Bayside Escape

Bayside Summers, Book 4

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: Devra Woodward, Aiden Snow

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, always passionate, and easy to relate to.

Hold on to your hat for Violet's wildly hot love story! Lizza is up to her old tricks again, and Violet is in for the surprise of a lifetime!

Two years ago Violet Vancroft was a nomadic artist who never wanted to put down roots, and Andre Shaw was a prominent Boston physician whose roots ran too deep to unearth. Their love didn't stand a chance - or at least that's what Violet believed when she received a plea for help from the sister she'd never really known - so she snuck away like a thief in the night.

Now Andre travels the world setting up new medical clinics, and Violet has finally found the family she'd always craved and the roots she'd never known she wanted. When their paths cross unexpectedly, it's not the reunion either one imagined. But they've never stopped loving each other, and after the dust of anger and hurt settles, passion ignites even hotter than before. As the end to Andre's time at the Cape nears, reality sets in, leaving them no closer to a future than they were before. Violet and Andre are forced to dig deep to discover if they're destined to live apart forever or if true love really can conquer all.

Bayside Summers is part of the Love in Bloom romance collection by New York Times and USA Today best-selling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. While each book may be listened to as a stand-alone, you might enjoy the entire Love in Bloom series. Characters from each sub-series appear in future books. Visit Melissa's website for family trees, series checklists, and more.

Binge listen the rest of the Love in Bloom series. Filled with heat, humor, and heart - and always a happily ever after - these steamy romances are perfect beach listens!

Outstanding!

Melissa has brought us another outstanding story of Cape Cod. The Narrators were amazing! Deva and Aiden captured every emotions with their voices.
Violet was taken away from her sister and step-father by her mother Lizza and taken to different places in the world. She met Andre at one of the places, who was a prominent Doctor and she fell in love. Andre fell in love with her also. She got a message from her mother telling her that her sister was in danger of dying, so she left Andre without a word and went without telling him a thing. She searched for her for two years. Her mother brought Andre to her sisters wedding and Violet thought he was her mothers lover. The hurt settled in Violet's heart. They both tried to replace each other during that time and couldn't. Then the fireworks exploded. I loved it!

My Thoughts on Bayside Escape

Finally, Violet's story is here and it's so much better than I could have imagined. She was always this tough woman with a hard exterior. And I thought I understood why but this story showed me I didn't even know the half of it. She had so much more emotional depth to her than I thought and it was truly great to see.

I loved that this storyline didn't end where I expected. In fact, what I thought would have been the end, and may have been in other books or with other authors, was barely half the story. I think that was in part because it was about more than just two people finding love. That definitely happened, but two sisters also came to know each other more, even when it was hard. And friends were recognized as family that can give you roots. It was about understanding and excepting love and family in many different forms.

What also helped me love this story so much was the amazing narration. Devra Woodward and Aiden Snow did a fantastic job. Devra was new for me, but I certainly want more from her. Aiden is one I knew I enjoyed from previous audiobooks but this was another perfect example of his talent.

I look forward to more in this series and these narrators in future.

Great story

Andre has taken a friends advise and went to the Cape. He needed to get his mind off Violet. Little did he know he was going to come face to face with her at her sisters wedding. In seeing Andre for the first time in years, Violet thought he and Lizzie were dating. Violet is one bad a@s chick with an amazing heart and a lot of secrets. As always Melissa makes you laugh and cry. Oh boy did I cry when Violet and Deseriee had their talk. Such a great second chance love story. I loved watching them reconnect.
I love listening to books while I drive back and forth to work. It makes the traffic bearable. I love the narration of Aiden Snow and Devra Woodward.

chemistry, secrets, tears, chocies

The chemistry between Violet and Andre keeps you in the story. How could he be with her and show up to a wedding with her mother? The journey back to a second chance with the one that got away will make you a believer that true love exist out there somewhere. These two had that chance to cement their romance over time, space, and a foreign country. Something had her run and left him heart broken. Just because she ran did not mean she was not invested in the romance they had.

