but after a year of being turned down, he finally get Lizzie to say yes to a
date!!! And he is thrilled that finally he is with the women he loves…until she
reveals her dark secret and he feels betrayed.
Seized by Love at Seaside is another
wonderful book in the Sweet With Heat: Seaside Summers series by Addison Cole,
the tale is one of pride, family, and sacrifice, which at point removed me to
ugly tears. The characters are warm and likable. And when it comes to the
actual plot, it shows on one hand just how much a person is willing to do for
family, even if you have to keep it a secret, and on the other, that sharing
everything with the ones you love is not always disastrous!
I give Seized By Love at Seaside 5 stars!

THERE WERE SOME nights when Lizzie Barber simply didn’t feel like donning an apron, black-framed glasses, and high heels, covering her shiny brunette locks with a blond wig, and prancing around nearly naked. Tonight was one of those nights. Gazing at her reflection in the mirror of her basement bathroom, Lizzie tucked the last few strands of her hair beneath the wig and forced her very best smile. Thank goodness her elfin lips naturally curled up at the edges—even when she wasn’t smiling, she looked like she was. And tonight she definitely wasn’t in the mood to smile. Her oven had been acting up for the last few nights, and she prayed to the gods of all things sugary and sweet that it would behave tonight.
Tightening the apron tie around her neck and the one around her waist, to avoid wardrobe malfunctions, and tugging on the hem of the apron to ensure her skin-colored thong and all her naughty bits were covered, she went into the studio—aka the miniscule kitchen located in the basement of her cute Cape Cod cottage—and surveyed her baking accoutrements one last time before queuing the intro music for her webcast and pasting that perfectly perky smile back in place.
“Welcome back, my hot and hunky bakers,” she purred into the camera. “Today we’re going to bake delicious angel food cupcakes with fluffy frosting that will make your mouth water.” She leaned forward, flashing the camera an eyeful of cleavage and her most seductive smile as she crooked her finger in a come-hither fashion. “And because we all know it’s what’s beneath all that delicious frosting that counts, we’re going to sprinkle a few surprises inside the thick, creamy centers.”
