A perfect man by Cecilia DominicMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Do you read Romance? I didn't until this week. Not counting the Shades of Grey, as I'm not talking about poorly written Romantic Porn here. We all read those three.
I'm giving Cecilia Dominic Four Stars for her first straight Romance novel (no werewolves), A Perfect Man. She flung herself against a genre-wall that is firmly mortared by a magnitude of authors, plots, love scenes, hard bodies, and more, and came out a winner. A good plot with believable characters (albeit so much emphasis on redheads). A sensitive understanding that great Romance writing is an art not a profession.
Feisty, fresh, and frankly funny in places - at least to this weathered reader who sees humor in many dusty corners that youth takes for granted - I'm sure that you will love A Perfect Man. Even if you don't really care for Romance, as a whole, read this author because she is going on to other places in her career and you aren't going to want to miss it.

The Fourth Star, Cecilia, is not for "the perfect man" but for the perfectly executed ending. Even the seasoned and notorious "best-selling" authors of today usually disappoint me at the end of the novel and leave me thinking of dozens of rewrites. Thanks and good job!
Note: Sometimes this, other times that. It isn't clear on the internet if your title is in caps, so old habits ruled me.
