Really short review, today. I picked up "Just the Way You Are" free on Amazon (as of right now, it still is) and was sucked into the emotional drama of the story. Amazing. A wonderful story of family, love and hanging on through the confusion of life.

This is another of Barbara Freethy's stories that has you rooting for the couple to work out their problems. Rooting for a family to see that they still love each other and need each other. A baby brought them together — and even though Alli has always loved her strong, sexy husband Sam and the l...
