I love that I was able to read two of Beverly Preston’s books back-to- back. I was little late reading Book 2–Shayla’s Story– and so happy after I finally did read it. I wish I had not waited so long.Now let’s talk about book three of the Matthew Family series, The Perfect Someday.  The very beginning of the book grabbed me, I was very intrigued and much of it left me breathless–both from the immense connection the characters had and the anticipation of them getting together. Honestly, as I got further into the book I became disappointed. I felt the characters stayed apart way too long. Towards the end they come back together but do not seem to know who each other is. I can’t tell you why or it would spoil the story. But I can say I found this part not to be as believable. I felt that the connection was so strong between them that there should have been no doubt that they instantly would know who the other was. I thought the story was going to go in a different direction than it did. This story also did not have as much heat throughout like the author’s first two books. I was not real happy with that either. I could not understand why this story seemed so different than first two books. I sat back and really thought about it. That is when it hit me and I had an AHA moment!  Now, I will explain.After my AHA moment I realized that the character of Tracy is different, a very different person than the rest of her family. Tracy is not described as an extremely sexual person.  When she gives herself to someone it has to mean something. Yes, she has sexual needs, but she will not compromise herself just because she feels horny and believe me she definitely felt horny.  It is these reasons that I realized that this story would have not made sense had it in fact been full of sex throughout. This relationship was not just all about the sex; it is more of an emotional connection.Vincent is very different than most men too. As I got to know him I fell more in love with the person he was. His loyalty, love, and devotion is sexy has hell.  The anticipation was killing me for these two to finally have sex. I finally got my gratification and it was beautiful scene. It was very hot with an innocence that made me want to look away because I felt as if I was intruding. Of course I did not look away!I am angry at myself for feeling the way I did at first when I finished the book. I should know better that not every story (character) dictates the same way to an author and I commend the author for allowing her characters to be who they need to be. I think I was just being selfish. LolBeverly Preston writes beautiful love stories and I love following the lives of the Matthew family. Each book gives you little bits of other characters and how their lives are progressing. This story can be read alone but I do think you will enjoy it even more if you read the others first. They are full of humor, love, sadness, but ultimately happiness. I can’t wait for JC’s book; she is a spitfire and a lot to handle. Her downfall to love will be epic for sure!
