*** ARC KINDLY provided by the AUTHOR in exchange for a HONEST REVIEW ***
Kelley Martin is a new author to me. I randomly found her and her soon to be released book on a reading group I joined on Facebook. As soon as I saw the blurb I was drawn in and needed this book ASAP.
This book is a short novella that is packed with so much passion, heat and longing. The first 50% we get to know the lead characters Tennessee and Caroline and how they met. The night unfolds to how they actually get married and soon the next morning they don't remember anything. Caroline - an ex stripper and Tennessee - a rock legend find themselves in a hiccup that their not sure can be undone. Especially when you marry someone famous and things could get broadcast.
These two are trying to remember why they got married and you're screaming at them to figure it out faster because those darn sparks they had were beyond perfect. These two were meant for each other and when they wake up after a drunken night they don't remember why and you desperately are turning the pages until they figure it out again. There is a HEA and I loved it and it was everything I wanted.
Even though this is a fast paced novella it was loaded with just the right amount of information and flows perfectly. There is not much angst and when the couple runs into slow drama its easily figured out which makes these two once again perfect for each other! Making this an enjoyable and steamy 5 star read!

I would say this was "rockstar-lite". It's a novella. It was pretty predictable but I didn't mind. I found it to be a good time filler while I was waiting for my kid.

I liked it. It was definitely a quick read.
Tennessee is a rock star who's rose colored glasses have come off, leaving him disenchanted with the lifestyle.
Caroline is trying hard to keep her family afloat, by any means necessary.
They meet during a low time for both of them. They have a quick connection, one that leads to a drunken quickie marriage. One they both wake up to not remembering.
I like that Ten chased her, he never waivered in wanting a 'them'.
The only thing that made me cringe was some of the sex scenes, they were slightly over raunchy.
I hated to come to the end of the book, I definitely wanted more.

I really enjoyed reading this novella. The author has a way of writing that makes you invested in the characters and the story.
I loved Ten, and wished there was more of his back story to read about.
Caroline was also really likeable.
I actually genuinely believed in their relationship from the start.
There were a few small details I didn't enjoy but for the most part, loved the story.

This book was awesome! The characters were well built and in-depth. I expected Ten to be a jerk and was happily surprised that he was everything but one. Caroline was real and modern. This novella is a fast paced easy to read book that kept you hooked from start to finish.

Nice quick steamy book.

This was so quick and easy to read! With a charming hero, a feisty heroine, and several sex scenes packed into the 125 pages, it was nice and naughty train read that I really enjoyed. So much so that I gave it 4 stars.
That is, until I realised something. This blog is called Love in a time of Feminism, so you'd imagine we'd like ladies with substance round here. On the surface, there is a bit of that; Caroline doesn't take shit from men, and she's determined to support her retired mother and student brother. But dig a little deeper, and what do you find? A heroine with conveniently no dreams or aspirations of her own. Not once was what she wants in her future really discussed, aside from where she wants to live. Makes it super convenient for her to give up her life, doesn't it? And let's not forget the classic alpha male move of "I WANT TO PUT A BABY IN YOU".
That being said, I did like reading it as mindless entertainment. So I'll let it have three stars.This review was originally posted on Love in a time of Feminism

This book is the first book of Kelley R Martin’s that I have read. Because of this, I didn’t know what to expect. I found the writing style easy to follow and the characters loveable. I read this book in one sitting and wasn’t once bored. This book is a short, fast paced romance.
The chemistry between Tennessee and Caroline was clear to see. I liked their banter and playfulness. I liked them as a couple and liked the outcome of their drunken decisions.
The epilogue for this book is super cute. I liked the conversation between Tennessee and his daughter Kennedy.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I hope this becomes/is a series because I really want to read Sawyer’s story!

Original review: A Novel Glimpse
I wasn’t immediately drawn into reading Perfect Ten by the blurb. I’m not always big on rockstar romances, but I decided to give it a shot because I am a fan of Kelley R. Martin’s romances. I loved Knockout Love series. I was pleasantly surprised by Perfect Ten. Despite sounding like it might completely revolve around sex, there was a ton of courting and build up. I was amazed at how much considering this was a novella.
Perfect Ten was really cute, kind of sweet, and pretty funny. It was a blast to read. I would recommend it if you’re looking for a quick, fun romance to read.

quick easy read about a drunken night in Vegas, where two people who feel an instant connection get married. she doesn't know he is a rock God and he doesn't know she is an ex stripper. it all hits the news waves and they have to deal with all the media circus. one thing is for sure he doesn't want to get an annulment or divorce and she doesn't either. So they decide to give it a go. No real drama.

This was a fun read that didnt last long. Cute story. Loved the characters. This Autor really blows my mind, because I dont think she knows how to write a bad book. So far all the bookss Ive read of hers are great. She has a great way of making the characters and the story real for me. I always love the conversations she writes between the H and h.
Kelley please write more books!!!

Super quick
This a super quick easy read, and if that's what you're looking for then read this book. It's a novella so don't expect it to have character building, it was like watching a 30 min show compared to a movie, short but you still like it.

Pretty good
I think this is maybe the second book I have read from this author and I wasn’t disappointed. I really liked how even though it was a short story it flowed pretty nicely. The smex was hot, the chemistry was sweet and the epilogue was a nice ending. Great job!!

I loved it. It was short, hot and sweet. I love the rocker romances without cheating and bucket loads of drama.

This is a novella I could recommend. The flow, while needing to be crammed into such few pages, worked out well.
