Mason Creek #15

Perfect Mistake

Rate this book
Another addition to the small-town Mason Creek series.
Meet Will Murphy and Miley Reese.


Trouble always seems to find Will Murphy.
Or maybe it’s Will that’s the trouble.

His trademark is disregard for his actions and his constant lack of responsibilities.
He’s never been the kind of guy to look toward his future; he chooses to live one day at a time.
Never mind the consequences.

But one kiss in a dark corner at his older brother’s wedding from a sweet girl like Miley Reese may be precisely what he needs.
It just might be the jolt of electricity that wakes him to the possibilities of a future he’s meant to have.

A love he’s run from for fear of losing yet another person he cherishes. That fear has crippled him. But one woman may rock the walls he’s built, and when he falls, she’ll be there to catch him.

NOTE: This story may have scenes that are cross-over from the entry in the Perfect Christmas Anthology, Wyatt and Sadie's Story. Only they are now in the POV from Will and Miley.

I love this series; the collection of authors continues to publish the best characters and stories in Mason Creek. Will and Miley’s story is another one you want to read. The feels and chemistry alone add in the small-town charm, the second chances for both, and you have a winner.

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

I am so in love with this series 😊Will shame man I don’t know but I just wanted to hug him, lol
It seems like after his dad died and even before that he was just not getting his act together. He was just having a good time and going from one women to the next getting into trouble and his brother has to bail him out. Till he has a make out session with this new sister in law’s assistant and best friend. And for some reason he just cant stop thinking about Miley. And Will knows that Miley is different but she is also extremely shy. So he enjoys making her blush. But he wasn’t good enough for her right… He was just a screw up and she deserved someone who will take care of her and love her the way she deserves…

I think I want to live in this Town. Man its like this town just wants everyone to be happy, lol… I love it. Miley is such a sweet person and Will I think he just needed to meet the right person to show him that he is better than what everyone thinks of him. I loved their chemistry and I loved the romance they were just too cute together. Another awesome story to add to this series. I cant wait for the next one 😊

Opposites attract story, Miley and Will have the special chemistry even though they don’t really make sense together. Will, a little bit misunderstood, the wild, somewhat a troublemaker also the opposite of Miley, quiet and reserved, alone. These two needed each other and they didn’t even realize how much. I loved how much Will felt everything with her. His need to protect and love her, sooo sweet. So much character blooming in this book. Awareness and recognizing their strengths and weaknesses and how they can be better. Loved them together, this was a good addition to the Mason Creek series.

Will’s actions have shown that he may not have handled a tragic loss in his past the best way but there is no denying that he is a loyal friend and close to his family. A stolen kiss at his brother’s wedding has him wondering if he can be the man that Miley needs him to be.

Miley has a difficult past which has made her cautious when it comes to protecting her heart. She has found peace and a sense of belonging in Mason Creek and she might just find the future and love she has always wanted as well.

The romance between Miley and Will was heartwarming as they show that love finds you when you least expect it.

Perfect Mistake is a beautiful heartfelt romance that wraps itself tight around your heart. Two people scared of losing the ones they love and being brave enough to put their hearts on the line. As Will and Miley struggle to stay away these two will realize that the risk is not losing the one you love but never experiencing their love in the first place. A story that is packed full of emotions, passion and happiness. It will steam up the pages as the chemistry and connection between these two ignites. Another amazing addition to the Mason Creek series that has you wanting to come back for more.

I loved Will and Miley! I’m really enjoying this continuing Mason Creek series with the siblings of the couples from the first set of books! In this one we have Will who is Wyatt’s brother and Miley who works with Sadie. Will and Wyatt’s family really take Miley into their fold and make her feel so welcomed and it warmed my heart! Keep these Mason Creek couples coming!

This is a standalone story with the Mason Creek series. It stars Will Murphy and the new girl in town, Miley. It's a little bit of a second chance at love because he kisses her at a wedding, but his brother talks him out of pursuing her because he is a bit of a playboy. But six months later and he still is crushing on her, he finally decides to go after what he wants.

