Playing Mr. Perfect: Clay Braden

The Bradens at Ridgeport, Book 1

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: Savannah Peachwood, Christian Fox

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.

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.

**THE BRADENS AT RIDGEPORT

Playing Mr. Perfect

Sincerely, Mr. Braden

Clay & Pepper!!!❤️❤️❤️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Super Enjoyed this Beautiful Romance Story!! Loved the voice actors!! I’m so glad that I stumbled upon this Gem.

True Sexy Lifetime Love!

Both narrators drew me into the story - Christian Fox has a divinely sexy voice & Samantha Peachwood did well on all but her male voices; they just sounded almost creepy.

The big family support on both sides was so great, & the romantic, sexy times were extremely well done. I do love the dirty talk!

I’ll listen to more of this series!

There's no one I'd rather call mine than you.

I thought I had swooned enough over the book, but no. I was proven wrong by Mr. Christian Fox. And if I thought Pepper was strong in writing, I was not ready for Ms. Savannah Peachwood either.

Listening to this audiobook was a delight, and my romantic heart is very full!

Quarterback Clay Braden has been pining for Pepper for a while, but the workaholic scientist wants nothing to do with him, especially since his reputation as "Mr. Perfect" and a ladies’ man precedes him.

However, when they’re both in Paris for an event, he sees his chance. The things he says and does, along with his charm, make it impossible for her to resist him.
Christian Fox was perfect. The longing, the want, the need to be with this woman he sees as the only one who’s right for him… and especially his unwillingness to give up even when she does her best to try to keep him away were all there in his voice.

Pepper allows herself to let go and just be with him in Paris. I really loved her monologues and the should I or shouldn’t I. Her insecurities are understandable and relatable, as are her fears, and I loved how Savannah played her and how she was able to showcase the way she becomes more and more confident as time goes by, both in herself and in what they have.

Obviously, what happens in Paris doesn’t stay in Paris. And obviously, Clay is all in. Everything he does to show her she’s his girl… It’s right out of dreamland. She just has to allow herself to be loved.

The chemistry between them incinerated my earbuds. It was a real connection, with fun and flirty banter, some push and pull, intimate moments where secrets were exchanged in deep conversations, and a lot of sunrises that mean a lot with the right person.

More than just opposites attract, it was two people bringing out the best in each other.

A heartfelt story played by two incredibly talented narrators that will make you feel very single but also dream about meeting your own Mr. Perfect—one who’s perfect just for you, of course :)

I LOVED IT!

I absolutely loved this book, what a start to the new series! It had all the feels (drama, humor and romance). The narration was outstanding! It will keep you entertained! The author did an amazing job with the character builds and plot! I love this author's way of keeping you in touch with the previous characters! I look forward to reading more books in this series!
