Maria Jane's Romance Character Spotlight - Bree
It's one week till the release of my pen name, Maria Jane's, As Close to Perfect romance novel. I can't wait to share this story with you. The main character or protagonist in this book is Bree. Bree is Chloe's college friend and appeared in the first two Perfect romance series books briefly.
I had a lot of fun filling her character out. Bree came across as the life of the party in college. She was always Chloe's support and cheerleader. But there is much more to Bree than meets the eye. You see Bree had a number of great relationships with a certain type of guy where she was hurt. 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.
No spoilers... Find out more about As Close to Perfect, add to your TBR, pre-order and read for yourself! Oh! And enter the Goodread Giveaway too! 3 signed copies up for grab! Enter thru 5/21/22!

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?
