Imperfect for you
Not yet published
Expected 6 Jan 26Two imperfect people. One perfect love.
Duke Parker’s life has been years of unrelenting order. Meticulous schedules and forced similarity–it’s the only thing that’s helped him avoid being swallowed by the consuming guilt of an incident nine years ago that rearranged his entire world. Unable to put it off any longer, Duke agrees to be Senior Pilot of the newest semi-private division of his family’s multi-billion-dollar airline, Greenway Airlines.
The only problem? He’s going to have to break his perfect routine to find help for his nine-year-old twin boys. By adding someone new into his life he was prepared for mild turbulence–not love.
Recent Churchill University grad Sienna Johns is desperate to unshackle herself from her people-pleasing past. After turning down a senior-level position at her father’s world-renowned sports agency, she decides for the first time she’s going to choose herself. With dreams of becoming a music playlist curator and a desperate need for self-discovery, Sienna finds herself at an open interview with Greenway Airlines heir Duke Parker.
What they don’t expect is to find a love so unique neither of their distant hearts would’ve seen it coming. Will the relationship they’ve developed be strong enough to withstand their connected past, or will an undiscovered secret threaten to ruin it all?

Imperfect for You is such a beautiful story, and it touches on so many themes that hit deep.
It features single dad × nanny, insecurities, close proximity, found family, fated love, and even a little age gap.
Duke fell at first sight, but of course he kept fighting it… until he couldn’t anymore.
I really loved how the author wrote Sienna’s insecurities — how she struggles to believe anyone would truly want or choose her, and how her father damaged her self-esteem. It felt raw and real.
Another thing that stood out for me is the Parker family dynamic. The way the Parker siblings and parents welcomed Sienna and how they’ve supported Duke in raising his boys? So wholesome.
Duke and Sienna’s love story is so beautiful to read, especially watching them communicate and work through their differences.
And that twist? I definitely didn’t see it coming.
This is a 4.5-star read, and I absolutely recommend it.

ARC REVIEW
“No one wakes up in the morning thinking that today is going to be their last day, but we also can’t risk non living each day as if it were our last.”
•
Imperfect for you is a romance stand alone book, here you’ll find:
🍬Single dad x Nanny
✈️Billionaire romance
✨Found family
💜No third act breakup
This was the author’s debut novel and I genuinely think she did a great job. The writing was smooth, engaging, and easy to fall into, which is something I always appreciate—especially from a debut.
Sienna is such a lovely character. She’s strong, sweet, and funny, but she’s also someone who’s been shaped to be the “perfect daughter” for her father, leaving little space for her to explore her own dreams or desires. I absolutely loved watching her grow throughout the book as she slowly finds her confidence and starts choosing herself. I do wish we had seen even more of that journey, but what was there felt heartfelt and real. Her relationship with the twins was adorable—I kept wanting more of their scenes because they were just that cute together.
Duke is stoic, reserved, and definitely a creature of habit, but underneath that structure is someone incredibly loyal, loving, and protective toward the people he cares about. I really enjoyed watching him gradually soften, allowing himself to step outside his routines and enjoy the small, messy moments of life.
Sienna and Duke’s relationship felt so genuine and—most importantly—healing. Yes, it starts with physical attraction, but it grows into something much deeper, intimate, and emotional. There were a couple of moments that felt a bit rushed to me, but overall their connection was beautiful to follow.
Lastly, I really enjoyed the supporting cast. I would’ve loved to see more of the dynamic between Sienna and Fia, but even without that, the side characters added warmth and charm to the story.
Overall, this was such a good book, especially for a debut, and I’m excited to see what the author writes next.

ARC review
4.5⭐|2🌶|15%🌶frequency
I'm glad I broke my ARC sign-up ban for this book 🤩
I would be very sad if I hadn't read it. I would have missed a wonderful book.
This book is Ken's debut novel, and she did a damn good job with it 👍
I instantly felt the connection between Duke and Sienna. And oh, did Duke fall first. Not just first but VERY fast. I would definitely say love at first sight for him.
I'm not saying Sienna didn't like Duke, she definitely did, I mean, he is a 🔥 pilot, who wouldn't like him? She just needed a bit more time to fall for him. But she fell for his twins instantly.
These two are really cute. They are almost zero troublemakers. Sure, they are 9-year-old boys, but still really well-mannered.
Who isn't well-mannered is Sienna's father 🤬 He tried to keep her small so she does whatever he wants from her. That's just how parenting works! That's gaslighting! And the thing he did after she left him 🤬 Honestly, that would have been a reason to sue him!
I'm so looking forward to reading the stories about Duke's three brothers.
I don't know if there will be a book about Jett & Fia, but I would love it. And I would love to know what happened between them the other night. So please let them be book 2 🤞

