I am a huge fan of Tracy Brogan and have recommended her books to at least a half dozen friends of mine, all of whom LOVE them and can’t wait for the next one. My Kind of Perfect is the third book in the Trillium Bay series and continues the story of the Callaghan sisters, specifically the youngest sister Lilly. This book tells the story of Lilly’s return to her family, whom all live on Trillium Bay island, with hopes she can get her life back on track after a May to December romance with an older man who has ties to her sister. Lilly meets two very different men and has to decide where her heart will lead her. The characters are so wonderfully developed and they are people that you can relate to with all of their closeness, disfunction, and endearing self-deprecating humor.

Sweet and cute romance. I must say I enjoyed more that I expected to. It is a 3.5 stars for me.
Thanks for this ARC.

This is the first book I have read by the author and it is the third in The Trillium Bay Novel series. It can be read as a standalone but I am going to go back and read the first two books that have Lilly’s sisters’ stories. Lilly is the youngest sister and she returns home after ending a brief relationship with an older man who is the father of her sister’s fiancé. As she begins to question her life and tries to find the missing pieces, she meets Matt, a yoga aficionado and Jayden, a Hollywood heartthrob. Matt is the kind of man who would share Lilly’s hometown values while Jayden would allow Lilly to live outside of her comfort zone. Who will she choose or will her past swoop in and reclaim what was lost? Overall, this is one enjoyable summer read with humor and will have anyone falling in love with the island of Trillium Bay. I recommend this book. I volunteered to read a copy of this book provided by Netgalley.

A wonderful addition to this series. Lilly comes home to Trillium Bay after her “scandalous” (because in a small town everyone has an opinion and your own doesn’t really matter) relationship with Tag is over. She was looking for a happily ever after, a family and a partner who lived up to his promises while he was looking for a trophy wife and had no problem going back on his word with no thought or concern about how it would impact Lilly. Upon her return to Wenniway Island , while figuring out what is next up for her she starts working for her sisters home renovation company. There is a lot going on on their small island and Lilly gets caught up in in figuring out what is best for her. Who should she pick? Matt, the transplant with a heart of gold, abundant kindness and maybe one of the nicest people ever or movie heart throb Jayden. What life does she want and who will bring her true happiness? In true Tracy Brogan fashion she takes us on a fun, witty, kind, thoughtful journey filled with family, love, old and new and possibilities for the future. This was a truly enjoyable read.

My Kind of Perfect by Tracy Brogan is a women's fiction novel following Lilly, who returns back to her small hometown in Michigan after a breakup with her rich, older boyfriend Tag who also happens to be the father of her soon to be brother-in-law. When Lilly returns she is struggling with getting her feet back and moves in with her grandma and helps her sister out, but realizes there is a connection with Matt, a yogi on the island. Shortly after a blockbuster movie is being filmed on the island and Lilly joins as an extra where she meets the dreamy Jayden. Now Lilly is spending time with both men while also trying to handle her other obligations and soon she will have to face which life path she wants. Glitz and glamour or simple and laid-back?

I will admit the cover drew me to this novel and when I read the synopsis I was instantly interested! This book is the third in the Trilium Bay series but I have not read the previous books in this novel so I am curious if reading the other books first matters or if this could be a standalone. This book is primarily a plot-driven novel as a lot of events over a relatively small period of time. The tone of this book was light and fun which made it easy to fly through. This is perfect for a beach read when you want something with a strong sense of place and a happy ending. The setting was so vivid and sounded almost exactly like Mackinac Island to me which was fun to travel to through this novel.

The narration voice of Lilly didn't always work for me and sometimes the things she said or thought seemed a little bit obtuse. Towards the end of the book there were some plot points that were a bit unbelievable but if you can suspend your disbelief a bit during these parts I think you will really enjoy this novel! I also appreciated how the romantic interests were handled and that Lilly was very clear on who she wanted and how she felt. This was a low-angst romance novel so highly recommend this for those who enjoy those.

Many thanks to the publisher Montlake and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

My Kind of Perfect is a great beach/pool side read for the summer. Ms Brogan brings the reader back to Trillium Bay on the shores of Lake Huron where the town is a much of a character as the people.

