This dual perspective book is the final installment in The Perfect Series.
Jayden Valdez is an overachieving intellectual. Mike McGinnes is Franklin High School’s dumbest jock. Even though they barely know each other, she finds his personality repulsive and he thinks she’s got a giant stick up her you know what.
Mike and Jayden are surprised and annoyed when their teacher pairs them together for Spanish tutoring. Both feel it’s a complete waste of time, since nobody could learn from a person who bugs the crap out of them. Not to mention that their reputations might be ruined if people realize what they’re doing.
But it doesn’t take long for Jayden to discover that Mike has a secret—he isn’t the person he appears to be. Much to her dismay, Jayden finds 'Secret Mike' strangely attractive. And for some crazy reason, Mike is amused by Jayden’s clever insults and witty banter. Suddenly, they have a much bigger problem than their mutual disdain. What started as irritating tension is beginning to feel more like romantic tension and acting on it would be a very bad idea.
Content Description: This is a stand-alone YA contemporary romance with companion novels. While part of a series, each book can be enjoyed independently. It contains minor language, innuendo, crude humor, kissing, and conversations that mention sex. There are no sexual relationships, written or implied, and there's no explicit language. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
Perfectly Misunderstood is the fourth book in the Perfect series by Robin Daniels. I think this was my favorite in this series. This is the last book in this series, and I'm so sad to see it end. But, I still haven't read book one, so I still have that to look forward to.
Jayden and Mike were a lot of fun. Jayden can be Miss Attitude, but Mike handles her well. I love how their relationship progressed. They went from barely knowing each other and having all these preconceived notions about the other to more. Plus, they both have hang ups and fronts they put up to protect themselves. Jayden is hard to like in the beginning. That girl comes a long way. For Mike, I kept picturing Seth Green's character from Can't Hardly Wait. He's not supposed to look like that, but that's how he talked, and I couldn't help it. His sense of humor was great too. He's one of those characters you wish was a real person. I enjoyed reading their story, and I recommend it completely. This book is a definite keeper!
Jayden’s glare intensified, and I could tell she was sending me mental death threats. Eventually, she gave up and sat down across from me. “Was that so hard?” I asked.
“About as hard as you head.”
“I have harder parts than my head,” I countered. Her eyes grew wide at the implication. I let her stew for a second before lifting my sleeve and flexing my bicep. “You think that’s hard? You should see my abs.” I’d said it as a joke, but it was basically true.
She was surprised for the briefest moment, then she grunted. “How Cro-Magnon of you.”
“Your grunt suggests you’re familiar with the genotype on a personal level.” I smirked.
Jayden’s eyes narrowed. “At least I’ve evolved. Your face suggests that you haven’t yet.”
I tsked in good nature. “Your face might be prettier than mine, but your manners prove you haven’t evolved as much as you think.”
