About this listen
Brantley Morrison is a drinker of whiskey, a solver of problems, and a collector of mutts - the kind of loyal, hardworking guy you want on your side, and you’d best not get on the wrong side of.
Alyssa Walton never meant to find herself on Brant’s bad side and never even met the man until he showed up in her bedroom with a loaded gun and a plan to destroy her.
When Alyssa and Brant collide, his simple problem-solving mission gets a whole lot more complicated. Turns out, Alyssa is nothing like he expected, and she just might be everything he’s ever wanted. Sure, she’s a little afraid of him, but every relationship has its obstacles.
Brant’s never had anyone like Alyssa around, someone loyal and kind who can smoothen over his rough edges like she was born to do it. Alyssa’s never met a man like Brant, either, and while she admires the way he looks out for those he loves, she can’t help wondering, who’s looking out for Brant.
Now, faced with wanting the girl he was never supposed to keep, Brant has to make an impossible choice.
Does he give up the girl who has brought sunshine into his lonely life, or does he hold on tight, even if it might mean letting down the people he’s spent his whole life protecting?
The Imperfections is a full-length stand-alone novel that includes dark and sensitive themes.

Not to mention, he's my sister's ex-boyfriend. If I were smart, I'd walk away. Lines are getting blurred. Boundaries are being tested. And rules are about to be broken.

The plan was simple: Destroy the girl. Ruin her life. Make her and her mother leave. Only…she’s not as easy a target as I thought she’d be. She’s nothing but a pawn, a tool for my father to use against her mother. But pawns don’t fight back the way she does. They don’t violate my sanity the way she does. She put herself in the mouth of the beast. I wanted her out of the way, but now…I can’t let her go.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

After being a soldier, working as a bodyguard should have been simple: Keep the owner of DC’s ultra-secret club safe, don’t think about his midnight eyes or his devil’s smile, don’t surrender my body to his wicked desires. But I underestimated Mark Trevena and the power of his dark, seductive world. I underestimated the hold he’d have on me, the way I would do anything for him at all. And so when he asks me to escort his soon-to-be bride home, I can only—miserably, broken-heartedly–say yes.

Story
The night of my birthday looked as boring as the rest of my life. Sitting on my own, trying to avoid my insanely gorgeous but horribly mean flatmate, all while waiting for him to leave so I could have a party for one…if you know what I mean. But that was before I almost crashed on the way home, when a big top rolled into town. Before I locked eyes with the hottest guy I’d ever seen swinging a sledgehammer in the rain. Before I read the flyer promoting the once-in-a-lifetime circus. A circus that wasn’t the usual garish carnival…oh, no…this one was most definitely not for children.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Being attracted to her isn't wrong…but acting on it would be. As the patriarch of the powerful and wealthy Cavalieri family, my choices come with consequences for everyone around me. The roots of my ancestral, billionaire-dollar winery stretch deep into the rich Italian soil, as does our legacy of ruthlessness and scandal. It isn't the fact she is half my age that makes her off-limits. Nothing is off-limits for me. A wounded bird caught in a trap not of her own making, she poses no risk to me. My obsessive desire to possess her is the real problem—for both of us.

Story
Every time I step on stage, I feel alive. But that doesn't compare to the way I feel when I'm with Evie. She's an angel, so f*cking innocent. My story is written plainly in the lyrics I write; I'm an ex-con with the ghosts of my past everywhere. A man like me will ruin a girl like her. The record deal I dreamt of was just handed to me, the life I should want is mine for the taking. But the only thing I want is the girl I can't have.

With a nickname like "Sin", it's no wonder they call me the bad boy of hockey. Opponents curse me. Fans scream my name - in the arena and in other, much more private places. Penalties or not, I'm not afraid to dish out a little pain. But pleasure? That's my weakness. And no one knows it better than my best friend, Cassie Desrosiers. I'd have to be blind not to notice her rocking body and teasing grin. So when she invites me along on a trip to Vegas, my curiosity isn't the only thing that's aroused.

