Review: The Sinner and the Saint

The Sinner and the Saint by R.J. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve miss the gang in Ellery Mountain. So I’m glad we got to go back and visit. This book is another wonderful addition to the series.

Nick is a good guy. He’s from old money, and an actor. He’s doing what he can to get out of a bad situation, marrying a family friend, Heather. But she’s now met the love of her life and is pregnant. Neither family will accept this. So Nick makes a statement to the press about being gay and becomes the fall guy. Hiding from the press, his family and everyone else, he takes his friend Jason’s offer to stay at his home in Ellery. To bad no one told the neighbor there was someone staying at Jason’s.

Ben takes all of his duties very seriously, as a doctor and as a neighbor. So when Jason asks him to keep an eye on the house, he does. This is why he called the cops when the outside house lights are blazing all night. Someone is there and he doesn’t know who. When Nick checks out, and if he can’t get the guy staying in Jason’s house out of his mind, maybe he should scratch that itch.

I loved the chemistry between Nick and Ben. How Nick’s British humor throws Ben off sometimes. And how both of them, more on Ben’s part, keep telling themselves that it’s just sex and it is, until it isn’t. But since neither of them plan to stay in Ellery, what else can it be?

Like any of the author’s story, this on is well written and the characters fully developed. It was so good to see some of the gang return for an appearance here. Another wonderful addition to the series, I hope there are more.
