I have just finished crying from reading this book. I won't give any spoilers but Holly deserves a medal for all the crap she has to take from Jake, his family and her father.
The end is so sad I cried non-stop through those last chapters. I cannot wait to read the second book in the series. Please release this soon!

Holy Crap. This book was like a wild ride. I thought that Holly fell in love with Jake to quick. But then I thought they were just perfect and then I was like WTH....
Now I'm just really how could you leave me hanging like that.
I really enjoyed this book and to boot it was written by a fellow South African, AWESOME.
Loved it Isabella White. I can't wait for the next one.

In serious book hangover here! Very much enjoyed getting pulled into this story, and I pray book two doesn't release too far into the future. I'm totally offering up beta reading services should you need it. Congrats on a beautiful first book, I loved it...and now I won't be able to get to sleep lol!

Holly Scallanger receives an anonymous email one week before her wedding to Brandon Morgan learning that Brandon has been two-timing with Donna Sinclair. She goes to stay with her best friend and her husband. They arrange a blind date with Steward who also turns out to be a jerk. Since her mother and father are divorced after he cheated it is the nail in the coffin on her interest in men at the moment.

Months later they go the Bands of the World Bash where she hears about a guy who is every girls dream, but when she sees him he has chick hanging on him already. To make matters worse she runs into Steward who asks for a second date and after she politely declines and he still won’t take no for an answer she punches him and breaks his nose and injures her hand. So dream guy, Jake, insists on taking her to the ER. After a night of drinking and flirting, she ends up in his bed. She falls for him hard and fast, but Jake has a bad boy past and a line of girls waiting in the wings for him. Is Holly just another one-night-stand?

Overall, I absolutely loved the story although I totally wanted to kill one of the characters for how they acted! I fell in love with Holly IMMEDIATELY and thought her and Jake were the absolute cutest couple until Jake showed his true colors. Please, just get the book!!! I can't say how awesome it is without spoiling the story!

I have to say that one big issue I had with the story is how a young couple can “hump like rabbits” and not discuss birth control at all! Jake is studying to be a neurosurgeon for peats sake! I mean really, that cannot happen. I could buy a “in the heat of the moment,” but to not discuss it at all made no sense. There were also a few smaller issues of typos and sections that I had to re-read 2-3x to follow what was happening. That being said, I totally cried my eyes out at the end with what Holly goes through and I can’t wait for Secret Love in 2016!

This book pulled you in and really involved you in the characters. You'll need a box of tissues before you finish reading it.

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Imperfect Love by Isabella White.
Imperfect Love is completely Stunning. Such a beautiful book and such a horrid cliffhanger. The main characters Holly and Jake are so breathtaking and their story is achingly beautiful. I laughed, cried and threw my kindle across the room at one point. Holly although admittedly naive she is such a loveable character and you only want the best for her. The best appears to be the too perfect to be true and wanna be doctor Jake. Throw in some hilarious best friends and a crazy mother and you have a book that had me sobbing on the bedroom floor. Isabella White has managed to capture a moment in these peoples lives and have you living each day with them. I can not wait until the next book is out as i was deviated when i finished this book and i won't be able to rest until i find out what happens next!

I received this ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Holly is deeply hurt and demoralised when she finds out that her husband to be Brandon, cheated on her one week before the wedding. This is not the first time either and this time, she makes the decision she should have made years ago. She has the support of her best friend Bernie, and her husband Leo.

Jake Peters is Leo's best friend and meets Holly when they went to the same event. Jake is a laid back, intelligent and fun sort of guy who attracts a lot of attention from the opposite sex. He starts this relationship with Holly and as time goes on they become what would appear to be the perfect couple.

Jake is very dedicated to his family and being a student, his mother, Mara has set rules for him. His family is very renowned in the medical field and Jake is on his way to follow in their footsteps. They appear to get on well with Holly and everything looks positive for Jake and Holly, until something happens which according to Mara will get in the way of Jake's career. Jake is quite adamant that he loves Holly and nothing changes. Holly receives a text from Jake one morning to meet him at his mother’s, only he is not present when she arrives. Mara drops a bombshell to Holly's horror. To make it worse Jake confirms this terrible news with a very short telephone call.

This is when Holly's strength comes through and does what every decent person would do, as heartbreaking as it is. From here on I found it impossible to pull myself away from this book. The pain Holly goes through is very palpable.

Even though I found some of the contents in the first few chapters to be irrelevant to the story so far, it's one of these books which left me wanting for more when I got to the end. There are many question marks. Why did Jake's family have to hold a meeting to make the decision regarding Jake and Holly? Why did Jake react the way he did? Is he really such a coward? The other thing puzzling me is what Jamie told Holly during her short "out of body experience". She mentioned secrets! Are they related to the Peters family?

