LOVERS AT SEASIDE
Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #9
Addison Cole
Releasing May 9, 2018
After
months of long-distance communication, actress Parker Collins and artist
Grayson Lacroux finally plan to reconnect in the seaside town of Wellfleet,
Massachusetts. But Parker never shows, and weeks pass without a word, leaving
Grayson to believe he’s misinterpreted their budding relationship.
Parker has
been running on autopilot ever since she lost her friend, mentor, and the only
family she’s ever known, Bert Stein. Armed with junk food, tequila, and her
big, lovable dog, she’s prepared to hole up and mourn—and determined to mend a
fence Bert had never been able to with his estranged and bitter brother. But
Parker didn’t count on the handsome artist she’s been fantasizing about for
nearly a year walking in on her grief-induced drunken night.
When Grayson
stumbles across Parker, he has no idea what to make of the gorgeous blonde who
blew him off despite the chemistry between them. But that doesn’t stop him from
feeling protective of the woman who’s consumed his thoughts for months, and
when he learns of Parker’s plans to confront an angry old man, he refuses to
leave her side. As Parker’s past unfolds, they’re led on an unexpected journey
of discovery. Their connection deepens, until good intentions spark painful
secrets, threatening the love they’ve found.

Lovers at Seaside focusses on loss and new beginnings. I feel that these deeply emotional and personal subjects set this novel apart from the other books in this series. The exceptional characters and their journey captivated me from the first page of the novel!!
Actress Parker Collins is grief stricken. Her friend Bert passed while she was away filming in Italy. She’s devastated because she has lost her best friend, mentor and the only family she’d known. Parker grabs her dog and retreats to her home in Wellfleet, Mass. I could relate to Parker’s sense of loss and her need to meet Bert’s brother and mend fences.
At first I wasn’t sure if Grayson was the man that Parker needed. They seemed almost too opposite. Grayson works for Parker’s foundation and they emailed each other regularly. Grayson is taken back when he realizes Parker has not shared a lot of personal details with him. Grayson feels very protective of Parker and he senses that she needs to grieve for her friend and needs a safe place to heal. His unwavering emotional support and caring attitude towards Parker won me over.
Addison Cole blends Parker’s relationship with Bert’s brother Abe into the story effortlessly. The brother’s relationship plays an important role in story’s resolution. Loved that Parker was welcomed into the Seaside community. Grayson understood that Parker needed a sense of normalcy, family and friends and he truly understood her needs during her journey from grief to acceptance.
The ending of Lovers at Seaside surprised me! Grayson makes a bad choice which tests the trust in his relationship with Parker. His actions devastate her and she leaves the Cape and returns to California. I loved that Addison Cole wrote such an honest ending—forgiveness and trust are two issues that everyone struggles with on a daily basis.
Lovers at Seaside is a heartfelt journey – with all the feels, great characters, dialogue. You will cry, laugh and enjoy this emotional friends to lovers romance!
