The Perfect Couple by Maura Seger was perfectly…boring.
The setup was in this category romance was actually great. We flip back through different times in Shane and Brenna’s relationship, the highs and the lows.
However, the love story was treacly-sweet. If I liked that sort of white-bread perfection, I’d read Nicholas Sparks, the gag-master extraordinaire.
Shane and Brenna have been a couple for some time. Despite their shared passion, their intrinsic differences threaten their love. Brenna is a down-to-earth type who likes her life carefully planned out. She wants a long-term relationship, but no children. Shane lives on the edge and wants a family.
Then Shane’s plane crashes and he is presumed dead. Brenna hopes for the best and looks back on their time together, wondering if they were too different to be together or if love is enough to overcome all their obstacles, even death. Shane does his valiant best to get back to Brenna before dying without seeing her one last time.
Maura Seger attempted to create something unique. A story about a couple in two different and parallel stages of their relationship. But the problems keeping them apart were mundane. There was never any doubt that Shane would make it back to Brenna. In the end, you know that they would make compromises to make their union last. The Perfect Couple was ok, but nothing exceptional.

This is my first romantic fiction novel. The author was my neighbor in CT. so it felt like she was actually talking to me. It is well written and humorous as well as romantic and sexy. The story takes place in Alaska and has very exciting plot twists and turns. The author has written many books in this genre of romantic fiction and historical fiction.

The fact that the guy on the cover reminds me of Chris Hemsworth (and I do love me some Thor or whatever part he happens to be playing), was the reason I picked up this book to begin with, but it was a really good book!
