The Perfect Man
Two very different sisters, Mia (still in love with Alejo, the married father of her daughter) and Britt (the ice maiden, who has ironically written a romantic bestseller), join a luxury honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean where Britt is the guest lecturer. Also on board are recently widowed Leo, still reeling from the discovery of his wife's betrayal just before her death, and Steve, a ship's officer who's soon looking for more than a holiday romance with Mia. Can Steve replace Alejo and is there any chance that Britt and Leo can see that they really should get together? When the characters head for home - Mia to Spain, the others to Dublin - it seems that all romantic options are off, especially as Leo rashly got engaged to glamorous, man-eating Pippin while at sea. But love has a way of triumphing in Sheila O'Flanagan's novels, even if it takes till the very last page...

About the author
Sheila O'Flanagan
95 books1,201 followersAs you can see, a Dubliner all my life. My parents owned a grocery shop in the Iveagh Markets, in the Liberties area of the city and I guess city blood runs through my veins.
As a child I enjoyed reading and telling stories and everyone thought that I end up in a job which had something to do with books and literature. But though I applied for a job in the library all of the job offers I got were in commerce.
I turned down lots of them before my mother accepted one for me (I was on holiday at the time). It was in the Central Bank of Ireland and that’s how my career in financial services began.
I started out in administration and then moved jobs until finally I was working as a dealer in a commercial bank. Eventually I was promoted to Chief Dealer (the first female CD in the country). I traded lots of different things – foreign exchange, swaps, options, bonds…all of the kind of things you read about in the papers and that sound very technical and difficult. Of course once you’re doing it, it’s not half as technical as it sounds.
But I still loved reading and writing (which I did in my spare time) and I desperately wanted to write my own book. I guess I never quite got over the fact that I was never offered the library job! In my thirties I decided that it was now or never and I sat down, stuck Chapter 1 on a page, and started. I wrote the whole thing before sending it off.
I was offered a publishing deal (with no advance) by an Irish company but only if I wrote a different book! So back to the drawing board, I started again. It was another two years before it was published. It wasn’t until I’d written a few books and was offered a contract (this time with an advance!) from another publisher that I felt able to give up my trading job and write full time. So, even though it took a long time, I eventually realised my dream of being a full-time writer.
And now I also write a business column for the Irish Times.
When I’m writing a book I want to do three things:
* Tell a good story
* Make the reader feel like they know the characters
* Make each book better than the last
I don’t write for any particular audience but I suppose I must have people like me in mind – people who have busy lives and who like to escape into someone else’s for a while.
I love writing books. I hope you enjoy reading them.

This book was totally okey. I enjoyed it but it wasn´t amazing. It is a very long story, too long for what actually went on in the book. I usually can´t put books down when I start to read but this book was just too slow. It felt like it didn´t really happened much so I felt myself have a bit problem to finish it. I just kept thinking about the next book I wanted to read and that is never a good sign. But it wasn´t bad. I really enjoyed the way the two sisters worked on their relationship and got closer to each other. But there was not all that much romance in the book. I thought there would be more since it was implied at the cover (at least in my opinion it was). Any who. Absolutely readable but not a "go out and buy it right now" kind of book!

A longish book, but as it was such a pleasing and easy read and set on a cruise ship I harbour no grudge against the length. I will be looking for more cruise books as they’re soo much fun, and eager to read another novel by Sheila O’Flanagan as this was my first by this author and I enjoyed it immensely.
The author has created a compelling storyline with a fabulous set of characters and the locations around the Caribbean were beautifully described.

