Accountant slash bartender Reg will show rock star Jeremy how to have fun...and possibly fall in love.
Hollywood royalty Jeremy Jameson has lived a sheltered life with music as his sole focus and only friend. Before embarking on yet another international concert tour, he wanders into a bar in what he considers the middle-of-nowhere and meets a man who wins him over with his friendly smile and easy-going nature. Accountant slash bartender slash adventure-seeker Reg Moore has fun talking and drinking with The Jeremy Jameson and can't say no when the supposedly straight rock star makes him a once in a lifetime offer: keep him company on his tour by playing the part of his boyfriend.
Listening to music, traveling the world, and jumping off cliffs is fun. Falling in love is even better. But to stay with Jeremy after the stage lights dim, Reg will need to help him realize there's nothing pretend about their relationship.

With the worn-to-hell baseball cap pulled low over his face, Jeremy Jameson walked into the bar. At least he assumed it was a bar, based on the lopsided sign out front that simply said "Bar" in peeling red paint and the stench of beer and cigarette smoke that permeated the air. The interior space wasn't any cleaner or hipper than the parking lot.
Jeremy tried to remember the last time he had been in a club or bar or restaurant that wasn't sleek with carefully positioned lighting and well-maintained fixtures. Never. The answer to that question was never. Even musicians who started on the bottom and worked their way up probably wouldn't have come to a dive like this; it was too small, too out of the way, and it didn't have a stage or any room to set up equipment.
Internally lecturing himself for thinking about work…
over all this romance and this couple kept me reading right up until their happily ever after....Jeremy and Reg connect right off the bat. They have great chemistry and banter and Reg seems to know exactly how to manage the high-maintenance Jeremy....I loved how their relationship slowly developed into a very deep friendship and then eventually into an intense love affair....They are fun, incredibly sweet and once they enter into a sexual relationship, smoking hot....This friends to lovers romance was so sweet and endearing that I would recommend to any lover of contemporary m/m romance.
This really is a heart warming story. Both characters are likeable but in such different ways....It was lovely to see their relationship grow and to watch in particular Jeremy's realisation that his past failures with women may actually be down to the fact that he is in fact gay. He is needy and craves love and attention, luckily he has found Reg who is someone that is a natural giver (please ladies/men - I don't mean it like that) and enjoys looking after Jeremy and keeping him safe, secure and grounded. If you want to read a story of self discovery, friendship, love and loyalty as well as some hot M/M scenes; Perfect imperfections is the perfect (excuse the pun!) easy read :)
I loved watching the "faux-lationship" between Reg and Jeremy grow....Loved how Reg was with Jeremy. Yes at first he was there to see the world while acting as Jeremy's "pretend" boyfriend, but there was always something more between them. This is the first of Cardeno C's books that I have read, but I have already added a few more to my TBR list and to my Kindle.
This book was fan-freaking-tastic. ...I fell in love with this book so damn quickly. It made me laugh a lot... The relationship is so natural that it was a pleasure to read. I was giddy throughout the whole book; I loved watching JJ discover himself and loved the patience of Reg....I smiled so much, and even cried happy tears. I could see and feel the love between then developing and unfolding and that's pretty amazing. The story was well written...Watching it all unfold slowly, not rushed ... Great story, wonderful writing.
