Description

Tempting Tristan is a stand-alone M/M romance featuring two sexy, hot alphas. One injured war hero, one who loved and lost. Both struggling for a future not bound by their painful pasts.

Fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship, Tristan Brewer is taking a break from men to try to figure out where he keeps going wrong. He knows his biggest fault--he leads with his heart, not his head--and that's never going to change. But after several introspective weeks, he's beginning to get a handle on things. That is, until badass heartthrob Alex Wells walks into his bar...

Alex has spent eight years in the army, months in a hospital bed, and far too long hiding his sexual identity. He's guilt-ridden, damaged, pissed off, and up for a Silver Star for the incident that nearly cost him his life--and kept him from his grandmother's funeral. But all he wants to do is live the life he's always dreamed of and forget his stint with the institution that allows but doesn't necessarily accept.

The chemistry between Tristan and Alex ignites from the moment they meet, and the more time they spend together, the hotter the flames burn. But the closer they become, the more Alex's walls go up, and when the two walk onto a military base, Tristan finds out Alex’s physical scars aren’t the ones that run the deepest.

In SWEPT INTO LOVE...It’s been years since Sally Tuft’s husband died and she was left to raise her teenage son alone. And almost as long since she told the only other man she’d ever wanted that they should be just friends. Now her son has left for college and Sally has no distractions to keep her from thinking about her best friend and coworker, Gage Ryder, and what could have been.

Gage always believed that one day Sally would move past the death of her husband and they would finally explore the passion that’s simmered between them since the day they met. Tasked with opening a new youth center in Oak Falls, Virginia, Gage hopes the trip away is just what they need to finally come together.

Before Gage and Sally ever reach Oak Falls, one night at a conference changes everything, putting their friendship—and their love—on the line, and the two must decide if getting swept up in love is the beginning of forever, or the end of their friendship as they know it.

In TAKEN BY LOVE...
Daisy Honey fled Trusty, Colorado, after years of battling rumors sparked by her gorgeous looks and lust-inducing name. Now a physician on the brink of a promising career, she reluctantly returns home when her father is injured in a farming accident. Daisy expects the small-town girls who hurt her in the past to take cheap shots again--but she's completely unprepared for a run-in with tall, dark, and wickedly sexy Luke Braden, the only man who has ever stood up for her--and the man she's never forgotten.

Luke Braden is handsome, wealthy, and the best damn gypsy horse breeder in the Midwest. After a restless youth, he's finally ready to settle down--only connecting with women is nothing like connecting with horses, and he's never met a woman worth the energy. After an arrest in a neighboring town, Luke's past comes back to haunt him, and he realizes that his inability to find love runs deeper than he ever imagined.

A chance encounter sweeps Luke and Daisy into a world of passion. For the first time ever, Luke feels a connection, but Daisy's life in Trusty is anything but permanent, and Luke can't manage a future until he puts his past to rest.

Ellie Parker is a master at building walls around her heart. In the twenty-five years she's been alive, Dex Remington has been the only person who has always believed in her and been there for her.

In LOVERS AT HEART...

Handsome, wealthy resort owner Treat Braden is used to getting what he wants. When Max Armstrong walked into his life six months earlier, he saw right through the efficient and capable facade she wore like a shield, to the sweet, sensual woman who lay beneath. She sparked an unfamiliar desire in him for more than a one-night stand, leaving his heart reeling and his blood boiling. But one mistake caused her to turn away, and now, after six months of longing for the one woman he cannot have, he's going home to try to forget her altogether.

Max Armstrong has a successful career, a comfortable lifestyle, and she's never needed a man to help her find her way--until Treat Braden caught her attention at a wedding in Nassau, causing a surge of emotions too reminiscent of the painful past she'd spent years trying to forget. Max will do anything to avoid reliving that pain--including forgoing her toe-curling, heart-pounding desire for Treat.

When a chance encounter turns into a night of intense passion, Treat realizes that the mistake he made six months earlier may cause him to lose Max completely. He will do everything within his power to win her heart forever--and Max is forced to face her hurtful past head on for the man she cannot help but love.

Second chances really do exist...

As the founder of a multimillion-dollar international security business, Carson Bad exposes secrets for a living. He knows better than to forge relationships built on them. But for years he did just that with his best friend, and secret lover, Tawny Bishop. She brought a sense of calm and understanding to his life—in and out of the bedroom. Until one fateful night when a knock at the door changed everything.

Tawny is no longer a naive college student. She’s a sought-after perfumer living in Paris. She has plenty of resources at her fingertips, and lots of lonely nights to think about the only man she’s ever loved—the one she ran away from all those years ago. She needs to move forward with her life, but how can she when Carson still owns her heart?

