Book 990: Montana Sky (Montana #6) – R.J. Scott

Geoff W

Book cover of "Montana Sky" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis was by far my least favorite novel even though it was a return to the ranch with everything in the book happening there (except one scene). Only one of the protagonists was connected to the story at all, Martin, the kid of Adam Justin’s kidnappers who experienced just as much abuse and torment as they did. The other protagonist, Tyler, is a random seismologist (I think), who happened to realize there was a hole in the seismology network and convinced Nate, from book one, to let him put a detector on Crooked Tree Ranch property.

Book 986: The Rancher’s Son (Montana #2) – R.J. Scott

Geoff W

Book cover of "The Rancher's Son" with Amazon Affiliate linkThis book took a different turn from what I expected from a series set in Montana after the first book. For one thing, there were a lot fewer cowboys and horses.

This book focuses on the second family of the three that have a stake in Crooked Tree Ranch. Ethan, the older brother who is a cop, has spent the last decade looking for his brother, Justin, and his brother’s best friend, Adam, who went missing when they were younger. He’s never given up hope and all of a sudden he’s called to Chicago and finds Adam who has no memories of him or anyone else the only words he said were “Ethan” and “Crooked Tree Ranch.”

Book 985: Crooked Tree Ranch (Montana #1) – R.J. Scott

Geoff W

Book cover of "Crooked Tree Ranch" with Amazon Affiliate linkI swear I’ve either read this book before or read something very similar to it. I checked the publication date and it was after I started the blog and was documenting every book. So I’m not sure why this and the second book were SO FAMILIAR. Or maybe I started it and didn’t finish it so it never made it to my list, but either way, it was really eerie reading the first two in this series.

I grabbed this series from Kindle Unlimited right before our February trip to the Dominican Republic. I knew I didn’t want to read non-fiction because school is so full of it now and nothing on my shelf spoke to me, so here I ended up.

Book 953: Stronger Than Passion (Chesapeake Days #2) – Katherine McIntyre

Book cover of "Stronger than Passion" with Amazon Affiliate linkComing off Stronger Than Hope, I wasn’t 100% sure I was going to read the next one in the series. There were just enough little annoyances in it that I wasn’t convinced. However, when this landed in my inbox I thought why not give McIntyre another chance, see if the same issues showed up again.*

I called Nico being one of the protagonists of this book but had no clue who the second would be. We find ourselves with a classic enemies-to-lovers trope. Nico Shah, the owner and proprietor of the local town bar who is a one-night-stand only kind of guy, is forced to work with Hudson West, the pretty boy with a presumed-trust fund who runs the high-end classy restaurant of the town. They don’t get on because of numerous misunderstandings, but they slowly fall for each other as they work together.

Book 947: Hot Pursuit (The Hot Cannolis #3) – Eli Easton

Geoff W

Book cover of "Hot Pursuit" with Amazon Affiliate linkIt was a little surprising to see that this one was only written by Eli Easton but I found out that what I  believe will be the final book in the series, Hot Lips, will be authored by Tara Lain. That being said, it didn’t stop me from requesting this one when it landed in my inbox!* I knew Rick’s story would be good and it was definitely good.

Hot Pursuit is the story of Rick and John. Rick is Mike (from Hot Seat) and Donny’s (from Hot Wings) uncle and is a homicide detective and recently came out to some of his family in support of Donny. He’s assigned a new partner, John, who has a chip on his shoulder for some reason and caught Rick’s attention even before he was assigned as his partner.
