"This book had such heartwarming characters that I connected with instantly. I couldn't wait to read more about them and see how their story would develop. I really enjoyed the authors writing style, it really captured my attention from page 1."

"This one was a TRULY good read. I loved how real this book was. It was not your average rom com. You got to see the whole picture with this story. ... The book really connected to me, sucked me in. I really felt emotions as I read, and I could not be happier about finding this wonderful book and enjoying as I did."

"Oh my, who hasn't been in Bree's place. This book is an entertaining look at the world of romance from the point of someone trying to keep an eye out for commitment. This author has done a terrific job of writing a romance that feels realistic. The humor, the pain and the romance all mesh together to create the perfect romance."
More about As Close to Perfect from the back cover...
She’s definitely attracted to his type and he seems as close to perfect as a guy could get. Only problem, she’d sworn off dating hot, muscled, athletic types for good.
Wronged by a string of jocks, Bree creates a hard rule: no dating athletes. Further, she enacts a list of other guidelines to protect a fragile heart. As per the rules, coffee meetups don’t count as dates, lunch doesn’t count as a date, there will be no physical displays of affection until after a real date, and no sex until he commits to an exclusive relationship.
Enter Nate. Tall and muscular with deep blue eyes and dark hair, he’s the perfect clone for the guys that hurt her before. If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck, right?
Enter Steven. She could not have ordered a more perfect person. Okay, so he is muscular, but not too tall. Be he’s also focused on his career. Definitely the mature man she’s been looking for.
When Bree allows herself to give in to her feelings, sparks fly. They’re happier than could be imagined. But being a couple is about more than just the two of them. Family, religion, location, and money all factor in.
Can they meet in the middle?

As Close to Perfect Selected quotes
Today I thought I'd share some fun quotes from As Close to Perfect....
Bree is the MC and she's been hurt by a string of athletic type guys.
"Actually, yes, I will put Jonathan in the catastrophe category, but Dominque needs to be cast into a global-cataclysm pile. Because that’s what happened to my heart. It was like a meteor crashed into me and left a crater the size of the Vredefort. Maybe the fact that I know which crater is the largest on earth is why those two relationships wrecked. That’s it, you’re too damned smart. Not smart enough to spot a player though."
Her meet cute with one of the potential love interests in the book.
“Chicken fried rice.” The attendant sets a bag in the window. I reach for the bag, but another hand enters my field of view. Retracting my arm, I step back. “Sorry. I thought that was mine.” “Did you have chicken fried rice? It could be.” He raises his palms. His thick accent catches me off guard, and I glance up at his face. Wide blue eyes hold my gaze. What is it about bright blue eyes ringed with dark lashes against light skin that draws me in? I take in his tall, muscled physique. Nope. No dating athletes. “Go ahead. I’m sure another will be up in a minute.” He takes a step back.
Find out if Nate could be the one... it may be too early to tell.
