About the Book Book: Just the Way You Are Author: Pepper Basham Genre: Contemporary Romance Single mom, Eisley Barrett, prefers to keep romance safely housed within a centuries-old mystery, but when she travels to England to unearth the secret, an actor with a sordid past offers her reluctant heart a very different type of discovery. Wes Harrison has a past he’s ashamed to confess. Suspicious and cynical, he’s managed to avoid romantic entanglements since a tragedy upended his career and life, that is until American Eisley Barrett comes along. Her authenticity and kindness upend his bitter assumptions and send his heart into unscripted territory. When his past threatens to ruin a second chance at love, can some Appalachian matchmaking and letters from the grace salvage their unexpected romance My Review This was a cute nice story in my opinion. Kind of fairy tale like. This is the first book in Pepper Basham's Pleasant Gap series. It is a romance story in contemporary times. In addition to romance you will also encounter humor and second chances in this story. As a single mom myself it was nice to read this and to dream of a happy ending. This is one that you will be looking forward to the next in the series. I received this book for free.
