Jana Fleischer loves her life - wonderful family, best sister in the world, awesome soon to be sister-in-law, fabulous job, and a never-ending stream of men to chew through and spit out. So what if everyone says she’s too picky and she’s never had a real relationship?

Story
Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

Don’t let the synopsis scare you away.
When I read the synopsis and it mentioned an asexual person I was leery and wasn’t sure how much I would like the book, but it was very well written, informative, but most of all a great love story. Like a lot of people know love isn’t always about sex, there is so much more. This book does just that. Would highly recommend.

So happy I just cried for two hours.
I'm gonna keep this short, because otherwise I don't know if I'll ever stop writing about how good this book is. This book spoke to my soul, I'm asexual so it was so amazing to read about a character like me. And like Holly, I don't hate sex but I find pleasure by pleasing my partners. I wish some day I find some one that gets me like Leo understood her.
I'm too emotional to go into specifics, so I can't tell you about all my favorite scenes. But I will talk about one thing I loved, because it's so rare, even in other queer books I've read. It's was when threre was still like 2 and half hours left and I was like "omg there going to be some unnecessary drama right?" But no, they TALKED, which sometimes it doesn't happen in other books and it's SOOO frustrating.
So it was a refreshing story in lots of ways. Both the author and the narrator did an AMAZING job bringing these characters to life. Each was unique and perfectly portrayed, they felt real, like people you might know, so their pain and joy also felt real, which made this whole experience extremely rewarding.
I CAN'T recommend this book enough, so buy it, be it printed, Kindle or audiobook format, it doesn't matter, although the audiobook has the added bonus of the narrator. I know I'm gonna be getting it in ALL formats, even if it's the last thing I do. So stop reading my rambling, do yourself a favor and dive into this story, you're not gonna regret it. I know I didn't, and never will.

Good narration helps an implausible story
I'm ambivalent about this story. It's well written. But the the trying too hard to be PC grated on my nerves. Also, it's kinda formulaic with the wildly successful pop star returning to her roots to fall in love and learn to appreciate small town life.
Spoiler Alert:
The 'ace' identity part of the plot seemed like a PC gimmick that was then walked back in the interest of putting some set into the romance. I did end up of caring about the characters even though I found the whole story implausible with the usual convenient magic money that one partner is fabulously wealthy at the tender age of 32. And she's gorgeous like a model, adored by fans, and doesn't mind committing to a relationship ostensibly without sex. Again, the author has technical skill, but the far fetched story line didn't ever let me totally believe in the story or the characters.

Good Aesxual Representation!!!
It is had to find a book with asexual representation that is not "fixing" them. I love the continuous open dialogue between the characters and the omission of unnecessary drama!!
Narrator did a fantastic job of giving each voice a distinction, and added to the characters depth!!!
Great book would highly recommend to asexual, aromantic and alosexual people!!

Does not disappoint
Honestly the reason I got this book was because it handle an asexual character and I am wondering if I am asexual. This book gave me a good view and a lot of things made sense. It may be a romance but Jae stayed true to the charries. There was no sudden “cure” or reversal in feelings and it showed a great view of the complexities of a relationship. But it also made it clear that both parties cared for each other and were deeply in love. Perfect choice on if you don’t want to read a heavily sexed book as it is only one chapter to avoid. Also great on if you are trying to figure out or have an interest in a unique and well formed set of main characters who are not stereotypical of if you align with something beyond the more ‘traditional’ and limited scale of sexuality of LGB to include its fuller dimensions. Well thought out explanations as well for people more new to concepts. A great read.

Yes this
We all expect wonderful words from Jae when we read one of her books and this one definitely didn’t disappoint I could feel the passion flowing from the pages just listening to her words, this story made my heart grow and open in a way I can’t even explain. This book opened my mind and let me experience things that I didn’t know were inside of me, parts of this book made me choke up and I found myself tearing up at times.
This story was so good it pulled me right in from the beginning where we meet Leo and find out that the life of a pop star is not as glamorous as people think. As she struggles to decide if this is the life that she really wants, her father falls ill and Leo finds herself back in her small hometown that she left 14 years ago and never looked back now she is home and trying to come to terms that her relationship with her parents is nonexistent.
Then we meet Holly she is the home health nurse that is taking care of Leo’s father and I liked her character the best she is feisty and puts Leo in her place right from the get go. We find out early on in the book that Holly is asexual and she is fighting an internal battle as she starts to develop feelings for Leo. I learned a few things from this book firstly about asexuals which I hate to admit I knew nothing about but now I have a better understanding about it I think Jae did a standup job educating the reader on asexuality from what I have seen there are not too many authors that have taken on this challenge and i feel that it is important that we support each other no matter who you love or how you love.
I’m glad that I read this book and I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Gave me something to think about
This novel was fairly well written. I enjoyed the characters, and the flow of the story kept me wanting to know what would happen next. The whole idea of people being asexual was a bit weird for me, even though I'd run into it in a web series I'd watched, a while ago. I have trouble not thinking of asexual people as being handicapped or having suffered psychological trauma to put them in that state. I suppose that I find a naturally occurring asexuality to be unlikely, considering it's not something likely to be passed on through genes, for obvious reasons. I will say, though, that this story made me think differently about relationships in general, and I like novels that give me something different to think about. I actually found myself semi-analyzing my own relationships to see how they held up, with different standards of intimacy, and whatnot. I'm grateful to the author for giving me a new way to look at things. Also, the narrator was really good...hoping to hear more from her.

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.

An Amazing Read
I first read this in paperback - not being an audible fan. The story line and characters engrossed me from the start. It educated me, entertained me, made me think more deeply about life, love and sex. Then it left me wanting more. My second ‘reading’ has left me in the same position only now I may just buy more audible books as this was a wonderful narration. I now intend to re read all Jae’s books ASAP!

Brilliant.
What an engaging pair Leo and Holly are. I was completely immersed in their story. I also found the storyline informative in an area I knew little about. Shall look forward to catching up with them, if only briefly, in the second book of the series.

A compelling listen
Brilliantly narrated which makes all the difference to listening to audio books. Good strong storyline and convincing characters. A bit concerned about the number of scones consumed, but what the heck, when you’re in love you need the calories. A delightful book, will be downloading the next in the Fair Oaks series soon.

Beautifully read and beautifully written!
Beautifully read and beautifully written! A nice plot with a slow burn romance that treats the topic of Asexuality with care and respect. A lovely read!

Compelling and heartfelt.
Jae's tender approach to love in Perfect Rhythm is immeasurably enhanced by Dawe's perfect delivery. The story and performance combine into a breathtaking experience that gives raw emotion. I can't personally speak to the authenticity of the asexual point of view, but the delivery makes the listener consider attraction in ways they maybe never have before. Can't rate highly enough.

Good read.
Good book, enjoyed it.
Narration was done well and believable characters.
Second half of the book focuses on explaining the intricate details of someone being Asexual and how someone who is Asexual dates a non Asexual which went on a bit too long for me but didn’t ruin the book.

A love story with a twist.
A beautiful story that is extremely well written about a sexuality that is normally over looked by most of society.

this taught me things I didn't know
there is much I didn't know or understand about.... this was a good story with interesting loveable characters and subject that I was familiar with but now have broadened my mind...
