Gabriel (The Second Legacy) - Latest Reviews




Sexy Erotic Xciting - Heart-wrenching and powerful~ R.J. Scott’s most inspirational and tumultuous read to date, Gabriel will bring tears to your eyes from the first page of the book.

Ms. Scott’s words were unfiltered and resolute as she penned her characterization true to life and with no apologies of the harsh realities sometimes thrown as obstacles in the path of those who felt life was not worth living.

Gabriel’s life was not sugar-coated and realism permeated from each word written, each word spoken, and each physical confrontation.

Ms. Scott’s style of writing left no doubt she is a master craftsman who carefully allowed her characters to drive the story, never forcing the words, and staying true to themselves.

A must read, Gabriel is now a top ten.


Wicked Reads - This is a truly remarkable and special book – but definitely not an easy read. Gabriel is a man who has suffered a lot, and is still in the grips of a manipulative handler. Getting inside his head is an emotional experience; both incredibly moving and painful. Be prepared to try and persuade him to behave differently, again and again.

Thank you, Ms. Scott, for an intense, life affirming, and deeply romantic story. 


The Geekery Book Review - RJ Scott delivers another heart-wrenching yet beautiful story, this one featuring Gabe and Cam. This is definitely not the easiest story to read, Gabe goes through a lot of emotional and physical abuse, and it’s hard to read but it’s a part of his story. I felt for him, I hurt for him and I was angry for him. Cam and Gabe’s journey certainly isn’t easy or lighthearted but it’s a journey of healing and finally understanding what love really means.


MM Good Book Reviews - This story is an amazing addition to the Legacy series. 

I really enjoyed this story, we are given a treat as we follow Gabriel and Cam’s story because not only do we get their building love but we also see into some troubles in Cam’s life which adds to the overall story. R.J. Scott has yet again created a wonderful love story that emerges from tragic circumstances. There are some harrowing moments for Gabriel that can cause triggers to readers affected by sexual and physical abuse but those moments are important to the story.

I recommend this to those who love damaged characters who emerge from the ashes to rebuild their lives, who love men who are determined to hold onto love, who love a dash of trouble that is firmly smoothed over, and who love having their hearts filled with love as they read the last pages.


The Way She Reads - I’d advice anybody to heed this warning. If Kyle’s story in Legacy Ranch #1 was hard to read, this one takes the character’s pain and the reader’s discomfort a few steps further. There are no two ways about it, Gabriel’s plight will tear your heart out of your chest, break it and then stomp all over the broken pieces.

Gabriel’s journey towards a place where he begins to recognise that he is worth more and might be loveable and even capable of loving somebody else is breathtaking if far from easy. Because this story doesn’t come with miracles, sudden flashes of insight and easy ‘happy-ever-afters’. And while that made the story at times very hard to read, it also provided a level of reality that made the ending to this story all the more touching and so very worthy of the tears in my eyes.

So my friends, heed the warning and then lose yourself in a story that will touch your heart and stay with you for a very long time.

Gabriel (The Second Legacy) OUT NOW!



Trapped in darkness, can an escort find a man to help him into the light?

Gabriel Reyes never gave in. He fought and was hurt, was abused but escaped with his life. He made his way in the world using the one thing he was good at: sex. He earned a place with a man who controls everything but Gabriel is safe; he’s made it.

Cameron Stafford hires Gabriel for a night, needing nothing more than a pretend boyfriend to get his dysfunctional family off his back. With the money he has in the bank and his own hotel, why won't they just leave him alone? It doesn’t matter that a degenerative disease has stolen his vision, or that his last boyfriend was a bastard who tried to steal from him; for now he has purpose.

When Gabriel and Cam fall for each other, can they find real happiness and, maybe, a forever that will save them both?

Be aware: emotional and physical abuse are depicted on the page in this book.

A new story set in the world of Jack and Riley Campbell-Hayes and the Double D Ranch, Texas.

