Perfect Set Brings All That Mel Does So Well to the Net (with a Giveaway!)
2:48 PM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
As a sports reporter, Bree Mercer has embraced a hard-earned truth—pro athletes do not make good dating material. She sees enough of their inflated egos, childish temper tantrums, and slick-as-ice moves in her professional life; she wants none of that in her personal one. So, when a pro beach volleyball player in her new singles ward starts chatting her up, Bree shuts him down. Hard. Athletes—even incredibly hot ones, especially incredibly hot ones—are simply not an option.

Perfect Set, the newest LDS rom-com from Melanie Jacobson, sparkles with the author's trademark warmth and wit. All the things that Mel does so well are here—a fun, upbeat setting; smart, spunky characters; bright, humorous banter; and a sweet, swoony romance. Add in a singles ward full of faithful new adults who do real things like watch sports on Sunday, drink Coke (gasp!), flirt shamelessly, judge each other unfairly, even stab each other in the back (figuratively, of course), and you're pretty much guaranteed an entertaining read. Perfect Set is certainly that. Although I didn't love Bree and Kade could have used a stronger personality, I definitely felt the chemistry between the couple. Jacobson always delivers a satisfying HEA, so although the plot is predictable, it's still exciting. This isn't my favorite Jacobson novel (that would be Southern Charmed), but Perfect Set remains a light, enjoyable romance, the kind of well-written fluff that's made for beach reading and poolside indulging. If you're a fan of clean, engaging love stories, then you're definitely going to want to dip in.
(Readalikes: Reminds me of other rom-coms from Melanie Jacobson, especially Second Chances. It also reminds me of romances by Brittany Larsen, Tiffany Odekirk, and Jenny Proctor)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for mild innuendo and references to illegal drug use
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of Perfect Set from the generous folks at Covenant in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
