Just the Way You Are Audiobook

" This book was really good, it kept me wanting to turn the page. "

" read it but not really my kind of book. "

" This was an easy read, not much action but a love story where two people met in unusual circumstances and fell in love despite the spiteful words and lies. Hope was not the spunky heroine I always liked but she had attitude, a warm heart that endears everybody. Zack was the stiff and heartless corporate bastard whose life was changed by a woman on the other line. It's amazing how some of the ice around him slowly melted because of Hope and there's a little humor here so I enjoyed reading it. Since this is fiction, fast-paced attraction wasn't really realistic in the long run. The story had drama, a little comedy, suspense, and action, there were a lot of touching moments here, the love scenes were passionate but didn't really sizzle, and the writer really introduced the characters well enough, some of them were just one of us normal people and when a good deed was done, it would certainly come back to the doer tenfold. It's a good read I finished it in one sitting. "

" There was a lot I did not like about this book. The hero was arrogant and insufferable. The language was incredibly stilted. A lot of the plot was just unbelievable, especially one part at the end. But, there was some funny in there. pp. 318-319: Hope says, "I got the clothes for sleeping with someone." Bunny responds "Honey, you can do better than that. The clothes aren't that nice." I remember enjoying the other two books in this series, but had I read them in order, I would not have gone further than this one. "

" The whole first part of this books was good. But there were a couple of big moments in the end that just didn't live up to the rest of the book. I will be reading the next book in the series. "

" OK, I read the first book last because I had trouble finding it and didn't want to wait, but this is definitely my favorite of the three in this series. Somehow I thought it would be - from the references to these characters in the later books. Of the three sisters, Hope is definitely my favorite. I love people who care and who help. I liked Zack less in this book than in the following books, however. He was just so wrong! And it took forever for him to be right! But I guess that's what makes it such a good book. I was certainly involved to the point of wanting to sock him at various points in the book - not to hurt him, but to get him to wake up and smell the coffee. The one thing I didn't like was the scene with King Janek, which was too ridiculous to even be funny. It could have been dropped with no loss to the story line and a great improvement in the book, which is why it lost a star. "

" Finally collected all the books in the series so I'm reading them all. I love just love Hope! She gives Zach a run for his money and in the end wraps him around her finger. So fun! "

" I got involved in this story quickly and enjoyed it. I didn't like Zach for much of the book and the identity of "Ma" surprised me. Looks like book 2 is Pepper's story and I look forward to reading it. "

" This is exactly what gives romance novels a bad name. "

" Hot and juicy as romance novels go, but I've out grown that stage in my life - too predictable. "

" First book I have read from Christina Dodd - I enjoyed. "

" I just love cowboys ;-} Again I read soo many books I don't remember when I read it. Still have it and plan to read it a second time though... "

" I enjoyed this book so much. I enjoy the romance between Zac and Hope. Made me laugh at Ma and her "gang". Cry when she brought him soup and what she said to him in the limo. I can't wait to read the next book. "

" A fun read. Good closure at the end, yet still left a cliff hanger ending. "

" This is the third time I've read the book. Loved it. A classic Cinderella tale. "

" Eh..... Waste of my time didn't get good till the last 100 pages and that was just because the sex scene was good. "

" This one was okay , but deff not a favorite of mine . "

" I've only just started reading this novel and is already hooked. It's an easy read, but as you turning the page with so much enthusiasm. It's so sad, seven long years without knowing where her siblings are. I can't wait to finish it!! "

" Kept me reading until the very end without making me want to put the book down. That's a very good thing. "

" Good read! The personalities of the characters were very versatile but complimented one another very well! "

" Excellent! I highly recommend this book. "

" It was so cheesey I don't feel right even giving it 1 star. "

" Hot and juicy as romance novels go, but I've out grown that stage in my life - too predictable. "

" Wenn man dieses Buch als Märchen liest, dann macht es richtig Spaß. So konnte ich auch ignorieren, dass mir der Schreibstil der Autorin nicht immer liegt. Mal sehen, ob ich die weiteren Bücher der Reihe lesen werde. "

" This is probably one of my favorite books of all time. I have read it over and over again. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance. "
