Riley Walker makes all the right decisions and knows exactly where her life is headed.
Riley Walker does not make mistakes.
Riley Walker certainly doesn’t make spontaneous decisions.
But then Riley Walker gets dumped.
Spectacularly, gut-wrenching, stomp all over her heart dumped. And she is feeling more than a little angry. And a whole lot bitter. And suddenly the girl who has always done everything right feels like doing something completely wrong.
Garrett Bellows, lead guitarist for the local band, Generation Rejects, is going through life without a plan. Trying not to think past the next gig or the next party, he has worked hard to not become too attached to anyone or anything. So he is shocked to find himself drawn to the snarky girl with a chip on her shoulder. She pisses him off and puts him down. He knows she’s nothing more than a self-entitled college brat who thinks she’s better than the townie boy without a future.
Alcohol and a hefty dose of lust leads to a night both Riley and Garrett immediately regret. Her embarrassment, his pride and the weight of rumors and misconceptions convince Riley and Garrett that their one-time indiscretion will never be repeated. Particularly when their harshest critics are each other.
But how do you reconcile a head that wants to let go with a heart that keeps holding on?
And what happens when your biggest regret begins to seem almost perfect?
Excerpt
I listened silently, not sure what to do or say. This quiet, introspective side of Garrett had me off balance.
And when he started to hum along to the strange melody I had to stop myself from sighing aloud. Hey, even I wasn’t immune to a good-looking musician. I did possess the double X chromosome, you know.
His eyes were closed and his fingers moved along the fret board with a confidence that was definitely appealing. His face was open and unguarded and I could watch him like this forever.
I liked this Garrett. I more than liked this Garrett. He fascinated me.
Garrett opened his eyes and found me watching him. The air heated between us, the molecules practically crackling with electricity.
“God, you’re beautiful,” he said softly, as though more to himself than to me.
My heart was beating at a frantic pace in my chest, his words twinging something in my brain. Images flashed in my head of him kissing the inside of my thighs. I could almost feel his lips as they moved up my skin to taste between my legs.
The memory was so vivid that I knew it could only be from that night. Shit, I remembered him fucking me with his tongue before he crawled over top of me and told me how beautiful I was. And the look in his eyes had been earth shattering.
I tingled from head to toe and I desperately wanted to remember more.
Review
Prefect Regret is one of those love story that let you know not to judge a book by its cover & also just because you see the road that some else chose to travel don’t judge them. With that being said, I was completely shocked at Riley because when I read Bad Rep I had no clue that she was this stuck up bitch. Yeah the girls in the sorority showed their bitchy side but Riley kept hers in so no one could see. She played the role of this sarcastic girl who makes smart ass remarks to let people think she was a total bitch, until she became intimate with Garrett. Garrett made her realize that there’s more to life than going to college and getting that “perfect” job. But Riley did what she knew how to do best and pushed him away, but in the end she realized that Garrett was her “Perfect Regret” and she was his. Riley realized that you can’t help who you fall in love with and there is a reason behind Garrett’s play boy façade. Job well done by Meredith, I loved Bad Rep and I fell deeper in love with Perfect Regret, awesome story line that kept you wanting more.
