When Pia O’Brian’s best friend Crystal dies, Pia is stunned to realize that she has inherited three frozen embryos. Faced with doubts and a difficult decision, her life takes another twist when she meets the distracting but so very sexy, Raoul Moreno.

Former professional football player Raoul Moreno knows what it’s like to grow up in the foster care system. Raoul moved to Fool’s Gold in hopes of starting a camp for underprivileged children. When he learns of Pia’s predicament he can’t help but admire her courage and comes up with a crazy solution – marriage?

Finding Perfect by Susan Mallery was an incredibly sweet read for me. Pia and Raoul’s story is simply about doing the right thing. When Crystal leaves Pia her embryos, Pia automatically considers the possibility of carrying those babies to term despite her doubts, and Raoul is only too happy to follow her example. He admires Pia’s courage and is attracted to her, but past love has left him burned. In the past installments, Pia is featured as outgoing and energetic; here we see her vulnerable side and the difficult circumstances she has to overcome. The people of Fool’s Gold are also featured as they unite to offer support in a way that makes me envious enough to want to live in a place like that.
