What a refreshing fun read! This is book three I do believe in the series with Lynn LaFleur's ALMOST PERFECTION being all about Brent Cooper the youngest sibling of Cooper's Companions and the most arrogant. Well why not he is the #1 escort for the company. The problem is that although he is undoubtedly sexy and charming, not to mention getting all the ladies he can handle, he feels his own loneliness. Never feeling the sting of rejection and ONLY sleeping with women who fit into his ideal as perfect his world is rocked when he meets the new website designer that his sister Michelle hired Robin Howell. Not only is Robin intelligent, but she is beautiful. The attraction between the two is setting off sparks in moments, even though Robin knows just seconds after meeting Brent that he is a player despite the immediate attraction. During the first encounter Robin takes off her sweater what is exposed makes Brent take a step back and almost physically ill. She is badly scared on her arms and back from being caught in a fire that her ex-boyfriend set on her house while she was still in it. The poor girl just wanted to break up with him, but Stuart had no intentions on letting her go and ended up in prison for 12 years to pay for his crimes. Realizing Brent's reaction to her, Robin rights him off despite the heat between them and tries to move on with developing the new website for Cooper's Companions. Ironically Brent feels a little possessive over Robin as she is asked out by Michelle's visiting brother in low, not to mention all the mishaps that seem to be going on around Robin as well. First Brent's tires are slashed, then all her work is erased from her laptop on the website then the creepy box of expensive chocolates that only her ex used to buy her. Brent in the meantime can't help but act on his attraction to Robin as he learns a little more about himself and that being perfect is really in the eye of the beholder. I really enjoyed how Robin mentally held it together and actually went after hunting her ex instead of waiting around for him to find her and harm her again. Brent's love became a powerful force and sex was smokin hot and not disappointing.
SNIPPET: "Brent Cooper loves his life. As one-third owner of Coopers’ Companions, a successful male escort business, he has his pick of the most beautiful, sexiest women to take to bed. That’s the way he likes it. He sees no reason to settle for a woman who isn’t perfect.
He wants nothing to do with Robin Howell when he meets her and discovers her scars. But Robin’s warmth and courage—and the perfection of their lovemaking—soon shatter his demand for physical perfection.
His love and Robin’s courage are put to the test when a man from her past comes back into their lives. Stuart Holden believes Robin belongs to him. He’s killed in the past to try to keep her. He won’t hesitate to kill again"