I used to fantasize about meeting a masked madman who would love me endlessly and obsessively. He would look after me in a world where no one else did. He would manipulate all the strings that held up my life until I had exactly the one I wanted. And then one night, I met him. Only he wasn't the hero I always imagined he would be. When we left the forest together that night, I thought I'd escaped the villains relatively unscathed, but my true villain was the man whose arms I felt safest in.

What would you do if your father gave away your hand in marriage to settle a gambling debt without your knowledge? Mine did exactly that. But I didn't get married, I conked the guy on the head, kicked my heels off, and hiked up my skirt. 'Chubby legs don't fail me now' is what I muttered just before I fled the little Woodland Church. The only problem is that I may have fled the flames but I jumped right into the fire when I threw myself in the middle of a lonely road into the path of an oncoming car.

I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

The night of my birthday looked as boring as the rest of my life. Sitting on my own, trying to avoid my insanely gorgeous but horribly mean flatmate, all while waiting for him to leave so I could have a party for one…if you know what I mean. But that was before I almost crashed on the way home, when a big top rolled into town. Before I locked eyes with the hottest guy I’d ever seen swinging a sledgehammer in the rain. Before I read the flyer promoting the once-in-a-lifetime circus. A circus that wasn’t the usual garish carnival…oh, no…this one was most definitely not for children.

The last thing I expected when I married at twenty-two was to remain a virgin at twenty-four. My husband didn’t want me; he married me out of obligation rather than love, and I thought nothing could hurt worse than that. But my solution, marriage counseling, was only the beginning. The first time I saw Shane, I knew I was boarding an express bus to hell because my husband never made me feel a flicker of that spark, and that was before we shook hands.

I’ve been a Sam Mariano fan for a long time, and this book does not disappoint. Aaron Shedlock does such a perfect job with Brant and Ava Lucas is an awesome Alyssa. I wish Sam Mariano had more audiobooks out but for now this is a good start!

5 Perfectly Imperfect STARS
Absolutely loved this book! It’s a little forbidden, a little dark and a whole lot of steamy. If you don’t mind flawed characters who may be a little crazy but are loyal to a fault you’ll enjoy this listen. I don’t know what else to say because I don’t want to spoil anything. Just know that Brant is not your typical hero but I still fell in love with him.
Narration was great! Aaron Shedlock was amazing as Brant. Ava Lucas also did a fantastic job!

That was a little different
I’m not quite sure how to review this one. It didn’t feel like Sam Mariano wrote it to be quite frank. Yeah, it had elements I’m used to reading from Sam but just lacked that pizzaz she has that adds a little somethin somethin to her stories. It WAS a good read, just not the usual amazing read.
The concept REALLY gripped me and that’s the part that drew me in! The direction it took was a bit less Alpha and I’m just realizing while I’m writing that THAT is what is missing from this story! The H just wasn’t “Alpha” enough. Not a bad story AT ALL, just not the I don’t give an F attitude I’m used to from Sam where her male leads are concerned. Yes, Brant cared but he was so stoic we didn’t get a ton of emotion outta him. He was pretty laid back, almost seemed to really feel his age and seemed to just flow through life and okay with his place in the world.
Whereas Alyssa was a very ditzy girl who just wanted to please people and put her needs on the back burner, for the most part, and let anyone do anything to her. She did hurt someone in the process which was the only real contradiction I didn’t feel was cleared up with her super caring personality.
If you did the audible version Ava Lucas was awesome as always but I didn’t like Aaron Shedlock, he sounded like a breathy “wise guy” who watched the movie Dick Tracy one too many times. He took me out of the story everytime he read but I did get used to it thankfully! Worth the read as is anything my Sam but not one of my favorites, by a long shot.

