Growing up with a bad reputation and the indifference of those around her made Liz Sutton determined to leave her past behind to pursue her dreams. When she receives an email from a young girl claiming to be her niece asking for help, she must return to the place she once swore to forget. What she doesn’t expect is to run into the one person who broke her heart, Ethan Hendrix, the father of her child.

Ethan Hendrix is stunned when he runs into Liz Sutton, the girl who had once stolen his heart and the one he betrayed. When she reveals that they have a child together, he is angry and vows to make her pay.

Almost Perfect by Susan Mallery completely passed all my expectations. As the second book in the Fool’s Gold series, it shares the same setting as the first book in the series Chasing Perfect but it’s a story all on its own. Grab a box of Kleenex and settle down because you are in for a fantastic ride. I found myself engrossed in Liz’s life as she tries to sort out each dilemma that is thrown her way. Her choices and the circumstances that followed each one set the pace of the story and both characters are surprised to realize that passion still exists between them. The question is: Will it be enough to build a future on? The push and pull of their relationship was excellent and even though I cried a couple of times, the ending completely made it up to me.
