About this ebook

Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers features a group of fun, flirty, and emotional friends who gather each summer at their Cape Cod cottages. They're sassy, flawed, and so easy to relate to, you'll be begging to enter their circle of friends!


Dreaming at Seaside is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a spicier romance, pick up the steamy edition, Seaside Dreams, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole is Melissa's sweet-romance pen name.


In DREAMING at SEASIDE...

Bella Abbascia has returned to Seaside Cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, as she does every summer. Only this year, Bella has more on her mind than sunbathing and skinny-dipping with her girlfriends. She's quit her job, put her house on the market, and sworn off relationships while she builds a new life in her favorite place on earth. That is, until good-time Bella's prank takes a bad turn and a handsome police officer appears on the scene.


Single father and police officer Caden Grant left Boston with his fourteen-year-old son, Evan, after his partner was killed in the line of duty. He hopes to find a safer life in the small resort town of Wellfleet, and when he meets Bella during a night patrol shift, he realizes he's found the one thing he'd never allowed himself to hope for or even realized he was missing.


After fourteen years of focusing solely on his son, Caden cannot resist the intense attraction he feels toward beautiful Bella, and Bella's powerless to fight the heat of their budding romance. But starting over proves more difficult than either of them imagined, and when Evan gets mixed up with the wrong kids, Caden's loyalty is put to the test. Will he give up everything to protect his son even Bella?

We're back at the Seaside Cottages for another summer but it seems that something has changed. Bella has made some drastic changes in her life and she's decided to restart her life living full time in her cottage and swearing off men until she gets her life together. Well that was the plan, then Officer Caden Grant enters her life as a prank goes bad and nothing is the same. This is a wonderful sweet clean read that is full of passion, love, and life. I recommend this one.

In Dreaming at Seaside, you are hearing the romantic story of the wild and carefree Bella (One of 4 Best Girlfriends - The Seaside Girls, who summers at The Cape. She is a High School Teacher for the rest of the year, but is thinking of a career change and moving to The Cape area year-round.) Come read about a maybe-romance between Bella and a new to the area Police Officer Caden, when she is literally caught with her pants down (Or OFF!) Caden moved to The Cape area with his 15 year old son Evan. He left Boston after he lost his Best Friend and Partner George when he was shot and killed in the line of duty. His 1st case is to solve the cottage and vehicle break-ins that have just started happening around there. Can they make it work? Can they help Evan find the right kind of friends in this new place? Will Bella go back to teaching or will her new career idea work out? Come Seaside and See. This is a mostly clean but suggestive romance. The sex pretty much ends as the door closes, besides a few mild foreplay sessions. I'd say in my opinion, it is a 1.5 - 2 on a heat scale of 5. 2nd-in-series, 5-stars, arc, contemporary-romance, funny, hea, romance, small-town I was given an ARC copy from Beck Valley Book Tours to voluntarily Read & Review, If I chose to do so. I was not compensated for this review, nor was I required to write a positive review. These are my thoughts and opinions on this book.

Have you ever read a book that is part of a series and wonder what will happen to the secondary characters? That is what happen when I read Read, Write, Love. I wanted to know if the rest of the Seaside Girls would find their happy endings just like Leanna did with Kurt. Dreaming at Seaside is Bella’s story. Well, Bella and Caden’s story. Wild, crazy, trickster Bella is swearing off relationships until she gets her life in order. Then one night of being found outside by new local police officer Caden Grant brings sparks to her life. Even swearing off relationships cannot detour the feelings that are between her and Caden. My favorite part is how Caden is just accepted into the folds of the Seaside girls. Instantly Caden is included in their plans, welcome into their lives, and expected to put up with the shenanigans these ladies led by Bella pull. I loved how with every thought Evan, Caden’s son, is included into Bella’s world. She includes him in their date times, their quiet times, and their fun times. Not every woman would be welcome to a teenage boy coming into her life and not only does she accept Evan but she loves him and wants him in her life. Addison Cole has written a fun, sexy, sweet, and a tad of heat story that cannot be put down. I recommend picking up your own copy asap and reading this entire series. I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own
