He has wanted her since the first moment he saw her, and when he learns she sings with the voice of an angel, it reaches a part of his heart he can no longer talk himself out of. There is just one problem: Cree is dating a burly biker and is firmly off-limits, or so Brock believes. Over one fun-filled weekend among family and friends, the pull between the guarded gym owner and the free-spirited singer becomes impossible to resist, and Brock decides he is done holding back. A shorter, standalone story within the larger Love in Bloom collection, it trades the slow build of a full novel for a concentrated rush of chemistry, laughter, and heart, as two people who assumed they could never be together begin to question that assumption. Set against the warmth of a close-knit circle, it is a quick, flirty escape into a romance that catches them both by surprise.",2019,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxpq2hx9xcbteneb6eb2sg6f.jpg?v=a855de767b","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxpq2hwnd7hnc4swj1s7k7pc.png?v=66af945013","LQMa6LK5?crXp{wcx]XR.8%gIAVt","3.00",1,78,89,0,"complete",false,true,[18,18,18,18,18,15,18,18,18,18],[24],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27,"role":28,"bio":29},"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.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Season Serenade is book 9 and a novella in the Seaside Summer series. Despite being the brevity of the tale, Seaside Serenade delivered a fun and steamy feel-good romance.\n\nThe events of Seaside Serenade took place over a two-day period. Although this is book 9, Seaside Serenade makes a wonderful introduction to readers not familiar with the series. For those familiar with the series, it offers one the chance to catch up with the couples from the previous books, while delivering a short, spicy and sweet romance for a new couple, Brock and Cree.\n\nBrock and Cree shared and intense attraction, however a misunderstanding prevented them from exploring their feelings. The moment they learnt the truth there was no holding back for these two. I enjoyed spending with this couple but I wished I had more time with them.\n\nI had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook which was narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Sean Masters. Their voices complemented each other and they brought the characters and the story to life. They did a great job with the variety of characters' voices. They showcased different tones for each character. Their collaboration led to a satisfying listening experience  This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading",3,"none","rv-01kxpq2j9m8rtx31gm75ceg8hd",[],{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":131,"per_page":132,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":20},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxpq2hwnd7hnc4swj1s7k7pc\u002Freviews",20]
