Review: Secrets at Seaside by Addison Cole (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers Book 5)

by Addison Cole 
Publication Date: October 25, 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Sweet Romance

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!

Secrets at Seaside by Addison Cole is the sweet edition of New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster's steamy romance novel Seaside Secrets. The story conveys all of the passion you expect between two people in love, without any explicit scenes or harsh language.

In SECRETS at SEASIDE...
Tony Black is the hottest surfer on the planet. He travels the world throughout the year and spends his summers on Cape Cod with his friends, at the Seaside cottages in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He's got his choice of women, but Amy Maples is the one he wants. Fourteen years ago she was his for an entire summer, until a devastating accident changed everything, and what they had seemed like it had never existed--at least for her.

Amy Maples is as consistent as the day is long. She's spent summers on Cape Cod forever, she always does the right thing, and she's spent years trying to reclaim the heart of Tony Black, the only man she's ever loved. She's back for a summer of fun with her friends at Seaside, only this year she's been offered the opportunity of a lifetime thousands of miles away, and she's decided to try one last time to reconnect with Tony. But having a relationship with Tony means dealing with her past--and dealing with her past may knock her to her knees.

My review: 4.25 stars
After reading and enjoying the first four books in the series, I was dying to know more about Amy and Tony! Secrets at Seaside totally sideswiped me- I had no idea they had such a backstory! I'd categorize this as second-chance and friend-to-lovers too. I thought the author wrote their pain and loss so well. Each story in this series is so different, yet all the characters are well developed and feel genuine. I love catching up with characters from past books as the series continues. I can definitely recommend this "sweet" series- it has just the right amount of suggestive heat without being too explicit. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
