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 the 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.

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 the first book I have read by RJ Scott and now that I have a plan on reading many, many more. This story not only combined the elements I so enjoy (science fiction, m/m romance, conflict in relationships, well-developed characters, and lots of emotionality), but it wove all of those elements together seamlessly.
