Known as the Unholy Trinity, West Archer, Ezekiel Cavanagh, and Xander King have earned their reputation as ruthless, ambitious, and intimidating men. With dark tastes and even darker desires, they’ve spent more than a decade searching in secret for the perfect woman to fit into their unique lifestyle. None have made it more than three months. After the most recent failed match, they swear to end their search—until they meet Lily Sloane. Yet, captivated as they are with Lily, they can’t help but fear that the penniless girl from Brooklyn is too good to be true.
I have mixed feelings about The Perfect Fit. The premise and character dynamics were intriguing, and there was ample, hot AF spice. However, the character development was superficial across the board, and the characterisation for FMC Lily especially was inconsistent. The inclusion of the mafia plotline, which I can only guess was shoehorned in in an attempt to capture the dark romance genre, seriously detracted from the story. Worst of all, however, was the most unrealistic, entirely avoidable miscommunication plot I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading, which results in the three MMCs West, Zeke, and Xander—powerful, successful adult men in their late 30s—publicly humiliating the FMC over… rumours from an ex they don’t like and a a shady PR guy . Although there’s plenty of grovelling after the fact, their actions are so horrific that the rapid resolution feels insincere.
