The Imperfect Series #1-3
Three full-length books at one low price. You’ll love these quirky rom coms full of zany characters, razor-wit, and laugh out loud moments.
Imperfect Chemistry
Lucy London puts the word genius to shame. Having obtained her PhD in microbiology by the age of twenty, she's amassed a wealth of knowledge, but one subject still eludes her—people. The pendulum of passions experienced by those around her confuses and intrigues her, so when she’s offered a grant to study emotion as a pathogen, she jumps on the opportunity.
Enter Jensen Walker, Lucy's neighbor and the one person she finds appealing. Jensen's life is the stuff of campus legend, messy, emotional, and complicated. Basically, the perfect starting point for Lucy's study. When her tenaciousness wears him down and he consents to help her, sparks fly. To her surprise, Lucy finds herself battling with her own emotions, as foreign as they are intense. With the clock ticking on her deadline, Lucy must decide what's more important: analyzing her passions...or giving in to them?
Imperfectly Criminal
Freya Morgan thought it was a great idea to hire the bad boy on campus to beat up her douchebag ex-boyfriend after he cheated and treated her like crap. Fast forward a few months, and nothing she’s done has helped her get over the scars left behind by her ex. Not the paid beating, not the string of dates, nothing.
Dean Collins is in trouble, and it’s all Freya’s fault. After all, she started the trend of all the ladies on campus paying him to do their dirty work. But now, two of the boys he was hired to beat up are dead, and he’s the only connection.
When Freya agrees to help him find the real killer, she discovers that this bad boy isn’t so bad, after all. And getting involved with him means more than finding a killer, it means potentially losing her life…and her heart.
Practically Imperfect
Gemma McDougall is certain about three things: One, she’s never going to lose her Latina ass. Two, her career is more important than the crappy (and nonexistent) relationships she’s had to endure her entire adult life. Three, she’s going to get the next promotion to detective if it kills her. But then her job literally almost kills her, and she’s forced into unwanted medical leave.
Sam London is certain about three things: One, he has no idea how to have a normal adult relationship and will likely die cold and alone, ravaged by wild dogs. Two, playing a game of Drinking Jenga, while fun, also leads to late nights sneaking into the neighbor’s yard and getting held at gunpoint by the neighbor’s daughter. Three, he has no idea what kind of trouble Gemma McDougall has gotten herself into, but he’s going to be a part of it, no matter what.

A cut above most NA
I don’t often enjoy reading NA being a bit out of that age bracket (although third book not really NA) but these books have been very entertaining.

>Book Review - The Imperfect Series 3 Book Bundle
>I am an independent reviewer. This bundle contains all 3 books in the series. Each book has its own HEA. Lucy is introduced in book 1 - Imperfect Chemistry. She is a child prodigy with a lot of smarts, but not any real grasp on her feelings or how to behave socially. Lucy's attempts at learning how to fit in are so humorous. She makes a few friends who realize her social ineptness and try to help her attract her cute neighbor, Jensen.
>Book 2 - Imperfectly Criminal, is a continuation of the story of Lucy's friend, Freya and her disaster our interactions with tough guy, Dean. This story line may contain triggers for some people due to a rape scene. Dean's story line unfolds slowly, but his character has so many layers that the reveal is fascinating. Freya is a naturally funny character, so this story still has a lot of humor even though Lucy isn't in a lot of it.
>Book 3 - Practically Imperfect, is about Lucy's over protective brother, Sam. Lucy's brothers are always a source of humor and this time is no different. The reader has an added bonus of witnessing the wedding of Jensen and Lucy. Sam meets up with an old neighbor, Gemma, who is now a cop. This story has the most mystery of the three books in the series. The story line is all wrapped up in this book and everyone gets their HEA.
>This series is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving each book in the set and the entire book bundle 5 stars. Fans of romance, mystery and a lot of humor will love this series.

Who wants perfect anyway
I enjoyed this series. Definitely good bang for my money. Three books featuring three different couples all interconnected.
The quirkiness of the characters appealed to me and I liked the fact that they were present through the the entire series. Not just there for their act and then disappeared.
Writing was tight and laced with humour. I would definitely read more of this authors work.
