Meet the Kincade brothers: they’ll do what it takes to protect their legacy--but what happens when love gets in the way?
Meet the Kincade brothers: they’ll do what it takes to protect their legacy--but what happens when love gets in the way?
Declan Kincade has
spent so much time chasing success he’s almost forgotten how to just live.
Lately though, his all-business routine has been thrown into disarray. Brooke
Hastings is the best employee Dec’s ever had: polished, capable, and
intelligent. After four years, he’s just realized that she’s also smoking hot.
But their working relationship is too valuable to stake on a fling, no matter
how mind-bendingly pleasurable it promises to be.
What’s worse than never meeting the right man? Finding him, and then working side-by-side every day while he remains absolutely blind to your existence. That is, until one temptation-packed road-trip changes everything. Teaching her gorgeous, driven boss how to cut loose and have fun is the toughest challenge Brooke’s ever faced. But it’s one that could give both of them exactly what they need, if Dec will take a chance on a perfect—and perfectly unexpected—love.

First off, I strongly recommend reading the first book A Better Man, not because there's a cliffhanger, more along the lines the subplot is started there. We find in Perfect for You that more is revealed about their father, and it's starting to turn into shit storm. There is no other way to go about it. Subplot is getting a little more dicey as more is reveal, and that is my two cents. Now on to a happier note of the story, Declan and Brooke.
We find two polar opposites in Perfect for You, and we all know how opposites attract. Declan is career driving and focus; nothing is going to get into his way. Then we have his assistant Brooke who is on the ball at work, but she's a lot of fun off the clock. Now she's had a crush on Declan for about 4 years, and hasn't acted on these feelings after all Declan basically compartmentalizes everything. Yet Brooke is about to shake his world up in Sunshine. Her goal is make him see that she's more than an assistant and could be more in his life.
Perfect for You was a pretty good read. I mean Brooke is fun loving and enjoys life, and we learn the reason. We also get a closer look why Declan is so career driven. However, we see him loosing up as he draws closer to Brooke. They are so much fun together, when Declan is able to let go. By the way, that is extremely hard for the guy. I really did like Brooke's miss merry sunshine attitude. She's one of those types of people that could chase a cloud away. I love that she was willing to chase Declan's clouds away. Overall, a fun read. So, if you are looking for someone chase the clouds away in your life you might want to take a trip with Declan and Brooke in Perfect for You.

Excerpt:
The sunlight
caught like spun gold in the wavy strands of her hair. He liked that her face
was makeup free, but mostly he liked that she didn’t need a mask to feel
confident. Not that he ever planned to date Brooke, but he’d dated a lot of
women who’d refused to leave the house until their makeup had been perfectly
applied and every hair was in place.
In his mind,
all that preparation took away an opportunity for spontaneity. With his busy
schedule, sometimes that’s all he could manage—a last minute invite. Brooke had
so much sexy going on she didn’t need all that stuff. And today she’d pretty
much proved that she was game for the whole spur-of-the-moment thing.
Impressive.
“How many
business lunches and dinners have I sat through with you, Mr. Kincade?”
He shrugged.
“Too many to count.”
“Bingo.” She
pointed. “And do you know what you order almost each and every time?”
“No.”
“Seared ahi.”
“And the
problem with that is?”
“Boring.”
“I like ahi.”
“Good for you.
But why not expand your horizons? Eating the same old same old every day is
like having missionary sex every time the mood strikes.”
And why did she
need to bring that up? Because his imagination definitely didn’t need a push in
that direction.
“Shake things
up.” She waved her hands upward like she was about to take flight. “Be daring.
Live a little.”
Damn she was
animated. How the hell did someone get like that?
“I’m happy with
things the way they are.”
“Are you
really?” As she leaned into the table, the unyielding fabric of that tight
white tank top across her breasts dominated his attention.
He didn’t
respond.
Couldn’t.
He was
too . . . distracted.
“You know what
they say; all work and no play . . .” she said with a shrug,
leaving the remainder of that statement hanging like a noose.
“So you’re
saying that eating fish tacos is suddenly going to shake things
up in my life?”
“Breaking your
same old song and dance routine will. After you’ve opened up the door, anything
can happen. Aren’t you the least bit curious?”
The server
interrupted them to deliver a large plate of steaming soft tacos, bowls of
salsa and sour cream, and two giant froufrou drinks with slices of pineapple
and maraschino cherries speared by pink umbrellas.
Oh hell no.
He was not going to drink something that would immediately revoke his
man card. But when Brooke plucked the cherry from her glass, dangled it in the
air, and captured it with her tongue, he had second thoughts. By the time she
settled the bright pink straw between the soft cushion of her lips and sucked
the orange frothy drink into her mouth, he figured he’d be game for just about
any damn thing. As long as he could watch her do that all
day long.