Miley is shy and sweet and is all alone in the world until she finds Mason Creek. She finds friends and friends who welcome her into their family and a great job and for the first time a real home and a new man in Will.

But Will does not have a good guy rep. He is a bit immature, and I understood why she fears trusting her heart to him. Until he starts changing and growing and becoming a man. This is very much a story about a boy who grows and becomes a man, he can be proud of.

Miley is 20 and Will 23 and they are at a crossroads at the start of the book, and we get to go along with both characters as they both really grow up within this story.

It was an awesome story and I loved getting to know these two characters and meeting their family and friends and enjoying the holidays in Mason Creek.

I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A 💯Perfect couple to be added to the Mason Creek series, it was a totally swoon-worthy, tear-jerking. make you fill warm all over story.

I am sure that hundreds of years ago Mason Creek was sprinkled with some sort of swoon dust, and it casts all readers under its magic spell when you read one of its stories because I was once again in trance from start to finish with Will and Miley's story, the young slightly broken girl who has finally found a place to call home in Mason Creek and the people that for the first time ever she can call friends, and Will the man who has the single guy lifestyle of to a tee, but underneath it all is still morning the death of his dad.
"You are what dreams are made of Pretty Girl"

One kiss at his brother's wedding and Will knows he is in trouble, but he tries really hard to stay away from Miley, the kind-hearted girl that he doesn't really think he is good enough for, but the magic of Willow Creek has other ideas and Will just needs to convenience Miley he can become the man she has always ever wanted.

Miley has been the shy girl in Mason Creek who captured my heart from the moment she appeared. She's not had an easy life, and she doesn't have any family left so she stays to herself because of trust issues. Will is one of those men who shoots himself in the foot quite a bit, especially after losing his father. He's also the town playboy to boot. The story starts out by Will & Miley interacting at his brother's wedding, and they share a super hot kiss. Fast forward to present day, and Will has stayed away from her ever since he keeps being reminded he's not good enough for her. Of course in a small town they will inevitably run into each other, and they do, but this time, Will is finally going to do his best to make her his on top of fixing his life. I LOVED this story so much, but it wasn't surprising since it's by the perfect author, C.A. Harms, who always gives the reader amazing stories with a lot of heart! So y'all need to experience all the goodness for yourselves by hitting those one click buttons as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Part of a series of books written by multiple authors this is the 2nd one I've read in the Mason Creek Series by this author. I haven't read any of the other books except hers but I'm checking them out.

This is a sweet story, the H had some growing up to do and he does. The h is a sweetheart very deserving of an HEA. The love scenes were....abreviated? Compared to the author's usual style. Maybe it's because the series has other author's? Anyway, it's not that they are closed door just brief and seemed to end quickly but there is plenty of love and sweetness for the couple. I enjoyed it.

Now that said, I can't believe how many spelling/grammar mistakes. Mostly the wrong word where I had to go back and re-check what I read. This is not the norm for C.A. Harms, it almost felt like this was the pre-edited version and was submitted by mistake. It had me scratching my head because there were so many.

Again, this is an author I like and pretty sure I've read everything. Some I like more than other but for sure a one-click.

I was given this book by the author for an honest review
Miley was a shy and quiet girl stayed to herself and didn’t really have much. She didn’t have family her adoptive parent have both passed and she doesn’t want to believe she has family in the friends she has. Miley has been through a lot with her ex boyfriend she has a hard time trusting people. Will is the playboy of Mason Creek, never wanting to settle down and always finding someway to mess things up in his life. Ever since his dad passed away he lived at home and just cant seem to get his shit in order. But in a dark corner at Will’s brothers wedding these two were found locking lips and its been all Will can think of since then. Is that kiss the one that tamed the playboy and brings out the wild side of the shy girl or will it be the complete opposite. This book was so cute and the more i thought i was going to dislike Will the more i actually started loving him.