The Perfect Man tells the story of Britt and Mia McDonagh, two sisters who have totally opposite opinions when it comes to love. Britt, whose debut novel The Perfect Man was an instant success, doesn’t believe in romance since her marriage broke up but Mia, single mother to Allegra, believes in The One and is still in love with her ex, Alejo.
The two sisters go on a cruise, a ship named Aphrodite, to speak about Britt’s book and meet Leo, who is hiding a heart break and Steve, who works on the ship. Nothing seems to happen until they all go home (to Dublin and Spain) and they all have to take risks if they want a happy future.
I absolutely loved The Perfect Man. The cover, the writing, the characters… it was all fabulous. It’s quite a chunk of a book – large paperback version has just over 500 pages, but there’s never a dull moment. It reads like a dream and you could imagine all of the beautiful locations described.
Books set in foreign places are always high up on my list of books to read and I thought it very unique that over half of The Perfect Man was set on a cruise around the Caribbean. The descriptions of the ship as well as all of the places the ship docks are very well described by Sheila. I’ve never been on a ship but reading about the Aphrodite makes me want to go on a cruise!
The rest of the book alternates between Dublin, where Leo and Britt live, and Sierra Bonita in Spain where Mia and Allegra live. Sierra Bonita is very well described and sounds like a beautiful Spanish town.
For once, I loved all of the characters in the book. Shelia didn’t write any of them as a villain, except maybe Alejo but he really he was more of a minor character. I liked Mia and thought it was great how, even though the love of her life had left her, she still believes in love and The One. Britt’s hesitancy with love and all things romance, as well as her potential career change, was also well written and I could see both sisters perspective on their views of love. Britt’s changing opinion on love was very well done by Sheila. Leo was the main man on board the ship and had a very sad tale to tell. I kept trying to second guess what exactly had happened and was pleased we didn’t have to wait until the end of the book to find out exactly what happened. Steve, I felt, wasn’t a main character but he was prominent to the story. I liked him and I wish he’d appeared more!
Britt, Mia and Leo had complex but very interesting back stories and as we got further into the book we learnt all about what they’d faced. Britt’s failed marriage was an interesting one – she came across as cold during the first part of the book so there was only one obvious conclusion as to why her marriage might have failed. It was interesting to find out I was wrong and, actually, Britt was lovely. Mia back-story was great, too, and I liked the scenes in Antigua Guatemala which helped fill in Mia’s story with Alejo. As I mentioned, Alejo is a bit of a villain and I didn’t really like him. Leo’s was the most interesting as I mentioned above.
There were a few minor characters, the main minor character being the Costello family who were also on board Aphrodite. Even though Sheila could have made Pippin, the Costello’s daughter, really nasty I felt that Pippin was actually lovely. Usually models in books are written as stupid and nasty but not Pippin. I’m glad that she got her happy ending.
The Perfect Man was really well written and switched easily from Mia’s to Britt’s to Leo’s perspective. It was a really great read, with a fabulous set of characters as well as great descriptions of some beautiful places. I wholly recommend it!

I was initially sceptical of reading this book due to the title, but quickly discovered it is 'tongue in cheek' and became thoroughly engrossed in this engaging and humorous story.

Not for me

Ongeveer een week voor we zelf op een cruise gingen, was ik in dit boek begonnen. De perfecte start van mijn vakantie, want door dit boek kwam ik al in een vakantiestemming. Vooral het begin, wanneer de hoofdpersonen op het cruiseschip zijn. Ik heb wel van dit boek genoten. Het heeft een aantal slechte reviews. Daardoor was ik bang dat het boek zou tegenvallen. Gelukkig viel het mee. Ik heb wel betere boeken van Sheila O’Flanagan gelezen. Toch was deze ook zeker leuk. Ook ben ik blij dat Mia voor zichzelf gekozen heeft. Wat me verder aansprak is de relatie tussen de twee zussen.

