Publisher's summary

When Pia O’Brian’s best friend dies, Pia expects to inherit her cherished cat. Instead, the woman leaves Pia three frozen embryos. With a disastrous track record in the romance department and the parenting skills of a hamster, Pia doesn’t think she’s meant for motherhood. But determined to do the right thing, Pia decides to become a single mother. Only to meet a gorgeous, sexy hunk the very same day.

A former foster-care kid now rich beyond his wildest dreams, Raoul Moreno runs a camp for needy children in Fool’s Gold, California.

The Fool's Gold Series is a great listen.

What did you love best about Finding Perfect?

I love that the characters from the earlier book are reoccuring.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like Pia. She is someone you want to be friends with.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the older women ganged up of the rude women from out of town.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I liked listening to it in the car on the way to work for a week.

Not bad...

This isn't my favorite Susan Mallery series, but this third installment to the series isn't half bad (in comparison to the first two books of the series). The story is mildly pleasant, and the characters are likable enough. If you really want a good Susan Mallery series, look for her Buchanan series (starting with Delicious). To me, this Fools Gold series as a whole just lacks the WOW factor of some of SM's earlier work.

Very good read!!!

This is better than the Liz & Ethan storyline. Can't wait to read the next storyline

Lovely

Sweet reading. Uplifting. Enjoyed the ride with this cute couple. Made for good listening in the car.

Predictable but fun!

This is a light, predictable but nice summer listen. I've enjoyed other Susan Mallery books narrated by Tanya Eby, and this was just as enjoyable.

Best one yet !!!

For all you Susan Mallery fans who have read all/most of her books this story takes you back to the Key Sisters.
Raoul Moreno the High school football player that was dateing the Coachs (Hawk) daughter is the leading man in this fools gold story...

What is a girl to do

And it starts to get good. But honestly if she wasn’t dead I would smack that friend. Seriously what would I do with frozen embryos!
Raoul is a guy who makes you do a double look and gals you did!

Story good, narrator NOT

Of the three in the series this was the best story. The narration made me take 2 stars away from what could have been a great audiobook. Tanya Eby has very strange stop/starts, awkward pauses and poor voices for characters. Don't let her ruin the story for you. Read it instead of listening.

Another great story!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love this Fools Gold series so yes, I would recommend it to a friend.

What did you like best about this story?

The overall plot of her having her friends babies after she dies. Pretty amazing.

What does Tanya Eby bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love her performances. She does an excellent job!

Who was the most memorable character of Finding Perfect and why?

Pia is! She is so sweet.

Refreshingly Sweet

What did you love best about Finding Perfect?

I loved this book. The story was both engaging and entertaining with a Happy Ending.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Pia was my favorite character. Susan Mallery has a way of writing her character that is endearing. She's not too overly perfect, yet she has this intrinsic goodness.

What does Tanya Eby bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration is just okay to be honest. It wasn't horrible, but some of the voices she uses are a little odd.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, actually I usually listen to books at work. This one I took home because I wanted to finish. Such a nice story.
