Seaside Love #3
Anchor
A hot one-night stand. The surprise of a lifetime.
Bristol Reid is screwed.
Sure, she just had the hottest night of her life with a sexy Marine, but that’s no help to her now.
Not when she learns she’s pregnant with his baby and has no way to contact him.
Besides, the last thing she needs is another Marine making promises that he can’t keep, like her father.
When Seth shows up, ready to pick up things where they left off, Bristol realizes that she’s doubly screwed.
Not only does she need to tell him that he’s a dad, but she also needs to keep her heart safe from the one man who’s capable of breaking it.

Bristol and Seth are an emotion filled roller coaster ride. After growing up in a family where her father was constantly deployed by the military, Bristol is weary of any commitments from Seth, a military man. And Seth, an orphan bounced around by the foster care system is looking for his forever family.
After dancing around each other over a brief period of time, they finally connect the day before Seth is deployed overseas again and he tells Bristol he thinks she’s the one and he’ll be back. Neither knows, but Seth leaves more than his heart in small town Alabama, he leaves behind a surprise baby.
Upon his return to the town, Bristol and Seth reconnect, but she fails to tell him about his daughter.
Bristol had emotional separation issues stemming from her childhood and Seth just wanted a family, his own family. Will baby Rebekah be the tie that binds them forever? Can these two overcome all the baggage and find a way back to each other.
No spoilers, but what’s a good love story without a happy ending....

Well...let's just say I couldn't put this one down till I was done. Did that mean drinking a Monster at work the next day since I stayed up half the night?? Yep! Book 3 in the series is just as amazing as the 1st two. Who doesn't love a hunky alpha marine and the shy yoga instructor too worried to share her feelings falling for each other. But what drama can happen when that one hookup the day before he leaves for the sandbox changes their lives forever? Will he ever come back? A year later and a big suprise waiting he's home and Bristol doesn't know how to react. When the truth comes out, will Seth run or will he pull out all the stops to claim the girl that he wants to spend the rest of his life with? 5 BIG ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed how the story went. It was not your typical secret baby tale. It had a bit more bones to it.
Bristol and Seth had such a short time together and there was a lot of fear that held them back with some things.
I loved how Seth went all in with things but made a few mistakes of his own.
Bristol is a mom who just wants to protect her heart and kid.
I love the interaction with our couple and the other characters from Dixie Pointe. They are at times fun, supportive, loving and show true friendship!
The timing of the book is awesome and it was a great read that had a lot of heart!

Seth and Bristol are easily my favorite couple in Dixie Point. I absolutely adore everything about their relationship!
Seth was in Dixie Point right before heading out for another deployment when him and Bristol have a one night stand that leaves her pregnant. Now, he is back in Dixie Point and looking to stay for good and hopefully reconnect with Bristol, but will everything work out when he finds out that he has a daughter?
I loved the chemistry between Bristol and Seth from the start and it only continued to grow once they reconnected. I found myself frustrated with Bristol at times though. I wanted her to just tell Seth that he has a daughter instead of keeping it from him, however, given her past I also understand where she was coming from. Seth is super sweet and protective, especially when it comes to her. Seth and Bristol’s story is a rollercoaster but worth wait.
If you’re looking for a small town, second chance, secret baby romance this is one to read!

This is a sweet second chance romance with steam, a cute little girl, and some very supportive friends.
I’ll be honest though, Bristol got on my nerves. I understood her reasoning for doing things but also felt frustrated with her for constantly putting it off even when she would say she was going to talk to Seth. I loved Seth and how he put his heart on the line right away. Which is another reason why Bristol frustrated me so. She knew how he felt from the beginning.
I did like the story and found myself smiling at Rebekah and loved seeing all the other characters and catching up with them.

Oh Bristol and Seth. This is the third book in the Dixie Point series and it doesn't disappoint. Bristol grew up in a military family that was constantly moving. Once she found Dixie Point, she didn't want to leave. She had finally found home. Seth grew up in the foster care system and never had a home or a family. He was perfectly content serving in the military and going where it sent him, until one night with Bristol.
The story of these two is very sweet as they try to navigate obstacles. Bristol has a huge secret that she is keeping from Seth, and Seth is trying to adjust to life outside of the military. It is a good read!

Omg Seaside Classification is so damn sweet. It’s a second chance at romance for Seth and Bristol. Bristol and Seth have to be one of my absolute favorite couples out of the Seaside collection. The second chance at love and happiness will have you routing for them from the very beginning. Can’t wait to see where Dixie Pointe takes us on our next journey.

This is a small town, second chance, secret baby story
I've been wanting Bristol's story since book 1 and I was not disappointed. The emotional rollercoaster that Seth and Bristol go thru to get their HEA is sometime hard to read but so worth it. I love Dixie Point and all the characters and their stories and connections to each other. I wish everyone had friends like these.
I can't wait for the next book.

