I gave this book an 8 because I really loved the story behind the book and the descriptions given, but I was not totally thrilled with the ending. I had hoped the author would tell us more than she did. It was a good read though and I would recommend it.

Fantastic read! Not the usual script. First in a series about 3 brothers.....nice to read a romance about realistic people who have made mistakes.

All of Patrica Rice's books are delightful this one was no exception .I like that she brought back Cleo from Impossible Dreams.

This is the first of the Mcloud Brothers trilogy. There is a must read book before this one called "Impossible Dreams". While it is not part of the trilogy, it is a must read for anyone who plans on reading this book. Cleo, the heroine of "Almost Perfect" is a central character in "Imp. Dreams" and her background story is told there. That story is very important and is not recapped in "Almost Perfect"


This book is very good. It has drama, romance and humor. Jarad McCloud is the middle brother of 3 very smart, very hot men. He is a cartoonist, famous for his nationally syndicated comic strip. He is also fed up with fame and all the trappings. He escapes to the SC shore to try and come up with a new hit that will make Hollywoods animated world take notice. Things are NEVER that easy!!!

Cleo Alyssum is the "old witch" who is renting him the run down beach bungalo on her property. She is quiet, elusive and doesn't want or need friends, men or love. A recovering addict, she is just trying to live on the up and up long enough to get her young son back. That is all she cares about - until Jarad arrives and shakes up her world, her home and her heart.

Great story of love and survival and overcoming even the toughest odds.
