I really enjoyed this book. There was just enough spiciness and complex characters that just kept me turning pages and reading as fast as I could.

I was nervous entering this book having read no other books in the series. I was nervous that i would be lost because of that, but luckily that was not the case. I do intend to read other books in the series now. I loved reading her writing and seeing a romance blossom in a way that is angsty, but also believable.

Almost ride over a guy on your bike is not how every love story starts, but it is for Talia & Peyton. Instant chemistry, whitty banter, interfering caring friends and a few personal dramas had my cringing, smiling, swooning and literally laughing out loud while I read this book. Enjoyable from start to finish. I read it as a stand alone and my first book by SA Wolfe, but an author I will no look for again.
Thank you for my ARC

I loved this story! It was very well written with great characters, and a little humor. Talia wants to hide her secret and thinks Peyton will be a steppingstone on her journey. The book was a little long but I enjoyed every page.
Many thanks to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Loved this story and it will definitely be one I will read again. This is a book in a series but can be read as a standalone. The characters are well developed and you feel connected to them throughout the story. The story keeps you engrossed and you can't (and wont) put it down.

Complementary copy given for honest review.

This book was fun, flirty and kept me on my toes. I loved the characters and their quest to figure out what life was meant for them. The author’s notes told of her personal experience and it completed the book.. Well done, Ms Wolfe!

An Absolutely Beautiful Story .
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of FLAWLESS through Netgallery . I really enjoyed reading this outstanding story .
It's well written has wonderful and unique characters truely an fantastic story . Talia Madej is a very strong and beautiful inside and out woman . She has worked really hard to support herself an her sister and mother . After her father up an ran out on them . Talia hasn't had an easy life after a medical issue that she keeps secret and the end of her engagement . Talias confidence needs a lift . She decides to ask the sexy Peyton McKenzie to help her out in more ways than just his restaurants kitchen . She knows he's only there temporarily atleast she tells herself that she just wants temporary . Peyton is a restauranteur in New York he doesn't plan on being in town long .
Soon the arrangement gets out of their control and emotions and feelings get involved . A lot of decisions need to be made and Peyton might need to think of others than just himself . This story is beautifully written . I think the characters are fabulous . An all out spectacular emotional journey . I was captivated from the beginning of the end . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

My favorite author. This was a long wait coming but was so worth the wait.

As always her characters were awesome. The books revisits characters from other past books also.

I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to reread the series so i can re-live all the nuisances of the books as a whole

This is one very interesting book that I really enjoyed reading it. It has own unique story about two very interesting characters. Both Talia and Payton are well developed interesting and easy to love. Each of them has their own personal baggage which they have to work on. I loved all the family drama, humor, and chemistry. I loved that I was not bored reading it and that there is a HEA for those two.

This was my first book by author S.A. Wolfe and now I can't wait to devour the other books in this series. Talia and Peyton's story is a wonderful read. The town of Hera is a place I wish I could visit! Even without reading the other books in the series you learn enough about the other characters so this is good as a standalone as well.

I had not previously read the other stories in this series and thankfully I didn't need to as Flawless could be read as a stand-alone.

I am a sucker for a slow-burning romance and Flawless gave me exactly what I needed. Humour, romance and explosive chemistry! The attraction between Talia and Peyton is undeniable and its a pleasure watching them grow together, despite their baggage and struggles.

A great read and a must read for anyone who enjoys the genre.

I was engaged in this story until about halfway through and then it just seemed to go off the rails for me, the storyline got a bit sidetracked and I just skipped through the last pages.

I was not a fan of this book. The pacing, the main characters, the romance just didn't do it for me.

What a Flawless story! The awkward and caring heroine was a perfect match for the charming, workaholic Romeo. Their arrangement was a deal made in desperation. Their love was unavoidable.

Flawless isn't an easy read. They don't have a hearts and rainbows relationship. It's real with ups and downs and a ton of "luggage." I absolutely adore Talia's strength and inability to see the humor in her language barriers. (She reminds me of my husband!) She sees it as a weakness but I only see her ability to overcome. I

While they might not be the "perfect, glamour " couple, these two have chemistry and heart. I think they are perfect. And if the ending has any hints, I know who's next in this series.

I wasn't a huge fan of this it was ok but I expected more from it I guess. The plot wasn't bad and the characters were good

A nice slow burn romance, problem was a little too slow to start for me , by the time it picked up I think I had lost so,e of my interest. If it had picked up pace a little sooner would have been so much more

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Talia works as a personal chef and enlists the kitchen of a restaurant her friends own when a fire takes her kitchen. She meets the brother and manager of the restaurant and the attraction is fast. The romance is more slow building and meets many obstacles. There are many characters and the book takes it time to build the world that encompasses the lead characters. I loved this book and felt a loss when it ended because I knew I would miss these characters. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

After reading the blurb for this book I thought it sounded quite interesting and since this was a new author for me I thought I give it a fair shot. I think I did, but I just couldn't get past the 25% mark -- there really isn't anything that makes me dislike this book, it just didn't grab me like I thought it would. It's quite long and moves rather slowly and I kept waiting for it to pick up but I found myself not picking up my Kindle to read it. Unfortunately, this is a DNF for me. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC through NetGalley and my thoughts and opinions are my own.

Extremely well written and enjoyable story

I really liked this story about a Polish caterer and a wealthy restaurant entrepreneur who are both in between events in their lives and are attracted to each other so they decide to have some fun together in the interim, both knowing it is short term. Talia had recently gone through heart surgery and hasn’t told anyone in her small town other than her Mom and Sister who helped her recover at home. Her ex boyfriend couldn’t handle her illness or the fact that it might be genetic and left her in her time of need.

The rest of the town thought she was on vacation with her father in Florida. Peyton comes to town to open a restaurant, his family and friends live in town and a few of them are working with him on the restaurant they are opening. However, he plans to leave soon after the opening to start up more restaurants and become wealthier yet. Talia wants to stay and hopefully move on to a more stable marriageable partner by that time, possibly her new client Evan.

The book is very detailed and has a lot of action and situations, it is very long. It held my interest the entire time, but I think maybe it was a bit too long by a boy 150 pages. That is just my personal opinion though. Otherwise it’s was stellar. I liked all the characters in the town and in both families and thought the book was funny in places and deep in others. It dealt with some mental heath issues and there was an intervention that was both realistic and pretty funny. I really liked it.

Flawless, Fearsome Series Book 4, S.A. Wolfe

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Women's Fiction, Romance

Gah, women's fiction: c'mon publishers, this category has no place in 2019. Men read romance, men write romance, stop trying to alienate a potential reader base.

So, the story appealed to me and I really admired Talia. Peyton was sex on legs too, and I should have been glued to the page but....I just wasn't.
Its a long read, usually I'm all over that, really lets me get lost in a novel, gives time to get to know the characters but here, well, I just didn't connect with the story.
I put it aside in case it was just my mood – that happens, but on second read it still wasn't great for me. After the halfway mark I skim read the rest, just wanting to see how it finished rather than enjoying the journey through the story.
There are some terrific characters, I hadn't read earlier stories but each are stand alone and I don't think that had anything to do with me not really gelling with this book.

Its well written, has lots of detail, side plots, and characters feel very real. Somehow though for me it just lacked intensity, I'm all about the nasty characters, the angst, the drama, and though there were suggestions of it here for me it just wasn't enough.

Stars: three, it was fun in parts, had some great characters but overall it wasn't a great read for me.
