Synopsis:
Being the daughter of a big-city mayor, twenty-one year old Skye Summers has giant shoes to fill in her first real job out of college. With the public spotlight on her family, and her dad’s expectations running high, she jumps at the chance to work side-by-side on an important project with her sexy new boss.
Playboy entrepreneur Landon Steele has built a successful entertainment PR firm and broken more than a few hearts along the way. He’s counting on his enthusiastic new assistant to help him expand his business into LA… until he discovers she’s a pampered rich girl who’s in the public spotlight as much as his famous clients. Still, he agrees to give her a chance, and soon the two are heating up the bedroom as well as the boardroom.
But when Skye’s ex-boyfriend threatens to reveal a dangerous secret from her past, her job, relationship with Landon, and her father’s career are suddenly all on the line. Will she be forced to leave Landon? Or will she pursue her heart, regardless of the cost?

Picture Perfect was a 4.5 star read for me but can be rounded to a 5 stars. I have read the other book in this series and Loved it very much. The stories may be in a series but can be read as stand alone. I started Picture Perfect with high expectations of it possibly exceeding Rumor Has It but for me It didn't quite reach the bar I had set. Yeah I know shame on me for setting a bar but I will say this it may not have reached my expectations but it was still a fantastic read that is a great addition to the Limelight Series.
Picture Perfect is told in the POV of both main characters; Landon and Skye. I instantly I felt connected to the characters especially Skye. She was funny;
"Mind, meet gutter. Nice to meet you, gutter. I have a feeling we'll see each other often."
- Skye Picture Perfect
young, and ambitious who has troubled past with an ex who wont stay away and a new trouble when one night of fun which causes tension to boil for her at work. She wouldn't normally do what she did but figured one night of fun wouldn't hurt. Ha was she wrong. Now lets talk about Landon Steel "Mr.Steel." owner of the PR firm where Skye works...
" My my, They don't call you 'the man of steel' for nothing, do they?"
-Skye Picture Perfect
I think that quote pretty much sums up how sexy Landon is. Not just sexy but he is intelligent, wise and charming.
"...You're like those one-of-a-kind vintage pieces you're always searching for. Rare, precious..."
- Landon Picture Perfect
The chemistry between the two is wonderful. I enjoyed their connection and couldn't wait to see how they played out. I think my main problem with this read was the problem with Skye's ex, Vic. I just saw the problem with Vic playing out a little bit different then what had happen. Even though that was a problem for me it didn't effect my overall liking of the book. In the end I was happy how things played out and can't wait to read more in the Limelight series. Elisabeth is a fun, easy writing author who's books are extremely enjoyable and worth the read.
All in all I very much enjoyed Picture Perfect and would happily recommend it to those who love New Adult romances.
I say it's a MUST READ for sure!
My Favorite quote:
I have a soft spot for romance novels with happily ever afters and a hot spot for alpha males! I currently live outside Toronto, Canada with my hubby and two small children. Life is busy, but never to busy for a good story and to share my love of reading and writing with others.
My debut New Adult Contemporary Romance, Rumor Has It, releases December 6, 2013.
