Brianna Heart has a six-year old daughter and a twelve-year plan to keep her life as simple as possible until Layla turns eighteen. That means swearing off relationships and the drama that goes along with them, working two jobs, and being the best damn mother she can be. The last thing Capital Series Grand Prix racer Hugh Braden wants after dating media-hungry leggy models and money-hungry fan girls is a blind date. But how could he turn down a favor to one of his best friends? Hugh expected the date to go poorly, but he didn’t expect to be intensely attracted to the beautiful brown-eyed bartender who completely blows him off—and steals his every thought thereafter.
When Brianna’s perfectly orchestrated life turns upside down, Hugh is there to help, softening the turmoil, and maybe even rescuing her heart from the lonely place where it has been hiding. Can a man who doesn’t believe in fate and a woman who doesn’t believe in true love find happiness in each other’s arms forever?
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 starsHearts at Play by Melissa Foster is the ninth book in the encompassing Love In Bloom series and the sixth book in The Bradens portion of that series.
Once again, Melissa Foster delivers a sweet and heartwarming tale. This one is of two people with different life goals who begin to realize that, despite themselves, they may actually be better WITH the other person in their lives. They realize it's okay to open up and not try to do everything by yourself.
Hugh Braden is a Grand Prix racecar driver and is using to living life fast and hard. He accepts a friends offer of a blind date because, honestly, can it be any worse than the gold-digging fan girls that currently chase him around? He didn't expect to be so besotted with the date that wants NOTHING to do with him.
Brianna Heart is a mom to a beautiful six-year old girl and has a twelve-year plan of working two jobs and staying away from guys so that she can be the best mom possible to her daughter. she isn't expecting to be blown away by Hugh and fights it as much as possible.
Can these two work out their difference in expectations and life-plans to finally allow love into their lives?
