with the series, to read the book and honestly half the time I was expecting for the other shoe to drop. I enjoyed this book very much and I loved how everything went down. The story had some moments where things could have gotten bad with over the top drama or just toxic and I was very glad to see that my fears never became real. Jett might have his issues, but he is a smart man and he handled a certain situation(s) just as he should have. There is no doubt in my mind when I say that I would recommend the book. 

On a final note, I would like to add that many (if not all) characters from the previous books appear in this one and it might be a little confusing or overwhelming to new-to-the-series-readers. Also, the author managed to tease us about two of her upcoming books in this story and I am planning on reading both of them because both stories seemed very interesting.
