Jessica Ayers has lived a sheltered life with little more than cello lessons and practices taking up her day. Now a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she escapes the prim and proper symphony to vacation in the Seaside community in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and determine if she is living life to the fullest or missing it altogether.
For the first time since developing the second largest search engine in the world, billionaire Jamie Reed is taking the summer off. He plans to work from the Cape and spend time with his elderly grandmother—and falling in love is not in his plans.
From the moment Jamie and Jessica meet, the attraction is white-hot. Once-overly-focused Jamie can think of little else than sensual, smart, and alluring Jessica, and Jessica discovers a side of herself she never knew existed. But when Jamie’s business encounters trouble and his attorney and best friend intervenes, he proves that the blond beauty is too distracting for Jamie. To make matters worse, it appears that Jessica might not be who she says she is, turning Jamie’s life—and his heart—upside down. In a world where personal information is always one click away, Jamie must decide if he should trust his heart or watch the woman he loves walk away.
Thank you to JB for letting me take part in this tour, I am a big fan of Melissa’s books and I was thrilled that I could take part in this one.
Jamie has been part of the seaside gang for well ever really. He’s like a brother to the girls, Jenna, Amy, Bella and Leanna. He is a bit of a tech geek and I have loved him throughout the other seaside books. He always seems to be there for people. Always putting them first. He loves his Grandmother Vera and he really dotes on her which I find very sweet. Jamie has always been 100% focus on his work but this summer he decided he needs to spend more time with Vera so he took the whole summer off.
Along comes Jessica. Jessica is a shy quiet girl. She is very reserved. She has been brought up in a world where ladies are prim and proper. She has had real friends for a long time and she certainly has not had a boyfriend. I enjoyed seeing Jessica make friends with the girls at Seaside and realising how much she had missed. I loved seeing Jessica grow into the person she always wanted to be.
This is a really great story and I loved the twist, it was so devastatingly perfect for these two. This is another great book to add to the Love in Bloom series.
