ARC received for an honest review

I have not read the first book in the Bayside Summer series, however this did not affect my enjoyment of Bayside Passions at all.

I liked that our lovelies already knew each other well when the story starts (I assume it was all set up in the first book in the series). I liked that they could dive right into their friendship and more.

I freaking adore Dean. He is all kinds of swoonworthy and I was ready to scream at my kindle that if Emery didn't want him I would have him).

Now Emery - ugh, she frustrated me so much. I couldn't connect, and even at the end of the book I still didn't like her. I don't know exactly what it was, but nope, couldn't handle her at all.

Which made it had for me to get right into the story. And I hated that.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the story line, I liked the main man and I liked the other characters in the book, but my dislike of our leading lady took me out of the story.

And that has never happened to me with a Melissa Foster book.

It is probably just a case of "it's not you, it's me" with this one.

I do look forward to going back and reading the first book, and look forward to what Ms Foster brings us next.