Today's snippet is from Gabriel the second book in the Legacy Series, each book is a new story set in the world of Jack and Riley Campbell-Hayes and the Double D Ranch, Texas.

“Where are we going?” Six asked.
“Legacy Ranch. It’s part of the Double D,” Gabriel murmured.
“I want it on record that I insisted we take Gabriel to the police.”
“Noted,” Cam agreed. “Is that the Campbell-Hayes place?”

So my friends, heed the warning and then lose yourself in a story that will touch your heart and stay with you for a very long time." - The Way She Reads
"I love reading RJ Scott books because she tackles sensitive matters with delicacy and grace. Her writing style is very visceral and poignant that I am often moved to tears. As with book 1, this second book was very angsty, emotionally taxing and subtly encouraging. The threads of hope kept me going through the hard to read parts because I know that we will eventually make it over to the other side." - Oh My Shelves

"It tugs at the heart strings. It makes you laugh. It makes you cry. It makes you angry. It makes you wonder how one person could inflict that much abuse on another human being. It makes you not want to stop reading until you've read the entire story cover-to-cover in one sitting.

It also make you wonder (at least it did me) what plot bunnies RJ is dealing with for the next Legacy series novel.

I wish I could give it 100 stars, but the most I can give it is 5, so 5 it is. Gabriel (The Second Legacy) is a definite must read!" - Jim's Reading Room

Kyle - The First Legacy (12 August 2016)

Two men destroyed by the past learn to live—and love—again.

Kyle Braden has nowhere else to go. With no money, no prospects, and no drive to be something else, he turns to the only man who promises him help. Jack Campbell-Hayes wants to show Kyle that he can be more than he ever thought. Kyle gets to realize just how far he’s come from being the scarred man who shut everyone out, when the first person through the doors of Legacy Ranch carries a gun and threatens to kill anyone who comes near him. Kyle wants to be the man that someone turns to for help and it scares him.

Thrown out of his house and with three years on the streets marking every inch of his body, Jason Smith is scared. His life is an evil mess of hate and despair, and even the offer of a fresh start and a clean bed isn’t enough for him to hand over his gun. He’s cheated death twice, and he’s not letting there be a third time—he might not be so lucky.

For these broken men, Legacy Ranch offers more than a place to live and work.

It offers hope.

Gabriel - The Second Legacy (30 September 2016)

Trapped in darkness, can an escort find a man to help him into the light?

Gabriel Reyes never gave in. He fought and was hurt, was abused but escaped with his life. He made his way in the world using the one thing he was good at: sex. Using his body, he earned the flash car and the apartment with the views. Gabriel’s a success; he’s made it.

He needs no one and he has no one. But that’s okay, because he’s safe.

Cameron Stafford hires Gabriel for a night, needing nothing more than eye candy to persuade his family that he’s happy. With the money he has in the bank and a job that takes him all over the world, why wouldn’t he be happy? It doesn’t matter that a degenerative disease is stealing his vision; for now he has purpose.

One night with an escort was all it was supposed to be, until Cam is thrust into Gabriel’s world. He soon realizes he’s fallen for Gabriel, a man caught in his own world of darkness.

Daniel - The Third Legacy (29 January 2017)

A hidden past can only mean an uncertain future.

Daniel ‘Danny’ Flynn has made his way through college on athletics scholarships. One more year at university, and as soon as he graduates, a career with his aunt’s real estate agency will be his.
Danny had his hopes set on an alternate path—winning a place on the US gymnastics team. When he doesn’t make the cut, it looks like his future is set in selling houses. He’s buried his past and his lies have kept him sane; he’s not going to let them out now.

Corey Dryden is a journalist onto the story of the year. Four men, one abuser, and all connected to Dallas royalty—Jack and Riley Campbell-Hayes. Corey just needs a way in, and tracking down Daniel is his first step. This story could be award winning exposure for Corey’s career, and he’ll do anything to get what he needs. Can the lies he tells Danny lead to anything but heartbreak?

Because, Danny’s past has to stay hidden, or it could destroy any hope of a future for either of them.