“You’re more than enough for me, Curls. No matter how fractured life has made you feel, you’re unblemished to me.”
First things first, thank you for the ARC. Second, what the hell did I just read? Because I couldn’t stop reading it. Duke and Sienna are perfectly imperfect; they are honest, very real, and very human. This is what sets them apart from many books I’ve read.
Our hero, Duke Parker, is a single dad to twin sons and has three brothers. To any outsider, Duke Parker seems perfect. And how could he not be? He’s a pilot for his family’s airline, and the seat of the acting CEO is waiting for him. But then why does he feel lonely and not enough for his sons, family, and brothers?
Yes, this is where you might have read many tropes about how he hates life because his ex-wife left him, and you might be right. But Duke is not hateful; in fact, he feels responsible for stringing along a drowning relationship. Yet, he runs away, or flies away in his case, to the seven skies every chance he gets. But his perfectly routine life gets ruined when his newly hired nanny appears at his doorstep.
Sienna Johns. She is the definition of a people-pleaser, one we meet in our lives. Underneath all the head down, tight lips, and very curly hair- often tamed by her father’s choices- is a girl who loves curating music. Not one for the limelight, Sienna rebels when her predetermined future is laid out by her father.
But she doesn’t know that her new boss craves her rebellious nature. He wants her to state precisely what she wants and how she wants it. You can definitely think dirty.
Duke is pushing for her to find her wings and soar the skies he often flies, but what they don’t know is that their heart belongs on the ground- in their home, surrounded by the people they love and chose to be in their lives.
This book had me pausing multiple times to digest the dialogue, the yearning, the confessions, and, of course, the smuttttttt.

You know a book is going to be good when you have to force yourself to stop reading at 2 AM so you can get some sleep.
A single dad, billionaire romance where he YEARNSSSSS for her? A man that yearns is a man that earnssss 🤑
I absolutely LOVED this book so much and Ken blew my mind with how beautifully written this book was. Literally left me sobbing and pining for more.
The story revolves around Sienna and Duke. They will have you gripping your chest with their past/current traumas and leave you only wanting the absolute best for them. They deserve that so much.
The tension, the instant direct deposit, the swooning… yeah, I need one of the Parker Brothers so badly.
Do yourself a favor and read this book when it releases. You won’t regret it. 💜

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review – Imperfect For You by Ken Blakely
I had the absolute pleasure of receiving both a beta read copy and an ARC of Imperfect for You — and I devoured them both! A huge thank you to my friend @asukiri169 for introducing me to Ken Blakely’s work, because now I’m officially obsessed.
This story grabbed me from page one and wrapped me in all the emotions. Sienna is exactly the kind of heroine I adore relatable, strong, hilarious, and someone you root for instantly. And Duke? Oh. My. Heart. He’s a swoony, single-dad pilot who falls first and falls FAST. His soft heart, protective nature, and the way he loves his daughter had me melting into a puddle.
Ken Blakely writes characters like they’re real people you know every side character shines, especially the kids. Their adorable moments added so much warmth to the story. And while we’re talking side characters… ROYCE. I am begging for his book next. Ken, if you see this: I’m waiting. Desperately. 😭❤️
The chemistry? Electric.
The banter? Perfection.
The love story? Real, healing, and heart-clutching in the best way.
And can we celebrate this?:
✨ No third-act breakup!
✨ Billionaire MMC
✨ Nanny/guardian grumpy x sunshine vibes
✨ Emotional depth paired with top-tier humor
✨ Spice that delivers 👀🔥
This book made me laugh, swoon, kick my feet, and tear up a little (or a lot). It’s the perfect balance of romance and real-life struggles, and when I finished, I genuinely wished I could experience it again for the first time.
Imperfect For You isn’t just a love story it’s about finding the person who meets you right where you are, flaws and all, and chooses you anyway.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves:
💙 Single dad romance
💙 Billionaire but soft MMCs
💙 Characters who heal each other
💙 Feel-good love with depth and spice
Ken Blakely has a new fan for life… and I’m already counting the days until the next book! 📚✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Soft, emotional, and surprisingly layered.
Imperfect for You is a heartfelt romance that explores insecurities, self-worth, and the courage it takes to choose yourself — even when love is on the line.
Duke and Sienna’s relationship develops slowly and thoughtfully, with strong communication and genuine emotional growth. I especially loved how Sienna’s insecurities were written — raw, realistic, and deeply influenced by her past. Duke’s quiet devotion and the way he shows up for both Sienna and his boys made him such a lovable MMC.
The Parker family dynamic was a huge highlight for me. The warmth, support, and found-family energy added so much depth to the story. And while this book leans softer emotionally, it still delivers a twist I genuinely didn’t see coming.
✨ Single dad pilot
✨ Nanny romance
✨ He falls first
✨ Found family
✨ Emotional but comforting
A strong debut and a great start to the Greenway Legacy series.
Thank you to the author and Love Notes PR for the ARC.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC review:
Imperfect for You completely consumed me from the very first page. I was hooked immediately and couldn’t put it down. Sienna and Duke felt undeniably fated—the kind of connection that just makes sense.
This was a beautiful story of self-discovery and healing. Watching Sienna learn who she truly is—with Duke quietly supporting her every step of the way—was incredibly moving. And Duke… the ultimate broken hero. He’s that MMC we all love and drool over—protective, tender, and impossible not to fall for.
Add in found family, an age gap, and then there’s the spice—because let’s be very clear… it was off the charts 🥵🔥
Emotional, addictive, and deeply satisfying, this book delivered on every level.
Imperfect for You was a truly beautiful story, and I can’t wait to see what else Ken Blakely has in store for us.
✨ Tropes: Broken hero, found family, age gap, self-discovery
🔥 Spice: Very spicy
❤️ Overall: Unputdownable and unforgettable

