Emotional Impact!Amy Maples has secretly loved Tony Black since she was six years old. Their families, along with several others, spent summers in a cottage neighborhood at Seaside, where the sun and surf lead to lifelong friendships and more. Along the way, Amy and Tony found each other, but life-changing secrets tore them apart. Skip ahead fourteen years, and the group is back together for a wedding. Amy and Tony still have amazing chemistry and their friends don’t understand why these two aren’t together. As the story unfolds, we learn the strengths and vulnerabilities of both Amy and Tony, and discover the amazing heat and endurance of their connection, along with their secrets!Melissa Foster made me laugh, cry, and care about the characters in this story. Seaside Secrets is a wonderful journey! Emotional and awesome – it’s my favorite in this series.I have read all of the Seaside books (more than once), and have now listened to most of them. B.J. Harrison is wonderful with the voices. After listening to several of his entries, I can't imagine anyone else narrating for Amy and Tony.

It's no secret that Amy Maples has had the hot's for Tony Black since they were kids. All of the Seaside girls knew it as did most of the adults but what they didn't know was that they were once a couple. For one short summer they hid their attraction from everyone so no one ever knew about the tragic accident that tore them apart and changed both of their lives forever. Now fourteen years later, Amy has been trying for years to get Tony to see her that way again but he keeps putting her off. This year it's now or never because she's been offered a job across the globe that will keep her far away from Wellfleet for quite some time. Getting back with Tony though means dealing with their past as well as coming clean with her best friends.This story was heartbreaking to read at times. I couldn't imagine going through what Amy went through alone but I'm not sure that I would have done things any differently than she did either. The whole Seaside gang is back for this one and since Sky has become such a big part of the storyline, I'm hoping that she will have own story as well even though she wasn't part of the original Seaside gang.While this story can be read as a standalone book, it's much more enjoyable when read as a series.

This book is Melissa Foster at her best. Amy & Tony have a secret. They've been besties for a long time & everyone thinks they'd make a cute couple. They all know that Amy has been in love with Tony forever. However, there's a tragedy in their past that they just can't get over. Amy has a job opportunity that will force her to move away so she decides to give Tony one more chance. Tony has been in love with Amy since they were teenagers. He's hoping they can get beyond their past to create their future together.I loved this book! It has great characters that invoke the reader's sympathy from the beginning. The plot & dialogue touch the reader's emotions - happiness, grief, despair, anger, passion, sense of family. All are represented in various parts of the story. This is a great addition to the Love in Bloom series!!

Wow what can i say, My first Melissa Foster book was a freebie, and since I read that I haven't been able to put her books down, and I count the days to the next Book.The Love In Bloom series has to be by far one of my most favorite series I have had the pleasure to read.You can really connect with the characters and cant help get emotional involved with the story.We meet Amy and Tony way before we read their story,we spend a few summers with their friends and watch them fall in love and we know from out first mention of Amy she is in love with Surfer dude Tony.We also know Tony looks after a drunken Amy every summer. In all the previous books of these series im screaming at my Kindle for them to get together and I'm so happy they finally do.This book is a great read and i recommend it to everyone. i also recommend all other books by this great author. Melissa has out done herself again and i cant wait for her next book

Another brilliant story from The a Seaside Series, I'm just so glad that there is so much more to come because I don't want it all to end.Amy and Tony's story was so beautifully told, although there were some very touching and emotional moments throughout it defiantly pulled at the heartstrings.It seems like forever that we've waited to find out what it is actually going on between Amy and Tony, it felt like pieces of a puzzle coming together, it all made sense in the end.I love the humour and the camaraderie between all the girls,the way they do everything together and all their little quotes, they always look out of each other too, it's so endearing and we have Melissa Foster to thank for that, she's got it down to a T.. Just brilliant..!!

The name of this book is so rightly named the secrets you uncover about Amy and Tony you'll be shocked, I cried for Amy and Tony but also there were tears of happiness to.Amy and Tony know each other better than all the seaside think and the secrets of their past keeps them from loving anyone else but will they finally get their chance of love again.Amy Maples is such a beautiful person and definitely needs a special person to love her and Wow who thought Tony Black was the person and being so loving also Tony is the only one she’d ever be happy with.This is such a wonderful book I'd recommend it to everyone

This is my favourite seaside book. It was the first one in the series to make me cry. It tells the story of Amy and Tony who share a past. One she didn't share with her best friends. Over the summer she has to decide whether or not to take a job which would mean leaving the girls and Seaside, and the one person she truly loves. Tony and Amy finally come to terms with the past and admit what everyone else has been trying to tel them, Loved it

Seaside Secrets is a hot romance set on the east coast of America and part of the seaside series. This is Amy and Tony's story.Tony Black is an international surfer and he and Amy have a history. Circling each other for the past fourteen years, it is now make or break for them.This is easy to read escapism and draws together several of the couples from the series so far.A great beach or holiday read.

After reading the first 3 of this series I had to read this one. A touching story of love, loss and heartbreak with a happily ever after that will bring a tear to your eye.

But still very good. Just a bit too whimsical, the four weddings for example. A bit too contrived the reconciliation. A bit too low key in the way Amy and Tony finally gave into each other. I did, however, enjoy reading it, it just wasn't as BOOM!!! as the others.

Loved Tony and Amy's story, who would have thought there was a deep secret they were both keeping quiet. To catch up with all the other residents in Seaside was great, Jamie and Jessica's wedding, was just the start. Bella, Jenna, Leanna and their partners, still having fun and all still the best of friends. This series is amazing and you do not want it to end.

I brought this book the day it came out and I could not put it down. I ended up reading it in one evening.I have followed the series and have enjoyed them all. Amy and Tony's story was one I have been looking forward to and I was not dissapointed. Brilliant.

Brilliant series, brilliantly written, loved every single story but Amy and Tony story had some sad history, glad they got through it for each other and there friends. Omg loved the quad wedding, Theresa getting back at Bella was just awesome, great ending for all of them. Can't wait for more...

Another great sloppy read, I've loved all of the books in this series so far, I feel like I know all the characters personally.

Good story

A fitting finale of this series - sweet but with some serious bits too. Uncovering of secrets and then sorting out relationships with some rethinking of 'what happened that summer'. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Fantastic book

Love this series...Amy & Tony's story was fabulous...Melissa is a fantastic writer don't miss this series you will fall in Love with all the Characters ..BRILLIANT...