In this installment, the story is focused on Lilly, the youngest of the Callaghan sisters. Lilly’s story seemed to perfectly capture the idea behind “the grass is always greener.”

I appreciated how the author was both gentle with Lilly as she returned home and navigated figuring out what she wanted, but also made her seem some hard truths about life. Lilly’s sisters played a huge part of this story, and series followers will be glad to see what Brooke and Emily are up to now. Part of me feel like this is the perfect conclusion to the series, but I am also sad to see Trillium Bay go.

"So, for those of us keeping score, Lilly-vanilli went from having no boyfriend at all last spring, to having a rich sugar daddy who showed her the world from the deck of his yacht; then she dumped him; and now, two weeks later, she's dating not only the island's sweetest, sexiest yoga instructor but also ultra-mega-movie-star Jayden Pierce."

Well, when you put it that way.... Lilly knows how this SOUNDS, but the reality is not quite as glamorous. Yes, she was dating Tag, who was rich and older. That is over now. As far as her dating Matt and/or Jayden Pierce? She wasn't technically dating either one. But there was definitely potential.

When Lilly came back into town after her break up with Tag, she did not expect so much excitement and drama to be happening in Trillium Bay. She's back to stay and everything else is totally up in the air.

I adore that characters of Trillium Bay - a wonderful story!

I usually don't read books in this genre but I am glad I read this one. It is beautifully written and the characters are people who feel like friends. I haven't read any of the other books in this series but I am going to make that happen. If you like Jodi Picoult or Nicholas Sparks you will love this book. I highly recommend!
Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read this incredible ARC for my honest review.

My Kind of Perfect is my kind of perfect summer read with plenty laugh out moments, quirky townspeople, family and romance. Lilly has returned home to Trillium Bay after a failed romance to be with family and friends. Soon she has two suitors after her heart, Yoga Matt and Actor Jayden, both very different personalities but she will have to decide who is the perfect choice.

I could not put this book down, I love Trillium Bay, a small quaint island full of fun loving people that may be a little quirky and have you laughing out loud many times. Love the closeness of the sisters. Plus the words of wisdom, "It's true you can't love without trust".

I highly recommend you read this book along with the two previous Trillium Bay stories. They are stand alone stories.

Tracy Brogan once again displayed her talent in a wonderful, heart-warming, story in My Kind of Perfect by Tracy Brogan, book three in her Trillium Bay series. Reading this book had me laughing out-loud while finding tears falling down my cheeks, in the same paragraph; while falling in love with the people living in this island town.

This is youngest sister Lilly’s story as she moves on from her relationship mistake; a May-December that was all December and no May. Returning to Trillium Bay allowed Lilly to return to the comfort of home and family, move on from her failed attempt at romance, discover who she truly was, and understand the true meaning of love. Lilly is ready to find her place in the family, being the youngest and explore her dreams, not those someone else created for her. As Lily finds her voice, her self-worth, and is able to stand-up for what she wants, she also finds herself in a tug-of-war between two men, rivaling for her attention and heart. There’s heartthrob actor Jayden, star of a Hollywood movie being filmed on the island. He is not what one would expect and it was enjoyable getting that peek into a movie set. Then there’s Matt Eastman, a newcomer who the local calls Yoga Matt and popular with the island women, of all ages. Matt is quite a complex guy, something I didn’t expect. Then there’s the larger than life couple of Gloria and Tiny who added many laugh-out-loud, snort-like humor, to their scenes. Add in Lilly’s older sisters Emily and Brooke, her firecracker of a grandmother, her teenage niece, and her quiet, reserved father and life is anything but normal for this family.

Ms. Brogan wrote a story that was wonderful, humorous, entertaining and romantic that should definitely not be missed. This tale is rich with sizzling chemistry, amazing dialogue, and endearing/quirky characters while Lilly journeys to rediscover herself and find true love. I highly recommend My Kind of Perfect to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this story.