Review of advance copy received from Author
This was a cute story! The two main characters were well developed, and their chemistry was unreal! I appreciate how sassy the FMC is and how she unravels the MMC. Great job, Ken!

3.5 Stars
Ken Blakely hooked me right from the start. I was immediately intrigued by Sienna and eager to learn more about her, and Duke? He is completely down bad from the moment he meets her. The more he gets to know Sienna, the harder he falls and his protective, possessive devotion is definitely a highlight. I loved how reassuring he is when her insecurities surface and how firmly he refuses to let her think poorly of herself.
The twist near the end genuinely surprised me. I may have sensed something coming, but I wasn’t expecting a twist at all, which made it really effective. I did wish we had a bit more closure with Sienna’s dad. I would’ve loved to see Duke stand up for her, but the way it plays out also feels very realistic.
Overall, this is a solid, spicy read with an obsessed MMC. While I wished for a bit more emotional depth, if you’re in the mood for heat, devotion, and a protective love interest, this book definitely delivers.

First off, thank you Ken Blakely and Love Notes PR for allowing me to an ARC for Imperfect for You! ✈️
This story follows Duke and Sienna, Duke is a pilot looking for a nanny to help watch and care for his twin boys, Major and Marz. In comes Sienna, in need of a job with no prior nannying experience, she instantly captures the attention of Duke. Their relationship quickly turns tension-filled and their chemistry is off the charts!
Duke and Sienna are two souls who were destined to heal each other’s pasts and demons. I love how they brought out the best in each other and seeing their little unit become a family was so special. I also loved how Duke and Sienna were always so in tune with one another. It seemed as though they always knew what the other person needed.
Lastly, the filthy things that Duke says literally made my jaw drop 😂

The cover of this book is so cute and discrete that I wasn’t expecting the spice in this book and let me tell you, the spice here… oh my god!!! It was so good! Duke has a dirty and boss mouth while Sienna was all about exploring her new confidence with him and that mix was so good 😩🛐
This book was a very good surprise, the twins were so cute and I loved the bond they have with Sienna 🩵
I was so related to Sienna’s relationship with her dad because my father is kind of like Sienna’s father, and I know how exhausting and hard is when you have to morph into someone else just to fit into the unhealthy expectations of someone else, and it was so beautiful reading how Duke helped her to find herself, how he helped her to believe she was worthy of love and being cherished 🩵
I also loved Duke, I just wanted to dive in the book and hugging him because he was carrying with so many things, and he was so convinced that he didn’t deserve love or anything good until Sienna entered his life ✨❤️🩹
I can’t wait to keep reading about this characters ✨

ARC read! Thank you Love Notes PR ❤️
What a read! I had so much fun reading this book. It was full of emotion, laughter, and honesty.
25 year old Sienna is just graduating college and contemplating her life thus far. She really wants to break away from her controlling father whom dictates almost every aspect of her life. Her best friend suggests a fresh start and convinces her to interview for a nanny gig. Insert Duke Parker. Pilot and single dad of two nine year old twins. Billionaire and seeker of nanny by the way. Sienna lands on his doorstep and turns his world upside down.
I enjoyed this book so much. It was easy to read and lured me in. The writing provided emotional moments but also comedic relief. The characters all worked well together and also alludes to more stories left to share. (I can’t wait!)
Things get steamy so be prepared. Also be aware of trigger warnings before reading. :)
-Dual POV
-Nanny X Single Dad
-Age gap
-Forbidden Romance
-Two tortured souls
-Mess with her & get punched 💁🏻♀️
-Protective MMC
-Insecure FMC

I can’t even explain how much I love this book 🥹
Ken has done such an amazing job with this story, creating these characters and this family.
Sienna and Duke are so perfect, and I loved reading their journey through this book.
And the twins! Any one who knows me knows I love a single parent story, and this one was absolutely perfect.
Very excited to read their journey through rest of this series- Ken has truly done a fantastic job with this debut novel!
Highly recommend this book! Add it to your tbr!!

