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.

Ben Taylor, widower and father of four lively children, enjoys his easy, uncomplicated life. He likes his work and has a competent nanny to manage his household. Everything is good until he decides to seek out his biological parents and discovers a family tree with tangled roots and broken branches. His comfortable life crumbles when he gets caught up in a criminal network of fraud and conspiracy at his new job. When Ben is forced into a dangerous alliance, he scrambles to find a safe situation and protection for his children before setting out to clear his name—all without getting himself killed in the process. A nanny with a past… Becoming a nanny was the perfect solution when Teresa Cooper needed a place to hide ten years ago, but now that she’s no longer in danger, she’s ready to move on and make a new life for herself. When Ben asks her to take the children to an unknown relative in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, she finds herself in hiding again, this time with four children in tow. As the children explore the wilderness of the Upper Peninsula, Teresa begins to wonder about God’s plan for her future. Who is this stranger Ben trusts with his children? Why here? Can a city-bred nanny find joy in this wild corner of God’s creation? About the Author Swanson lives in Wisconsin with her husband of 32 years. They enjoy spending time with their family and being outdoors, kayaking, hiking, birdwatching and fishing, but summer is short in Wisconsin, so it’s important to have indoor hobbies, too. Cathe has been a quilter and teacher of quiltmaking for over 25 years, and she enjoys just about any kind of creative work, especially those involving fiber or paper. She enjoys writing stories with eccentric characters of all ages. Her books will make you laugh and make you cry – and then make you laugh again. My Review If you are looking for a long mysterious read then this would be it. The story was good , but I found it to kinda drag out quite a bit . Ben is an immature young man that is also a widow and so is now a single father of FOUR children . This story really shows how most individuals carry baggage in their lives in different ways. There was a little romance in the story but not alot and at first I was suspecting it to develop between two characters but it took an unexpected twist and did not develop like I thought. I was given a complimentary copy of this book but the thoughts are my honest opinion of it. Blog Stops March 28: Books. Books. And More Books.
