However, she seems to be going out of her way to avoid him.Brianna Heart is a single mom to six year old, Layla.  Determined to be the best mom she can be, Brianna vows not to get involved with anyone until Layla turns eighteen.  With the memories of her father leaving when she was a little girl, Brianna is steadfast on making Layla’s childhood a happy one … even if that means sacrificing her happiness to achieve it.  But when Hugh continues showing up at Old Town Tavern, he makes it hard for her to avoid him and keep to her original plan.  Will Brianna realize that she can find love with another without sacrificing her daughter’s happiness?  And will Hugh slow down long enough to see if Brianna is the one worth racing to the finish line for?Hearts at Play is the ninth book in the Love in Bloom series.  What makes this book stand out from the others in the series is that the heroine is a single mother.  I like how the author portrayed her as a caring, strong, hard-working woman, but at the same time showing that she’s human and has her insecurities too.  I also loved Hugh’s character.  Who wouldn’t love a hot racecar driver who is just as compassionate as he is sexy?  Another amazing, must read book by Melissa Foster!
