Read, Write, Love at Seaside

    In this blog post, I reviewed Addison Cole’s Read, Write, Love at Seaside, the first installment in the Seaside Summers contemporary romance series, this sweet romance will make your heart sigh and weep for joy. Leanna Bray is a free spirit and didn’t know what she wanted to do with her disorganized life. But she wanted to make a name for herself, a niche in selling her jellies and jams in the local farmer’s market. When she vacationed in Cape Cod, she never thought she would find her love for her life there, and how it would change her life. Kurt Remington is a best-selling thriller writer who loves the peace and quiet to write in his novel in his cabin. But when Leanna and her dog Pepper got caught up in a wave from a storm, he stopped everything and rescued them even if it interrupted his concentration. Ever since then, this love story built on how Kurt helped Leanna find her footing and grounding in selling her jams, and how she made his life easier when there was life outside of writing in an organized world. Within that summer, he began to grow on loving her and also on Pepper, and wanted to do something more for her and her business. When she received a contract of a lifetime to stay locally, she didn’t know what to do and didn’t want to lose Kurt in the process. In the end, they made things work out to stick together and to build their future for forever with a happy ending.

 This lovely contemporary romance is wonderful and fantastic.  I cared for Leanna, who loves her friends, making jams, and being with Pepper. She found her true soul mate with Kurt who helped her guide in the right direction and was the perfect sounding board to make her dreams come true.  I also cared for Kurt, who lived one to write the next best thing, and haven’t had the time to smell the salty-sprayed roses. Though Leanna had upset his apple cart, he found the perfect work-family business when he first met her. The dual locations of Seaside and Wellfleet Cape Cod were dreamy and magnificent with picturesque scenic settings. The theme of the story is that love will sneak up on you in the least expected way.

This breath-taking contemporary romance is perfect for all romantics at heart and love reading love stories taking place nearing the ocean or sea. I rated this book, four out of five stars, because it made me smile at the end. If you love romances with non-stop action, plenty of romantic  drama, and hints of sweet romance,  Read, Write, Love at Seaside will sweep you off your feet. This book is recommended for fans who love Hallmark Movies, romcoms, Susan Wiggs, Sheryl Woods, and Debbie Macomber.