Fantastic listen!!
So, this is my first Sam Mariano book, and when I first started listening to it, I was in shock. The taboo, the forbidden had me wondering, do I go on? Of course I do! I want to know more! Alyssa is an 18 year old who has made some bad choices. As a result of these choices, Brant comes into her life. 17 years her senior with a dark past, he isn't there to be friends, but there is a desire he feels that he cannot deny. And now as a result, he has to make a choice. Does he keep her in his life or does he destroy those he loves? At first, I did not like Alyssa. No matter the circumstance, no matter her age, I was totally disenchanted....until I got to know her better. It was a forgiveness that just happened. Then there is Brant. He is all alpha protective, broody yet tender and so confused with his feelings, it was easy to love him, even with his darkness. The secondary characters just add more flavor to the story, letting us hate Theo and feel for Brant's sister. It's a book easily caught up in, making me cringe at times, wonder why people choose the decisions they do, and take me out of my comfort zone. It's all encompassing and the perfect diversion.
Aaron Shedlock and Ava Lucas team up to bring this story to life. A better casting could not have been chosen. Shedlock falls into character as Brant. He adds a element to his voice that gives Brant a thread of darkness. Playing the protector, he has an edginess and truly emulates Brant's personality. Lucas masks her normally sultry voice and gives Alyssa a young innocence with attitude. Her talent amazes me, falling from the young Alyssa to the scorned Bri flawlessly. Their performance enhanced this listen and made me love these characters!

The Imperfections
Brantley and Alyssa are a very unlikely couple, but sometimes fate, luck, trust and the will to live outweigh the odds! This story is fast paced and really hard to put down. Aaron Shedlock nailed the narration. And Ava Lucas did a fantastic job as Alyssa I was not a big fan of her Brantley though. The story was really good and I would highly recommend it!

Oh well
It's weird now. I liked it, but then some parts were unfathomable, so it's a conundrum
The nubile nanny gets sexulaly manipulated by the father of her wards and she falls pregnant.
Here's the thing, she knew he was married, and after multiple times, she's still lying the wife to her face.
That is icky
Secondly she falls pregnant and the man sends his brother in law to "take care" of the problem.
He goes to the dump of a place to kill her. Ends up having sex with her, then taking her home!!
All through their "situationship", the Hero is lying to his sister and brother-in-law, Having regular sex with a pregnant girl half his age, Then finds the solution in marrying her.
Make it make sense.!!
What I liked was that this bizarre scenario was written well. So I DID like it. So you can see my Dilemma!
It's a hotch-potch mess, with baby-daddy coming back to grape the poor girl too.
The end was satisfying in a creepy way.
The heroine was another big irritating factor. Selfish, moronic and very very short.sighted. But I guess dirt poor, 18 year old, pregnant girl has blood rushing to her feet more than her head. And the two cells were busy dreaming up sex positions.
Oh well. Saving grace - narrators aaron shedlock and Ava Lucas

The Best Emotional Rollercoaster
This book is the best emotional rollercoaster ever. No one can write romance novels featuring two imperfect people whose screwed-up-ness perfectly matches together like Sam Mariano, and this book does not disappoint. Brant and Alyssa are perfect for each other, but circumstances outside their control are keeping them from being together. But when they are together, they have explosive chemistry. I absolutely loved this book and 10/10 would highly recommend it. And the narrators are awesome too. Both of them.

Murderous Romance
If you like a dark romance and can get through the trigger warnings you are in for a good ride! Brantley is all alpha, sexy, possessive and dangerous. Alyssa is innocent and perfectly matched as she loved Brantley for who he is, no hesitation. Add in all the smexcy scenes and it’s perfect! It does have an HEA and perfect epilogue ❤️
Narrators did a good job. I didn’t like the female when she did the male voice but her parts were good. I always prefer a duet narration but this was still a good listen.
⚠️ Spoilers Ahead
I was so annoyed by Brant’s sister Bre. She knew all he would do for her yet still judged him, even when she had the bad taste for men!
Alyssa is innocent and accommodating. I don’t like how she seemed to fall for anyone. She let Theo take her virginity and even started day reading about Dirk possibly being a good guy. You can’t even blame Brantley for being jealous and cautious. Plus when she almost didn’t want to go through with the wedding, I couldn’t believe it! I mean yes Brantley was cold to her but she did lie to him. She knows he can’t stand lying what did she expect!?
Brantley is just dangerous perfection! I love how he has no problem being himself and always steps up for family. Even taking Alyssa’s sister under his wing.
