I was looking forward to getting to know Hugh, the youngest of the Braden’s as he seemed to flit in and out, being a racing car driver, and from previous books with him mentioned he liked his woman like he liked his cars, fast. But he wasn’t in a relationship. In Hearts at Play we see another side of Hugh, a Patrick Dempsey lookalike (Yes Please!), with a huge heart but never been wanting to settle down everything is new to him. e decides to go to a quite tavern where people probably won’t recognise him and meets Brianna. There is instant attraction there but Brianna is a single mother and does not want to get involved with anyone until her daughter Layla is 18.This story is different from the other Braden’s love stories as this involves the delicate matter of single mother and her child and Brianna’s thoughts and feelings with getting involved with a man with a dangerous job but most importantly she puts her daughter above all else.I am not going to give anything else away but it is so romantic, the bedroom scenes are steamy so not one for the kids to read ;) This was another fantastic book to the series and is my favourite series to date. I have been following the The Bradens series by Melissa Foster, and was kinda excited for this one. I’m a divorced mom with two kids, and I’ve pretty much focused on making a life for them, exclusively, since the divorce. When I read Brianna and Hughes story was jut the kind of romantic tale I needed to read!Hugh and Bree make a great love connection; he is enthralled with her from the very first time he lays eyes on her at the restaurant where she waitresses. Even though she doesn’t wait on the edgy race car driver, turning his table over to another waitress, Hugh Braden is still intrigued.Brianna is determined to make a stable, protected life for her baby girl, and that does not involve any romantic ventures. So far she’s been successful. Until Hugh Braden crashes all of that resolve, and cares for her daughter too.I really like Hugh Braden, although from the glimpses of him in the books prior, I thought of him as a lady’s man. In Hearts at Play, we find out Hugh’s tough exterior can be broached, and in a big way. He’s huge on sexy and on caring. The youngest Braden man wraps this series up with a bang.I received this book in return for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
