HEY FRIENDS, BOY AM I LATE TO THE PARTY ON THIS ONE BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK AND CAN'T WAIT TO BRING YOU MY (LATE :( ) REVIEW!! SO LOOK BELOW FOR THAT AND MORE INCLUDING AN EXCERPT, SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK!!
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW PERFECT THIS QUOTE IS FOR SCOTT!!! HERE IS MY REVIEW!
A sea change could be
just what the doctor ordered.
Doctor
Scott Penney used to be a Paediatric Oncologist—until he burned out. Watching
children suffer and die took its toll on his mental health. To cope, he used
anonymous sex as an emotional crutch, thinking it was better than hitting the
bottle. But that inevitably destroyed his relationship with the man he loved.
With
his tail between his legs and a year’s worth of celibacy under his belt, Scott
accepts a position as an Accident and Emergency consultant, leaving his career
in oncology and London behind.
Ben
Jenkins is a paediatric nurse who loves his seaside city, his job, and his
faithful old Labrador, Happy. When he meets the new doctor, Ben falls for
Scott’s kind-yet-reserved personality—not to mention his good looks. Scott is
great with the children who come through the hospital, but Ben senses there’s
more to Scott than meets the eye.
Scott
tries to resist Ben’s sunny charm—Scott’s not boyfriend material, after all—but
it’s impossible not to fall in love with the sad looking old dog and his
charming owner. As Scott and Ben get closer and the weather heats up, tragedy
strikes and Ben is left wondering how much of Scott’s history he actually
knows.
For
them to move forward, Ben must show Scott that no matter what happened in the
past, a beautiful day can always start after the sun sets.
**This can be read as a standalone**
Scott is running from his past mistakes and what he doesn't know is that until he can make peace with himself, he will never be happy. When he meets Ben after he moves to a small town to start over, he realizes that maybe he had found someone who he wants to start something with, but does he trust himself to not mess things up?
Ben likes Scott, but does he know everything about him? What will happen when Scott is forced to deal with his past one way or another? Will it be to much for them? Can Ben convince Scott that sometimes we must look forward not back?
This is an amazing book, and you can read it as a standalone but I encourage to read all the books in this series! Thanks Rj, for another amazing piece of writing!
the 5 Happy rating :)
I LOVE BEN'S DOG HAPPY, SO I JUST HAD TO DO THIS RATING! GRAB THE BOOK AND YOU WILL LOVE HAPPY TOO!
I SHIFTED from foot to foot while Ben gave Happy
a quick brush down. “Have you eaten? I mean, we missed the pizza and…” I stared
at the floor, willing my stomach to stop rolling. Maybe food would help settle
it, buy me some time to get myself together.
Ben looked up at me from his spot on the kitchen
floor. He’d brushed Happy and was sweeping the bits of dirt into a small
dustpan. His eyes were warm but held a concern in them I hadn’t seen before. He
turned his attention back to his dog. “Go and lie down, boy.” He patted his
rump, Happy seemingly content to go to his bed under the window and curl up.
After putting the pan away, Ben came and stood before me, taking my hand in
his. “We’ll eat later. C’mon.” He dragged me up the stairs to the bathroom.
I watched in the doorway as Ben turned on the tap
for the shower. It was foolish. I shouldn’t be so nervous around a man I
planned on having sex with, but I didn’t want it to turn out like last time.
I saw a movie once where someone said, ‘Even bad
sex is good sex.’ I couldn’t agree with that statement. I knew what good sex
felt like. I also knew that last time I’d been in Ben’s bedroom, it had been a
complete fucking disaster.
What if we weren’t compatible in bed? What if we
tried to make a go of this relationship—if that’s what it was—and it died all
because I couldn’t get past my nervousness in the sack?
“Leave it at the door.” Ben stripped out of his
clothes, his gaze holding mine hostage.
“My clothes?” Did my voice just crack? I coughed,
trying to clear my throat.
“No. Your anxiety. From now on when we’re
together, your nerves are not allowed here.” Ben raised a brow. “Okay?” He
stood naked before me, the freckles on his pale chest standing out like a
beacon. He grabbed my hand. “It’s just me and you. We don’t have to do anything
you don’t want or aren’t ready for, but your apprehension isn’t needed. We’re
just two guys who are attracted to each other. I know you’re not a virgin.” Ben
quirked his lips, that same smile that lit up any room he walked into. “Come
shower with me. Let me show you how to let go. Let me wash it all away.”
Ben kissed me tenderly while helping me out of my
clothes. His long, perfectly shaped dick hung flaccid against his thigh, and I
wondered if I’d ever be able to get an erection again or would my nerves render
me impotent. Despite him telling me to leave my doubts at the door, my skin
tingled with unwanted tension. I tried to show him I was okay, but I feared my
smile came out as more of a grimace.
“What if—?”
Ben pressed a finger to my lips. “They’re left at
the door, remember? Leave them there. Clear your head.” He removed his finger
and replaced it with his lips, giving me a brief kiss before stepping into the
shower.
TRUST ME GUYS, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK AS MUCH AS I DO! HERE IS A BIO AND SOCIAL LINKS FOR Rj, LOOK HER UP FRIENDS, SHE IS AMAZING!
RJ started as a reader and eventually
made the progression to reviewing. It wasn't until two men popped into her
thoughts, insisting on telling her their story that she started to write. It
started with one scene. A hot and dirty one in the shower.
RJ's initial thought was if she could
write their scene then they'd shut up and allow her to concentrate on other
aspects of the day. That shower scene was 3000 words long and three hours of
work. But they didn't shut up. They told her their entire story and
she didn't sleep for days. Sometimes she couldn't keep up with what they
were telling her and she had to keep a notebook by the bed.
Whilst RJ was writing
their story a side character decided he needed his story told too. Then
other characters followed suit.
You see the problem? If RJ ever wants
to sleep again then she needs to write.
RJ is a wife and a mother to two
boys. Even her dog is a boy.
She is surrounded by males.
RJ writes emotionally charged, character driven
romances. Her guys will always get their HEA, but it will never be easy.
Where to find me
