In Present Perfect, Brad Johnson was sexy, cocky, rich and a complete Smurff**ker. He could afford anything he wanted and could charm any girl he set his eyes on. Everything was laid out in front of him, all for the taking except the one thing he craved and needed. A tragic event forces him to reevaluate his life. When he tries to change, will the people in his life let him move on from his past or will they constantly hold him to the life altering mistakes he’s made?
Mabry Darnell is intelligent, ambitious, beautiful, and sassy. Secrets from her past haunt the present causing her to question her actions in order to shield her heart and protect her life.
From the moment Brad and Mabry met, their connection was strong, intense, and electrifying. Both knew they had found the one person who could satisfy what the other ached for. When their pasts collide with their present, will it prevent them from having a future together or will love be strong enough to conquer their demons?
Barnes & Noble: Still to come
From Smurffucker to
my new favorite book boyfriend???
I think so!! I absolutely loved this book. I can’t even say how much. Brad Johnson shows us the side he has kept
hidden from the world in Past Imperfect, and I am so glad he did. Brad and Mabry’s story is beautiful, tragic,
sweet, funny, and hot! It is everything
I look for in a book. This book takes
place many years after we last saw Brad in Present
Perfect, but it also gives us a look into Brad’s past and also
Mabry’s. It takes us on an amazing
journey of two people who are nothing short of perfect for each other, no pun
intended.
The Brad we first met in Present
Perfect was a complete smurffucker.
There was no doubt in my mind. I could not have been more mad at him at
some points in that book, but I have to admit that I began to see that there
was more to him than he let on in Present
Perfect. I could not wait to get in
his head. I was NOT disappointed. Brad is
everything. He is hot, sweet, a
flirt, a smartass, a touch of a bad boy with a past that broke many hearts, but
something happened that made him realize that he no longer wanted to be
lonely. The way he loves Mabry is what I
think makes me love him so much. He just
loves her so completely, no matter what.
He is all in, and he does not give up when Mabry puts up barriers. The way he took care of her even when she
tried so hard to resist was incredible.
The way he always made her feel amazing, every day. The intensity of his love for Mabry is
irresistible.
Mabry is not perfect.
She is smart. She is
beautiful. She has a great career ahead
of her. But she is broken inside. She suffered a great tragedy as a child and
has never recovered. She used all the
wrong coping mechanisms to essentially numb herself. Mabry finally lets go when she meets
Brad. She sees a future for the first
time, but she still cannot let go of her past when their pasts collide. I love how honest Mabry is written. I love and hate that she has to work so hard
to be the person she wants to be.
Past Imperfect is
also one of the hottest books I have read in a while that still pulled so many
emotions from me. Brad and Mabry’s
chemistry is palpable and together they make magic in the bedroom or anywhere
else they may be.
Once again this book is written beautifully. I felt everything both of these characters
felt. My heart dropped. My hands tingled. I cried.
I laughed. I wanted to throat
punch Ms. Bailey a few times, but I
still love her. She redeemed herself. J It is unique. This story is not the same story I have read
over and over again. Brad and Mabry are
characters all their own, and the fact that Bailey took a character most of us
despised and made us fall in love with him is amazing. She did in a totally believable way. He is still Brad. He did not morph into a completely new
person, but he did have a life changing experience.
Alison was born and
raised in Charleston, SC. As a child she would create (write) additional scenes
to TV shows and movies that she watched. She attended Winthrop University and
graduated with a major in Theater. While at school she began writing one act plays
which she later produced. Throughout the years she continued writing and
producing several one act plays, but then life got in the way and she hung up
her pen for a while. At the end of 2012 a very talented author friend convinced
Alison to go back to writing and see what happens. So she did and fell back in
love with it. Present Perfect will be Alison's first self-published book. A few
personal facts, Alison loves anything sweet, especially frosting, and is
addicted to Diet Pepsi. Alison's philosophy: Don't let your obstacles define
you. At times life can get pretty overwhelming, but with a great support system
and a lot of humor you can get through them. If you have humor in your life
your spirit stays strong and you can tackle anything.