Maybe showing up in the middle of the night unannounced isn’t the best route to unraveling the past and figuring out her future, but Tawny has played it safe for ten long years, and it's only made her long for the man she never should have walked away from. Now she's back in Carson’s life, and he’s determined not to make the same mistake twice. If only he knew what that mistake was…

4 stars Melissa Foster is broadening my reading horizons one book at a time. I am used to reading contemporary romance novels. That is my safe place.... But with her Harborside Night Series, I am trying new things and liking them. Tempting Tristian is a M/M book. I usually don't read M.M, ut since it was Melissa's book, I gave it a try. If you have read the series, you know Tristian. He is a sweet guy who has been burned by a jerky ex. He has sworn off dating and focus in himself. That all changes when he meets Alex. Alex is totally alpha and an ex army. He is out of the army and out to the world. He is healing both mentally and physically from scars while overseas. Alex and Tristan have crazy chemistry. They both have lucked out meeting the other person. It is like they were meant for each other. Each one seems to help the other heal in ways that they need. I love this series and can't wait to see what is going to happen next!

Barbara Smith

ALPHA TANGOING ALL THE WAY INTO MY HEART Beautifully written so that the reader is drawn into the blossoming love story of Alex and Tristan. A story of courage, determination, fortitude, love, friendship and heat. Melissa Foster proves, yet again, that true love knows no gender...

Tracy Roberts

What else can I say except Holy Hell! This was another fantastic read. This was my first M/M read and I was worried about what I would think about it but I was very surprised at how much I truly liked it. You could feel the love and connection through out the whole book. If anyone can write a M?M book as good as Melissa Foster I would read it in a heartbeat. Tristan is a gay man that has always been open about his sexuality and has had tons of support, but has had bad luck with finding a man that loves him. Alex is a gay man that has always known he was gay but had to hide it from the Army for so many years. He is also a wounded veteran with lots of emotional issues. Tristan and Alex come together to find love, support and healing. Loved this book!!!

Nichole Pullen

Outstanding!!!!!! This was my very first m/m book. Melissa caught my attention from the very first page, I think their are many author's that can lead by her example of how to write and inspire many readers. I was very skeptical at first of the book being a m/m book. But I loved it!!!! I love all of her work and I think she is an amazing talented author. ..

I don't normally read M/M, but when Melissa Foster writes it, you read it! I am so glad I read this book! I love Tristan and Alex together. I would love to see more of them in the future.

Zoe Jones-Gill October 19, 2016

Some scars are not just on the outside. Tristan and Alex have scars from their lives. They are both kind and caring. Their connection is intense and powerful, but are they strong enough to heal each other? The story was emotional, gripping and tugged at the heartstrings. I became so engrossed in their lives that the fact that they were a same sex couple was not an issue. Well written and highly recommended.

Sharon Martin October 19, 2016

Two beautiful characters, both sensitive, damaged from past traumas and experiences find themselves falling hard for each other. They are both so supportive and considerate to each other's needs even though their passion is overwhelming them. This is a story full of love, hope, understanding and the strength to move on. Alex arrives in Harborside after his grandmother dies, he is fighting against his own fears, guilt and the deep pain, both mentally and physically, from his traumatic past. Tristan, who was very close to Alex's grandmother, has been so hurt in the past from previous relationships is unsure of making another commitment. Yet fate has a way of bringing these two sensitive souls together and they are instantly attracted to each other, love at first sight, their love helps each other to move on, along with the love and shared fondness they felt for Alex's grandmother. The story swaps between Tristan's and Alex's thoughts and points of view giving you the whole picture. I loved following their emotional and heart warming story as they grew closer and closer, it was so moving and really touched me. One minute I found myself choked with emotion the next laughing or smiling at their words of love. Their passion was off the scales hot intensifying their love and confirming how they truly felt for each other. This was my very first male/male romance read, one that was seriously hot too, all I can say is that it fills your heart with joy. I absolutely loved going back to my Harborside crew of fictional friends, they have such a special bond between them and are always there for each other. I was looking forward to Tristan's story after reading Discovering Delilah where I saw a glimpse of his lovely character. Melissa's writing really brings out the characters soul to the reader so the connection you feel is beautifully deep, there's a softness you feel when reading her books that makes you want to read more and more. It shows the enormous lengths you can go to change or improve when you have the love and support behind you.

Amy K Bolton October 19, 2016

Good Read!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've been waiting for this book for a long time & it was so worth the wait. Melissa Foster delivers every single time. Tristan & Alex are the sweetest couple ever. They show us that nothing stands in the way of love, not even broken spirits, broken hearts or broken bodies can stop love when it's meant to be. I love each & every book in this series. All 45 to date...lol & I love re-reading them...

