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?. .Read the full LOVE IN BLOOM series:SNOW SISTERSSisters in LoveSisters in BloomSisters in White.THE BRADENSLovers at Heart (Treat & Max)Destined for Love (Rex & Jade)Friendship on Fire (Josh & Riley)Sea of Love (Dane & Lacy)Bursting with Love (Savannah & Jack) Hearts at Play (Hugh & Bree) .THE REMINGTONSGame of Love (Dex) - Releasing February 17, 2014Stroke of Love (Sage) - Releasing March 10, 2014Flames of Love (Siena) - Releasing March 31, 2014Slope of Love (Rush) - Releasing April 21, 2014Read, Write, Love (Kurt) - Releasing May 12, 2014Review"Contemporary romance at its hottest.

Brianna and Layla were very unexpected characters who also turned out to be so much more than I ever imagined they would be. I hope you fall in love with them as much as I have. .Hearts at Play is the ninth book in the Love in Bloom series and the sixth book of The Bradens.
