First I'd like to say HOLY TRIPLETS!! That's right ladies and gents...Booker Outlaw is one of three and my oh my are they some sizzling southern men! A Perfect Mess is the first book in the series, the following two books follow his two brothers, Boone and Braxton.Aubree returns to Hope Parish after she receives a horrible phone call about her aunt, the only family she has left. Within the first few minutes of Aubree's return to Hope Parish we are thrust into mystery of who is terrorizing Aubree and wondering what happened 9 months ago? Booker immediately comes to her rescue and so the story begins.Aubree and Booker seem to have been fawning after each other for awhile. Throughout the story we get hints at what they have felt for one another for awhile and an incident that invoked more intense feelings in Aubree. I really did enjoy the deep feelings Booker and Aubree had for each other but I felt a bit disconnected from the story throughout the first 70%. I kept thinking that I was missing something, that we should have more background information on these two. I understand that there were two 'incidents' that happened in the past that were the mystery but at points I felt that these mysteries were dragged out for far too long. I would have enjoyed to learn of at least one of the mysteries earlier in the story and felt a bit underwhelmed when it was all finally revealed.Throughout the story we were not only introduced to Boone & Braxton but also to Aubree's friends River Pearl & Verity (who appear to be the love interests in the following two books). The biggest positive of this series for me is the Outlaw boys and how misunderstood they are by the entire town.3.5 stars
