She may be the only fae standing between her realm and the evil lurking below. Will Titania be given the power she needs?
Titania defeats a group of creatures threatening to colonize Middle Earth. In ending them she broke not one but two edicts of the High Council. But justice may fall on the only person holding the key to her ability to defend the fae.
The evil spirits manifesting the terrorists lurk below, lying in wait to strike again. With loss of a much-needed ally, she lacks freedom to learn what the realm may be facing. Worse yet, many, even some most trusted compatriots, distance themselves from the reckless Queen she’s painted to be.
Her power shackled and left alone, Titania loses faith in her once clear path.
Can she find her footing in time to save them all from eternal darkness?
To Be a Fae Guardian is the second book in the Realm Chronicles series, continuing a magical journey into the realm of Middle Earth. If you like dauntless heroines, you’ll love Tricia Copeland’s gripping fantasy.

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.

"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 ...

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?
