Once Perfect was a solid 4.5 Star, new adult read.
Evelyn Preston's world shattered when her father killed himself after being caught embezzling. This left Evelyn penniless and struggling to survive, she went from riches to rags.
Mateo Santos is an ex-con, working as a bouncer and MMA fighter to support his mother and sisters.
Evelyn has been working at a popular night club to work her way through college. Mateo is the head bouncer and the same night club. One act of kindness ignites an unlikely friendship.
Their attraction grows but they both must face their pasts before they can have a future. Even if the pasts have been buried deep inside.
Once Perfect was a gut wrenching story dealing with many difficult life circumstances. Both Evie's and Mateo's must face the gritty. real and raw worlds that have entrapped them.
The romance is explosive with a very steamy sexual attraction.
You can't read Once Perfect without becoming emotionally moved by the story. This is a marvelous new adult read.
I received this ARC copy of Once Perfect from Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept in exchange for a honest review. This book is set for publication October 7, 2014.
