Dreaming at Seaside

Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summer, Book 2

De: Addison Cole

Narrado por: Melissa Moran

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 by Addison Cole is the sweet edition of New York Times best-selling author Melissa Foster's steamy romance novel Seaside Dreams. The stories and characters remain the same, and convey all of the passion you expect between two people in love, without any explicit scenes or harsh language.

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 14-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 14 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?

LOVE

There are absolutely no other couple like Caden and Bella.... He is a cop and she is a teacher, and prankster extraordinaire.
You could never ever put a better couple together in my opinion .
I love this Narrator Melissa Moran...she does Bella so well, you would think she actually was Bella.

I love hearing the emotions instead of reading

One of my favorite things about listening to books rather than reading them is the fact that you get the true feelings behind the words. When reading it is left to the reader to interpret the meaning behind the words, there is nothing wrong with this there is just different ways to interpret. While listening to the book you can the tone, the context, and the voice of the character so I sometimes get a different perspective on the story and what the characters true feelings are. Melissa Moran is talented at being able to take Addison Cole’s written words and bring the characters to life. Her tone, her speed, and her changes in voices make the story so real that many times I get lost in the story and end up listening to more than I really had time for.

Have you ever read a book that is part of a series and wonder what will happen to the secondary characters? That is what happened 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 in 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.

Dreaming at Seaside

Dreaming at Seaside is the second book in the second book in Addison Cole's Seaside Summer Book series. First off, listening to the audiobook, I liked that the narrator (who is the same narrator from the first book) did a great job of making each of the female friends have a distinctive voice and that she also kept that same distinction in this second book from the first book. I've listened to books that have not dine this when using the same narrator. So right off the bat, I appreciated what Melissa Moran was able to do with the narration.

Now, the story. I loved Bella's story. The idea of starting over and being able to live your "Dream" is an ideal situation for many people. Unfortunately, some people don't get that opportunity. I thought Addison Cole did a great job of showing how scary and difficult it can be to upend you life. But how, in the end if it truly is your dream, it's definitely worth it.

Also, I think the father / son relationship between Caden and Evan is one of the best dipictions of a parent dealing with a teenager that I've ever read (listened to). It felt very real and displayed many real-life worries that every parent faces as their child grows.

Bella and Caden together were great, but I liked that their relationship didn't influence their individuality except for the fact that they're better together than apart.

While I enjoyed the first book, I think that this second book surpassed it. i loved again seeing the female friendships and I look forward to getting the other two women's stories in upcoming books.

Wonderful, Sweet, Clean, Love Story!

This book was so much fun to read! Bella left her job to start over in Cape Cod where she spend her Summer's growing up. Cade is a police officer and single dad who saw is friend and partner get shot and killed and decided he has to move for his sons sake. This book is so delightful, I laughed so much, a charming, clean love story. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series so I can check in and see what's happening with the characters ! I also listened to the audible and hustled loved it!
