Focus On Summer House (English Hearts)

The Book


A standalone, English Hearts story.

A rich playboy who lives for the now, and a Veterinarian who is ruled by his past, both seek a future that allows for love.

Ashby Sterling-Haynes, the youngest son of a titled family, has had a lot of hook ups, but has never found someone worth keeping. When he meets introverted Veterinarian, Connor Lawson, he realizes this could be the man he's been waiting for.

Connor has a painful past and no room for an entitled rich guy in his future. Ashby is everything that Connor dislikes in a man and is way too sexy to be anything but a disruption to Connor’s peaceful life.

Both men refuse to believe in love for different reasons. Until they meet each other and a future together becomes real...

Excerpt

Here is peace.

A noise behind him had him turning. Someone was following him through the trees, but the footfalls sounded louder than he had been, rhythmic, and when the man burst out of the woods in running shorts, shoes and little else, Connor was startled by the abruptness of it all.

Then he realised who it was.

So much for peace.

Ash pulled up the run right next to him. And more of that naked chest was seemingly thrust into Connor’s world. “Hey,” he said by way of greeting. He didn’t even sound out of breath.

“You’re a runner,” Connor noted. And why the hell did I say that? Because I’m stupid around Ash’s naked chest, that’s why.

Ash looked down at himself. “Uhm, yeah.”

They stood in uncomfortable silence for a few seconds, but then both spoke at once.

“I wanted to apologise—”

“I’m sorry—”

They both stopped. Connor waited. Something about the expression on Ash’s face spoke to him. There was concern there, and embarrassment.

“I’m sorry if us kissing at the surgery was inappropriate.” Ash spoke formally, which was at odds with the bare chest, barely there running shorts and the glistening sweat that was over every inch of his lithe body, well the inches that Connor could see, anyway.

“And I’m sorry if I judged you without knowing you.”

Ash appeared to consider the statement. “Will you tell me why you did?”

Connor shook his head rigorously.

Another impasse. Ash stepped into his space and he smelled of sunshine. Connor held himself rigid. Quickly Ash pressed another kiss to Connor’s lips, backed off and began to leave, jogging backwards for a while.

“Never said sorry meant I wouldn’t kiss you again,” he said with a laugh. Then he ran through an arch in the wall to the Grange and disappeared.

Yet again Connor was left astonished at the audacity and more than halfway turned-on by the action.

“Arsehole,” he muttered. Then, pivoting on his heel, his peace well and truly destroyed, he went back to his car.

Confident, sexy, arrogant Ash was seriously fucking with his head and was way too much like Tristan. He was halfway through the woods when he stopped as a sudden thought crossed his mind.

So why doesn’t him being in my space freak me out? Why was he the first man to get close since everything happened that didn’t make Connor want to run? What was it about Ash and all his cockiness that wasn’t quite the same as those others?

Connor crouched down as all his energy left him in one heavy exhale.

The others.

Review Round up - July 2015

I'm going to publish a round-up of reviews I have received from blog sites: new books and old. Sometimes I am surprised by a welcome review from a book that has been out a while. I hope to make this a monthly post *looks at my PA - she nods*.

Undercover Lovers(Bodyguards Inc. #4)

Sexy for Review 5/5 "...I loved the dynamics between Kyle and Ross. They have a friendship based on work and admiration which makes their jobs run flawlessly. Ms. Scott’s portrayal of Kyle—the big, bad stoic owner of Bodyguards, Inc.—yet the gentle giant who delivered a sensual dance with Ross when the two men finally succumbed to their passions. As always in an RJ Scott series, the characters are an integral part of each other’s stories and she never forgets to add the small nuances which make us laugh or swoon. No spoilers, (but Ross gets Adam back).Sensual and sexy, RJ Scott delivers another winner in the Bodyguards Inc. series. Undercover Lovers hit the mark. Full Review

Laquette 5/5 "... By far, this is my favorite Bodyguards Inc book. Ross and Kyle together has been something we've been waiting for since the very first book. Ms. Scott definitely didn't disappoint..." Full Review

