JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Beverly Barton

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro
Posted April 21, 2015

Romance

Being engaged should be the happiest time in your life. At least that is what Mary Beth thought. Can you imagine being at your engagement party and you find your fiancรฉ practically screwing his former girlfriend in the coat closet.

Parr just happens to see Mary Beth crying in a hallway. All he can see is how beautiful this girl is. Wondering why she is so upset, he approaches her. He invites her to sit with him and have a drink. Little does he know that she is engaged to his brother Bobby Joe.

Bobby Joe and Parr are brothers, but are completely different in ever way. Parr takes after his mother, while Bobby Joe is just like his father. Their dad could not stay true to one woman. Parr is a very successful business man, Bobby Joe not so much.

Parr tries to be a good brother and stay away from Mary Beth. But the attraction is too much for both of them. When a car accident happens it changes everyone's life.

I have read several of Beverly Barton's books. I have never had a problem with the any of her books being boring. From start to finish Beverly Barton books always hold my interest. I really enjoyed the way that Beverly handles the triangle between two brothers and the woman they both love.

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE shows how whether you are a raving beauty or a Plain Jane, it is what is in your heart that really matters. Due to how Barton has her characters interact I found myself enjoying JUST THE WAY YOU ARE and suggest you lose yourself in the story the way I did.

SUMMARY

Mary Beth Caine has always been the good girl in her small Mississippi town. But when a big, protective, shamelessly sexy stranger offers to console her on the night of her disastrous engagement party, Mary Beth lets himโ€”only to discover that Parr Weston also happens to be the older brother of her fiance, Bobby Joe. Parr left Mississippi after years spent holding his family together. Now that he's back, he can't steal Bobby Joe's woman, and he sure can't offer Mary Beth the tidy happily-ever-after she deserves. But everything about the petite beautyโ€”from her flame-gold hair to her artless sensualityโ€”makes him crave her more. Love or lust, right or wrong, all he knows is that nothing has ever felt like this before, and walking away will be the hardest thing he's ever had to do...
