I have been waiting for *forever* for Grayson's story and I'm so excited it's here! And it arrives with a fabulous movie star in tow. Although happily ever after is never a straight path, this story will entice you and keep you wrapped up as Parker and Grayson navigate the tricky waters of love and attraction. A great addition to the Sweet with Heat series! ( )

There are many aspects of life we take for granted. Among the most valued is life itself and the time we seem to forget is rapidly slipping away. Lovers at Seaside is an amazing tale of life, love and loss. It's also a life lesson: "Make every moment and person in your life count." Addison Cole wraps readers up in a tale of new beginnings and heartbreaking loss. For Grayson and Parker loss takes their friendship in a new direction. As Parker opens her eyes to what could be with Grayson, love's true meaning becomes crystal clear to her heart. It's about learning to forgive, opening your heart and taking a leap of faith. It's also about doing one last favor for a friend. There are moments where the emotion seems larger then the characters, but that's to be expected when looking at greatness. The hardest goodbyes, often bring the sweetest hellos. ( )

What do a movie star, Contractor and a grumpy old man have in common? Well, they are all apart of Addison Cole's new book Lovers at Seaside, where the author whisks us back to Wellfleet, for a little sweet with heat story! And just in time for summer too! And the minute I received this book I couldn't wait to get stuck in!

But not only do we meet our heroes of the book, Pete and Sky's brother Greyson and movie star Parker's story, but also couldn't wait to catch up with characters from the past! To find out Bella and Theresa's latest prank, and to see the how the rest of the gang are doing.

Now when you first meet Parker, you honestly cannot help but feel for her. Losing the one person that has been in her life since she was 16 years old completely devastated her, but having Greyson there, gives her the love she craves. Greyson character is absolutely delicious and I seriously need him in my life! Not only does he offer support, he is kind, caring, respectful and (in my mind) perfect!... I wonder if I could "weird science" him into reality…But I digress.

The writing for Lover at Seaside is as wonderful and sweet, and everything you have come to expect from this author, but the plot is SO much more than a love story, and I think, even more than this author's other stories. But I will tell you, the twist at the end BLEW MY MIND! I honestly didn't see it coming! But I'm so thrilled it did.

I will be honest with you all, that this has been one of the toughest reviews I have had to write in the longest time because there are so many amazing parts to this book, I am scared to death that I'm going to accidentally reveal something and spoil the story. But if I can give you one piece of advice about this book…BUY IT NOW! Because everyone in the world needs to read this amazing story!

I give Lovers at Seaside 5 stars!...plus a million more!! ( )

I liked this one but it wasn't a story that really stood out to me. This is the ninth book in the Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers series but it reads perfectly fine as a stand-alone while readers of the series will enjoy checking in with some of the characters from earlier books. I found this quick and pleasant read and liked the chemistry between the characters.

Parker is an actress taking some much needed alone time after the loss of her good friend and mentor. Her friend, Bert, was like family to her and she now feels alone in the world. Grayson is an artist who has been working on a project for Parker for the past several months. Grayson finds Parker drunk and wants to help her put the pieces back together. Add in Parker's adorable dog, Christmas, and things are looking up.

I liked Parker and Grayson together and I found their relationship to quite authentic. I thought that they had some great chemistry with each other and connected well from the very start. I really didn't see any obstacles to their relationship and honestly, things went really smoothly with the exception of a quick hiccup at the end of the book. In some ways, I would have like to see a bit more drama between these two characters.

This book is narrated by Lucy Rivers and Aiden Snow and it was my first experience with both of their work. I did prefer Aiden Snow's performance in this book and would find that I was a bit disappointed when the narration would change at times. I thought that Lucy Rivers also did a fine job with the story but I found her narration to be somewhat monotonous at times.

I do think that a lot of readers will enjoy this one a bit more than I did. I thought that the characters were very well done but I wish that the book had just a bit more drama to hold my attention.

I received a copy of this audiobook from the author / publicist. ( )
