New Romance Book Release As Close to Perfect by Maria Jane
I’m so excited to share my new romance book release As Close to Perfect by Maria Jane. Maria Jane is a new pen name for my romance books. Many authors will choose a new pen name for different genres and I’m super excited about this one. It’s inspired by my sister’s and grandmother’s names. My sister continues to support my writing and my grandmother loved her daily afternoon soap full of romance. Full disclosure, this is not a new pen name because the book is steamier than my prior new adult romances. I have plenty of fun romance scenes that I would classify as medium heat scenes but are fade to black on the most intimate parts, just like in my other new adult romances. You won’t read erotica or nudity in my books. Call it my southern, Bible belt upbringing but I prefer to keep my books in the fade to black category.
The MC is As Close to Perfect is Bree who you met in the first two books of the Perfect romance series, Perfect and Perfect Always, under the pen name Tricia Copeland. Bree is Chloe’s best friend and they attended the University of Kentucky together. This book is set in Lexington, Kentucky, the home of the University of Kentucky. It finds Bree a bit over a year after graduation in a new job and looking for a different type of guy. Enter Nate and Steven, who may admittedly be akin to the type of guys she tends to be attracted to and that has let her down a couple times before.

From the back cover…
She’s definitely attracted to his type and he seems as close to perfect as a guy could get. Only problem, she’d sworn off dating hot, muscled, athletic types for good.
Wronged by a string of jocks, Bree creates a hard rule: no dating athletes. Further, she enacts a list of other guidelines to protect a fragile heart. As per the rules, coffee meetups don’t count as dates, lunch doesn’t count as a date, there will be no physical displays of affection until after a real date, and no sex until he commits to an exclusive relationship.
Enter Nate. Tall and muscular with deep blue eyes and dark hair, he’s the perfect clone for the guys that hurt her before. If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck, right?
Enter Steven. She could not have ordered a more perfect person. Okay, so he is muscular, but not too tall. Be he’s also focused on his career. Definitely the mature man she’s been looking for.
When Bree allows herself to give in to her feelings, sparks fly. They’re happier than could be imagined. But being a couple is about more than just the two of them. Family, religion, location, and money all factor in.
Can they meet in the middle?

5* – Sarah, Goodreads
Bree’s story was an impressive reading experience. The reader gets to see her insecurities, her passions, her independence and watch her find her way at love and getting her HEA. She has a rough road at times, but she manages to stay the path. Nate is an endearing and caring man. He’s perfect for her, even if she’s not come to terms with him yet. These two along with their families and close friends have quite the story to tell. I enjoyed reading this.
The first novel in this series, Perfect, was “A sweet take on what’s important when it comes to finding the perfect kind of love.” – Christina Benjamin, author of the best-selling Boyfriend Series