Diverse Reader "... I LOVED how she brought these 2 together. It was a perfect, smack them in the back of the head and wake up. It was exciting, beautiful, tense, everything the realization you both want the same thing should be. I love this series and this book was the best of them all in my opinion..." Full Review

Prism Book Alliance 4.25/5 "...This is easily my favourite book of the series so far. We have waited and waited for Ross and Kyle’s story and in all honesty that wait was more than worth it! When Kyle employed Ross as his PA 2 years ago it was instant lust. Those feelings grew rapidly until Kyle was overwhelmed with how he felt and very much in love. Rather than risk their friendship and make things difficult at work he keeps his feelings bottled up and has absolutely no idea that Ross feels the same way." Full Review

The Ex Factor(Bodyguards Inc. #2)

Rainbow Book Reviews 4/5 – “…RJ has created a tale of intrigue and suspense with incredibly strong emotions, especially the feelings between Daniel and Ben.” Full Review














Retrograde (Flight HA1710#1)

Padme’s Library 4.5/5 – “...Retrograde is a beautifully written tale of tragedy bringing together those that let their stubbornness keep them apart.” Full Review














The Summer House (EnglishHearts #1)

Padme’s Library 5/5 - “…I loved the way the writer created a connection between the two that was pretty obvious and bordering on cliché on the surface but with each moment they spend in the other's company we quickly learn that there is so much more to both the individual characters and as a pair.” Full Review

The Sumner House - Reader Review...

I have had some lovely reviews on The Summer House, but this one just jumped out at me... from a reader on Amazon.com... A review from a reader is just as vital asone from a reviewer or blogger, and I love every single one of them. So thank you to Bo, who left this wonderful review, which I paste here untouched.

Wonderful Series Opener
By Bo on June 8, 2015
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

When RJ Scott decides to create a new set of characters and weave them into a series, watch out! You will be screaming at her and her publisher as the end of the first book to get on with it, already--give us more!

What a bunch of English city mouse/country mouse characters this one tosses at us. The sweet natured, but distinctly uptight, tall, blond, broad shouldered gay but not rainbow waving village veterinarian, Connor Lawson; and the cheeky, athletic, openly gay, rakish, promiscuous, and not-to-be-denied Ashby Sterling-Haynes. Both are perfectly portrayed on the cover.

This one sneaks around and lets you into Connor's head, but not all the way there to explain why he is so antagonistic to rich gay boys. However, it does not pussyfoot around when it comes to describing the Sterling-Haynes family, which turns out to be somewhat more level headed than one would expect from such a titled and apparently very loaded clan.

Along the way we come to know Connor's best friend, Rachel, who sets the tone for the book right in the first chapter, and one or two other village characters, including two who will become the subjects of the next one in the series.

You will laugh, you will wipe away a tear or two, you will want to strangle Connor and Ash every once in a while, but you will sail right through this one like you will most of Scott's books--and come away with an appetite for more, which she is promising us. Damn good idea.

Reviews

Crystals Many Reviewers - 4/5 - "I was pleasantly surprised that this new series has such a different feel than Texas does. I know, Texas and England are an ocean apart (literally) and should feel different. But this is not always the case when an author writes within the same genre, which in this case is M/M Contemporary Romance. Please don’t take that as a complaint either, because I often enjoy the familiarity such a writing style provides. But in the case of The Summer House I enjoyed the difference immensely and Ashby and Connor have already taken up residence in my reading heart."

Words of Wisdom - "....Readers who enjoy watching opposites attract will be drawn to the complex relationship between veterinarian Connor and rich boy Ash in this sweet and sensual read. Over the course of one summer these two men will find themselves at crossroads that will not only push them together but pull them apart as they discover who they really are and what they really want. The quietness of village life is the backdrop to this relationship that is antagonistic at first but slowly becomes more profound as they deal with their pasts, prejudices, and expectations and readers will find themselves quickly caught up in the drama...."

Padme's Library - 5/5 - "....You can't help but want to wrap Connor up in a tight hug to shield him from what we can guess he dealt with in his past.  Watching him find his way in the world and specifically in the community that held such wonderful childhood memories is refreshing and uplifting...."