I enjoy a mindless romance...its a good escape. but man, this one went on wayyyy too long.. half the time all i could think was "get to the f%$&*! point!!"
i enjoyed it, but kept reading cause I NEEDED to know what was going on.. but she did it in a long drawn out annoying way. Don't recommend it, but I've read worse

for me to linger so long over a book it must be quite bad. I love Sheila O'Flanagan but this book was her worst I've come across. in the end I had to throw in the towel. life is too short to read bad book
March 30, 2018
I started reading Sheila O’Flanagan’s books last year. I’ve read 17 of them now. The Perfect Man was the 14th book in a row I’ve read by her and the first where I’ve given less than 3 stars. Most of her books I’ve given 4 or 5 stars. I did not like any of the characters at all in The Perfect Man. I guessed who was going to end up with who from the start of the cruise in the story. I did enjoy the first half of the book learning about the characters’ back stories as that was secret and kept me enthralled and wondering what on earth happened to them in their relationships and after finding out I lost all interest but had to keep reading, but I really didn’t care what happened to them which is why I skim read the last 100 pages. Onto number 15 in a row now, Stand By Me, which sounds really good 👍😊

Kikapcsolódáshoz jó volt, de nem kell tőle semmi komolyat várni, mondhatni egy szokványos romantikus történet. Néha kicsit soknak találtam az önmarcangolást és önbizonyítást.
Egy testvérpár két hetet tölt egy luxushajón. Mindkettőjük munka miatt vesz részt az utazáson, de persze kiélvezik az utazás nyújtotta örömöket is. Az együtt töltött idő miatt a viszonyuk javul, közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz. Az idősebb, Brit egy sikeres ügyvéd, aki egy sikeres romantikus regény szerzője. Húga, Mia alkalmi munkákból élő egyedülálló anya. Mindketten keresik a boldogságot és életük szerelmét. Megtalálják a tökéletes férfit?

I found this book hard going. I kept at it as I wanted to know how it ended, but I didn't really warm to either of the characters and the book really only picked up in about the last quarter. I think it could've a much shorter book - there were a fair amount of superfluous scenes that could've been cut. Although I had to smile towards the end when it was 27 degrees in Dublin, and they were saying it was 'stifling' and 'very hot', and I thought to myself 'try 37 degrees (which is pretty normal in an Australian summer) and then you'll know what hot really is!'

Feels a bit harsh to give it just one star but I considered it...! It could have been half the length and been a much better book. I felt like it repeated itself a lot and have quite a bit of unnecessary story in it. It was a drag to read and the only reason I finished instead of giving up is because I can’t not complete something once I’ve started!

I don't usually leave bad reviews but - reading this book, I thought I'd picked up a Mills and Boon by mistake. OFlanagan's book are usually ok but this one is just way too much 'needing to have a man' orientated for me. Not sure I'll be too fussed on reading any more of her books to be honest. It's a no from me.
December 13, 2017
Solid 3.5 stars! Great story line and loved the fact it was on a ship however must admit found this book to drag and repeat a lot. I was so confused with who would end up with who that I didn't get to enjoy the tension leading up to the romance!
September 18, 2018
Solid book with a nice storyline (I gotta admit that I love books about books/authors), but in the end I was glad that it was finally over, which is not the best sign. No regrets, and an easy read during vacation, but that's about it.

Felt that the book was dragging on for a little while but everything did seem to come together at the end but felt like Britt could have had more time with him before agreeing to date

While I enjoyed the story, it felt like it took a long time to get through it. I would’ve liked more of the couples’ stories instead of so much about the cruise activities.

