As Close to Perfect Insight & Giveaway
As the author (under pen name Maria Jane) I may be a bit biased. I love Bree's character in this book and had so much fun filling out her story. In the earlier books of the Perfect series, Perfect and Perfect Always by Tricia Copeland, she serves as a supportive and tell-it-like-it-is friend to Chloe. Here you learn more about Bree's back story and what could be her happily ever after.

Here are more details about As Close to Perfect...
From the back cover…
She’s definitely attracted to his type and he seems as close to perfect as a guy could get. Only problem, she’d sworn off dating hot, muscled, athletic types for good.
Wronged by a string of jocks, Bree creates a hard rule: no dating athletes. Further, she enacts a list of other guidelines to protect a fragile heart. As per the rules, coffee meetups don’t count as dates, lunch doesn’t count as a date, there will be no physical displays of affection until after a real date, and no sex until he commits to an exclusive relationship.
Enter Nate. Tall and muscular with deep blue eyes and dark hair, he’s the perfect clone for the guys that hurt her before. If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck, right?
Enter Steven. She could not have ordered a more perfect person. Okay, so he is muscular, but not too tall. Be he’s also focused on his career. Definitely the mature man she’s been looking for.
When Bree allows herself to give in to her feelings, sparks fly. They’re happier than could be imagined. But being a couple is about more than just the two of them. Family, religion, location, and money all factor in.
Can they meet in the middle?

Her type is the physically tone, in-shape, muscled jock type and that has not served her well in the past. In this novel she's trying to put all of that behind her.

5* - Sweetest romance story ever!
May 25, 2022
Format : Paperback
This book is number three in it's series. BUT it very well may be read as a STANDALONE!! I really, really enjoyed it! So much so that I am going back to read books one and two NOW!! Such a well written romance story. The story line draws you in and quick too, to where you most certainly WILL NOT want to set aside until finished. Highly recommend this story, when you have time to finish too, It's GREAT!!

This book was a little different than my normal read and I really enjoyed it. Bree is not looking to date her typical jock type. She branches out and tries new things in an effort to meet new people. First, she meets Nate at the tennis club. He wants to date but she has sworn off his type. So, they become friends. Then her dad introduces her to Steven and they quickly hit it off. As Close to Perfect is a quick and light read.

"I adored this book! I feel like everyone can relate to string of bad relationships and then guarding your heart to protect it from future disappointment. This author told a wonderful story that was heartfelt and light at the same time. From the outside looking in you truly wanted all the characters to see where they should be, but its not how it works in the book world. Lol ...
This story was cute and I loved all the characters and the dynamic they shared. Its well worth the read and I will definitely pick it up again.

As Close to Perfect Selected quotes
Today I thought I'd share some fun quotes from As Close to Perfect....
Bree is the MC and she's been hurt by a string of athletic type guys.
"Actually, yes, I will put Jonathan in the catastrophe category, but Dominque needs to be cast into a global-cataclysm pile. Because that’s what happened to my heart. It was like a meteor crashed into me and left a crater the size of the Vredefort. Maybe the fact that I know which crater is the largest on earth is why those two relationships wrecked. That’s it, you’re too damned smart. Not smart enough to spot a player though."
Her meet cute with one of the potential love interests in the book.
“Chicken fried rice.” The attendant sets a bag in the window. I reach for the bag, but another hand enters my field of view. Retracting my arm, I step back. “Sorry. I thought that was mine.” “Did you have chicken fried rice? It could be.” He raises his palms. His thick accent catches me off guard, and I glance up at his face. Wide blue eyes hold my gaze. What is it about bright blue eyes ringed with dark lashes against light skin that draws me in? I take in his tall, muscled physique. Nope. No dating athletes. “Go ahead. I’m sure another will be up in a minute.” He takes a step back.
Find out if Nate could be the one... it may be too early to tell.

More about As Close to Perfect from the back cover...
She’s definitely attracted to his type and he seems as close to perfect as a guy could get. Only problem, she’d sworn off dating hot, muscled, athletic types for good.
Wronged by a string of jocks, Bree creates a hard rule: no dating athletes. Further, she enacts a list of other guidelines to protect a fragile heart. As per the rules, coffee meetups don’t count as dates, lunch doesn’t count as a date, there will be no physical displays of affection until after a real date, and no sex until he commits to an exclusive relationship.
Enter Nate. Tall and muscular with deep blue eyes and dark hair, he’s the perfect clone for the guys that hurt her before. If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck, right?
Enter Steven. She could not have ordered a more perfect person. Okay, so he is muscular, but not too tall. Be he’s also focused on his career. Definitely the mature man she’s been looking for.
When Bree allows herself to give in to her feelings, sparks fly. They’re happier than could be imagined. But being a couple is about more than just the two of them. Family, religion, location, and money all factor in.
Can they meet in the middle?
Read As Close to Perfect for 99 cents for a limited time to get swept away in this perfectly imperfect melding of lives!

I enjoyed this romance story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed. One of the things I enjoyed about this story is how well written it is as well as how the author was able to pull me into the story. I also enjoyed the author’s attention to details that made the story come to life. The characters popped and kept me coming back for more. ...
I highly recommend this book.

"Oh my, who hasn't been in Bree's place. This book is an entertaining look at the world of romance from the point of someone trying to keep an eye out for commitment. This author has done a terrific job of writing a romance that feels realistic. The humor, the pain and the romance all mesh together to create the perfect romance."

More about As Close to Perfect from the back cover...
She’s definitely attracted to his type and he seems as close to perfect as a guy could get. Only problem, she’d sworn off dating hot, muscled, athletic types for good.
Wronged by a string of jocks, Bree creates a hard rule: no dating athletes. Further, she enacts a list of other guidelines to protect a fragile heart. As per the rules, coffee meetups don’t count as dates, lunch doesn’t count as a date, there will be no physical displays of affection until after a real date, and no sex until he commits to an exclusive relationship.
Enter Nate. Tall and muscular with deep blue eyes and dark hair, he’s the perfect clone for the guys that hurt her before. If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck, right?
Enter Steven. She could not have ordered a more perfect person. Okay, so he is muscular, but not too tall. Be he’s also focused on his career. Definitely the mature man she’s been looking for.
When Bree allows herself to give in to her feelings, sparks fly. They’re happier than could be imagined. But being a couple is about more than just the two of them. Family, religion, location, and money all factor in.
Can they meet in the middle?
Read As Close to Perfect for 99 cents for a limited time to get swept away in this perfectly imperfect melding of lives!