Katie Seegers October 18, 2016

Great Read!!! This is my first M/M book that I've read and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. You get all the emotional goodness of a Melissa Foster story and of course the hot, hot, hotness! Great read!!!

Nancy Stopper October 17, 2016

We get to know Tristan in the previous books in the Harborside Nights series, but really get to dig into what makes him tick in his story. Tristan is a sensitive man who isn't looking for his happily-ever-after when he walks into the bar. He's confident in his sexuality and his feelings for Alex, but struggles with how Alex is dealing with his transition to civilian life. I love Alex. He's also confident in his sexuality but struggles with how to act in an environment where it is not frowned upon. He isn't ashamed of his relationship with Tristan, but he can't change the behaviors that have been drilled into him for his entire military career. He fits well into Tristan's circle of friends and accepts that he isn't going to change his relationship with them because Alex is now part of his life. I love how the two of them work together to establish Alex's life in Harborside and adjust to his grandmother's death. The one struggle I had is that I felt like their relationship didn't hit many speed bumps. Other than Alex's behavior with Tristan while in a military environment, their relationship was pretty smooth sailing the entire time. I wish there would have been a bit more that they needed to struggle through on the way to their happily-ever-after. But all in all, a great love story with a happily-ever-after, showing a realistic depiction of a gay couple dealing with real-life struggles of how the world accepts them. Disclosure: I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

ECP Films October 18, 2016

Overall: - 5 / 5 Amount of sex - 4 / 5 How explicit - 4 / 5 Romance - 5 / 5 I have been looking forward to reading Tempting Tristan, the newest Harborside Nights book by Melissa Foster, for some time now. I knew it was going to be a fun spicy book, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was so much more! Now don’t get me wrong… this book was incredibly hot, but it also had an amazing story line. Sometimes it is hard to find both aspects in one book. Tempting Tristan is the 3rd book in the Harborside Nights series, and a complete standalone. I have not read the first two books and was able to follow the story with no issues. I will definitely be going back and reading the other books in the series since I loved this one so much! Tempting Tristan tells the story of two men who have both been scarred, one internally and the other externally. It describes the struggles, the passion, the frustration, the friendship and so much more. For those who have not read a MM story yet, I recommend you give this book a shot before passing on it. 5+ stars! ** Voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy **

Melissa Foster April 10, 2017

A new, emotionally riveting, sexy standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Watch mysteriously sexy Bear Whiskey claw his way to his happily ever after with sassy, rebellious Crystal Moon.

"You can feel Bear's magnetism through the page. How can Crystal (or readers) resist?" -- New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent

In TRULY, MADLY, WHISKEY...

Eight months is a long damn time to have the hots for a woman who keeps a guy at arm’s length. But Crystal Moon is no ordinary woman. She’s a sinfully sexy, sass-mouthed badass, and the subject of Bear Whiskey’s midnight fantasies. She’s also one of his closest friends.

Just when Crystal thinks she has her life under control, scorching-hot, possessive, aggressive, and fiercely loyal Bear pushes all her sexual buttons, relentless in his pursuit to make her his.

The more Bear pushes, the hotter their passion burns, unearthing memories for Crystal that are best kept buried. But there’s no stopping the collision of her past and present, catapulting the two lovers down an emotionally charged road that has them questioning all they thought they knew about themselves.

In SEASIDE LOVERS:
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 sinfully hot 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 heat sizzling 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, and late-night fantasies become passionate realities, until good intentions spark painful secrets, threatening the love they've found.

In SISTERS IN WHITE...
Danica and Kaylie Snow are about to celebrate the biggest day of their lives--their double wedding--on an island in the Bahamas. But no wedding is complete without a little family drama. The two sisters aren't ready to face the father they haven't seen since he divorced their mother and moved away to marry his mistress, and live with Lacy, the half sister they've never met.

While Danica has exchanged letters and phone calls with Lacy, Kaylie has fervently tried to pretend she doesn't exist. Lacy is sweet, fun, and nearly a mirror image of Kaylie. To make matters worse, not only is Lacy looking forward to meeting her sisters, but she idolizes them, too.

In FRIENDSHIP ON FIRE...
Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break--working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and--just maybe--explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.

Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.

Josh and Riley's friendship heats up. Every steamy kiss and every erotic caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley's mentor accuses her of stealing the design.

Facing indisputable proof and the mistrust of her lover, Riley is not sure she can take the heat of life in the fast lane of the fashion industry--and Josh is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the career he adores.
