BOOK SUMMARY

You fell in love with Blue Ryder and Lizzie Barber in Seaside Summers, now follow their journey to find true love in SEIZED BY LOVE, the first book in the Ryder series.

Lizzie Barber runs a successful flower shop by day and secretly hosts the Naked Baker webcast at night to help pay for her younger sister’s education. To keep friends and family from finding out about her sexy secret, she’s put her social life on hold until her sister’s education is paid off and she can stop filming the webcast.

Blue Ryder fell hard for Lizzie Barber when he met her a year ago, and he hasn’t been able to get her off his mind since. Everything about the feisty little brunette, from her tight bod to her seductive smile, cuts straight to his heart. Though Lizzie has turned down every invitation he’s extended—Blue is not about to give up trying.

Renovating Lizzie’s kitchen brings Blue further into Lizzie’s life, and the oven is not the only thing heating up. One night and one powerful kiss changes everything. But when Lizzie’s secret is revealed and the safe bubble she’s hidden in shatters, true love may not be enough to put the pieces back together.

THE RYDERS are the newest addition to the LOVE IN BLOOM series by New York Times & USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. This 5-book hot contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to readers who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction.

CAT'S REVIEW

"Seized by Love" by Melissa Foster.  This is the start of a new series by Ms. Foster - a spinoff from her previous Love in Bloom series.  I'm very happy and excited that Ms. Foster has chosen this path!  I truly enjoyed this story.  Lizzie and Blue are wonderful together.  Blue is simply scrumptious - he's just such a great guy!  He's exactly what any girl would want in her man!  Lizzie, while I liked her a lot - some of her choices didn't sit too well with me.  I'm not a huge fan of the keeping a secret plot.  While I understand her choice and it was an honorable one, her choice to keep the secret from Blue wasn't.   However, Ms. Foster does a great job of bringing everything to a head and having the couple go through, not just good times, but some rough too.  I've read many of Ms. Foster's works and she continues to write stories that keep the reader involved and intrigued.  If you're a fan of contemporary romance that has some ups and downs and some fun, laughs and love, con't miss this one!  (received copy for honest review)

BOOK SUMMARY

Tony Black is the hottest surfer on the planet. He travels the world throughout the year and spends his summers on Cape Cod with his friends, at the Seaside cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He’s got his choice of women, but Amy Maples is the one he wants. Fourteen years ago she was his for an entire summer, until a devastating accident changed everything, and what they had seemed like it had never existed—at least for her.

Amy Maples is as consistent as the day is long. She’s spent summers on Cape Cod forever, she always does the right thing, and she’s spent years trying to reclaim the heart of Tony Black, the only man she’s ever loved. She’s back for a summer of fun with her friends at Seaside, only this year she’s been offered the opportunity of a lifetime thousands of miles away, and she’s decided to try one last time to reconnect with Tony. But having a relationship with Tony means dealing with her past—and dealing with her past may knock her to her knees.

CAT'S REVIEW

"Seaside Secrets" by Melissa Foster.  This is the 4th book of the Seaside Summers Series.  I haven't read the other books but, although it was evident I had missed out on the other character's stories, it didn't impact this story, at least that I could tell.  Now on to the story...
Tony and Amy have known and loved each other forever but, unfortunately, a tragic event in their past forced them apart.  Tony, a professional surfer, is the epitome of just that - sexy, strong body and super protective and caring, especially when it comes to Amy.  Amy, although described as sweet over and over throughout the book, came across as selfish and immature to me.  She annoyed and aggravated me more often than not throughout the book.  Now, she's not a bad person but her choices in dealing with issues that affected others came across as selfish as she only thought of herself and her pain.  As the story progressed, Amy did redeem herself in my eyes a bit and I was relieved to like her more by the end.   Honestly, I found both main characters (and the secondary ones too) all a bit immature.  For a group all in their thirties, I often forgot that and believed them to be in early to mid-twenties, based on some of their behaviors and conversations.  I did like the story of two lost loves finding themselves again.  There is heartache, love, romance, and laughter.  It's a wonderful bond this group of friends have and that they all love each other like family.   I would like to read the first three books of the series to learn the stories of the others as I got to know them a bit in this one.  I have enjoyed Ms. Foster's stories before (although have not read any of this series) and do look forward to reading more by her in the future.   (received copy for honest review)