Author Tracy Brogan has written another engaging and lively novel with My Kind of Perfect, the third book from her Trillium Bay series. It is an engrossing read, replete with a captivating plot, well-defined characters, and a hot romance. Filmmaking and a couple of movie stars only add to the story's excitement. This story takes place on Wenniway Island, a short ferry ride from the mainland, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Complimentary copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

After the breakup of her May-December romance, Lilly is back in Trillium Bay, unsure what to do next. She takes a job assisting at her sister's construction business. There, she develops a friendship with former model Matt. There's an attraction between them, but she's not ready to start dating again.

Things get more complicated when a production company comes to Trillium Bay to film for a few weeks. Hollywood star Jayden chats her up, and Lilly can't help enjoying his attention. Is it wrong for her to spend time with both men while she's getting over her last relationship? Could one of them be her future?

The trouble with love triangles is, sometimes readers end up rooting for the wrong guy. That always seems to happen to me, and it happened again in this book. Apart from that, this is a fun book, just like the first two novels in the series. While it can be read as a standalone, it's probably more enjoyable if you read the series in order.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

When Lilly met Tag she thought he was a dream come true but when reality set in she believed that they wouldn’t be able to overcome their very different versions for the future. She finds herself starting over back in hometown not looking for love when two men come into her life.

Matt is a yoga instructor who has become part of the Island life while Jayden is a larger than life movie star. They both appeal to her for very different reasons and now she must decide what the life she wants to live looks like and which man is destined to play the starring role.

This is a heartwarming story about discovering who you are and what will truly make you happy. It is about learning from your mistakes and realizing that the choices that don’t give you the outcome you want lead you to knowing what you do want.

Tracy Brogan is an author who can make me snort laugh and shed tears within the same paragraph, fall in love with a quaint island of 600 people, and pretty much grin through an entire book. With her quirky characters, sparkling dialogue, and heartwarming romance, she brings Northern Michigan's (fictional) Wenniway Island and her colorful citizens to life in this feel-good book - and series - that I am having so much fun reading.

I really enjoyed Lilly's journey. I was ready for her to find herself and move forward to explore her own dreams rather than someone else's. It was immensely rewarding to watch her grow throughout the book, find her voice, her value, and stand up for what she wanted. What she deserved. I was cheering her on the entire way.

As with older sisters Emily and Brooke, Lilly's story is filled with humor, self-reflection, strong but sometimes complex family bonds, and sigh-worthy, though often complicated, romance. The quirky citizens of the island - including Lilly's family - once again added an abundance of humor and heart to the story while the Hollywood film crew were a surprisingly fun addition. I especially enjoyed heartthrob Jayden who turned out to be totally different from what I expected and I thoroughly enjoyed the peek behind the scenes of a movie set through the eyes of Lilly, her firecracker of a grandmother, and her star-struck, teenage niece. Other favorite characters included Gloria and Tiny, a larger than life couple who bring laugh-out-loud humor (it's best to not eat or drink anything while reading a scene that Gloria is in) along with tear-inducing sentimentality (father-to-be Tiny had me reaching for tissues). And then there's sexy, laid-back Matt Eastman, a relatively new addition to the island, affectionately referred to as Yoga Matt by the locals and enthusiastically admired by single women of many ages, who turned out to be a much more complex guy than I anticipated.

If you're looking for a fun, flirty, summer read that brims with humor, heart, family, and, just possibly, the perfect love for Lilly Callaghan, add My Kind of Perfect to your reading list. I laughed, I cried, and I pretty much grinned from beginning to end...which seems to be my normal progression with each Tracy Brogan book I read.

If this is your introduction to Brogan's Trillium Bay series, don't miss out on Lilly's sisters' stories in the first two books: My Kind of You and My Kind of Forever!

*ARC received for fair and unbiased review

This is the first book I've read by Tracy Brogan. This story contains a cast of wacky characters that bring Trillium Bay to life. I was especially drawn to Yoga Matt. He's unique and caring and has an obvious crush on Lilly. Jayden Pierce, the movie star, was just too flashy. Originally, I thought this book was going to be an age-gap romance which is one of my favorite tropes. It's not. While this is a super sweet story, it has very little spice. I would give this 1 star for spice and 4 stars for content. My Kind of Perfect is a good beach read. 3.5 stars

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley by request. I have read the previous book in this series but not the first book.