Have read better from Sheils it was too drawn out
October 28, 2013
This is the first of Sheila's novels that I have read. It's been on my book shelf for a while (benched due to getting my kindle) but every time I looked at the shelf this one kept catching my eye. I read through this in about 3 days, even taking it to the office to read at lunch time, after finding that I couldn't put it down which is testament to how good it actually is.
The story follows Mia and Britt as they embark on a Valentine's cruise in the Caribbean on the Aphrodite ship. Both of the sisters are very different to each other, both in their personalities and their stories. The characterisation is done well in that it is easy to relate to both of the characters and to empathise with their individual situations. I also found it quite easy to like all of the characters, especially Mia and Britt.
Mia is the romantic one out of the two, with a flame still burning for a past love. She's a single mum and all her thoughts and actions must consider her daughter. Britt is a high flying divorce lawyer, known for landing big settlements for her clients. She became a novelist by mistake and now has to make her readers believe she buys the whole flowers and romance scene although she is adamant that romance is for the weak. Although Mia and Britt are the main characters there is also Leo, another single passenger aboard Aphrodite. Leo also has had misfortune when it comes to love and is dubious himself as to whether the perfect woman exists, never mind the perfect man.
The story is written in the 3rd person and is mainly told from Mia, Britt or Leo's perspective. Each of these characters has a past. Sheila alludes to each one throughout the start of the book but doesn't go into detail until later on. This adds a bit of mystery which I found was one of the reasons this was so un-put-downable as I always wanted to keep reading to find out what the full story was behind each character. Emotion flows through the book as these 3 single passengers on a Valentine cruise are reminded about their pasts and find themselves facing up to them.
The story flicks between present and past as each other characters recount their situations and each of them think about what difference doing things differently would have made. The three main characters become entwined throughout the story, helping each other to face up to the past and decide on their futures.
For the most part the story is told while the characters are on the cruise itself. This really appealed to me as I am going on a cruise this year and have also been before so I really enjoyed this setting. However it is also set in Dublin and Spain. Sheila's detailed description of the settings in this story adds further to the story but also to the characters as the settings appear to back up each of their thoughts on romance, which is a big theme in this story, and their personalities.
Overall I really enjoyed this book from the start finding that I couldn't put it down and was always eager to find out what the story behind each character was. I could never tell what was going to happen next which I also thought was good as in some stories it is evident who is going to end up with whom and so on but not in this one. I would also say this was a good holiday read due to its fabulous setting on board the ship.

This story starts by introducing us to Britt and Mia who are sisters. Sisters who are polar opposites and have been thrown together onboard a cruise ship, for two whole weeks. Britt used to be a lawyer handling divorce cases, which as a bitter and complete unromantic, suited her down to the ground. When her marriage broke up Britt turned to writing and surprisingly managed to churn out Ireland's most romantic novel that was an instant hit. Being thrust into the limelight as the most unlikely romantic author, Britt has to attend a workshop onboard the ship giving talks on how to write your own romantic novel. Her agent has an unfortunate accident meaning her sister Mia is left to accompany her on the tour.
Mia has a young child and lives in Spain, following her own romantic troubles. The two sisters have never been that close and being thrown together for two weeks tests their limits and their relationship. The cruise ship starts the ball rolling for both of them in completely different directions as they meet Leo, the heartbroken widower who is struggling to move on with his life. Also onboard is the ships officer Steve who seems to take a shine to both sisters. They also meet Pippin, a glamorous wannabe model who is all blonde hair and gleaming teeth. The story throws all of them together and makes for some extremely surprising events. When the cruise ends they think that things will return to normal but as Britt end up having to remodel her house she decides to stay with Mia in Spain for a while which makes them both re-evaluate their life and choices.
When I first started reading it, unusually it took me three or four chapters to get into this, which had me worrying that; maybe she had lost her touch. Luckily I was wrong and by chapter 5, I was as usual engrossed with Sheila O'Flanagan's latest book. As usual she has created a really strong storyline with characters that you will love. Definitely one to read!

Story Description:
All aboard the Aphrodite and sail through the Caribbean with the best-selling author Britt McDonagh & her sister Mia. For Britt, it’s her worse nightmare. After the surprise success of her book, The Perfect Man, she is billed as an expert on love. But since her marriage broke down, Britt’s pretty certain that the perfect man doesn’t exists anymore. Her sister Mia, however, believes in love and soulmates and believes that she already met hers. But these two sisters are to learn, that in order to love again, they have to leave the past behind…
My Thoughts:
I thought this was a good read. I loved how O’Flanagan described everything to do with the cruise. It actually made me feel like I was on board as well. And I really liked the ending with Britt and Leo. I thought it was really sweet. Just one thing I would have liked was to see how things ended up for Mia. I felt a little cheated by O’Flanagan as she didn’t really complete her story.
