Discover the magic of the Bradens, and fall in love with Addison Cole's rich and romantic storytelling. Addison Cole is the sweet-romance pen name of New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

Brianna Heart has a six-year old daughter and a twelve-year plan to keep her life as simple as possible until Layla turns eighteen. That means swearing off relationships and the drama that goes along with them, working two jobs, and being the best mother she can be.
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?
And Then There Was Us is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language.

Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden. But how could she ignore the six-foot-three darkly handsome god who tagged and researched sharks for a living—and made every nerve in her body tangle into an overly sensitive knot? Even her fear of sharks could not suppress their intense attraction.
As founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.
More than a year—and hundreds of flirty texts, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.

Review: I always try to preface my reviews of Addison Cole's novels with this bit of advice. "If you haven't read Addison yet, please start now." I have read so many of them and they really seem to get better and better.
I love her characters and Brianna is probably the most "real" heroine she's written so far. She's a single mom doing her best to make ends meet. Hugh Braden is a Grand Prix racer and though he's as hot as McDreamy, Brianna isn't about to be taken in by his pretty face. Only, well, she is even though she doesn't want a relationship because she doesn't want to cause problems for her young daughter.
I loved these two so much. Hugh and Brianna are definitely my favorite Braden couple. I especially loved Layla's name for Hugh, "The handsome prince."
Hugh really is a fairy tale hero in this story. He's got that "too good to be true" vibe going on. That's not a bad thing here. It fits. He's perfect. That's why it makes the conflict so good, because Brianna is so cautious. Too cautious to be honest. She'll make you want to wallop her a few times, when she starts overthinking things. Again, that's what makes her character so real and relate-able.
Bree also has a fabulous support system in her friend Kat, her mom and her boss, Mack. All of them care deeply for her.
This book is a little more of a slower burn than Addison's other books. I also love that Bree and Hugh weren't a second chance couple. It was full of "feels" on Bree's side of the story too. Expect a lot of "Awwww." moments.
This book was in a word. PERFECT! (And definitely one of Addison's best)