This story brought back the many characters from the previous books and it did not disappoint. Gloria and Tiny are having a baby, Emily, Chloe and Ryan are getting ready to move into the B&B and counting down the days until they become a family. Brooke and Leo are still madly in love, but this story is all about Lilly. Lily is back in town and ready to move on with her life post-Tag. Lilly knows what she wants from life and is pretty realistic. Which make Matt perfect for her - but then there is Movie Star Jayden - ugh!!!!

This book was Awesome!!! The last two chapters actually made my chest hurt! I was feeling all of the FEELS!!!! I will definitely purchase this book for my collection and suggest it to others!

4.5 Stars for My Kind of Perfect ( A Trillium Bay Novel Book 3)
Tracy Brogan is a fairly new author to me, in fact this is the first book I have read in this series so I’m prove this book can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone.
Lily is back home nursing a broken heart after walking away from her much older boyfriend. But life is never quite on this small Island and she finds herself thrown into her sisters wedding arrangements as well as becoming an extra on a movie being filmed on the Island. Falling for the star of the movie is one thing but add in falling for a local as well and you get a interesting love triangle.
If you love small town romances with families who love to give their advice and plenty of local gossip this is the book for you. My Kind of Perfect ticked my boxes, I smiled I giggled, I swooned and I sighed as I took a trip to Trillium Bay. I fell in love with this Island as well as its residents and I’m looking forward to playing catch-up with the previous books in the series. This is an entertaining read with wonderful characters and I highly recommend you one click this gem.

The third book in this collection and it was quite possibly the best of the three (you don't need to read all 3 in sequential order, but it doesn't hurt.)

I loved learning more about Yoga Matt and really diving into youngest sister Lilly's story.

Lilly is back home with her sisters, following tough times professionally and personally. She had been in a relationship with her sister's soon-to-be father-in-law (not cool), and back home she finds herself in a love triangle of sorts. Matt prefers a quieter, close-knit vibe, while Jayden is much flashier (and an actor!)

Lilly has to figure out for herself what her future holds, and if it is with either love interest. As a reader, I could see how Lilly could fall for Matt and Jayden, and I was pulling for Matt through the entire book.

This is a fast, light-hearted book that I would recommend if you are looking for a beach read for the day. Lilly returns to her small island of Trilliium Bay off the coast of Northern Michigan after a split. Currently jobless and homeless, she moves in with her grandmother and begins working on odd jobs for her sister. There, she connects with Matt who also works for her sister. Matt is laid back and even=keeled and she thinks there could be something there between them. However, the filming of a movie brings an entire cast and crew to the island and the mega-star, Jayden, catches Lilly's eye. The two begin hanging out and it leaves Lilly confused about her feelings about both Jayden and Matt.

This is a great summer read. I loved the setting as it reminded me very much of one of my favorite places, Mackinac Island. It has that perfect small-town feel. While at times over the top, the movie people provided ample entertainment. I liked Lilly's family and am interested in exploring their back stories. Lilly wasn't my favorite as I couldn't relate at all to her decision making, and am definitely not a huge fan of a love triangle, but I really liked Matt and his sweet, calming feel. He was a definite cinnamon roll hero.

Overall, I would say if you are looking for something light and fun to read then this is your book. While it is the third in a series from Brogan it can definitely be read as a standalone. I will continue to read more of her books in the future.

With her classic wit and warmth, Brogan takes us back to a quaint Michigan island to the third sister, Lilly. Bless her, Lilly is confused. She thought she'd found the perfect man. Yeah, he was a bit older, but he gave her the life she thought she wanted ...until she realizes she doesn't want that life any longer. Home again, Lilly is trying to figure out what she wants in life. In an adorable love triangle, Lilly finds herself courted by two men - one who speaks to her spirt, one who dazzles with his Hollywood life. Can she find love again? One thing for sure - she will find exactly where she belongs. Pack this one in your beach or pool bag. It's a solid romance :)
