Publisher Description

Quarterback Clay "Mr. Perfect" Braden is determined to show sexy scientist Pepper Montgomery the benefits of hands-on research in PLAYING MR. PERFECT, the first book in the Bradens at Ridgeport series by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, opposites-attract standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless.

What happens in Paris, stays in Paris, right?
Oh, Pepper. If only...


Okay, I admit it.

Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I’m in the City of Love, I’d had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts—two things I never buy into—and I threw caution to the wind.

I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he’s already up.

In more ways than one.

Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I’m not the woman he slept with last night is awkward.
Actually, he makes it impossible.

The thing is, I don’t even know who that woman was.

And now he’s determined to find out.

Sizzling hot!

Having met Pepper in other books from books in the Braden's / Montgomerys at Pleasant Hill series, it is fabulous to see her get her HEA. I absolutely loved this book. Clay was so sweet in pursuing Pepper, and Pepper innocent yet together their heat was scorching!

The quietest of the Montgomery siblings had a bad experience with relationships at college and let this keep her away from them and busy with work. She certainly did not have time for Mr Perfect, one of her Brother in Laws friends. Unfortunately, she did not factor in what a few days in Paris with her siblings and Clay, could do to to her plans and how he could be a large part of her future.

Once you start Playing Mr Perfect, you will not be able to stop. Although part of a larger series, you do not need to have read the other books to enjoy this one, however, on completion of this one you will want to read the others - and if like me, you'll also want to visit Paris.
