JustRead Tours Blog Tour: Perfect by Kimberly Keagan

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Perfect by Kimberly Keagan, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Perfect
Series: Hearts on Display #1
Author: Kimberly Keagan
Publisher: Ventana Publishing, LLC
Release Date: May 6, 2025
Genre: Historical Romance

In the glittering era of the Gilded Age, the heirs of Philadelphia’s Denwall Department Stores navigate family expectations, relentless ambition, and unexpected love. 

William Walraven’s picture perfect life is turned upside down when his fiancée jilts him for an English aristocrat and his father refuses to name him as his successor. To prove he’s worthy of leading Denwall Department Stores, Will must open their first New York store under budget and before the Christmas shopping season. 

Overwhelmed by disappointment and a nearly impossible deadline, Will has no time for distractions—especially not the captivating bookseller he saves from being crushed by a beer wagon. 

Ivy King and her aging grandmother are barely keeping their struggling bookshop afloat. Though drawn to the charming, enigmatic man who saved her life, Ivy has no illusions about her place in the world. It certainly isn’t beside a department store heir whose dazzling emporium threatens to close her family’s business. 

Brought together in the wake of an attack on Will’s brother, Will and Ivy find themselves at a crossroads—torn between the expectations that define them and a future neither expected.  

Perfect is a clean, wholesome historical romance featuring opposites-attract tension, class differences, a touch of mystery and humor, and an inspirational journey of faith and love.  

Historical Romance is a genre that I appreciate and LOVE to read. Perfect by Kimberly Keagan is Book 1 in the Hearts on Display series. It is also the Debut Novel for the author. I always LOVE reading Debut Novels. 

I can honestly say the storyline caught my attention from the first pages. The setting is  in New York City in 1895, the historical times of the Gilead Age. The main characters in this book are William Walraven and Ivy King. Will has a lot gong on in his life. A broken engagement to a woman whom he loved, yet she wanted someone else in life. He also has to open a Department store just before the Christmas Season and on a specific budget. Will is really focused on accomplishing this so he can prove his worthiness to his father. Ivy King helps her grandmother run a local bookstore. The bookstore has its struggles. Ivy and Will meet when Will saves Ivy from what could have been a major accident, getting crushed by a Beer Wagon. I believe Will and Ivy are meant for each other, but it certainly takes some struggles of the heart for both of them to realize how fitting they are for one another. Will also comes to realize that his father was not very encouraging to Will and only wanted to make it BIG in the world, all the while not giving enough time to the important ones in life. Ivy LOVES helping her Grandmother at the Bookstore, even though the Bookstore is barely making it. Will and Ivy's story is one of Opposites Attract, giving our best to the important ones in life, and not just jobs and material things. I feel the author has an AMAZING writing style and I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. GREAT BOOK!