This is an intriguing, fascinating and compulsive novel where emotions run high. There are some very happy moments but heartbreaking in so many ways. I would fully recommend this to romance lovers. It ends on a fairly positive note for Holly but going by the twists in this instalment, the next one might be just as much of a nail biter. I can't wait.

This book blew me away. It was a little drawn out but boy did the cliffhanger throw me for a loop. I can't wait for the next book in the series and it's not out until 2016. I can't wait that long.

This was one of the best book I have read in a while. I can't wait for the second book. So much heartache. I love her character, she is such a strong person in this book.

Wow! What a ride! I was glued to this book!! Loved the characters, Holly and Jake! I need the next book ASAP!!

During the time I read this story, I felt as if I were a part of it. I found it very hard to put this book down. Isabella White does a fabulous job, describing the scenery. It made me laugh, cry and feel the love and hate Holly had for Jake.

This book made me laugh and cry, and in some parts it was so relateable I cried some more. It was a great read I completely fell in love with the main character Holly. She definitely has been through a lot and I can't wait to find out what is in store for her. The storyline was interesting and made me want to keep reading. I was surprised I finished it as fast as I did. I can't wait to get my hands on book 2 of the 4ever series!

This book is a tear jerker just a warning. It had me smiling one minute and crying my eyes out the next. Keep the tissues close while reading this because you'll need them.

Holly Scallanger at the beginning of this story is a little but naïve, thinks she has the perfect future ahead of her only finding out this isn't the case. She finds out her fiancé has been cheating on her and she leaves him. Her best friend supports her during the times where she's not sure if she did the right thing or not. She's in her anger phase when her friends Bernie and Leo decide its time for her to put herself back out in the dating world. After one disaster of a first date she tells Bernie that she is done and not ready to move forward yet. That all changes when she meets Jake.

Jake Peters is a really nice guy that everyone loves and all the women want to be with. Bernie and Leo push her towards him telling her it is perfect for her to have her second attempt in the dating pool. Jake is almost finished with medical school and comes from a well off family. His mother is a control freak. She doesn't want any of her children dating while in school. Jake tries to keep his relationship with Holly from his family which isn't something he can do when everyone knows his family. Word gets back to his mother and she wants to meet Holly. His family welcomes her warmly and Holly thinks everyone was exaggerating about his mother. She was completely wrong.

This book will have your emotions twisting at every turn yet you can't help but keep turning the pages. You can't help but admire the strength Holly has with everything she endured in this story. I cried so much in this book I had to wait to do my review because it was such an emotional story. I can't wait for the next installment to this series to find out what's in store for Holly. This was a new author to me and after reading this book I will definitely be reading more of her stories. Such an amazing story teller makes you feel for her characters as though they were your own friends. Another 5 star read for me

I hate cliff hangers, hate them. I was so pissed at the end of this book because the next book isn't available yet to read! I'm frustrated and I think in more shock than Holly!

Holly is done with her lying and cheating fiance. Good riddance! She's moving on and up!
Cause she can't go any further down right? RIGHT!

Holly meets Jake, things spiral out of control between the two of them. In a good way. The love Jake and Holly have is sweet love and nothing can come between them. NOTHING! Ok, well maybe one thing and that would be Jake's over bearing mom.
That woman is EVIL. Evil to the core. Holly needs the trust and security that Jake offers her. He treats her like a princess and woo's her, exactly what ever girl wants bur rarely gets.
When the whirlwind romance collides with his mom's agenda things go crazy.
Without a goodbye or anything Holly leaves to do what she knows it right. With or without Jake. She can do this and she will.
She is strong.

Jake is amazing. He was on my book boyfriend list, but what he did to Holly took him right off.
I'm sure mommy deartest is behind it, but damn, have some balls and say NO!
Stand up for what you want and what you love.
No matter what the cost.

This is a well written book, you get emotionally involved in Holly & Jake's life. You are a cheerleader on the side line, cheering for them.
You can do this! Rah rah shish boom ba! You can do this!
The end will break you, will crumble you up and spit you out. Your heart will wilt and fall out of your chest like a raisin.

I loved this book!!! I fell in love with Jake and Holly's love story! I was so happy with their romance until everything went down hill.
I cryed with everything that happened to Holly, I am a mother and I can relate and see her strugles. Oh how I wish Jake could have been there for her! I just can't wait to read the second book!

I am also reviewing on Amazon and Goodreads

The ending!!!! Cliffhangers are my nemesis! But the ride was worth it. Holly and Jake are great. Holly stands up for herself when she finds her soon to be husband cheating on her- she calls the whole thing off and tries to move on. Moving on includes hanging out with her best friend and her bff's husband, and while hanging out they happen to run into and meet Jake. The buildup for their relationship is romantic and sweet, but you feel something brewing- and BOY, does something brew.

