RJ Scott's 'The Christmas Throwaway' is Terrific

The Christmas ThrowawayThe Christmas Throwaway by RJ Scott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really loved this story. The characters are very well-rounded and their tale is sweet, engrossing and has a perfect ending. I fell for Zach the moment I met him, as does Ben; I can see why. I adored Ben's family and friends too, all of whom come alive on the pages, alongside the handsome and realistic main characters. The setting, Hill Valley, is delightful too.

I read it in a day, which is always a sign of a fabulous read, especially since I am a word-by-word reader rather than a speed reader!

I'm going to be reading RJ Scott's 'Oracle' next.

Thanks to the author for a terrific tale of compassion and affection.

Recommended Reads

I have been workng with A B Gayle on joint entries to the Haven Falls website. I've been impressed by Gayle's skill as a writer and the commitment shown to quality in writing. Indeed it is as a result of these conversations with A B Gayle that I decided to start my 'annexe' blog, The Artisan Author (see previous post).

I'd like to recommend the following texts to you all:

'Caught', by A B Gayle, available from 22nd September from DreamSpinner Press.


'Mardi Gras', by A B Gayle, available now from Noble Romance Publishing
.

I'm not going to provide any spoilers here. Go take a look at A B Gayle's website and you'll find excerpts and other information about all this author's works. Gayle writes engaging, well-informed, contemporary, thought-provoking stories. I adored both of the above tales and look forward to reading more. Gayle also writes non-fiction and is a sensitive and proficient editor, as well as being a very interesting and eloquent raconteur and friend.