Nautical Star Books - 4/5 - "....The setting that the author creates in The Summer House is incredibly vivid.  RJ Scott is a writer who can paint a mental picture like few others can.  The breathtaking countryside, the small village, it’s inhabitants and the old buildings just come to life in this book.  You can almost see the green fields and the rough stones of the old church as you read this story.

I didn’t like Connor at first.  I thought he was judging Ash unfairly and had a chip on his shoulder.  However, as you read The Summer House you come to learn more and more of his history and finally understand WHY he hates rich playboys as much as he does.  He tries so hard to stay away from Ash but these two guys are just drawn to one another.

Let me just say that the secondary characters in The Summer House are amazing.  And the secondary characters that RJ Scott creates are so much more than just background noise in this story!  I just about cried over Mick and Bessie’s story.  Truly amazing details that the author puts into this book!

The Summer House is more about the romance than the sex.  This couple is drawn to one another and there is definite heat there but they are slow to act on it.  When they do, though, it is beautiful and romantic and steamy all rolled into one.

The Summer House by RJ Scott is truly a beautiful love store about overcoming your fears, finding love, and forging a new future.  Definitely a book I recommend for lovers of M/M romance!...."

Round up of news, Sanctuary 8, Bodyguards Inc 3, a PA, and other bits and pieces

Hi everyone, welcome to the round up of news. I'm not well still and this is my way of easing back into the writing today... :(

News

Accidental Hero (Sanctuary #8) - Yes I decided to go there. Sanctuary 8 is Cain's story and you can find more information about it at the link. This will be a new story arc now the Bullens are dealt with :)

Max And the Prince is out 27 March

For A Rainy Afternoon is out 1 April

I have my ticket for GRL - San Diego, October, so that is Euro Pride Con, UK Meet and GRL in my diary for this year... :)


My wonderful new PA

I finally did it, I now have a PA to help me with the *back end* stuff for RJ Scott. It's been five years and I finally came to the realisation that I have to let go of some of the stuff that stops me writing.

So welcome to Janet who says she can organise me and says I will have more time to focus on my writing. I am beyond excited!

If you receive an email from rjscott.team@gmail.com then that is Janet, going about her business and organising the unorganisable!

New Releases


Max and The Prince is with you Friday (only four more days). This is book 3 in the Bodyguards Inc series and follows the story of Max, who we first met in the short story I wrote before Christmas.

Did you miss the short? If you did then it is here: The Curious Case of the Missing Stapler

Max is assigned to a Max-is-A-University-Student job which he is horrified with, added to which his charge is royalty in hiding. Not a good combination, and when death visits the University Max has to figure out who the murderer is before Prince Lucien becomes the next victim.

Max and the Prince will be available at All Romance and Amazon 27 March, and at other third parties shortly thereafter.

For a Rainy Afternoon will be available to read 1st April from Dreamspinner Press. It is currently available for pre-order from AllRomance and Amazon. It is book 1 in a series of 5 linked-by-theme books with the amazing Amber Kell, Amy Lane, Marie Sexton and Mary Calmes. I'm excited and nervous to be among such illustrious company... :)

Robbie runs a small Post Office made from a converted Station House in a village northwest of London and his world is rocked when he finds love in unexpected places. He inherits a sealed box which includes several rare first editions and a cookery book. Only when the secrets of the ingredients in a particular recipe are finally revealed does everything begin to make sense... and a love story that began seventy years ago is finally uncovered.





Work In Progress


My current WIP is The Summer House, book 1 in my English Hearts series. A man with the weight of titles and money meets a Veterinarian and abruptly his entire life changes.

Ashby 'Ash' Sebastian Sterling-Haynes has had a lot of boyfriends, but he's never found the one.

Veterinarian, Connor Lawson is much happier working with animals than with people.

When Ash comes into the practice with a cat that has been in a fight Connor hides in his office because this Ashby guy is all kinds of dangerous. Too hot, too rich, too titled, and way too sexy for his own good.
Can two men who refuse to believe in love ever learn that love is the easy part of the journey to forever?

