Summary

Pop star Leontyne Blake might sing about love, but she stopped believing in it a long time ago. What women want is her image, not the real her. When her father has a stroke, she flees the spotlight and returns to her tiny Missouri hometown.

In her childhood home, she meets small-town nurse Holly Drummond, who isn't impressed by Leo's fame at all. That isn't the only thing that makes Holly different from other women. She's also asexual. For her, dating is a minefield of expectations that she has decided to avoid.

Can the tentative friendship between a burned-out pop star and a woman not interested in sex develop into something more despite their diverse expectations?

Contains mature themes.

Wow! Narration matched the amazing story perfectly

I read this book 7 times before the audiobook was release, so I was worried that I would be disappointed by the narration. However it was honestly a perfect fit in my opinion. This was the first of Angela Dawe’s performances I’ve heard. But definitely not the last. I’ve since purchased a few more books narrated by her. 

I love that this story includes a character who is on the Ace (Asexual) spectrum. It’s the first book I’ve read with an Asexual character, and I loved learning more about this sexual orientation. 

As soon as I started listening to this audiobook I knew that I wouldn’t be able to stop. I absolutely loved everything about this audiobook, the talent of the narrator matched the writers talent really well.

*From my review of the eBook*.
I loved everything about this book... it's well written, has two romantic leads I could relate to and instantly liked, and it has a story that intrigued me and kept me turning the pages. It sucked me in from the beginning and just wouldn't let go. It gave me a lot to think about as well as giving me a romantic story that I enjoyed. 

Not only does this book cover sexual orientation/identity, but it also covers things that a lot of people can relate to...family issues, job issues, insecurities and more.

I honestly would recommend this book to EVERYONE. It's a sweet romance that will open your mind to new things... no matter your sexual orientation and how you identify yourself.

Heartwarming and perfectly narrated

What can I say about this book without writing spoilers?
The subject matter is out of my experience but this book goes a long way to explaining asexuality - and the fact that within that definition there are many different 'norms'.
The leading characters in the story are engaging, the storyline absorbing and the narration is absolutely spot-on. Angela Dawes has a wonderful voice, slips into character with apparent ease and gives all the main players real personalities.
I guess the best recommendation I can give is that I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this audible version of Perfect Rhythm. The story is refreshingly different from a lot of lesbian romance fiction, touching as well on family relationships, social acceptance and understanding there are different paths through life.
I’ve read the book many times, listened to it more than that and rank it right up in my top five favourite audiobooks. It’s been remiss of me to not post a review before now - almost wish I hadn’t yet listened to it, so I’d have that pleasure still to come!

I absolutely LOVE it.

Nice

This book had an interesting story in finding out that one of the characters was asexual and I have not read a book about this before, and I didn’t really know what asexuality was before reading this book, which I have now learnt a lot about. I think it was a nice story and well narrated.

Great Story, Good narration!

Jae's romance covers many subjects death and bereavement, new beginnings, small town girl to big time star, relationships, but the main subject of this romance 'Asexuality' was very delicately handled. The story of the romance was a bit like a roller coaster going from humour to sadness and back again by the chapter. What seemed like an impossible pairing somehow worked and all in all made a lovely story.

As with many of my favourite books, that I've actually read before getting the audio book, I'm always a bit nervous as to how the narrator will bring the book to life, but I had no qualms with Angela Dawe's narration of this book, Angela narrated it beautifully and the characters' voices turned out just as I had expected them to be, which made listening to the story again enjoyable.

To sum it up I found the story well written, it flowed very well and the narration made the audio book really enjoyable.

Beautifully romantic.

Excellent depiction of how everyone has a preference on how to share life and find love. Good background and very educational. Loved it.
