"The Perfect Blend" by C. Kelly Robinson is a contemporary novel about the departure from the traditional nuclear family to the blended families that are quickly becoming the norm in todays society. C. Kelly Robinson has created a perfect spin on young buppies who are forced to deal with "baby mama" drama due to previous indiscretions. Divided into three main characters and one supporting character; Mitchell an accountant and "wannabe" novelist, his wife Nikki a record company executive and Mitchells good friend and boss, O. J., a radio personality whose "playa" status is starting to getting old, and Keesa who is waiting patiently for O. J. to settle down and discover that she is the woman for him.
Mitchell and Nikki are happily married newlyweds dealing with partial custody/visitation with Gina, the mother of Mitchells son. Gina is a one-night stand nightmare whose sole mission is to disrupt Mitchell and Nikki in order to fulfill her ulterior motive becoming a force to be recognized.
O. J. and Keesa also have a child together. A child that O. J. was unaware of until Keesa was well into her pregnancy. O. J. has taken responsibility by paying child support and becoming a long-distance parent of sorts, but Keesa on the other had is not satisfied with the distance and decides to relocate to Chicago from Atlanta so that O. J. can be a part of the childs life. Hoping for a little more then just a "baby daddy" relationship, Keesa finds out that O. J. is not ready to become the family that she desires. An option that should not be taken for granted.
In his sequel to "No More Mr. Nice Guy", "The Perfect Blend" positively depicts the dilemmas blended families face and what it takes to make it work while giving us a humorous cast of characters who are unpredictable from start to finish. Can these couples find the perfect blend of love, family and friendship while forced to deal with unexpected tragedies, hurt, and the loss of trust?
