Steal away on a journey to the heartland, where a wounded soldier meets the one woman who could be his new beginning…

Noah Langford narrowly survived the roadside bombing in Iraq that cost him his leg and forever his peace of mind. When his stepbrother Matt dies in a car accident, the loss feels like the final blow to Noah’s shattered soul. But then he learns about the girlfriend and baby living in Perfect, Indiana who Matt had never mentioned, and suddenly Noah has a new mission…

Ceejay Lovejoy was nineteen and pregnant when her boyfriend walked out. Since that day, Ceejay has devoted herself to giving her daughter a better life, avoiding any man who could threaten that security—until the day Noah Langford shows up on her doorstep in Perfect. His gentle spirit has an unexpected effect on Ceejay’s guarded heart, tempting her to take one last chance on love. But when a painful secret comes to light, it threatens to break the fragile bond growing between them…and to destroy a love powerful enough to heal them both.

Reviews for Far from Perfect

[annehudson_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

If you had PTSD and discovered that your dead brother had left a girlfriend and baby then you would probably do as Noah does here and try to find out about her quietly. If you are the girlfriend and you discover that your new lodger has a hidden agenda then you might be as angry as Ceejay. And if you discovered that you had a new grandchild then you might want to interfere.These are very realistic portrayals for this type of light romantic fiction and it is a pleasure not to have to suspend the disbelief too far to enjoy this well told and coherent story. Very enjoyable.
