Kate Perry's Perfect for You feels overlooking a soap opera set in San Francisco, where characters all have their part play in each other's lives. This is start of the Laurel Heights series, and yet it managed to be a good story despite having to intro the series AND setup additional characters.
Freya Godwin's muse went missing just as a huge client came calling for a redesign, and Freya was not ready, and the company owner gave her a deadline... make something good... or pack her bags. Desperate to get her mojo back, she decided she's lacking her sexy, which lead her sister Anna to set her up with her upstairs neighbor Greg. There's only one problem... Greg's a lawyer, and a lawyer destroyed her family and indirectly lead to the death of their parents and Freya to abandon her dreams. But Greg's really a big softie behind the charming shark exterior. Can Anna and Greg's conspiracy throw off all comers and give Greg an in with Freya? Can Anna woo her sister's downstairs neighbor Max as well? What if Freya found out she had been played?
Normally a parallel romance wouldn't work that well as it dilutes the main storyline, but in this case, the secondary romance managed to fill out the main one due to close physical proximity (Greg's upstairs of Freya, while Max is downtsairs, in a pretty unique San Francisco Victorian architecture where three doors leads to three separate floors) and sibling relationships. Anna later gets her own novella when she tried to woo Max back. The antics the conspiring duo used to get rid of suitors for Freya are sitcom-worthy. Fun read overall
