Jack Grant knew exactly what he wanted. A successful businessman with little time or patience for dating, a membership to Perfect Events suited his lifestyle perfectly.
Thirty-two carefully selected criteria ensured his dates were a match for his very particular taste.

He’d bedded some of the most beautiful women in the world since becoming a member of the elite dating club.
All of his wants were met.
Yet none of his needs.

REVIEW
In this short story we meet Jack Grant… he’s, well, he’s kind of an arrogant prick, but he completely pulls you in. Jack is a very wealthy financial trader in NYC that does not make the time for dating or love. Under the persuasion of his employer once he makes partner, he is “enrolled” in a dating club run by Liv Daniels. Liv and Jack share great chemistry… the thing is, it’s all in correspondence, while Liv is trying to find “the one” for Jack.
I was wrapped up in the story; it flowed very nicely and kept me entertained and eager to find out if we were going to meet the elusive Liv. I was also very intrigued by the supporting character Alexis, Jack’s best friend, and the only person he seems to truly let into his life. It was a nice touch to his character, makes him a little more likeable. There seem to be a lot of unsaid feelings in this story and I can’t wait to see where Dylan takes that in book two, Perfect for Me.

She leans toward me, closing the small gap between us and brushes her painted lips against my cheek. “And you look exactly like what I’ve been needing, Jack.”
She’s aggressive. And she smells good enough to eat. The blonde hair that is on my list of requirements is perfectly styled. Long, sexy, and outlining her full breasts that are the centerpiece of her tight black dress. Elegant, yet still provocative enough to make my slacks tighten.
“I ordered some appetizers in case you were ravenous,” she says, purring the word ravenous and letting me know I can eat anything I want. Anything.
I glance at the table. As if I could miss the three, silver domed-covered plates awaiting my arrival. I despise it when people try too hard.
“Thanks. But, I’m not. Not for food anyway.”
Dylan Scott is a New York trial attorney, wife and mother of four. She believes her job as a trial attorney is a subcategory to the field of entertainment more than it is law. With a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature she believed teaching English was a destined career choice until she realized her life long talent of "argument" actually could be her job. A recent, fairly boring, midlife crisis resulted in a brief stint as a middle school English teacher which confirmed that she wasn't ready to give up the law. Dylan has also taught legal courses at the college level and worked with at-risk inner city youth in the roles of mentor and coach. She was inspired to write Less than Perfect after reading all the great works of her Left Behind co-author, Vi Keeland.
