The Heart of Texas is one of my favourite stories. It combined an exciting erotic romance with a complex plot. Protagonist, Riley, is likeable despite his Machiavellian manipulation of other characters within the story to being with. Jack on the other hand is the typical cowboy who comes from a w...
This is one of those books that will grab you right from the beginning. Zach has been thrown away by his family at Christmastime and a very pivotal point in his life. He’s about to turn eighteen. This allows his family to legally turn him away. It’s the fact that he came out to his family as gay ...
This is a sweet story about a boy tossed out and down on his luck and his journey to self-discovery and his determination to change the course he is on. Zach meets Ben, Ben begins to feel that tingle within but withholds until Zach is ready for unconditional love. This is their journey to happine...
It's taken me a while to get round to reading book 2 in this series, after enjoying The Heart of Texas last year.I enjoyed catching up with Riley and Jack again, and seeing them adjust to adding Hayley to their family.A fairly quick read, well paced writing that kept me engaged in the story. I di...
This was a fairly short read, but the characters were cute. Morgan made for an adorable nerd/artist/swimmer, and he was stubborn to a fault in what he wanted. Nik was almost as stubborn but predictably (as in all romances) succumbed to what Morgan demanded of him. I actually enjoyed the lack of e...
A real feel-good read - can see me coming back to this one on a wintery night, when you need something to read where there is low/no angst, is sweet but not sickly sweet and leaves a happy glow!Cameron needs help - with his life, daughter and dog. Jason needs help - with a job and somewhere to li...
I have enjoyed this series so far, although this book not quite as much as the first two - 3.5 stars rounded up. I did like the two new characters, Robbie and Eli, who were introduced in this story - especially Eli. However, there were a lot of different things going on, some of which seemed to...
While I did enjoy the characters painted by the author, and liked the idea of big-city firefighter leaving for small town work due to his sexuality, I found the story... lacking somehow.Whether it was the poor sentence structure, or the spelling and grammar issues, I'm not sure. But its not a 5-s...
Daniel wird von der Familie Walker nach dem Tod seiner Mutter adoptiert. Schnell baut er eine Bindung zu seiner neuen Familie auf und vor allem zu seinem Stiefbruder Jamie. Er beginnt Gefühle für ihn zu entwickeln, die weit über die Beziehung von Bruder zu Bruder hinaus gehen. Fühlt Jamie viellei...
2nd Read: 10/10/123rd Read 11/2/13Now THIS is what I'm talking about! This book was better than the first. Everything I didn't like about in the first book was done perfectly in this one: The hate/like/love relationship between Joseph and Dale was slow-building, the plot was engaging and filled w...
4.5 stars. Just what I needed today -- this series is the equivalent of comfort food. "Texas Family" is my favorite book in the the series so far. It contains lots of sweet moments and some surprisingly hot scenes, surprising because I usually associate R.J. Scott with more sweet than smut. Even ...
Luke Fitzgerald comes home to Ellery Mountain to settle his father's estate. He left when he was 18 and swore he would never come back. His father was part owners of the cabins owned by Daniel Skylar's mom, Brenda. He has bad memories of the town and the people. When Daniel meets him, he imme...
What a great shifter story, not all lovey dovey at all...which I liked a lot. The idea of wolves being broken and turned into commom household pets is cruel and heartless. But seriously, humans always try to eliminate what they fear.Doug is a hard assed, alpha who struggled with what he considere...
This was a great first book in a series. I like a book that has that first strong attraction and then builds off the chemistry between the two MC's. They want each other but are both hesitant for different reasons. This book does a good job of establishing the world and introduces us to secondary...
I've read that this was the last book in the series which is a little sad as I would love to read more about this wonderful family. Texas Christmas was a good book, so easy to read with a beautifully written storyline. I feel as though I got to know all the characters very well and if this has to...
The first half of this story is much better than the last. Unfortunately, it all went downhill for me from the first kiss. I felt the slow build to that moment was wonderful. I really liked the characters although they weren't as developed or deep as I'd have liked. I wish I had connected to them...
