Seaside Embrace: Hunter Lacroux

Love in Bloom: Seaside Summers

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

After working hard all day, creating his beautiful metal sculptures, sinfully sexy Hunter Lacroux likes to unwind with a hot, sexy babe - or two. But after spending a handful of naughty nights with seductive and beautiful Jana Garner, the woman who challenges everything he does and says, Hunter wants more.

As a dancer, boxer, actress, and waitress, Jana is tough, organized, and as dedicated as she is committed. She has to be to maintain her crazy schedule. But when it comes to men, Jana's had a string of bad relationships, and there's only thing she'll commit to - not committing.

White-hot passion ignites every time Jana and Hunter are together, but the closer Hunter gets, the faster Jana runs. When Hunter lays on the charm, Jana throws out a challenge she's sure he can't meet, and Hunter steps up to the plate, forcing her to face her hurtful past or let go of him forever.

Loved It

I love returning to the Seaside Gang. Jana is a strong woman. Hunter is a sexy heck. They were secretly hooking up for 6 months. They were actually committed to each other, however, neither one knew it. Melissa NEVER disappoints. I listened to the audio book and BJ Harrison does a fantastic job narrating.

Love Hunter and Jana ❤️

Hunter and Jana both avoid relationships, but have been hooking up with only each other for months.  They are great in bed but always yell and argue with each other. I enjoyed watching their relationship bloom over time.  Hunter is a very sweet, sexy guy and really wanted to turn his playboy ways around, but Jana was really afraid.  This is a very fun, romantic story and you will enjoy all the usually friends and family that get together in Seaside and have so much fun together.  B.J.’s narration was great and I am looking forward to listening to the next book in this series.

Hunter!

Melissa Foster has done it again in writing a fantastic story. I love how she has created a group of characters that have depth, passion, friendships, and feel good moments. The humor she injects in the books is also great. The chemistry between characters is sizzling. I loved Hunter and Jana in this book. BJ Harrison is amazing bringing the characters to life. He adds the right inflections to his voice. The underlying message of overcoming insecurities and trusting oneself is poignant. This is an awesome listen.

Loved these characters!

I've listened to a lot of audio books written by Melissa Foster, but she surprised me a bit with this one. The beginning was certainly different. The characters of Jana and Hunter were sexual at the very beginning--with no romance in sight! What??? In a Melissa Foster book? Seriously?
Neither Jana nor Hunter is looking for a relationship...just a occasional sex. But then Jana isn't much into going after her dreams. She's too busy. When Hunter can't even get Jana to say that she wants him and she tells him he doesn't know anything about romance, Hunter takes it as a challenge. What starts as a challenge just to get her to admit she wants him soon turns into way more. Will they both ever admit that they want and maybe already have more?
The narration by B.J. Harrison was great as always!

Irresistible relationship

I originally read this story when it was first released in print, but I was so excited to listen to it as well! Jana and Hunter are both independent, passionate people that “don’t do relationships”. Both are very dedicated to their work as well. They get together occasionally but without strings attached. When they are together sparks ignite. As time goes by, it gets harder for these two to not feel attached. Hunter begins to realize he wants more, but will Jana stick around or run? I really enjoyed the interactions between these two characters. It was also great to catch up with the rest of the Seaside gang!

Loved it!

Seaside Embrace is the sixth book in the Seaside Summers series. Jana and Hunter really are meant to be together. But will they see it that way? I loved their story, and I enjoyed listening to the narrator. I highly recommend this book. 

Hunter & Jana

Take me to Cape Cod for the summer! I love these books and the community Melissa Foster has created for me to escape with! It's like I am one of the bunch and get to enjoy all the relationships that are being built. Hunter and Jana have been sleeping together for the last year. Agreeing they do not want a relationship, they enjoy each other. But something has changed and Hunter is on a mission to win Jana over. Will he be able to? Does he know what romance is? Will she see his love? Talk about romance, Hunter had me from the very beginning. He is quite the man and he knows what he needs to do. There were periods that Jana frustrated me, but that just makes the story that much better. A little conflict goes a long way for these two to find their happiness. I also love seeing everyone else. From the happy couples to those with marriage problems, we live realistic issues with this community and I love how Foster compassionately handles it. Another amazing listen.

BJ Harrison continues his narration of the series. I love this because not only is he a good narrator, but he is consistent between books, making the series amazing. He enhances the listens and leaves me happy and satisfied!

Let me introduce Hunter Lacroux to you.

Once again BJ Harrison did a wonderful job sharing Melissa Foster's story with the listeners. As the narrator, BJ, does a gret job changing his voice, his tone, his cadence, and sending the characters feelings through the words. I could recognize which character was speaking just by the tone of his voice. The feelings each character was easy to pick up on and added so much to the listening of Seaside Embrace.

Oh My Gosh!!! Let me introduce you to Hunter Lacroux. Woo Wee… talk about steamy, sex, hot! He is all that and more. While he is a tough man on the outside he has the biggest, purest, sweetest (he’d hate that) heart of any of the Love in Bloom men. That says a lot because there are a lot of amazing men in this series. A few of them I have claimed as my own book crush but Hunter is the top dog(he’d love that).

Seaside Embrace starts a little different than the rest of this series as that the characters are already in a hot steamy relationship, well not a relationship that they would admit to, but a bed buddies relationship. This threw me for a loop. I had to stop and think about this before continuing reading. It seemed odd that they had a relationship before the story even started. But I loved it and was hooked before I finished the first page.

Jana Garner is just as amazing of a character. I absolutely love how strong she is. She speaks her mind, holds her own, isn’t afraid to push for what she wants, and just never gives up. Yet, she has this soft side, this side that is begging for someone to sweep in and take care of her. Hunter is applying for that job of caretaker, lover, supporter, and #1 man.

Of course, my favorite part of this book is the friendships. The women of Seaside are amazing. They love with their whole hearts, protect what and who is theirs, laugh, smile, and are just the best. They accept new comers to their group without question. Even now with babies and hubbies thrown into the mix they still have time to chunky-dunk and just be together.

Sinfully romantic

This audiobook pulled me right from the start. I love stories like this because it you can't pull me right at the start then i get bored fast. But this story by Melissa Foster was great right from the beginning. Right off the bat Hunter Lacroux and Jana Garner have a fun and pleasing night together. They have both been hooking up for a while with no strings attached. They fight constantly during the day and make up just as intense in the bedroom. Hunter has never been serious about anyone and Jana prefers to have her fun. Hunter starts having more feelings that he doesn't recognize but while he spends more time with Jana he realizes he wants more than their hookups. Can he romance Jana into giving their hookups something more meaningful? Only time and romance will tell. B.J. Harrison was the narrator and he was on point with the characters and pulling us into his narration. This is a must listen to audiobook.

I want to listen all over again!

Hunter Lacroux and Jana Garner have intense chemistry. They hooked up a few times but neither has spoken about it. But as they continue to be with each other Hunter wants more. He wants to date Jana. But does Jana want a relationship? They are both independent and headstrong people. Their paths seem to cross frequently as they share a circle of friends. Jana is plotting the course of her life with help from her friends at Seaside. Hunter is so supportive but something is holding Jana back. Melissa Foster tells this delightful story that exudes passion. The narration by BJ Harrison made me feel as though I was eavesdropping while following Jana and Hunter as they discovered their true feelings. Love how he changes his voice for different characters. Five stars for both author and narrator of Seaside Embrace.