Review of advance copy
Thank you to LoveNotes PR, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.
This was such a perfect cozy weekend read. The writing is smooth and engaging, and the storyline flows beautifully, giving me a little bit of everything I wanted—romance, emotion, growth, and heart. The twist genuinely surprised me, and I really loved watching the younger FMC’s emotional growth unfold. Her journey felt authentic and rewarding.
The MMC was incredibly swoon-worthy and had me pining for more—he truly felt like the complete package. My only small wish, which is common for me with contemporary romance, is that we’d gotten more time with them after everything settles. I always want a little extra glimpse into their life once the happily-ever-after begins.
This was my first book by Ken Blakley, and it absolutely won’t be my last. I’ll be recommending this one!

This book was okay for me. I honestly would have rated it higher if I didn't find things that irritated me.
So the book's plot is good. The build up was was also good. The characters were okay but they irked me a bit especially MCs.
Sienna's personality was okay. I liked her more than Duke though. I do wish she was a little more confident in the beginning but you can see the confidence slowly growing.
Duke's personality really irritated me in the beginning but as I read on, I started to understand why he is the way he is.
I felt like this book was going in a good direction and I would have rated it like 4.5 but then came that one scene in chapter 34 and it basically ruined the vibe for me. Maybe for other people it is fine but in my perspective, the way i was brought up didn't really agree with this scene so I found it irritating.
Overall rating 3.6⭐️

This man. This man researched local candy makers for all the states he flew to and order the best one from each so she could try them
This felt like a more serious deep romance read for me. Not in a bad way. I really enjoyed reading this and the emotions that came with it. Definitely spicy moment and funny times with the emotion and intensity of this story.
I’m a sucker for a grumpy dad x nanny book and this one is definitely a goodie.
Add it to your 2026 TBR if you love a grumpy single dad. Spicy moments and family strength and struggles

Thank you to LoveNotes PR and Ken Blakely for the ARC and the opportunity to review Imperfect for You. I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to read the rest in the series!
Duke, a single father of twin boys, is looking for a nanny to help with taking care of them while he is away for work. Sienna, who is looking for away to not work for her father, goes on an impromptu interview and ends up getting the job.
The tension and chemistry between Duke and Sienna was everything and the relationship that she had with the boys was the cherry on top. I loved how Duke took care of Sienna, not only with helping her with her insecurities, but also by doing her hair to help embrace her natural self (swoon!!). Sienna also helps Duke get out of his "bland" way of living after his own traumas and helps him realize that there is so much more to live for.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
I loved how this relationship was built. They start with just physical attraction, kinda like attraction at first sight, but it grew and grew.
Sienna comes from a very complicated family where love was not something they demonstrated, and she carries with her many insecurities. Duke is a single dad who loves structure and everything that he is supposed to do but he needs to hire a nanny to help him with his twins.
Duke definitely is the one who felt first and hardest! The yearning... to die for. The tension, the little touches, everything was so good!
Also, the Parkers' family is something I would love to read more about. Like Jett and Fia... I need to read about them!
I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the next ones.

Prepare to be obsessed with Duke… Absolutely loved this book and the characters!! The story telling was engaging, entertaining, and heartwarming. Sienna is everything I needed in a female main character… I’ve never related to a character more. You will walk away feeling like you know these people personally with the way the author creates this new world. As soon as we meet the brothers, I already wanted them to have their own books. It’s the perfect mix of romance, humor, and real life experience!!! I want to read it for the first time again…

So happy I received this ARC! I love Ken Blakely’s writing style and the way she weaves a deep story line with amazing banter, tension, and spice. I fell in love with Duke, Sienna, and Duke’s family. Each character felt well developed and added to Duke and Sienna’s love story. Plus, there was a plot twist I was NOT expecting and I loved it! The ending left me melting in the sweetest way. If you want a billionaire romance done right, with lots of banter, well written spice, and lovable characters you will love Imperfect For You!

I’ve been so excited for this one and it did not disappoint. The story telling and build up was so so good and I loved the character development. Ken also did a great job getting readers excited for upcoming stories in this series about the other characters and the little crumbs of their life we got to see!!!

not sure how i finished, but i really didn’t like this book. the writing was questionable, the story was emotionally flat and the plot twist was pretty obvious.
i had high expectations for this and sadly i was pretty disappointed.
i’m leaving this review voluntarily and thanks to love note for the possibility to read this story.
