Publicity
In Present Perfect, Brad Johnson was sexy,
cocky, rich and a complete Smurff**ker. He could afford anything he wanted and
could charm any girl he set his eyes on. Everything was laid out in front of
him, all for the taking except the one thing he craved and needed. A tragic
event forces him to reevaluate his life. When he tries to change, will the
people in his life let him move on from his past or will they constantly hold
him to the life altering mistakes he’s made?
Mabry Darnell is intelligent, ambitious, beautiful, and sassy. Secrets from her
past haunt the present causing her to question her actions in order to shield
her heart and protect her life.
From the moment Brad and Mabry met, their connection was strong, intense, and
electrifying. Both knew they had found the one person who could satisfy what
the other ached for. When their pasts collide with their present, will it
prevent them from having a future together or will love be strong enough to
conquer their demons?
WAMFU and Beyond!! 5 Star Perfection!!!!
“I’m sorry Mabry. If I had known you were going to be my future, I
would have been a better man in my past” - Brad
We first met Bradley (aka the Smurff*cker) who stole Tweet’s V card
in Present Perfect. He was a superb example of Mr. Douchebag. Past Imperfect is
Brad and Mabry’s story, and it is just as poignant and beautifully written as
Present Perfect.
Brad has gone through serious changes since we last seen him
whoring himself out to the female population in Present Perfect. All grown up,
graduated from Duke University he’s a fully functioning lawyer, practicing at
his useless and womanizing father’s law firm.
Yeah I’m not a fan of either of his parents; both are selfish, cruel and
extremely self centered people. For example, Brad overhears his loving parents
arguing over the fact that he was never wanted, and his parents regret not
aborting him before birth. I know right? This will do wonders for a person’s
emotional stability. Anyway I digress, let’s just say his parents are not good
people, moving on.
Mabry has had her fair share of life altering traumas as well. She
lost her mother in the worst possible way, and to top it off, she was the
person to find her. Her father is closed off and emotionally crippled, leaving
her to suffer alone. Mabry is also a practicing lawyer and has recently
accepted a position in Bradley’s firm. Mabry has some very serious emotional
issues and she is hiding some very painful secrets. Emotionally and physically
numb, she unavailable for any type of relationship, outside of a casual romp.
She fears Brad’s feelings for her, and she does the unthinkable, she lashes
out, she runs, she hides. Mabry drove me to drink, I loved her, but she frustrated
the hell out of me, probably much they way she infuriated Brad ironically
enough.
“One day I gave in and kissed him. Since then it’s been a constant
struggle to keep him at arm’s length because I crave him and I scared to death I’m
starting to need him. But I can’t have him.” - Mabry
Brad and Mabry’s chemistry is undeniable, and captivating, right
from the start. Their pain and scars are so prevalent your heart and soul aches
for them. Brad is head over heels in love and wants to share his life with
Mabry, but Mabry is terrified of her feelings, and what can, in her mind,
happen if she allows herself to fall.
“Don’t go. I’ve never had anyone in my life like you, Mabry. You’re
mine.” - Brad
The love scenes in this book are sexy and romantic. The connection
between Mabry and Brad makes your heart race and ache. I spent a few minutes
swooning and blushing over the wonderfully dirty things, that came out of
Brad’s mouth. For instance...
“Resting his forehead against mine, he said, “I want to lick, suck,
and fuck every part of you all at the same time.” – Brad
I KNOW! LOL
Another...
“You could watch yourself in the mirror while as I make you come,
Mabry. Watching you come is the most beautiful fucking thing I’ve ever seen.” -
Brad
Emotionally this book will more than give you all the feels, it
will hold you in its grasp until you’re finished. Brad loves Mabry in a way
that makes you sigh, blush, tingle and swoon. Every woman should be so lucky. I
adored this book; I adored the characters, and the writing. Past Imperfect is
the total package.
“Trying to catch my breath, I rest my forehead against hers, and
ask, “Do you think it’s possible to love someone before you’re met them?
Because I think I’ve loved you my entire life.” “I do. I’ve been waiting for
you my entire life.” - Brad and Mabry
Sexy, romantic, tragic, funny, emotional, heartbreaking. The ending
is beyond touching and magical, it leaves you as reader, satisfied and your
heart overflowing.
“Wamfu, “ I breathe out. “Wamfu?” She scrunches up her face in
confusion. “My brain couldn’t decide whether to say ‘wow, damn, or fuck’, so it
came out ‘wamfu’. – Brad
I can’t recommend Past Imperfect highly enough; it goes onto my
favourites list for 2014. Read this book, it’s totally WAMFU!
