This book is probably one of the most real and touching stories that I have ever read. It was difficult to put down and will stick with you long after you do. It is a cautionary tale about what happens in long-term marriages when life gets into a rut and communications break down. A husband who works all of the time. A wife who is immersed in taking care of the house, the kids, and everyone around her. They talk about the kids, the meals, the house, and they never really talk about anything with each other. Then fate comes along and drops a bombshell with a capital “C” – Cancer.
Will the marriage survive? Will SHE survive? Will they learn how to really see each other and truly communicate before it is too late? Can they fall back in love again? This book answers those questions in a way that will have you laughing, crying, and cheering in equal measures. Combined with some truly steamy lovemaking scenes, this book is a captivating read that is highly recommended.

He works too much. She only has time for the children. What happens when a real crisis occurs?
I can’t believe how great this book was! I couldn’t put it down. It is very realistic so a warning goes out for any woman or man who has had to deal with marriage complications during a cancer diagnosis, and especially breast cancer. There were moments in this book where I actually sobbed. It was so distressing. Beautiful and poignant exploration of a marriage dying due to “everydayness” until something even worse develops. This book begins with a very painful prologue…
Terra Burrow cares for her two beautiful and bright children: 6yo Lanie and 4yo Noah. Although she used to be a highly praised professional, she chose to give that up to stay home with her children. She has put on a little weight and doesn’t feel as attractive to Braydon. She assumes her husband feels the same b/c he works so late and MAY be having an affair with his admin. She and Braydon rarely talk and never have s** anymore.
Braydon works his butt off to keep the bogeyman away from his family. He grew up poor, even homeless at some points. That will never happen to his family. He adores them, but he’s never at home b/c he’s making the money to allow his family to live well. He’s still a very handsome muscular man at 34yo, giving rise to Terra’s fears of his philandering.
I must admit as much as I loved this book, I became very irritated with Terra at times b/c she wouldn’t communicate her feelings and then when she did, she was (in her words), “a petulant teenager.” But of course, this is a very realistic narrative. I can see any of this really happening. Flash backs are used to show us how they were together before children. This was a captivating, steamy and realistic story and I volunteered to review an ARC of it through Booksprout. It comes highly recommended and it gets more than 5 Perfect Stars.
After three more books on this series, when I received this book 4 I jumped to the chance to read it. Terra and Brayden’s story is intense and highly emotional as it hit me pretty close because my profession attending cancer patients. The author managed the plot amazingly, with very well written characters and situations, leading us through the path they followed to found themselves again while overcoming many obstacles, to the hundreds of little thing that led them to find again the spark that made them love each other in the first place. This book kept me at the edge of my seat in a emotional whirlpool the whole time with a box of tissues besides me. Loved it!

This story had my attention from the start and wouldn’t let it go. I loved how these characters worked together. Braydon thought he was doing everything right, but he was neglecting his family over work. Terra didn’t notice that Braydon was trying his best while having to work and be there for her. It was difficult for Braydon and Terra to find their way back, and to even talk to each other without arguing. When Terra found out she had stage three breast cancer she had no idea how to tell Braydon. When Braydon finally found out about Terra’s illness he was shocked and terrified. With their marriage sinking and death at their door will Terra and Braydon manage to come back together. I received a free copy and reviewed voluntarily.
I don’t think that I’ve been as moved by a story since I finished “Atlas Shrugged’ more than 40 years ago!

Boring is what this story was. I felt no connection or interest in the story or characters. I like Ajme’s stories but this on didn’t make me happy.

Real marriages need nurturing to succeed
Terra and Brandon are married, but they have drifted apart. She is a stay at home mom, busy taking care of the kids. He is active with the business they started together, works late a lot. Their marriage is on autopilot; they are just going through the motions.
For various reasons, neither of them bothers interacting with the other in a meaningful way in their daily lives. Marriages fail from neglect; their marriage is almost in its death throes.
This book is one of the best-written depictions of a marriage in trouble that I have read in a long time. It deals with the real events and failures that pull a relationship down. Fortunately, the author handles the challenges the couple faces in a sensitive matter.
Read and find out how this tale goes. I laughed and cried. This glimpse into a troubled marriage is a well- written novel, not a short story that has no time for character and plot development. There are times of deep despair and times of great joy. You do not want to miss reading this excellent novel.
Written for mature audiences, the sex between the husband and wife is sizzling (and graphic.)
I received a free ARC copy of this book, hope to read many more of this author’s work.
This book takes you on a great journey of bringing Brayden and Terra back together. Throughout this book they encounter trials and tribulations to rediscover their love for each other! Will they reconnect and survive as a family? Can Terra survive cancer? The emotional roller coaster you go on is completely worth it. There are possible triggers in here with her breast cancer but don’t let that stop you from reading it!

I cried over this one, and I don’t cry
Terra thinks her marriage is over. She and Braydon have been quietly drifting apart since the children came and their business took off. She even goes as far as consulting a lawyer. But everything comes to a screeching halt when she finds a lump in her breast. A lump just like her mother had and didn’t survive. Now what?
Braydon has been working to build their business. It’s wildly successful but he has trouble feeling secure because of a childhood that often left him and his mother homeless. But when he finds the paperwork from the lawyer Terra consulted, he’s floored. How could they have drifted so far apart? What can he do to fix everything? And that’s before Terra tells him about her diagnosis. Can this marriage be fixed and do they have the time to fix it?
Ajme Williams has written a beautiful and emotional love story that will have you cheering for these characters from the very beginning. Imperfect Love is well written, has a great story line and wonderful characters. It’s a second chance story full of twists and turns, angst, heartache, insecurities, fear, sadness, turmoil, drama, guilt, doubt, anger, hope and true love.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
Imperfect Love By Ajme Williams
What an emotionally heartbreaking yet beautiful rollercoaster ride. I was in tears in more than one part of this book.
Breydon and Terra Burrow were instantly drawn to each other from the moment he started at the company she worked for and where she was his boss. They risked everything to be together even going against company policy. Finally he set off to start his own company and asked her to come with him. Eventually she joined him and they built a extremely powerful successful tech company. When she becomes a mother she chooses to be a stay at home mom. Eventually their once hot romantic marriage becomes less and less. Kids,house errands and weight gain are her life whereas work and even more late nights at the office are his life. Resentment, lack of communication and feeling unwanted has caused major problems in their relationship. Then she discovers something that will devastate her whole world.
I heart hurt for both of them at different times in the book. They also both drove me crazy at times as well. Their journey through the trials and tribulations was tuff and heartbreaking yet beautiful once they came through to the other side.
Five heartbreakingly beautiful
I received an ARC from the author through Booksprout for my honest review.
