Book Summary
Great for fans of Susan Mallery, Bella Andre, and Marie Force. Just the Way You Are is a small town, feel-good romance, the first in a four-book series.
After a painful breakup and the loss of her job, Cinnamon Smith is battered and bruised. The only place to go is her best friend Fran’s bed-and-breakfast in the small coastal town of Dunlin Shores, Oregon. The first person she meets on her arrival is Nick Mahoney, Fran’s handyman. Cinnamon’s attraction to Nick is immediate, and the feeling is definitely mutual.
But Cinnamon has spent years working toward a certain kind of life, a life she can’t have with Nick. Spending time in Dunlin Shores and with him is beginning to change all that. Then she gets a job offer that will put her career goals back on track… Which means choosing between the life she’s always wanted and the love that’s right in front of her.

Just The Way You Are
By Ann Roth
Review Written by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank Ann Roth for providing me with this
review so I may bring you this review.
Ann Roth’s Just the Way You Are the first book in the Dunin
Shores series was such a refreshing read. Why you may ask?! Last year alone I read
226 books and in them I had never seen any of the storylines she came up with. That
is a huge compliment in her favor.
Instantly I fell in love with the main character’s name
Cinnamon. It is such a unique and pretty name. I love it when authors come up
with creative names for their characters.
Ann did an amazing job allowing yourself to fall in love with
the scenery and the bed and breakfast where the story took place. It would be a
place that I would gladly visit.
Ann put a really great lesson in this book. If you are
focused and determined your dreams and wishes can come true. The same goes for
Abby on how focused she was in studying for her math competition that she so desperately
wanted to win!! I commend her on how much she studied as Math is not an easy
subject.
There is a part in the book where I had to laugh. Reason
being is it is something I would say. “You
two have fun tonight. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, but if you do, think of
me.” The last bit of that had me laughing like crazy as I had never thought to
say that. I might just have to use that line.
