Review: Dreams of Perfection by Rebecca Heflin

Dreams of PerfectionDreams of Perfection by Rebecca Heflin
Lynn's rating: 5 of 5 stars

Darcy is a romance writer, a dreamer, a tomboy and is looking for Mr. perfect. Blake Garrett is the man she judges every guy on. Blind date after blind date and she has yet to find him. She thinks as long as she keeps looking she will eventually come across him. Her best friend Josh has been in love with Darcy from pretty much the moment he met her. Afraid of losing her friendship he sits back and listens to her tales of not finding Mr. Perfect. Until the night her other best friend Laura ends up in the emergency room and the perfect man from her novel walks into the room. Dr. Blake Garrett. he has all the attributes of her perfect man but there is something missing. But she is determined to make it work. After all, this is the man she has been waiting for.

This is my first book from this author and I loved it. You have to laugh at Darcy at times. Living in her head and trying to make the fairy tale come true. Poor Josh was seriously friend-zoned through most of the book. So afraid to step over that line. But willing to do anything for Darcy. She doesn't see it. She has the perfect man blinders on. Laura the other best friend is another great supporting character. Where Darcy is the good girl, Laura is the bad girl and makes for some fantastic conversations. Will Laura take her blinders off and see who is perfect for her or will she continue to keep them on and miss the love of her life?

If you love best-friend romance, don't pass this one up.


Dreams of Perfection

by 
Best-selling romance writer Darcy Butler is holding out for perfection in the form of her own carefully-crafted heroes. Once blissfully engaged to be married, Darcy's post-traumatic commitment phobia is depriving her of the very thing she wants most: her very own happily-ever-after. Now, here she is just six months shy of her thirtieth birthday, and not a Prince Charming in sight. Successful lawyer Josh Ryan is the boy-next-door with a soft spot for the less fortunate, and Darcy's best friend without benefits. Darcy often comes to him lamenting her love-life, or the lack thereof, whereupon Josh patiently doles out his sage advice. Problem is Josh is in love with Darcy. But when Darcy finds herself looking into the handsome face of the man who graces the cover of her soon-to-be-released novel, she's convinced her dreams of perfection have come true. Or have they?

Review: Embraced (Enduring Kiss #4) - C.E. Black

Embraced by C.E. Black Ann's rating: 5 of 5 stars Read as a standalone.  This is a fantastic book. It is an easy read but don’t start reading it too late at night or you will probably end up with a book hangover. It is very difficult to put down. Sean is a lost wolf. The woman he loves has married another man, and he is heartbroken. To relieve his suffering, he decides to get out of town and have a drink or two, then he meets Sarah. Sarah is a business owner of a bakery called Decadent Delights and her life seems to be going just the way she wants…until she meets Sean at the bar. Instantly there is an overwhelming attraction and she takes him home with her. Hot animalistic sex occurs (pun intended since Sean is a werewolf). But Sean leaves after one night. He can’t stay because Sarah is human and humans don’t mate with wolves. Two months later, Sarah has a major surprise and goes looking for Sean. And then the fun really begins. This story has sorrow, angst, anger but als...

Tour Review, Post & Giveaway: Shudder - Samantha Durante

Reviewer: Bex Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Shudder is a strong follow on from Stitch, a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. What I particular enjoyed and thought that the author managed extremely well was the multiple viewpoints that she built in with the narrative. Not only did this allow us extra insight into the characters, but also the varying points of views added lovely depth to the novel. Samantha Durante's craft has improved and developed since book one. On the whole, her writing is tighter and flows that much easier. There were still a few moments within the dialogue that I felt was a little awkward, yet others could easily disagree. I’m just a stickler and very particular with dialogue. Yet again, there’s a fabulous twist that Durante mastered with skill and ease. This one wasn’t quite as much as a shocker as Stitch, but it still successfully made me do a double take just to be certain. Just the same as Stitch, Shudder left me ready and most definitely eager for t...
