Sincerely, Mr. Braden
The Bradens at Ridgeport Series
by Melissa Foster
Blurb:
Come along for the fun, sexy ride as this business-savvy, pleasure-oriented billionaire gets the shock of his lifetime and finds out his ever-efficient virtual assistant is not the man he thinks he is but a beautiful businesswoman who knows many of his secrets and has some of her own in Sincerely, Mr. Braden.
You know what they say about best-laid plans…
When the chance to finally meet my virtual assistant arises, I jump on it. Imagine my surprise when I find his beautiful sister Eleanor in his place.
The moment I meet Ellie Mitchell, my world shifts.
What was supposed to be a brief hello with my assistant turns into an unforgettable weekend with an incredible woman.
I’ve spent a lifetime keeping people at arm’s length and walking away unscathed, but Ellie obliterates every wall I’ve ever built.
What I learn next shatters my world.
I don’t know which betrayal cuts deeper: The lie she told me or the truth that I still want her.

Review:
Like most of Foster’s stories, it’s the characters that kept me turning the pages. What do you mean the MMC is a dirty talker in little nerdy glasses and quirky clothes, with a too big brain? And he’s found himself a delightful FMC that truly appreciates all of that and his humongous heart. I love that for him and the fact that he’s pretty quick to realize what he’s got right in front of him.
But as much as I love Seth, it’s really Taylor’s story. She’s struggling with a lot between caring for her dad and the fact that she’s never really gotten over the way her mom left. She has the support of her sister but she hasn’t really let herself relax. Until her weekend with Seth …
I’m not a huge fan of intentionally lying as a trope. I get why Taylor kept her identity secret and it plays out pretty smoothly but it just isn’t my favorite. I do think that Foster does a good job with setting us up. We understand how Taylor gets here and why she feels like this is her only option. I also think that the reveal and aftermath are handled well. It doesn’t go too long and is resolved in a pretty believable way. There’s a little bit of angst and some trouble coming their way but it works. And I love to see them as a couple, supporting each other and their loved ones, meshing their two lives together. So very satisfying.
