In SEASIDE WHISPERS...

Having a mad crush on her boss’s son, Matt Lacroux—an intriguing mix of proper gentleman and flirtatious bad boy—is probably not the smartest idea for single mother Mira Savage. Especially when the company, and her job, is already on shaky ground. But as a Princeton professor, Matt’s life is hours away from Mira’s home on Cape Cod, keeping him safely in the fantasy-only zone. And as a single mother to six-year-old Hagen, with a floundering company to save, fantasies are all she has time for.

 

With hopes of becoming dean off the table, and too many months of longing for a woman who lived too far away to pursue, Matt’s publishing contract couldn’t have come at a better time. He heads home to Cape Cod on a brief sabbatical, intent on starting his book, and finally getting his arms around sweet, seductive Mira.

A surprise encounter leads to white-hot passions and midnight confessions. The more time Matt and Mira spend together, the deeper their relationship grows, and the love and attention Matt showers on Hagen is more than she has ever dreamed of. But Matt’s sabbatical is only temporary, and Mira’s not saving his father’s company so she can leave it behind. Will their whispers of love be enough for one of them to change their life forever?

Ratings and reviews

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of Seaside Whispers. Melissa Foster definitely knows how to capture our attention and pull us in with her books and Seaside Whispers is no exception. B.J. Harrison was the narrator and he does an amazing job drawing us in. Matt Lacroux is a professor at Princeton who is taking a 3 month downtime to return to his hometown. Mira Savage is an employee who works for Matt's father. Mira is a single mother to her son Hagen. Mira and Matt have great chemistry together and add that to the way Matt always makes time to spend with her son Hagen. This a perfect situation any single mother looks for. Meet a nice, hot guy who actually cares and wants to spend that one on one time with her child. Absolutely perfect. I loved the audiobook and how we can all relate to these characters.

This book was the perfect escape on a cold and rainy November day and is now my favorite of the series. What I loved most about it was that it didn't feel bogged down by supporting characters. It's nice to see Bella, Jenna, Leanna, and Amy again, but they already had their own stories and happy endings. They don't need to dominate the whole story. This story was exactly how it should be, focusing mostly on Matt, Mira, and her adorable son Hagen with occasional cameos from everyone else. I'm such a sucker for a good single parent romance and this one delivered big time with a great mix of sweet and sexy. Another five star book.

4 stars Melissa Foster never disappoints me. She is truly a writing genius. No matter her subject manner, she nails it. Seaside Whisper is no different. This is a beautiful story about Matt, who comes to the small town to regroup and get to relax a little while on sabbatical from Princeton. He is a very smart man who has been focused on his career for the longest time. Now, he has met someone who has peeked his interest and wants to see if he can make it work. Mira is a single mom of a cute little boy who doesn't have time for a love life. She is focused on her son and only him. She is not even sure what dating is anymore. To add to it, Mira is not sure she wants to start anything with Matt, knowing he is only there for a short time. Why add more heartache to her or her son when Matt leaves. Matt is so sure that this will work, he is going to try any angel he can to win Mira over. I love this Seaside series. I especially love how Melissa can work in past characters and intertwine them into more and more books! It is like visiting old friends with new ones!!