This book will be with you end May. :)

Retrograde - Flight HA1710

Book 1, in a linked--by-event series written with Amber Kell, Meredith Russell, Serena Yates, Clare London and Olivia Erikson. 
Co-Pilot Lachlan Donaghue wakes up in hospital, a survivor of the crash of Flight HA1710, with memory loss and the suspicion that he could be at fault for the tragic accident. When everything becomes too much he goes home to hide, back to the small Scottish town he grew up in and to his family home.

Rory Kendrick watches the news, sees every hour of the disaster unfold but never thinks that Lachlan was in the middle of it all. Or that his friend will be forced to come back home to hide and to heal. What Lachlan needs is a friend, not a lover, but sometimes the lines are just too blurred to make any sense.



Print Books

The Bucket List was released as an e-book in January and proved to be a popular book. I was so pleased with lots of wonderful reviews and comments. The book has just been made available in print.

Rainbow Gold Reviews - 10/10 - "....Beautiful and heartbreaking in one emotionally charged, well written novella.

....This novella, well I can’t say enough good things about this one. I loved it and would highly recommend this to you if you are looking for a story with some heartache and a whole lot of love...."

Bike Book Reviews - 5/5 - "....This book is a lovely little treasure that I can't wait for you to read! Thanks Rj for another beautiful read that will be at the top of everyone's re-read list!...."

Prism Book Alliance - 4/5 - "....Scott has the ability to write characters who are real without being over-drawn. She leaves many details just out of sight, because they are not essential to the core of her story. We are not handed great amounts of angst, nor are there horrific traumas unexpectedly revealed. Yes, there is a mystery that needs explaining; and there is sorrow in Mark’s youth that needs to be exorcised. Scott gives us just enough to help us embrace both Jason and Mark for all the good things they are, and to understand their motivations as they rediscover each other through their shared love of Andrew and grief over his untimely death.

My Inspiration Wall

I am lucky enough to have an office (aka converted dining room) and on the wall above my PC is my inspiration. Anyone that know me will know that I LOVE my cover art and that it inspires me. What you may not know is that I like, if I can, to have the cover art first. This inspires my writing no end and also means my guys descriptions match the cover. Of course the process of choosing the cover models is hard but it's just something i have to do (ROFL!).

On the top row are my released books (Heroes  and Bodyguards series). The second row is my WIP.

In order, I am writing The Summer House (English Hearts #1) next, then Undercover Lovers (Bodyguards Inc #4), then Deacon's Law (Heroes 3).

You'll also see signed pictures from Jordan L Hawk who I fangirled TO DEATH at GRL... poor girl.

There is also fan art from Karrie Jax who took a quote from Guarding Morgan (Sanctuary book 1) and made me some gorgeous art.

I don't fall in love on a whim. In fact, I've never been in love. For me this could well be my forever. I want it to to be your forever, too.

I also have a shelf for my print books (bottom left) but it's only a small shelf and I have run out of room... :O Oh and I have a calendar with my cover art on it currently showing The Barman and the SEAL (Ellery book 7) and Deacon's Law.

What do you think of my space?

Cover Art Reveal

Received new cover art for The Summer House (see below!) from the wonderful Meredith Russell. A book set in the beautiful Cotswolds, around an hour from my house! Stunning cover for book 1 - more details to follow and coming to an e-reader near you 29 May! [Add to Goodreads]


Ashby Sebastian Sterling-Haynes has had a lot of boyfriends, but he's never found the one.

The only person he can form an attachment to is his fourteen year old niece, and even that is in jeopardy when babysitting her cat goes all kinds of wrong.

Veterinarian, Connor Lawson is much happier working with animals than with people. He has deliberately returned home and to the Summer House he recalled from childhood holidays for peace and quiet and the chance to heal from wounds no one would ever see.

When his next door neighbor comes into the practice with a cat that has been in a fight he hides in his office because this Ashby guy is all kinds of dangerous. Too hot, too rich, too titled, and way too sexy for his own good.

Can two men who refuse to believe in love ever learn that love is the easy part of the journey to forever?
