Will a forty-year-old woman with everything on the line – her high-stakes career, ticking biological clock, bank account – risk it all for an intensely lusty secret romance with the one person who could destroy her comeback, for good? Jenna Jones, former It-girl fashion editor, is broke and desperate for a second chance. When she’s dumped by her longtime fiancé and fired from Darling magazine, she begs for a job from her old arch nemesis, Darcy Vale. The beyond-bitchy publisher of StyleZine.com, Darcy agrees to hire her rival – only because her fashion site needs a jolt from Jenna’s old school cred. But Jenna soon realizes she’s in over her head. She’s working with digital-savvy millennials half her age, has never even “Twittered,” and pretends to still be a Fashion Somebody while living a style lie (she sold her designer wardrobe to afford her sketched-out studio, and now quietly wears Walmart’s finest). Worse? The twenty-two-year-old videographer assigned to shoot her web series is driving her crazy. Wildly sexy with a smile Jenna feels in her thighs, Eric Combs is way off-limits – but almost too delicious too resist.

I cannot believe it took me this long to read Tia Williams’ The Perfect Find.

I ordered this book a few months back when it was on sale and it has been sitting idle on Kindle. Admittedly, I didn’t know much about Tia Williams but I saw Myleik reading this book on her snap chat and Luvvie also mentioned she read it in a day. When two of your favorite people mention a book, it is imperative that you buy it. Flying back to Florida last week, I decided that now was the perfect time to dive into this book.

The Perfect Find was SOOOO good. Jenna Jones was a famed fashion executive at Darling Magazine until an embarrassing breakup with her longtime fiance and subsequent breakdown forces her out of New York and back to her small town in Indiana. When she comes back to work for her cutthroat nemesis, Jenna sees that the game has changed quite a bit.

In The Perfect Find, Jenna not only has to find her place in this new digital age and fashion industry, but she has to evaluate what she really wants in her love life. Oh, and speaking of love life, let’s just say that she finds a cup of tea and then some in the sexy as hell and MUCH younger, Eric Combs.

What takes place in The Perfect Find is a perfect mesh of hilarity, sexual chemistry, and redefining love on your own terms at any age.

The Perfect Find read like a famed melodrama; it was a funny, sexy, angsty, and juicy read. Did I mention it was hilarious? It was like that rare perfect episode of General Hospital. I must save it and watch it (or in this case, read it) over and over again.

Between this book and Tia’s interview with Myleik on her podcast recently, she may just very well be one of my new favorite people.

Need a fantastic read that will make you laugh your ass off and remind you that you’re hopeless romantic? Pick up The Perfect Find ASAP.
