"Far From Perfect is the heartwarming story of two wounded souls who find love and healing in the small town of Perfect. Longley has penned a charming, tender tale that will leave you wanting to return to Perfect again and again."
“A tender, touching and wonderful depiction of a tortured hero struggling to free himself of the past and a woman struggling to believe she’s worth sticking around for.
Far From Perfect is a romance with heart. Noah is a delightful hero whose tortured soul is nearly impossible to resist. Ceejay was tough to like at times, but matured nicely. This is a sweet read that will leave a smile in its wake.
