When you’re searching for The PERFECT Read, The PERFECT Combination is the answer.Author D.D. Lorenzo combines the ONLY cliffhanger in The IMPERFECTION Series with its conclusion. You won’t be left hanging when you read No PERFECT Man and No PERFECT Time.A love story doesn’t always begin with love at first sight, but the Men’s Fashion model, Declan Sinclair, may have just become a believer. From … a believer. From the comfort of a beachfront porch, he watches a woman as she strolls along the shoreline. Lost in thought, she doesn’t notice him as he sips his coffee. She doesn’t meet the requirements that the Fashion Industry dictates of women. She’s different, and “different” is its own type of beauty.
Aria Cole wants to crawl inside herself, pull a blanket over her head, and make the hurt go away. The man she loved more than anything in the world—her father—has died. However, hiding from the world won’t solve anything, and her dad would be disappointed to see her do so. Summer vacations at The Skipjack will feel hollow without him, but spending a little bit of quiet time with her memories may minister to her broken heart. The best medicine for her is to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and soak in the healing balm of ocean waters.

This is a two book set. Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger so you can get right on with the story in one book. This starts out as a normal romance. Gorgeous guy notices beautiful (to him) woman and watches her for a while before they meet. It looks like things will flow smoothly but they DO NOT! There is a villain who starts a chain of destruction. This book ranged from nice and sweet to hot and heavy to heartbreaking. Definitely an emotional read. This was a new to me author but I enjoyed the story and will look for more. This is not a nice and fluffy story. It’s warm and loving and angsty and heart wrenching. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
This starts as a sweet budding romance and you think “good, all will be well with this couple”, well don’t get to complacent.
Aria is trying to come to terms with loss, deep in her grief the beach is both a blessing and a curse. Declan is at a crossroads in his life and his career, he feels the modelling side is becoming a bit old and staid. The beach is his peace, giving him some time to think about what he wants to do and where. A meeting and a spark starts something good.
As the story weaves its way along a lot more happens, building up the suspense and the threats. Torment and more grief and angst keep you from getting to comfortable or for the story to get boring. It doesn’t end here carrying on into the next book, I definitely enjoyed reading this and I am glad I waited to read it until the next book is almost out, I hate waiting to long to continue a story. An enthralling and emotional read.
OMG, so much pain, angst and heartbreak comes through in this part of Declan and Aria’s story. Once in a while you get a brief glimpse of them being happy and you hope all will turn out ok, or at least end up surviving enough to move on with their lives. Their friends and family are awesome in their support of both and each other hoping to help all. The villain in this story is very much that, they don’t care about anything or anyone but themselves and what they want, no matter what that takes or who it hurts or destroys. I could understand if maybe love was involved but it isn’t, its greed and selfishness. True evil really does exist in this character, who cant see past what they are doing to understand it isn’t right. I only put this book down to make lunch, I was so gripped by the story, my heart broke for this couple I had a lump in my throat. DD is an awesome author how she manages to bring out all the emotions the characters go through so you can feel it, all the highs and lows. It feels real and raw, how they deal with the pain is intense. Fantastic read and worth far more than five stars I would happily have given ten.
We now get these two great books in one! These books are fantastic. I felt so many emotions reading this combo. You will definitely need lots of tissues and maybe a strong drink or two. There is anger, hate, an evil villain or villainess (is that a word), hope and love in this book and you will feel every emotion while reading this one.
