My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Eisley Barrett is a single mom who came to England to help solve a family mystery, not to get involved with a movie star who's taciturn, cynical and way out of her league. Wes Harrison's had enough scandal and betrayal to last a lifetime, so there's no way he's going to believe Eisley's actually as sweet and genuine as she seems to be. But circumstances - and matchmaking family members - keep forcing them to spend time together. Can they overcome their pasts and the differences in their circumstances in order to have a future together?
This was such a great story with wonderful characters. Eisley was imminently likable, she's the kind of person you'd want to have as a friend and hang out on weekends with. Wes was a little more of a challenge for me, but once I understood his motivation, I hurt for him and the mistakes he'd made. The spiritual thread fits naturally into the story in a way that felt organic. Pepper Basham hit this one out of the park.
Just the Way You Are is a funny, tender story that manages to hit the sweet spot between warmth and witty with a healthy dose of grace. I can't wait for the next in the series.