Seaside Secret Baby Love
I have quickly become addicted to this Dixie Pointe series from Author AJ Alexander and I believe from the tone of her writing that she is having some fun with her characters! While each of these books can be read as stand-a-lones, together they have a great set of interconnecting characters whose lives I’ve become invested in, and look forward to reading more about with each novella.
Seth and Bristol’s story is a military, secret-baby, almost second chance romance, so Ms Alexander certainly ticked all of my boxes. Having seen some of the fiery chemistry between them in book 2, Seaside Do Over, I was more than looking forward to it and it certainly lived up to all expectations!!!
Seth laid almost all of his cards on the table before heading off for his year tour in Afghanistan, but Bristol’s history ensured she wasn’t going to have a bar of it. So, when he showed up on her doorstep after his tour finished, he had his work cut out for him in proving to her that he was serious about getting serious with her!
This book is my favourite so far, and Seth has to be the most gorgeous of Ms Alexander’s heroes for quite some time. The chemistry between them was sexy and romantic, even as I want to slap some of Bristol’s reluctance out of her! This was all rounded out beautifully with the best in secondary characters that really make the story great.
There’s another one coming after this, and if you’re into the off-limits best-friend’s-little-sister trope, then this will be right up your alley, so be on the l👀k out for it! 5-Stars for Seaside Classified.

Seaside Classified!
Seaside Classified is the third book in the Dixie Point series. This is the story of Bristol and her hookup with Seth just before he leave for another tour of duty. The two can’t stop thinking about each other while he’s away, but Bristol has a hard stop with any relationship with a man who is in the military after seeing her father miss so much of their lives growing up.
When Seth returns from his tour of duty, he had no place to go and he felt at home in Dixie Point. And the woman he fell for lives there, so he has decided, this is where he decides to put down roots. And he’s decided to spend his life showing Bristol that she’s the woman with whom he wants to spend the rest of life. Now he has to convince her. He knows she’s holding back, but he has no idea the secret Bristol is hiding from him.
This was a good read with wonderful characters. I was mainly upset with Bristol for keeping her secret so long that it became even bigger than it needed to be! Seth deserved the truth and they needed to deal with any fallout as soon as possible in the relationship. It would very much bother me, wondering what other truths Bristol would hide in future, but I don’t think I’d forgive as easily as Seth.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

We have been asking about Bristol since this series started. You won’t be disappointed with Seth in this one. A summer of avoiding each other leads to one insane night before Seth leaves on active duty. When Seth’s tour is over there is one place that he wants to be. Dixie Point and to find the girl that stole his heart. But Bristol has a secret that she knows that she needs to tell Seth about this daughter. But is it the one thing that can make him run from her forever? This one is still a quick read from AJ Alexander, it’s a little longer than the others in this series but its still something that we love and cant wait to read more of.

This is the 3rd book in this series and is Seth and Bristol’s story. There two share a hot night before Seth leaves on deployment, and Bristol finds out that she is pregnant. When Seth returns home and shows up on her doorstep, he has his work cut out for him to prove to Bristol that they should be together and has no idea what the secrets she is keeping from him is. This is a well written story which is a fun, sweet, secret baby, 2nd chance romance story, with love and emotions, which all leads to an entertaining and all-consuming page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.

March 29, 2021Seaside Classified by AJ Alexander was the perfect romance. I love books when couples have been torn apart from misunderstandings, secrets or unforseen circumstances. Seth and Bristol had a doozie. Military romances are always hot right up there with police, firefighters and of course MC. I found myself loving Bristol and her need to keep her secret until Seth comes to town. When they finally meet he wants nothing more than Bristol back in his life. The book was definitely swoon worthy. Kudos!
I can hardly wait for Brady and Emersyn's book.

Bristol’s story has been hinted at throughout this series and I am glad that it has finally been told. I loved that Bristol did not fall at Seth’s feet. A great story and addition to this series. Can’t wait to see what is in store for Dixie Point!!!

Seaside Classified was the best one yet in the series. Set and Bristol definitely has some ups and downs but came out better for it in the end. Looking forward to book # 4. AJ you've done it again 👏🏻

Seth and Bristol’s story was my favorite Dixie Point story so far. I am loving that I get to read all of the stories of the characters that I fell in live with in book 1. I can’t wait for more!

Second chance romance. Sexy Marine who comes to get his girl. Could be read as a standalone. You can read about Bristol’s sister, Melissa, in Until Melissa.

March 30, 2021I loved Seth and Bristol’s. My heart broke for Seth so many times but it made me fall in love with him that much more. Coming from his past to where he ended up can show everyone, that your carve your own past.Don’t let the past carve you. Bristol, I understand what she did and why she did it. I get the whole thing especially having one of my own, but that is hard secret to keep and to have your family and friends to keep. But it was perfect still and I would change their love or story any other way.
