I have always been a huge fan of A. Meredith Walters starting with Find You in the Dark. I read Bad Rep last year. I enjoyed it, wasn't over the moon crazy about it, but thought it was a good book. When I heard Perfect Regret was being released I was like... I'll check it out. I love rocker stories so why not. Plus I love Ms Walters work so I thought I would give it a try. I am soooo glad I did. I so loved this book and feel in love with Riley and Garrett's story. I laughed, I cried, I yelled at my kindle and I loved every second of it!Riley Walker comes across as being the know it all snobby bitch that knows what she wants from life. She has a boyfriend, Damien that she is content with and knows what she wants from life when she graduates college. Then Damien does the expected, breaks up with her. On a night of drowning her sorrows, she does something totally unexpected; she has sex with the lead guitarist from Generation Rejects, Garrett Bellows. He is everything that Riley despises. He's in a band, has long hair, drinks too much, and smokes too much. Waking up the next morning she immediately knows she made a huge mistake. She is also conflicted because she has a calmness with him never had with Damien. He makes her feel something Damien never did."I should have been relieved that our secret rendezvous would remain a secret. But relief wasn't what I was feeling. And I refused to admin to myself that I was disappointment that fluttered in my stomach"Weeks go by and the two dance around each other like nothing happen until Riley's world is turned upside down. The one that is there for her is the one that is least expected. Garrett is there to help her through one of the hardest times in her life."But there was something in the way I felt with Garrett that took me out of my comfort zone and thrust me, without preamble, into the cold, hard world of lust and want. "I thought for sure she would see the light and she would not judge him for what's on the outside. But no... she still continues to fight against what she feels and chalks it up to being over emotional and he just happens to be there for her. We start to see a side of Garrett that no one else sees. He puts up a front and does not allow others to see in to the true Garrett, except for Riley."The guy who until a month ago, I wanted nothing to do with but now had slithered his way under my skin. He was like a freaking parasite, sucking away everything but the desire to get him naked"Will Riley wake up and see that even though Garrett has this exterior that she would never normally be with? Can she accept the feeling of happiness that she feels when she is around him? Or will Damien her ex-boyfriend come back and try to win her heart back? Damien is like her, they want the same things but is she content with being comfortable? It's a fabulous story of love and the unexpected with some twist and turns that will have your heart break in two but then but back together to have it melt into a big pile of mush!!! I loved every minute it!"I never expected that the one person I had declared to have no place in my life, to be my one great regret, to fit so perfectly that it was as though he had always been there"