Jake's mother is horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible. You will have to read to find out what happens.I have to say, everything ends up in the air, and I can't wait to read the rest- I hope there is a plan for the rest and they are released soon.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS BOOK!

This is the first book I have read by this author, and it literally gutted me! I need more of Jake and Holly. I NEED to know what happens. This book will have you going through all of the emotions as you will love and hate all of the characters at the same time. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series, so many questions were left unanswered. Do Jake and Holly ever get their happy ever after, or do they hate each other for everything. What about Jake’s mom? Does karma come and bit her in the rear? What about Gus? Does he ever get to be with his grandchild that he always wished for? So many questions!

I was happy I gave this book a shot, as it didn’t disappoint at all, and as I said I can’t wait for the next book.

Incredible, absolutely incredible. Okay, so for the first part of this book, I thought it was going to be pretty predictable. Some parts were a little roughly written, but I loved the chemistry between Jake and Holly, their relationship was fun to read, and I was pretty bummed on what happened. That's when the story took everything I thought was going to happen and threw it out the door. I'm not one for spoilers, so I won't start now, but this book kept me turning one page after another, and not wanting to stop. I NEED book 2 to come out NOW so I can find out what happens. Awesome book, great storyline and characters, although I will never understand how one can just pick up and leave everything behind, even best friends.

This ARC book was given to me for an honest review.

Whoever starts a book with a quote from Wuthering Heights has already got my attention.
Holly and Jake fall in love fast. Too fast, maybe.
He is studying to become a doctor so his mom doesn't want him to be in a relationship while studying. This is difficult to understand at the beginning because, come on! the guy is twenty seven. But the more you read, the more you really see what it is wrong with this woman.
I really liked this book. The characters are great although she is too negative sometimes.
I'm looking forward to reading the next one of this series!

WOW...just WOW! What a friggin ending.

Holly is fed up with men and seriously who could blame her, she caught her fiance in bed with her worst nightmare, but when she meets Jake she starts rethinking things and decides she's going to give it a shot. Jake is gorgeous, sweet, wealthy, studying to be a doctor, and a momma's boy. All pretty good qualities until things happen that he isn't ready to deal with or so we are lead to believe...I have a feeling there is much more to what happened there then we were told.

I have to say that Holly is one heck of a lady, she is stronger than most people give her credit for and when everything crumbles around her she picks herself up by the boot strings and does what needs to be done. I went through a half box of kleenex during the second half of the book. I had to put the book down a couple of times just to regroup. I am NOT giving any spoilers as to what happens just know that you should have some tissues handy and maybe forgo reading on public transportation after the halfway point.

This book has left me with more questions than answers...when is Secret Love being released?!?!?!?! I seriously need to know what happens next.

A perfectly imperfect love story brought to us by Isabella White. omg, this book was freaking AMAZING!!! And i need more!! I found myself laughing many many times and smiling even more throughout this book, and even after I finished. But it also brought tears to my eyes. and the last half of this book will always be in bedded into my heart and soul. I really enjoyed Isabella's writing style. And her characters were some of my favorites. Jake is finishing up schooling to become the next family Dr.. His mother is trying to lead his path and he's just trying to live it. And when he meets Holly, he takes whatever path he can to bypass his mother. I love Jake, his personality, his liveliness, and his heart. I'm extremely happy with his character in this book. But I'm ready to find out more about him and the whole 9 yards. Holly is trying to find herself after being cheated on. She doesn't think she could handle another sorry excuse of a boyfriend. But when she meets Jake, he might change her mind and heart. Holly was a wonderful light hearted woman afraid to experience the past all over, again and again. I also really enjoyed her character and I felt she played an amazing roll in this love story. But also as a remarkable woman. I'm ready for some more of Isabella's beautiful writing, I mean I NEED MORE!!!

A new introduction to this author. A good book that I found I could understand and relate with the characters.

Love the book. Growing up and being mad at your mother cause she gave up on life when your twin dies is never fun. Then finding love and going through tough trials. Then your faced with rough times and that makes you realize what you want to do

Imperfect Love was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly I have to say that this book was absolutely brilliant and so easy to get in to.
Isabella White made it possible to not only love and hate the characters, but also identify with them and their strengths and weaknesses.
What started out as something insecure was quickly built into THE love story.
Both Holly and Jake were like two matching gloves, they fit you and they were clearly made with the intent of being together.
But with love came carelessness and with that came betrayal, and sadly a bitter ending.

I honestly can't wait for the second part of this epic love story and hope that Ms White will decide to continue write Holly and Jake's story and share it.
If you want to read this epic and imperfect love story, then don't hesitate, it's a nice and easy read, but very emotional.
If you're against cliffhangers, then you'll have to wait until part two is on the horizon.
In any case, it's well worth it. :)
