The imPerfect Guy by Leddy Harper was my first read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought the storyline was very real and relevant to today’s world, and the characters each had very endearing qualities about them both, especially once each layer was revealed and we saw Mady and Finn as they truly are.
The imPerfect Guy is the story of Mady, a social media influencer and Finn, who Mady hires as her assistant. Mady’s business is growing and as such needs further help in running it, cue in Finn! Mady at first thinks Finn is female, and is somewhat surprised upon their first meeting to meet him! Finn is deep down a bit insecure and doesn’t trust that he could be what Mady wants in her life, more than friends and boss/employee. Meanwhile Mady, although beautiful and a savvy social media influencer has her own insecurities to deal with. And it was this that I connected with mostly in this story, as insecurities in life is a very real part of many people’s lives, with Ms Harper addressing this in a well-written and thought provoking way.
The imPerfect Guy was a fun read for me, it was witty and at times emotional, and it made me want to keep on turning the pages! I enjoyed Mady’s friends as secondary characters, they provided laughter and light to the story and the addition of Finn’s friends Kyle and Marissa rounded out the storyline perfectly. The imPerfect Guy is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone, as I have done. I will be reading more of Leddy Harper’s books from now though!
A 4.5 star read from me.

Mady is in need of a personal assistant to help her manage her increasing career as instagrammer. Enter Finn who looks for a challenging new job to motivate him more.
I didn't understand Maddy's character and her personality, she seemed a bit naive and her character wasn't someone to empathy with.
While Finn, was a bit closed off and didn't open up until later in the book.
It was a nice book, with some very cute moments.
*I received an arc and this is my honest review.

4.5 stars to the realest guy I know!
The imPERFECT Guy is absolutely adorably, awesome. Finn is real. He's your husband, your neighbor, the guy who peaks your interest at the coffee shop. He is not the latest cover model on GQ. He is not the photoshopped abs on display everywhere. He most definitely isn't the 'roided up gym rats that can't put their arms down and only stare at the mirror or reflective surfaces instead of looking you in the eyes.
But Finn comes with his own list of complications and they are as real as the zit on your nose. I think I fell for Mady as Finn because I, myself, felt like Finn. He's easy to love, easy to identify with, and easy to point out his flaws because we feel them too! But do not get that crazy glint in your eyes because Mady isn't the pedestal princess everyone chalks her up to being. No diva here- even if she occasionally makes you question my statement.
This book isn't about perfection. It's about loving yourself enough to let others love you too. Own your flaws, own you! It's a beautiful story and it's uplifting. But it's also funny as hell because Mady is ...well, Mady! No other way to describe her. She just is herself.
You may look for the perfect guy but I will always fall for The imPERFECT Guy.

I had trouble getting into this book. I found Mady to be a little hard to connect with at the beginning. However, once I was introduced to Finn and I got to know him a little better, the story turned around for me.
As Finn started to break down Mady's walls, she became more relatable and I started to root for them. I enjoyed reading how Finn slowly won Mady over. Overall, this was a good book.

"Meeting the perfect guy seemed impossible. Little did I know. I was just waiting for the imperfect guy to come along."
The imPerfect Guy is a refreshing read filled with great humor and chemistry. Both Mady and Finn have their own insecurities that jeopardize their future and make them risk missing out on a perfectly imperfect match, but with a few tears and challenges - like every good rom-com - there's always the promise of a happy ending.
Entertaining and all-around fun read that takes place simultaneously with [b:The unEXpected Plan|47831802|The unEXpected Plan|Leddy Harper|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1566145356l/47831802._SY75_.jpg|72962936], but can be read as complete stand-alones featuring the same group of four girlfriends.

This was okay for me. It started off slow, and it was really hard for me to get into. I wasn't a big fan of Mady, and it was hard for me to connect with her. Eventually I was able to like her enough to want her and Finn to work. I liked Finn for the most part, although he was kind of a jerk at the end of the story. He made up for it though, and the ending was very sweet. While I wasn't a huge fan of this one, I would read this author again.

What a nice change of pace.
I really liked this one.
I loved Finn and Mady's story they seemed perfect together, they both had their imperfections but thats what makes them so perfect for eachother!
I really liked Finn, he was so sweet and so likeable and very down to earth.
Mady was nice too, she seemed kind of naive and ditzy but she was still a really good character!
I loved the storyline and the how it seemed to switch and not be what you expect from either of them.
I've loved Leddy Harpers style of writing for a while now so i knew I'd love this book.

I loved Finn and Mady’s story. These two characters were both extremely relatable and felt so real and down to earth. Mady lives a life on social media, but the image people see isn’t the full picture of who she truly is as a person. Finn isn’t the typical hero, he is full of flaws and imperfections, but was sweet from the start. It is so easy to connect and relate to these characters.
The imperfections they both had is what made them truly perfect for each other. I loved their chemistry and how easy going everything was for them. Nothing felt rushed or unnatural. Though, there were a few bumps in the road when it came to their relationship, sometimes second chances are well deserved.
Mady’s friendship with all the girls was fun. I seriously love it. It had me wishing I could be a part of their group and I look forward to spending more time with them in future books!
This story was sweet, enjoyable and had me laughing a few times throughout. These characters were fantastic and I was rooting for them the entire time. The imPERFECT Guy is a great office ish romance that will have you laughing.

This is the first book by the author, and as the year starts to wrap up, I've been thinking about how many amazing authors I have had the pleasure of finding this year and Leddy Harper is one of them. I went into this blind and only reading the blurb. I was intrigued right away after the blurb so I was so happy to find that I loved this book...
This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone, which I am doing and having no problem understanding the story, although I loved this so much I am curious about the other books and will be going and reading them.
This story is about Mady and her intense, funny, steamy and hot relationship with Finn and how it came about. Mady is a social media blogger. She's very successful and well known. She has hired her sister as assistance but things are getting busier and busier for her so she has to hire someone else, that's when she comes across Finn. She thought Finn was a woman, to begin with, but when that becomes evident that he is a he. Finn had a job, it was helping others find jobs so when he comes across Mady's ad, he's intrigued by it himself and applies for it himself. He needs to convince her that he is right for the job. He is a hard worker and he wants to prove that to her. After hiring him, it's a given that they were going to grow closer, having to take care of personal things on her behalf, but what she didn't expect was for sparks to fly.
It was obvious that there was an attraction between these two from the start, and the chemistry between the two is off the charts. The sexual tension between the two builds and builds and only thickens the more time they spend together. They struggle to keep a professional relationship as boss and employee and when lines are crossed and Finn goes and does something behind her back, she has no other choice than to let him go... But will her heart be able to let him go?
This was such a fantastic read. It was fun, sweet, light, yet hot as hell and it was refreshing to read a romance where the woman is the boss, and the guy is the assistance, I love role reversal and the author played these two perfectly for this story. It was entertaining, steamy as hell, enticing and she even threw in a few plot twists that I did not see coming!
