Product Description
A rootless foster child, Julie Mathison had blossomed under the love showered upon her by her adoptive family. Now a lovely and vivacious young woman, she was a respected teacher in her small Texas town, and she passionately lived her ideals. Julie was determined to give back all the kindness she'd received; nothing and no one would ever shatter the perfect life she had fashioned. Zachary Benedict was an actor/director whose Academy Award-winning career had been shattered when he was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. After the tall, ruggedly handsome Zack escaped from a Texas prison, he abducted Julie and forced her to drive him to his Colorado mountain hideout. She was outraged, cautious, and unable to ignore the instincts that whispered of his innocence. He was cynical, wary, and increasingly attracted to her. Passion was about to capture them both in its fierce embrace...but the journey to trust, true commitment, and proving Zack's innocence was just beginning....

 This is going to be my favourite McNaught June 29, 2008
I have some thoughts I'd like to share with other readers of Perfect.
First, there were times I didn't like Zachary at all. When I compare him to my other two favourites Judith's heroes - Clayton and Ian, whom I love from begining to end, I find something in Zack that bothers me. I don't know what it is, maybe his first name :-)
Then, again something different comparing to Whitney and Almost heaven: I can't wait to see the hero and heroine together, and in Perfect they meet at page number 111, but, strange to me, I wasn't impatient. I enjoyed the way Zack was plannig to escape from prison and his dramatic way to achieve it and when Zack and Julie said good bye in Colorado, I again wasn't nervous, I was curious not only about their love-story, but as well about the detective plot.
Next, I caught myself smiling when reading about Zack and Julie's play in snow. It was very sweet.
And finally,( I don't know if anybody had noticed it too) I got the feeling that Zack was Ian Thornton's great-great grandson. Why? Look at his surname - Stanhope - Ian was the future Duke of Stanhope. Zack has Ian's amber eyes, Zack's sister name is Elizabeth - just like Ian's wife, and brother of Zack is called Alex - just like Ian's wife's best friend :-)
I recommend.
the only book i will ever give 5 stars June 14, 2008
I absolutely love this book it is the best book i have ever read . i have read over 100 books and no other books {besides any of judith mcnaughts books} can compare to perfect it was just as the title says its perfect
It was indeed Perfect February 10, 2008
So good. Can't wait to re-read. Judith makes the characters so likable. I wish she would write a hundred more books just like it.
WOW! PERFECT title for a perfect book! November 23, 2007
This is by far the BEST book I have ever read! And this is coming from a gal who rarely reads a love story of any type. Zack and Julie develop a love that transcends time...and how they get to that part is one wild ride. He is got to be the sexiest character that I have ever read, and Julie is the luckiest heroine ever. Their story touched my soul. I have never read a book - no matter how good it was, more than once until I first read Perfect. I now have to replace my dog-eared copy that I have let everyone on the planet borrow, with another so it will hold a place of honor in my library. Outstanding read and I recommend this perfect book to everyone who will lend me an ear. I would give it 10 stars if I could....and Zack, I now look for you in every man.
My first romance novel October 21, 2007
I picked up Perfect because I found it on my mother's bookshelf years ago, and enjoyed it so much I have since been hooked on romance novels. Although I have read numerous romance novels since (I'm a pretty prolific reader) I still number some of McNaught's novels (such as Once and Always and Paradise) as among my favorites. Unlike many novelists, McNaught enriches her love story with a depth of emotion that is sure to evoke the reader's pathos. I noticed Perfect has been criticized for having an unrealistic storyline, which is an obvious tenet of the romance genre in my opinion. However, Perfect stands alone among most romance novels in that the conflicts of the story are rational and the characters are, while idealized, believable and (most importantly) likable.
In other words, I found this book to be a really lovely, evocative read and would heartily recommend it for someone who values character development over general plotline as I do. Hopefully, my opinion is not overly influenced by nostalgia :-)
