Take a girl like
Columbia, put her in a vastly different life with a man unlike anyone she's
ever known. Throw in Dimitri's nightmares, the Concierge's disdain for
Dimitri's new house guest and a few hundred people looking high and low for the
both of them...and it makes for a very interesting read.
Picking up at the end of the last chapter, this novel covers the time until the two leave Hong Kong, before the epilogue of the first bestselling novel in this series, The Beast.
Two twisted and imperfect beings must adjust to their new lives together while avoiding detection from authorities and an international crime ring.
As with the first novel in this series, this story covers dark themes with graphic sex, murder and violence.
PERFECTLY NORMAL takes place in the time between the last chapter and the epilogue of THE BEAST ☺ Sounds a bit complicated - but it's not.
We never knew what happened to Dimitri & Columbia in that time - the time they spent in Hong Kong and the time they kept searching for Sergei. We only know that they killed him in that epilogue in Paris.
But how they got from Vancouver - via - Hong Kong and Malta to Paris - we might find out now! Not all of it - but at least the Hong Kong bit of it! ☺
The book starts with Dimitri, Columbia & the concierge living in Hong Kong.
(and yesssss - we will find out the congiere's real name!!! It's ............
HA! I'm not telling you!!! ☺☺☺)
They're still hiding from Dimi's ex boss - russian mafia lord Sergei.
And of course they're also hiding because Columbia is on the run from the Canadian police, because she killed her molesting bastard of a step-father.
And while they're in hiding - they're trying to teach Columbia how to fight - how to kill - how to survive.
And because every training session between Dimitri and Columbia ended up in a sweaty sex session - the concierge takes over her training.
And Dimitri might finally be ready to go out into the world - he has been hiding in penthouses for years - ever since his body was badly burned.
But Columbia finally convinced him to have his scars looked at by a plastic surgeon.
"I wasn't living before I met you; I was merely existing."
But then, after someone recognizes Columbia on the streets, Dimi decides they have to leave Asia...
.....you just have to read the book to find out ...
and please do!!!!! Because....

I was sooo happy when Jaden said that this would be a full-length book and not a little novella!
I missed Dimi!!!! ☺
Perfectly Normal was really great!
Kind of totally different than the first book.
Don't know why, but it felt different to me.
It was more of a sweet romance! ☺
Ha! Yeah - I know - there's nothing really sweet about our russian killer and his killer-intern-girlfriend....but it really was an adorable book.
Not only are Dimi & Columbia adorably cute and sexy we also get to know the concierge a bit better - we finally start to really like him!
The book was soo effffing sexy! Whoa!! I can't tell you what was so sexy about it - it would spoil too much - but I LOVED that part!!!!!!!
Of course it's not all sweet and peaceful - we have our suspensy moments too.
Dimi & Columbia are so perfect for each other - both so horrible scarred and abused.
"Together we are whole, we are broken when apart."
They need each other to heal.
I REALLY LOVED THE BOOK ♥
Just like THE BEAST - PERFECTLY NORMAL was a wonderfully dark and erotic Love Story about 2 lost souls who are finally able to start to live again - even if it's in a, for us unimaginable, way. For them it's perfect.
It might not be for everybody - it's violent and really dark and twisted - but those things really need to be in the book!!!! Just try it - but don't leave a horrible review because something in it is against your 'religion' ☺☺☺
we might even already hear a little eastern-european bit about the next book in the epilogue ☺

Jaden Wilkes is the pen name for a girl living on the prettiest farm in BC. After a lifetime of love, lust and adventure, she is happily settled down with her second chance, the love of her life.
New to the world of fiction, but not writing, Jaden has won prizes for poetry, published research articles and essays, and maybe even a thesis or two.
A life of travel, adventure and keen observations of human nature allow for the creation of rich worlds and...
Fuck it, I need to keep it real. I have done a bunch of stuff, met a lot of people and lead an interesting life. That's it! I am passionate about my art, my work, my family and my friends, not necessarily in that order. I love writing fiction, I've spent years hearing things like "you should write a book" or "ZOMG you're so funny, write that shit down". And now I am. I hope you enjoy my words as much as I enjoy laying them down.
I've been an archaeologist (ethnographic research as well as human skeletal remains specialist), a GIS geek, a teacher, a city planning nerd and a photographer. New to that list, author. I am damn proud of this designation and hope that it will keep spurring me on to greater and better things. Every work I produce will be better than the last, so if you liked this first one, you will love the rest!
Thank you for joining me on this crazy journey. Along the way I hope I am able to offer you some laughs, some succor for the soul and some tingles in your soft places. ;)
