He Ain’t Perfect But He’s Worth It

Rate this book
Marriage, it’s what every woman yearns for. Especially if you’re a southern woman. In the south, having a big wedding and living in a big house surrounded by a white picket fence, and the two point five kids is the great American Dream. But what do you do when your marriage is picture perfect from the outside, but dead on the inside?

Serenity, uncovers a secret that destroys all hope of making her marriage work. Instead of being depressed, she feels free. But will freedom be too much? How can she handle going from being with a man who gave her no attention, to having two men who want to make her their own?

Benny and Serenity have known each other since childhood. He was her first crush. They never had a chance to explore their feelings in the past. But now he plans to help her through every step of this divorce and finding her happiness again. He wants to have a chance at her heart, but he’s hiding a secret of his own. Will their love have a chance, or will his secret cause her even more pain?

Ayton “Slam” Smith, had to work hard for everything he's ever had. Born in the hood to a single father who fought hard to keep him from being another statistic. That hard work pays off when he’s drafted to the Memphis Grizzlies. Everything in life is finally falling in place. He’s made his father and his hood proud. But all the flashing lights and money makes it hard to find someone real. When he meets Serenity, he sees something different. Something he wants and needs on his team. But will she take a chance on someone new, or choose the one she's known for years?

Only one man can win her heart. But giving your heart to someone else is hard, especially when you're still dealing with your crazy ex. Benny seems perfect, everyone in her family loves him and he was raised the same way she was. But there's something about Ayton that pulls at her heart. They're total opposites, but she likes the rough hood side of him. He may not be perfect, but will he be worth it?

I NEED MORE! 😱

😩😱 let me just start by saying, Author KB Cole has earned my heart! She is now my favorite author. The way this story started off, had me in my feelings & I didn't see anything optimistic happening for Serenity... But babyyyy, this storyline, the characters, & the DRAMA has me thrown off! Part 2 I'm coming for you!

He Ain't Perfect But He's Worth It🔥🔥🔥

I love Ayton and Serenity relationship so far! Things seem so perfect for them. The way they met up until the very end😍 KB Cole knows how to write the perfect love story and this was by far the best book I've read of hers. Serenity went through a lot in her five horrible years of marriage, but it took a strong man to love her for her, and I'm glad that man is Ayton. Great part 1 on to part 2!

Good book

I enjoyed this book. Serenity needed to get her groove on since Tevin gay ass wasn't doing nothing. Tevin was wrong as hell for what he was doing to her. Don't get me started on Benny how you married and trying to get with Serenity. I hope her and Ayton get together. I can't wait for part two

Can't wait for part 2!!

This book was crazy. I guess the saying you never miss your well until the water runs dry is true, especially in Tevin's case. I can't believe he turned crazy. I really can't believe Benny had a whole family. I'm glad Ayton was there for Serenity, bc he was just what she needed. I need part 2, so I can see what happens.

Wow

I knew Tevin ass was gonna do something crazy. He needs to just walk away like Anderson told him and leave Serenity alone. I was disappointed about Benny. I just knew he was gonna be the one for Serenity. But he has a whole family he hid. I hope Ayton find Serenity. Good book on to part two

He Ain't perfect but he worth it

This book was good. I loved Serenity and Ayton together. Serenity was a sweet girl and what to be happy. Tevin is crazy and should let that girl be. I'm definitely about to start part 2.

Steady flow , I would like to see more from the author . I would definitely recommend it to others . I like that its more women fiction than urban fiction . Real life problems that no one likes to talk about .

KB Cole never disappoints! Poor Serenity can't seem to catch a break. The best way to get rid of snakes is by cutting their head off lol! We shall see...

I was kind of rooting for Benny in the beginning but I'm glad Ayton came along. Chas is funny but she has her Serenity's back. I hope Tevin's secret come out and him and Turk get dealt with.
