**please see my profile for link to full review at BedroomBookworms**I love Erin McCarthy. She has such a way of writing hot sex mixed with humor and emotional that always strikes a chord with me. When I saw Perfect 10 come up as an available ARC on NetGalley, I requested it immediately. And then did a little cheer when it was approved. She didn’t let me down. Perfect 10 is a short book, reminiscent of Harlequins I read long ago, but with much hotter sex. I read it in an afternoon, so it’s nothing epic, but it made me smile and sneak away to read a chapter here and there whenever I could. Very enjoyable.Trina is a social media expert but somehow manages to post the details of all her dates online. Now, this was a little outlandish, but also hysterical, so I let myself suspend disbelief for the sake of the book. I think Erin could have had even more fun with this, but the book is short, and I suppose it could have been overdone, too.But this was Brooklyn, not her hometown upstate. There were no tools of any kind hanging around her apartment, unless you counted the guy next door who went tanning three times a week.Drew is a musician, bartender and all around nice guy. I liked that Trina kept pushing about why he didn’t call, though in the end, they never really own up to their own parts in their past, which is a little annoying. I think a lot of that has to do with the length of this book. If we could have added another 50 or 75 pages, I think we could have gotten a more satisfying conclusion to the book. I suppose that’s one reason I am so partial to indie authors – they can tell their story in the time it needs instead of a set number of words.The abruptness of the story is really the only complaint I have about the whole book. Erin always writes well, always makes me pant with desire and always makes me giggle. I really just wanted more. But if you’re looking for a short afternoon read that will leave you with a smile, I’d put this on your to-be-read list. I’m not sorry it was on mine.“I have you. “I’d never let you fall.”Smut Factor: 4 stars- Smokin’ Hot!Character likability: 5 stars- He’s my book boyfriend and I want to BE her.Storytelling: 4 stars- Totally bought it.Writing and editing quality: 5 stars- Excellent!
