4.5 stars. Just what I needed today -- this series is the equivalent of comfort food. "Texas Family" is my favorite book in the the series so far. It contains lots of sweet moments and some surprisingly hot scenes, surprising because I usually associate R.J. Scott with more sweet than smut. Even though the story revolves around Riley and Jack growing their family, the kids aspect didn't overwhelm the book. There's still plenty of time to get up-to-date on the soapy lives of the rest of the Campbell-Hayes family members. We also gets lots of couple time with Jack and Riley, whose bond remains strong and loving. 3.5 stars (rounded up not down only because of my love for these two men - it's really not a 4 star book for me)This was a great addition to the series, but it didn't satisfy me like the previous books. Jack and Riley are fantastic again: in love (viscerally so) and very loved up, but one minute I was happily reading along and then it was over. Something made me look at the page number when there were 20 or so pages left—I had thought I was maybe halfway—and at this point, no additions had been made to the family. The family did expand by the end and you learnt it would again in their near future, but... I suppose I felt I'd got to the top of the mountain (that 20 pgs to go point, which really should have been halfway) then instead of ambling down at a nice pace and enjoying the scenery I was made jump off the cliff and the ground came at me far too quickly. It was unsatisfying. There's no doubt I'll read the next book. Happy to read Marcus and Liam's story even if I wish (so much) that it was to be Eli and Robbie's. I suppose all those loose ends may be touched upon or even tied up. Hope so.
What do You think about Texas Family (2013)?
Always glad to see the boys happy and still loving on each other.