'The Carpenter and the Actor' by RJ Scott is the third installment in the Ellery Mountain Series. This is Kieran's story, the handsome, young carpenter and friend to Finn and Max, and Daniel and Luke. Kieran is the only single guy and, although he's happy that his friends are in love, he is feeli...
A nice easy read which I liked a lot - a nicely paced read, not too angsty.Cody is still dealing with the aftermath of severe physical and mental abuse, 6 years after the event. He comes to renovate a family property in a quintessential English village - complete with ghosts and a sexy neighbour!...
I really liked it when I first read the blog stories and I still really like it after the re-write and expansion. For those who have read the blog(free)version. There's not much of a difference in the story itself but there's an extra chapter featuring Chris and Daniel after they move in with eac...
This was a really sweet story. It was short but I did not mind because everything was covered. Although I would love to see this couple again. I think they deserve to be brought to life again. R.J. Scott is a personal favourite author of mine, I love her work and have read quite a few things from...
This one was just "meh" for me. The premise...a cop and a SEAL. Bring it! It wasn't brought. Viktor walked all over Aiden and he took it. No once, but twice! No freaking way did Viktor ever redeem himself IMO. Aiden deserved so much better and way more groveling. This was more action than romance...
Once again we head to Ellery Mountain and the ever-growing population of gay men who end up inside this small town. This time we are introduced to the man who will become the sole preoccupation of Dr. Liam Wolfe. Mitchell Askett is no stranger to Ellery, having frown up there and coming from on...
I read Sanctuary 1 through 6 all as one long novel, I think that's about my only complaint with these books, they need to be longer! But reading them as one, gives a better picture of the story arc and how Sanctuary - a private body guard agency set up to look after the cases the FBI or others c...
Am I the only that finds it strange that Cameron wants to come out of the closet and announce he's dating Luke so soon? They just interacted for the first time at that burger joint the day before where they admitted their secrets and feelings for each other. They weren't friends in the past. They...
This story revolves around Travis the first to enter Daniel's center for returning vets, and Avery, the new owner of The Alibi bar. Travis suffers from terrible nightmares and the mental paralysis that comes with PTSD. Avery is starting a new life in Ellery, when Travis drops into his life. His g...
This book was the first one to semi-disappoint even though I enjoyed learning about Jamie and the action packed plot revolving around Ian. While I enjoyed seeing that not everything was perfect in Ellery, with the homophobia/gaybashing, I also felt it was tacked on. More needed to be done with th...
A good read with good storyline. I would have liked more world development and character building but the way the book started out did work for the story and reader's do get the jest of what is happening and why it is happening. For those of you who like shounen-ai (look up the meaning if you don...
You certainly learn why Jesse has been totally turned off of the whole package that is Christmas right away. Let's be honest, as much as Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year, even I would have been happier if I never heard the word "Christmas" again if I had been in Jesse's shoes. Tal...
Wow, did this ever catch me by surprise, all in a good way. I got this because 1. It's R.J.Scott, and 2. the series is subtitled Supernatural Bounty Hunters. How could I resist? Obviously, I didn't put up any resistance. This is the story of Micah, a vampire wanted for the murder of a human. He...
Cop Connor Vincent thought Black Creek, Vermont was too quiet after working the non-stop crimes scenes in New York. Now Veterinarian Josh Nolan and his lover Connor have more to contend with than a crime scene; Connor was bitten by a rogue wolf.The New Wolf is the first book in a three author Bui...
This book isn't just insanely hot,it also comes with two story twists that I didn't expect. The lead-in is deceptive, yet, with hindsight, a hint that something maybe not entirely "normal" was going on. I was too distracted to notice at the time, but it does fit.Josh is a great guy, who has tried...
Such an amazing story! As a huge fan for Rj Scott's I knew I'd enjoy this as I did with the first in this series. We get to revisit a little bit with Viktor and Aiden, along with Spider. Loved everything about this story..the whole thing was so well written. Mac and Sam are amazingly strong, stu...
3.5 starsWhen Joshua Blakeman decides to take up the task of checking the state of affairs in Chapter One, the bookshop of his recently deceased father, he expects to have to face painful memories, shame and regret. What he does not expect is finding a friend in the owner of the shop next door, M...
