The marriage of Sierra Grayson to billionaire Blade
Navarone ended the Grayson saga but fans of Francis Ray
and the Graysons series clamored for more.
Ms. Ray has not disappointed her fans. THE WAY YOU LOVE
ME begins a new series about the friends of the Graysons.
First up is Shane Elliott, chief of security for Navarone
Enterprises. Shane is an intelligent, exceedingly
competent hunk of a man whose presence never goes
unnoticed. When he runs into Paige Albright—literally—on
the grounds of the home of Trent Masters and his wife,
Dominique Falcon-Masters, Sierra's cousin, he can't get
her out of her head.
Paige, nearly engaged to the son of one of her deceased
father's business associates, is trying to get to the
bottom of her mother's secrets, secrets that have taken
her mother mysteriously away following her father's death
and seem to have something to do with Trent.
When Mrs. Albright engages Shane to protect her daughter
and help her to stop Paige from falling into the arms of a
man unworthy of her, Shane is leery but decides this is
his chance to make up for the less than honorable
impression he left with her when they first met. Except
he can't tell Paige who he is or why he's there, or even
that they've previously met.
Will Shane help Mrs. Albright to show Paige she's with the
wrong guy? Will Paige forgive either of them when she
finds out what they're up to? The sparks between Paige
and Shane sizzle off the page. As always, Ms. Ray has
crafted a page turner that will have readers speed-reading
to get to the story climax, or at least to the next
tension-filled scene between these two characters.
I have yet to read a Francis Ray novel that I didn't
thoroughly enjoy. I don't suspect I ever will.
Nothing gets to Shane Elliott. A former Army
Ranger, now head of security for a wealthy real estate
tycoon, Shane can handle whatever life throws at him—until
he meets the beautiful, kindhearted Paige Albright. She’s
about to inherit a fortune, and Paige’s mother has asked
Shane to investigate her boyfriend. It should have been a
simple, standard assignment for Shane…if only Paige’s
seductive mix of strength and vulnerability didn’t leave him
wanting her for himself.
All her life, Paige
has put others’ needs before her own, even going so far as
choosing a man to please her father. Now her mother’s
mysterious houseguest is tempting her to go after what she
truly wants…even if it’s the cool, assertive, irresistible
Shane himself. But is he who he appears to be? And how can
Paige know whether to trust her own judgment—and their
red-hot attraction?
