review 1: This is a short story, novella or whatever you want to call it. But it is moving. The sexual tension is provocative and alluring. You feel hos much Harrison loves Stacey. You fell the shame and hurt that Stacey faced throughout her life. Then the story is wrapped up in a nice little bow to create a happily ever after.I started reading Lexi Ryan after she was promoted by another author and I really enjoy her work. I look forward to reading other books, shorts, or whatever because I know it will be great.I read this as an ebook -- and even better it was free.
review 2: Just the Way You Are by Lexi Ryan is another well-written story about love and second chances. This is the second installment in the Decadence Series and is followed by Just One Night (Decadence Cr
... moreeek). Although, this is the second of the series, I believe this can be a stand alone read and still make sense. However, Stacey and Harrison were featured in Just One Night as well, so I would recommend reading that one first just to get a better grip of this series.This second addition to the series did not disappoint. We were briefly introduced to Stacey and Harrison in book one, which was their wedding that everyone was attending. This is their story and goes into depth about why they both agreed to a temporary marriage. Stacey and Harrison also have a past together as well. After many years apart, they're reunited again in marriage to save Stacey's mom's beloved house. Despite many years of separation, sparks still fly between these two and keeping their hands off each other proves a lot harder than they think.I highly enjoyed Just One Night (Decadence Creek) and this one was no different. Packed into this novella were surprisingly high amounts of emotions- heartache, sorrow, pain of loss. Stacey and Harrison were a great couple and I loved Harrison for his sweet & caring ways towards Stacey. Stacey never had it easy growing up & it was great to see someone love her for all that she is.I loved how the author also had flashback scenes recapturing Stacey and Harrison's past. It makes you understand the dynamic of their relationship so much more and the glimpses that we get from their past added more to the story, making this read that much more enjoyable for me.In the end, Just The Way You Are was a wonderful read. Despite its shortness, this story did not lack in character or plot development. It was well-written & packed in a lot in just 63 pages. Novellas usually leave me without much satisfaction because they're harder to deliver, but Ms. Ryan executed this one beautifully. I highly enjoyed reading every minute of this story & would recommend it! less
