Carra's Review
I loved the characters, both main and supporting. I don't think I could pick a favorite, it would be one massive tie. Nate is so strong, loyal, protective and let's not forget...cowboy! He so readily became the leader of his family when tragedy struck, and even as solid as he appears, you can still feel a bit of vulnerability when it comes to him and Jay together. Jay has a similar past--having to become the caretaker of his family--and is extremely devoted to their happiness and well-being. He's also very smart, and has a fun side when it comes to leading Nate where he wants him.
A lot of the story centers upon the ranch itself and the issues it has that Nate and the others are trying to overcome. The one thing that I wished the story would have had is more interaction between Nate and Jay. With everything else that was going on, I just would have liked to have seen more of them together so I could better see the development of their relationship in that respect (no, I'm not talking intimate scenes, I'm just talking in general).
But even with that wish, I still loved the story-it really kept me engaged and with my fingers crossed that everything would work out between Nate and Jay. It's always a good read when you have two main characters who seem so much at odds realize that they are actually what the other wants. I really enjoyed the alternating points of view from Jay and Nate, it added depth to the story being able to hear both of their sides.
4.5 stars for Crooked Tree Ranch, and I can't wait to read more in this series. Recommended for fans of M/M romance 18+ (especially if you are fans of cowboys) as there's adult language and M/M sexual content.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go start on convincing my husband that I NEED the rest of RJ Scott's backlist...
