The Way You Love Me: A Grayson Friends Novel

by Francis Ray

A reissue of The Way You Love Me , the first book in the popular erotic romance Grayson Friends series by New York Times bestselling author Francis Ray.

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?

Reviews

[Demi Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a good read. It was a slow building plot with not much for conflict and drama. It was a simple romance novel which is not altogether a bad thing.
The way things seemed to build, led me to believe the revelation of it all would be a bit more dramatic with rippling effects. It was in fact the opposite.
I enjoyed it.

I loved it. I've read just about all of her series, and this one didn't fail. I love reading about true love. The one you can't possibly live without. Now I need to find Rios story.