Love. True love can span time. It can keep your heart true and open all at the same time. Its the kind of love that you want to help you through the hard times of life. It helps you keep your eyes on the prize. Clearing up old hurts and opening up the door to more was just what Andre and Violet (Daisy) needed to have the second chance at making their love so much more than the first time allowed.

Violet finds exactly what she has wanted all her life but once thing changes the course of her life and the direction of her future. Andre was not looking for a love to turn his world around but he found that with Violet. Torn apart by circumstance they both find a chance to reunited and make that love of theirs burn.

Sweet Escape was sweet, endearing, touching. There were tears all around. There were truths discovered. Secrets were shared. Family was more than just blood. Friendships expanded. Melissa Foster knows how to open up a story and invite you to meet new characters and want to know more about them. I look forward to meeting all the new faces (Wicked brothers) meet this time around.

Narration by Devra Woodward and Aiden Snow was spot on. Aiden always brings the goods and make the males sound hot and sexy while still keeping the characters clear. Devra brought me clear and concise female voices and gave a distinction to the males. Hold on tight this one will have you needing some tissue and someone to hug.

second chance love

I love Violet!! I have been waiting for her story!! It was worth the wait!! We get to see who she really is! Thank you Melissa Foster for another great book!!!

Good book!

This forth installment of this series did not disappoint with Violet and Andre's story. Theirs was a tale of second chance love as the when reunited in an unexpected turn of events, the pair had chemistry that was off the charts. Both Violet and Andre were strong characters that had many issues that they managed to work through but it was nice to see the inner Violet making me see that she was completely different than she wanted others to see. I liked the return of the characters from the previous books in this series as well as the turns this story took to get Violet and Andre their HEA.
The audio version of this book was performed by both Aiden Snow and Derva Woodward. The pair performed the story well making it an enjoyable listening experience. They both did well differentiating between the different characters as well as bringing Violet and Andre's story to life.
I look forward to seeing where this series will go next and would recommend this book others.

Loved it!

I listened to the audio version of this book.
Ms. Foster just keeps writing better and better books. I love the greater background and greater depth to these characters. This is a second chance trope story of Violet and Andre.
What is the worst thing that could happen involving a guy you loved and left behind. Maybe having him show up at your sister's wedding as your mother's date? Yeah, it doesn't get too much worse than that. It does make it even a tad bit worse if you're not crazy about your mother to start with.
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I loved the relationship that rekindled between Violet and Andre and being the audience to how they came to trust each other again. Love is in the air!
I was given a complimentary copy of this audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

Wonderful Story

I instantly fell in love with this book, it was absolutley wonderful. Violet comes off with a tough exterior to her family and friends, a complete badass. No one knows the real Violet except one man. It shocks Violet when that one man shows up at her sisters wedding. Andre knows the real Violet and helps Violet expose herself to her family and friends. I love how Violent never holds back and always says what is on her mind. She keeps you on your ties. Bayside Escapes is a sweet, hot and fun romance. You will instantly fall in love with Violet, Andrew and all of the characters at Bayside
Devra Woodward and Aiden Snow do a wonderful job narrating the audio version of this story. They are an enjoy to listen to.

Spicy and heart warming!

Desiree and Violet have felt like they raised themselves since they were young, because they basically did. Their mother was flighty and never around when they needed her. Years later, Violet, the bad girl sister who wears motorcycle gear and acts like nothing bothers her is put through a test when her lost love Andre shows up from out of the blue with non-other than her MOTHER! This story was about reconnecting and sharing our vulnerabilities with those you love. It took Violet another possible heartbreak to understand where she went wrong with Andre, but they were able to get it all back AND MORE! it's hot, hot, hot! The audio was great, I really enjoyed both voice and they brought the story to life for me.

Sweet and Heartwarming!

This is the fourth book in the Bayside Summers Series, a small town romance. This is my favorite in the series. Violet and Andre's story is beautifully written, and heartwarming. This is a great second chance to love. Violet is a beautiful and complex character. Andre is very handsome, and supportive. They are perfect together. The supporting characters are great, and I loved to see again the characters from the first books. Outstanding narration from Devra Woodward and Aiden Snow. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more in the series.
