5 STARS!
If you read the Seaside Summers series by Melissa Foster, you will recognize Lizzie Barber and Blue Ryder. I didn’t read the previous series, but didn’t have any trouble at all following this book and falling in love with these characters. It’s well written and draws you in very easily, so you’re turning page after page waiting to see what’s going to happen. You might even find yourself cursing at Blue a bit like I did, but I soon loved him again, so no worries. 🙂
Lizzie Barber owns her own flower shop, P-town Petals, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. What no one knows about her, is she secretly does a hot web series on the side to earn money to pay for her little sister’s education.
Blue Ryder has been trying to get Lizzie to go on a date with him ever since he met her a year ago. She likes him and finds him hard to resist, but doesn’t think it’s fair to start a relationship with him when she has this secret life. She finally gives in and goes on a couple of dates with him, but when they start to get serious about each other, she feels the need to come clean with him.
When her secret life as the Naked Baker is revealed, she has to try to pick up the pieces and move forward. Will Blue be able to understand why she didn’t tell him about it from the beginning? Will her friend and family get over it?

BLURB:
You fell in love with Blue Ryder and Lizzie Barber in Seaside Summers, now follow their journey to find true love in SEIZED BY LOVE, the first book in the Ryder series.
Lizzie Barber runs a successful flower shop by day and secretly hosts the Naked Baker webcast at night to help pay for her younger sister’s education. To keep friends and family from finding out about her sexy secret, she’s put her social life on hold until her sister’s education is paid off and she can stop filming the webcast.
Blue Ryder fell hard for Lizzie Barber when he met her a year ago, and he hasn’t been able to get her off his mind since. Everything about the feisty little brunette, from her tight bod to her seductive smile, cuts straight to his heart. Though Lizzie has turned down every invitation he’s extended—Blue is not about to give up trying.
Renovating Lizzie’s kitchen brings Blue further into Lizzie’s life, and the oven is not the only thing heating up. One night and one powerful kiss changes everything. But when Lizzie’s secret is revealed and the safe bubble she’s hidden in shatters, true love may not be enough to put the pieces back together.
