This was an ok read. The romance wasn't an instant-love, which I thought was a good thing. The subplots were just ok. The description of the Fool's Gold was nice, even if a little unrealistic with the girly bar, and the vast majority of the characters all female.

This is the second book of Mallery's that I completely read (just finished Tempting). Before those, I tried reading Only Mine (book 4 of the Fool's Gold series) but didn't finish it. Finding Perfect is the 3rd book and I enjoyed that so much more than Only Mine.

As with the one other Mallery book I completely read, Finding Perfect had a lot of subplots going on. I think it was a little too much. There was the current going-ons of the town Fool's Gold, the bachelor auction and female auditions. Then there was issues of a school that got burned down and being relocated. And then there was issues of foster children, sports (being that Raoul the hero was a star football player), and so forth.

And all those subplots had just a small amount to do with Pia and Raoul - the main characters. They had drama of their own. Pia had to worry about Crystal's embryos and Raoul had trust issues.

So through the giant cloud of subplots that almost made this feel like I was reading a soap opera, the story of Pia, Raoul, Peter and the three embryos was nice