I haven’t read a book by CA Harms that I didn’t enjoy, and this story has just been added to that ever expanding list.
I just adore reading small town romances. How everyone knows everyone’s business but at the heart of it all they are there for one another. But I particularly liked in this story how people rallied around Miley. Her backstory made my heart sad, but honestly she is one of the sweetest heroines I have ever read. I was rooting for her to find someone special. Admittedly I didn’t think Will could be that person for her, but boy I was so happy to be proven wrong. Is there a swoon emoji? Because now would be the right time to use it.
I am also pleased to know that the next book will feature Leo and Tate, I truly think there will be some fireworks to come.

I have been looking forward to Will and Miley's book for a while now. I love the town of Mason Creek and all the people in it. I loved that we were able to get a glimpse into the lives of other Mason Creek residents in this book.

From the small bits of Miley and Will's story we got from the previous books I thought there would be more angst.

Although the storyline was good I cannot give this book more than a 3 star rating because there were a lot of spelling and grammar errors which stopped me from getting immersed in the story. There were also inconsistencies. For example in one chapter Miley admits she was adopted at 4 years old after her mother lost custody of her and a few chapters later she's telling someone she was 2 years old when she was adopted. All these issues could have been avoided by having a good proofreader take a look at the book before it was released.

So happy to be back in Mason Creek and to get Will’s story! Will loves his family and loves the ladies. He definitely has a lot of growing up to do and probably has some emotional baggage to unpack. Miley is his sister in-laws best friend and an amazing person. Miley is a sweet girl that for some reason has a pull to Will and he feels that same pull. I couldn’t have loved this book anymore then I did! Miley and Will had an amazing connection and page burning chemistry. I love how supportive this group of friends are they have each other’s back no matter what. Of course we have the small town gossip and the meddling family members. I’m so happy the authors decided to do another round of Mason Creek books! I’m already excited about the next book in the series!

Oh my stars! This story! I have been hoping for Will’s story and Harms did not disappoint as we watch this playboy grow up and find the one that knocks him on his rump! Miley has such heartache from her past. The feeling of not being wanted or never good enough, hits you really hard with the feels. But that connection that Will and Miley have is intense and so beautiful. Seeing Will grow from his brother’s story to his own was amazing. The way he matures and wants that future with Miley was beautiful. There is a lot of wit and banter within these pages. We delve more into Tate which I am personally DYING for, and we ultimately get a beautiful love story that melts your heart. So many looked at Will as such a mistake but Miley believed in him and it was utterly everything! Stunning addition to the Mason Creek world!

4 Stars!

The Mason Creek series is back with its next newest release and CA Harms gives us another all in your feels romance.. taking place in this unforgettable town. Perfect Mistake was all kinds of good and unputdownable in so many moments... ugh these two. Will and Miley, whew. These two will hook you hard and fast along their journey.

I'm a huge, huge Harms fan already and this new release is just another favorite from her.

Mason Creek is back on the map and y'all, I was hella excited to dive into this beauty. I absolutely adore this fictional town.. the people and I hope we continue to get books for a while yet to come. I cannot wait for the next in this series.

I can't recommend this author and series enough.

Another brilliant addition to this series! Playboy Will Murphy is about to fall and fall hard.

we've seen Miley throughout the series but always in the background. She is quiet, shy and feels all alone until she embraced by Sadie and her Mum, bringing her into their family. At Sadies wedding she never thought the grooms brother Will would look twice at her but he does and it sparks both hope and fear in him. How long can Will try and deny/ignore his growing feelings for Miley.

I loved these two together, it was sweet, romantic and steamy.

Another great addition to this series

Excellent story, horrible editing

I'm a major fan of this author's work. I love her stories, and adore her characters.
So, you may be asking why 3 stars. The reason for three stars is that there are just too many errors. There are grammatical and punctuation errors that even an untrained eye would find. There were words that made no sense in sentences. There was a confusion with names (Karlie or Kylie?) I don't know if there was a rush or what, but this made enjoying the story extremely hard.
Now, with all of that said, because this is not usual for this author, I will still read her work because she is a great storyteller.

Good story but

Horrible writing.

