A very personal trainer…

Personal trainer Bree Rice is happy to help Kale Barlow get in shape to win back his ex. Kale’s drive and enthusiasm make him the perfect client. He’s such a great guy, it’s easy to be his friend, too. All too soon, though, their friendship develops into something deeper…something off-limits.

Bree knows love and work don’t mix—been there, felt that heartache. But it doesn’t seem to matter how many times she reminds him of his original goal. Kale is nothing if not determined, especially when it comes to convincing Bree that they are the perfect partners, both in and out of the gym.

“Merry Christmas, Kale.”

The greeting came out much too quietly for the happy occasion, but her breath caught in her throat when he pulled her to him in a hug and his soft lips brushed her earlobe.

“Merry Christmas, Bree.” His breath scampered down her neck, where it should have been stopped by the shawl collar of her sweater. Instead, she could swear she felt it meandering its way down both her front and back, leaving a trail of warmth, then coming to a halt low in her belly and just hanging there like the high-pressure front before a storm.

Once she pulled away, she managed to get her breathing back under control as she helped him out of his overcoat. Beneath it were the same clothes he’d worn to the party at the gym, looking even better from ten more days of training.

She bit her bottom lip to keep from licking it.

Dear Reader (#ulink_2f115d68-b53d-52f5-a97c-5463a20f7ebc),

If I had to choose the one thing I love most about writing Mills & Boon Superromance stories, it would be that I get to make up real people. Now I realize that sounds like a paradox, but it really isn’t. Yes, the characters I write are fictitious, but they have all the qualities of a real person. They are everyday people, complete with perfections and flaws. They are the people next door and our best friends.

Years ago, I read a survey that asked women what first attracted them to their spouses, and I was surprised by the number-one answer: he made me laugh. Later, though, when I met my husband, I understood the answer perfectly. During our first date, he kept me laughing. I had such a delightful time, I wanted to see him again…and again. Oh, yeah, he was sexy with steely, gray-blue eyes and a charming smile, but it was his sense of humor that put me at ease and made me comfortable enough to open my heart.

In His Kind of Perfection, Kale Barlow struggles with his weight—as many of us do—while Bree Rice struggles with her eating. Although they’re opposites in many ways, it’s Kale’s ability to make Bree laugh that makes him endearing…and irresistible.

Ultimately, Kale and Bree learn an important lesson we all should know: you don’t have to be perfect to be perfect for each other.

Until next time,

Pamela Hearon
