After months of long-distance communication, actress Parker Collins and artist Grayson Lacroux finally plan to reconnect in the seaside town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts. But Parker never shows, and weeks pass without a word, leaving Grayson to believe he’s misinterpreted their budding relationship.
Parker has been running on autopilot ever since she lost her friend, mentor, and the only family she’s ever known, Bert Stein. Armed with junk food, tequila, and her big, lovable dog, she’s prepared to hole up and mourn—and determined to mend a fence Bert had never been able to with his estranged and bitter brother. But Parker didn’t count on the handsome artist she’s been fantasizing about for nearly a year walking in on her grief-induced drunken night.
When Grayson stumbles across Parker, he has no idea what to make of the gorgeous blonde who blew him off despite the chemistry between them. But that doesn’t stop him from feeling protective of the woman who’s consumed his thoughts for months, and when he learns of Parker’s plans to confront an angry old man, he refuses to leave her side. As Parker’s past unfolds, they’re led on an unexpected journey of discovery. Their connection deepens, until good intentions spark painful secrets, threatening the love they’ve found.

What do a movie star, Contractor and a grumpy old man have in common? Well, they are all apart of Addison Cole's new book Lovers at Seaside, where the author whisks us back to Wellfleet, for a little sweet with heat story! And just in time for summer too! And the minute I received this book I couldn't wait to get stuck in!
But not only do we meet our heroes of the book, Pete and Sky's brother Greyson and movie star Parker's story, but also couldn't wait to catch up with characters from the past! To find out Bella and Theresa's latest prank, and to see the how the rest of the gang are doing.
Now when you first meet Parker, you honestly cannot help but feel for her. Losing the one person that has been in her life since she was 16 years old completely devastated her, but having Greyson there, gives her the love she craves. Greyson character is absolutely delicious and I seriously need him in my life! Not only does he offer support, he is kind, caring, respectful and (in my mind) perfect!... I wonder if I could "weird science" him into reality…But I digress.
The writing for Lover at Seaside is as wonderful and sweet, and everything you have come to expect from this author, but the plot is SO much more than a love story, and I think, even more than this author's other stories. But I will tell you, the twist at the end BLEW MY MIND! I honestly didn't see it coming! But I'm so thrilled it did.
I will be honest with you all, that this has been one of the toughest reviews I have had to write in the longest time because there are so many amazing parts to this book, I am scared to death that I'm going to accidentally reveal something and spoil the story. But if I can give you one piece of advice about this book…BUY IT NOW! Because everyone in the world needs to read this amazing story!
I give Lovers at Seaside 5 stars!...plus a million more!!