This author is in desperate need of a proofreader with even the smallest understanding of written English. This author appears to have no understanding of the difference between "you're" and "your", nor how or when to use commas. Frequently, her sentences are a mess and hard to understand.

Unfortunately, some authors, like this one, may be great storytellers but horrible writers. The best thing they can do is to hire a good proofreader at minimum, and, at most, a good editor. And, until that happens, this will be the last book of this authors that I'll read. The errors are too frequent and far too often pull me out of the story.

Giving this a 3.5. I loved Will and Miley's story but it felt a little short and disconnected at times. And also it really needs editing. Lots of typos and some sentences that didn't make sense made it harder to just get lost in this book. Still absolutely worth the read.

really cute story but needs to be re-edited

5 stars for the Miley and Will’s story, I’ve been waiting for it for a long time, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! :) I also enjoyed getting to know the backstory on more characters as well! but please, please have this re-edited and re-uploaded, it sorely needs it, there are grammatical or other errors on almost every single page and I could figure it what was meant but it made it difficult to fully enjoy. If it is edited I would absolutely give it the full 5.

Bad bad editing!!!

I have so many books by this author and have enjoyed almost all of them, but this book has SO many errors that I finally gave up and couldn't finish it. I got so frustrated reading all the bad grammar and stupid mistakes it just made me shake my head. I'm not an expert at writing by no means and could never write a book, but I like to think that if an author puts out a book they have someone edit it. I really don't like to write reviews that are negative but I couldn't let this one go. It's a good story just bad editing.

Whew! Almost left this one unfinished!

This book needs an editor bad! Great story, but there are so many places where there's just a completely wrong word or a word with an extra letter that makes it the wrong word. Several times the author is writing from the character's POV and then writes something like "...as I danced with his mom." Things like "....my first instant is finding a place..." "...I pause, lowering my peek enough to peek around it."

Someone edit this book please!

I would have enjoyed the book more if it weren't filled with spelling and grammar mistakes.

Captivating

This is the 1st time I've read one of C A Harms books. It had a really good story line and I enjoyed all of the characters and the way she develops them. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because whoever is publishing her books did a horrible job of proof-reading. There was too many errors and sometimes they changed the meaning of what she meant to say. I've read a lot of books and arely are they perfect but this book had more errors than I've ever seen before. By the end of the book it was starting to become distracting.

This was another solid offering from this series! Will and Miley's relationship was an emotional one. Will wasn't the man everyone that he was and his growth made this story. I loved how he learned to put someone else's needs first and became just what Miley needed. And Miley, she really blossomed too. Not just with Will but with the townspeople in creating her "home". Can't wait to find out what makes Tate tick!

Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done

Will, Will, Will. He's a complete flirt, a total ladies' man. Miley is shy and timid, the complete opposite of him. They met and had a kiss then went on their own way. But that changed things for both of them. However, it's not easy for them because Will is kind of jaded and can be a bit immature and a relationship is the last thing he needs. But Miley stands by his side to show him who he really is. It's kind of heartwarming to see how much he grows and become what Miley needed.

At last Will's story. I have been waiting for this ever since Perfect Risk when we first met Will. I am thrilled that he has finally grown up and left his playboy days behind him to discover that Miley, who works with his sister in law, is the girl for him. Some bumps along the way but this is a fun, hot and endearing story that sees Miley leaving her troubled past behind her and giving Will a chance. Read an ARC for an honest review.

"You ready to get lost with me"

I'm ready to get lost in Mason Creek, the place where dreams come true and true love does exist.

I love it when authors come together and join forces to create these wonderful small towns with fabulous characters and truly wonderful stories.

It certainly wasn't hard to get lost with Will and Miley and falling in love with this place. Still so much more to come and I setiously cannot wait

Love C.A. Harms books they just suck you and you never want to leave them. Will is a playboy that has been put out there for all to know. The town knows he won't settle down, yet when he meets Miley something changes with just a kiss. Now he's going to prove to himself and everyone else that he's more than what people think he is. Miley is totally adorable and has a crush on the playboy, but sometimes a crush is just a crush. Can these two become more when so many feelings are against them?
