The Christmas Throwaway
RJ Scott has created a beautiful and inspirational story that grabs hold of the heart and doesn't let go, even after its final words are read. It is a sweetly sentimental book that cultivates an emotional response and inspires belief that love can prevail under the most improbable of circumstances. The characters are well developed and engaging, and the attraction between Zach and Ben was entirely credible. To use a trite but true cliché, The Christmas Throwaway is simply a feel-good story, a touching and romantic read that embodies the meaning of new beginnings and happy endings.

The Christmas Throwaway
The Christmas Throwaway
touched me, not because Zach was homeless at 17 and had been thrown out of his home by his father one week before Christmas, but his character was so vulnerable and innocent that it would take a much harder heart than mine to resist him. However, this book is a dichotomy. It's so sweet in some parts but quite harsh and realistic in others. Two years after they met t
he ending was everything I could have hoped for. There
is
sex but it's not at the level that some readers are accustomed to, however I would urge you to read Zach's and Ben's beautiful story. Definitely recommended.

Moments
Although I began reading it looking for a Hollywood train wreck, this novel is much more than that. It is a well-told story of love, personal growth and redemption that I found to be touching and quite involving. It features well-developed and arresting characters, heartfelt emotion, and a romance that is both intriguing and affecting… I will definitely be seeking out more of Ms. Scott's work in the future.

Oracle
This is a story that transcends time and space. R. J. Scott paints a wonderful scenario between ancient Greece and modern day as a backdrop for the story. Mystery and suspense keeps you turning the pages. If you are looking for something different to read then this would be a book for you.

Oracle
Oracle is a story whose roots are planted firmly in Greek Mythology. The characters are drawn from both mythology and the contemporary, and each had an important role to play in the exposition of the plot. Alex and Luke were strong protagonists, and the bond they were fated to share was deeply compelling and authentic. From the introduction to the conclusion, the plot held my attention with a blend of romance, suspense, conflict, and action.
