Drake has always done the right thing, especially where fiercely determined Serena is concerned, and doing the right thing has meant keeping his feelings locked away. Serena has always wanted more than their small town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, can offer, and now she has landed a coveted position with a top interior design firm that will pull her away to the city. Drake's roots run so deep in the Cape that all he can do is watch the woman he wants pack up her life and prepare to leave. With her departure looming, the years of easy partnership and unspoken longing between them reach a breaking point, and the question hiding beneath their friendship can no longer be avoided: is Drake too late to tell her the truth, or will one last Cape Cod summer finally give them the courage to risk everything for each other? Warm and funny, it is a story about the love that has been hiding in plain sight.",2018,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxpzewb47m7vv48ewa2w291h.jpg?v=3208309676","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxpzewakgzyjzw33bgdkxsht.png?v=5d837636ae","LNJ[R~IU.T-pC9Nbo}f+L1?GMdR*","4.00",1,342,389,0,"complete",false,true,[17,17,17,17,17,17,17,14,17,17],[23],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26,"role":27,"bio":28},"01kx262b7fyxe3z8beha1bc09z","melissa-foster-ffxg","Melissa Foster","author","A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Melissa Foster has written more than 100 novels and sold millions of copies worldwide.

It is the third book in the Bayside Summer series and it can be read as a stand-alone. \n\nDrake and Serena were introduced in the previous books and from the moment I met them they intrigued me. Here we have two friends who did almost everything together, but we're not a couple. However, their chemistry was undeniable, and I waited with eager anticipation for their story.\n\nDrake and Serena loved each other as teenagers and nothing has dulled their feelings. Serena would give anything for Drake to acknowledge her as more than a friend, but no matter what she did he kept her in the friend zone. That was until she decided to accept a job offer in Boston, which would allow her further advancement in her interior design profession.\n\nDrake's profound desire is to see Serena succeed in career dreams and refused to stand in her way, even if it meant denying his feelings. When he realised pursuing her dreams meant her moving away indefinitely, he knew he had to make his feelings known. \n\nI loved both characters, although sometimes their actions frustrated the back out of me, especially Drake. Serena is a fighter. She had it rough growing up, but she fought her way through the trials to become the woman she is today, down to earth, independent and a survivor. Drake is adorable, selfless and caring. This was evident from the way he treated his family, friends and most of all Serena.\n\nTheir relationship developed quickly, but challenges abound. The challenge of distance being the main one followed by her job. Where there's a will there's a way, and these two were the epitome\nof this adage. Their determination to make their relationship succeed, amidst the frustrations was a testament to their commitment to each other.\n\nI knew these two would have their happily ever after. There was no doubt at all, but what had me on edge was discovering the steps they would take to overcome the challenges they faced. In the end, it all worked out and I could not be more pleased with the outcome.\n\nConclusion\u002FRecommendation\nBayside Heat met all my expectations and left me with a happy feeling. This is a perfect story for the summer while relaxing on the beach.","none","rv-01kxpzeypawdmb8nbf722dk85z",[],"2026-07-17T02:46:03.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":148,"per_page":149,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":19},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxpzewakgzyjzw33bgdkxsht\u002Freviews",20]
