Geoff W

Book cover of "Second Chance Ranch" with Amazon Affiliate linkBook five of the R.J. Scott’s Montana series gives us an in-depth look at two characters who have made multiple quick appearances throughout the series so far. We have Rob, Justin’s (from A Cowboy’s Home) former Navy Seal ex-black ops teammate who has become the guardian of his two nephews but is facing impending death due to lead poisoning from a bullet, and Aaron, Ryan’s (from Snow in Montana) younger brother who is also ex-military and one of the local paramedics.

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 983: Unexpecting – Jen Bailey

Geoff W

Book cover of "Unexpecting" with Amazon Affiliate linkWhen someone in the marketing department reached out about this back in December, I wasn’t I was going to read it as I’d had a very stressful fall with a new puppy and school and work, but the blurb stayed in my mind, and after a couple of days deliberation I finally said yes.* I mean I had months to read it so may as well say yes and then plan around my schedule.

Unexpecting was unexpectedly (hardy har har) charming. Was it perfect? No, but that’s okay. It was a fun easy-to-read debut with unique and memorable characters (main and supporting). The book brought a lot of emotions out of me from hating and then understanding Maxie’s parents to my wanting to shake some sense into Ben but also wanting to give him a big hug for trying so hard and finally seeing reality. It was definitely a whirlwind.

Book 979: Heartbreak Boys – Simon James Green

Geoff W

Book cover of "Heartbreak Boys" with Amazon Affiliate linkI snagged a copy of this book from NetGalley way back in April, but of course, my schedule went off the rails and I ended up missing the review deadline by a few weeks.* I’m glad I kept my copy and finally got around to it though, it was great!

Heartbreak Boys is the story of Jack and Nate. It starts with a coming out, two horrible breakups, cheating, a lot of sass, an Instagram rivalry, and an embarrassingly awkward forced-road trip together. If that doesn’t convince you to read it, the former best-friends patch up and grow closer should!

Book 975: A Gift-Wrapped Holiday (Lighthouse Bay #4) – Amy Aislin

Geoff W

Book cover of "A Gift-Wrapped Holiday" with Amazon Affiliate linkI requested a copy of this from Gay Romance Reviews because it’s Maine and I remembered enjoying the couple of books I read by Amy Aislin.*

This is the story of Luca who fled the west coast after his family shot down his idea to make their wrapping paper company more eco-friendly and environmentally conscious to open his own holiday wrapping store, and Mal, a single dad and graphic designer who recently moved back to his home town to be closer to family.
