Tempting Tristan by Melissa Foster #bookreview

Harborside Nights: Tempting Tristan by Melissa Foster

Melissa Foster brings to life a story of a gay couple in Tempting Tristan that is as hot and as fierce as her other creations. I was a little shocked at first when I discovered this story, however, I quickly moved past my shock and fell fast for this lovable couple.

Tristan is a bartender at the Taproom, his friend’s bar. He is muscled, tattooed and hot. All the girls flirt with him, and of course for better tips, he flirts back. When a blistering hot man walks into the bar one afternoon, Tristan can’t help the feeling he experienced when their eyes met.

Alex is new in town. He moved to Harborside after getting out of the military and to settle his grandmother’s estate. His grandmother left him her beach house and before she passed away she recommended that he meet Tristan, a wonderful person who she had high respect.

Alex and Tristan, both dealing with their demons, healed each other through companionship, love, and admiration. Alex didn’t like the looks and remarks from ignorant people and laid back Tristan calmed him. Tristan was overcoming a bad relationship and Alex treated him like he always wanted to be treated: loved.

This is more than a hot romance story. Foster shows that no matter the sex of the couple, love is love and nothing can be stronger if it is right.

New Release…

Tempting Tristan is a stand-alone M/M romance featuring two sexy, lovable alphas from the Harborside Nights series.

Fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship, Tristan Brewer is taking a break from men to try and 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 forget his stint with the institution that allows but doesn’t necessarily accept, and live the life he’s always dreamed of.

The chemistry between Tristan and Alex ignites from the moment they meet, and the more time they spend together the hotter the flames become. But the closer Tristan gets, 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.

HARBORSIDE NIGHTS is a sexy, hot, and evocatively real series of stand-alone romances that follows a group of friends who have known one another for years as “summer” friends, and now come together after college to build their lives. They’re tough, edgy, and accepting—most of the time. This series is written in the same loving, raw, and emotional voice readers have come to love by New York Times & USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Melissa Foster with LGBT themes.

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

“I am in awe of you… What an emotional roller coster…I laughed, cried and was so drawn in by him and his demons, speaks so true to the problems many men like him face. And the line that they aren’t allowed to cross costs them so much, and the havoc when they do. Well done.. M/M romance author’s should take notes. The best in the series by far!” Jean V. Booknerd

Catching Cassidy
CATCHING CASSIDY is a SILVER MEDAL Winner! Readers’ Favorite Award, Realistic Fiction 

Wyatt Armstrong never imagined that instead of celebrating his college graduation, he and his twin sister would be dealing with the death of their parents. Then again, Wyatt had never been one to think past tomorrow. He heads to their summer home in Harborside, Massachusetts, with his best friend Cassidy Lowell in tow, to deal with his parents’ death and to try to figure out his next step.

Six foot two, infuriatingly handsome, and flirtatious, Wyatt Armstrong has always been there for Cassidy, helping her pass her classes and fend off unwanted advances, while driving her insane with his one-night stands–but that’s what best friends are for, isn’t it? Having each other’s backs. There was never any doubt that she would accompany him to his family’s summer home–but she never expected to begin seeing Wyatt as more than a friend. Or has she been ignoring her feelings all along? 

It’s impossible to ignore the sizzling heat between them as Wyatt and Cassidy get even closer, but Cassidy knows Wyatt’s past, and she has a real job to begin in the fall. Wyatt may be a sure thing for the summer, but Cassidy needs more. For the first time in his life, Wyatt is forced to look toward the future if he doesn’t want to lose the one woman who’s shared his past and owns his heart.

Discovering Delilah

DISCOVERING DELILAH is an New Adult Lesbian Romance (#LGBT)

After the death of her parents on the day of her college graduation, Delilah Armstrong thought she could finally follow her heart and come out to her closest friends, but the guilt of going against her parents’ beliefs haunts her. The feelings she has for her best friend, Ashley, are stronger than anything she’s felt before, but Delilah has never even kissed a girl, and fear stops her at every turn.

Ashley Carver promised herself that she would never again date another girl who wasn’t out, but that was before she met intoxicatingly sweet and sexy Delilah.

When another girl offers to teach Delilah the ropes, it changes Delilah’s whole world and gives her the courage to go after the only girl she really wants. But coming out isn’t as easy as Delilah imagined, and moving past her parents’ death and the feelings of guilt she is left with is even harder. The intense passion between Ashley and Delilah is too strong to deny, but coming together means risking everything.

Discovering Delilah is an edgy, evocative, romantic story of friendship, family, and the courage to love.
