When I started to read this book I had a few expectations, I LOVED Heart of Texas ...So I was looking forward to more of that awesomeness:

1. I was expecting some Texas sized drama with CRAZY ASS plot twists that practically came with sinister background music...CHECK!

1. I was expecting some Texas sized drama with CRAZY ASS plot twists that practically came with sinister background music...CHECK!

2. I wanted some sweet, beautiful heartwarming Jack and Riley moments that left me sighing, and teary eyed...CHECK CHECK!

3. I knew I was going to get some HOT TOE CURLING SMEXING....CHECK CHECK CHECK!! I swear at one point I had Marvyn Gayes singing in my head...Jack is ONE HOT COWBOY.

4. I knew that I would be once again charmed by Jack and Riley's family, crazy Texan tribe that they are...CHECK!

This was a lovely follow up story. We catch up with Jack and Riley a year after we left them. They are married, in love and trying to build that life together they fought so hard to get...Things are going pretty well...Until Riley gets a phone call from his sister informing him that he is a father. An old girlfriend of has passed away and left a will saying Riley is her daughter's Daddy and she wants him to care for her. And off we go with Jack and Riley through all kinds of turns and twisty twists...We got a little bit of everything too...More crazy scandal, lying, a lawsuit here, some embezzlement there, token maniac thrown in, and even a bit of FBI action to keep us on our toes!

What I loved about both these books is that they are unapologetically over the top with the dramatics. It might be my Latina heart that wholeheartedly appreciates a good novela, but I really do enjoy the craziness of it all.

Jack and Riley can be just so devastatingly sweet and loving to each other, it warms my heart. There were so many moments in this book, that seeing Jack through Riley's eyes or Riley through Jack's eyes was so tender and open it was almost heartbreaking...What a love they have. They are so strong together weathering any storm. Riley's daughter Haley was adorable, and reading about my boys as proud pappas was wonderful. Overall this book is a lovely finish to this love story. If you read the first one don't hesitate to read this one...There were a few moments here or there were things got a teeny tiny bit slow, other than that I was very happy with this story.

Recommend, what a lovely early Christmas present from Ms. Scott.(less)

I really enjoyed seeing Riley and Jack again and seeing them tackle another problem but more than that I'm just happy to say I was in no way disappointed with this story.

I still loved Riley and Jack and I feel like they really are a great couple. They can get through anything from an unexpected kid to dealing with multiple crazy people to the after affects of shady business deals and while their relationship might get a little rocky, in the end, they can handle anything together as long as they have each other. Jack still has his temper but counters it with such passion. Riley is almost a mess in this book but he's more confident in himself than before. They both take to Riley's new daughter, Hayley, really well and I felt like they finally became the family they should be. It was very sweet.

My only problem with the book was I felt like the conflict with the FBI and all of that situation was rather rushed and incomplete. I was hoping we got a lot more details on it than we did. The whole situation kind of flew by and I still don't feel like it was settled because I still have a bunch of questions about it.

So, would I recommend this book? Yeah, I would but then again I'm a huge Riley and Jack fan so no matter how many sequels comes after this one, if any, I'll read them because I love this series, these characters and RJ's writing. It's not as intense as The Heart of Texas but it's much sweeter and that suited me just fine :)

I have to put this because it was one of the sweetest moments in the book: (view spoiler)(less)

There was not a moment for them in Heart of Texas to just 'be' in the first book and getting to see domestic life and how they lived day in and day out was missing.

I waited anxiously for this sequel, I LOVED The Heart of Texas with Jack & Riley and really wanted more of them, this story didn't disappoint. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because for me it was a bit too short, I really wanted more story. Riley was still very insecure with his relationship with Jack which I had hoped he wouldn't be in the second book. I was wanting to see them working out what ever ups and downs came their way with Riley being completely secure in his relatio...more

I really liked this, as I did the first book. I did, however, have problems with Riley. (view spoiler)

Hayley was adorable. The perfect fit for Jack and Riley. The other family members are as awesome as they were in the first book though they are all mostly in the background where they were in the forefront in the other one. I still totally love Jack. I only had one problem with him but I got over it. (view spoiler)

Overall, a very good continuation to Riley and Jack's story. Adding Hayley was a definite plus. I've totally fallen in love with this unique family and I can't wait to read the next in the series.(less)

The soap opera level drops off from the first book along with sexual tension but the story expands to include more of Jack and Riley just being a couple. Its nice just reading the two deal with couple issue that pop up from past mistakes and problem.

If your looking for character growth your not going to find a lot of it. Riley is still whiny and uncertain. Jack is still the steady rational one that takes everything in stride. (view spoiler)...more

RJ Scott has a knack for blending just the right amount of sweet with just the right amount of conflict in her books, and she does it again with Texas Winter, the continuing saga of Jack and Riley Campbell-Hayes.

On their delayed honeymoon, Riley gets a phone call that will forever alter the course of the Campbell-Hayes household, as a past that included a lot of mostly forgettable women imposes itself upon Riley in the very tangible form of a little lady who needs him now more than ever.

With those words of love, Riley married Jack at the end of the last book in this series, "The Heart of Texas", committing himself to the relationship that started as a way to get back at his father. Jeff was able to forgive Riley for manipulating him into the marriage, and make it a real partnership.

As "Texas Winter" picks up, Riley and Jack are living on the D ranch, exploring their love, and settling into this new and passionate relationship. Riley is able to talk Jeff into taking some time off for their honeymoon, and the two share some quality bonding time together away from both families. Until Riley's peace of mind is shattered by a call from his sister Eden, informing him of the arrival of his daughter. The daughter he never knew he had.

As Jack and Riley return back home to deal with this unexpected addition to their lives, Riley also is contacted by his father, Jim, about a business...irregularity...involving his brother Jeff. As he becomes more and more distracted and upset and distant from his husband, will Jack and Riley find a way to make all these new changes work in their new and sometimes fragile relationship? Or will it all prove to be too much?

This is a worthy and, in some ways, superior, follow up to "The Heart of Texas", RJ Scott has written a true love story - about the love between two men, between family, between a father and daughter. Some of this love is quiet, some loud, some passionate, some gentle. Love grows here, and love is found. New love is formed.

We get to see Riley struggle and turn to Jack for strength. And we see Riley there for Jack, in ways he never expected. We see both men learn how strength takes many forms, how sometimes it's a touch, or a kind word, or passion, or quiet calm in the eye of the storm.

Most of all, we see the beginning of a new family. Riley grew up in a "quiet mausoleum", devoid of love except for his sister, and was given a taste of how family can be when he saw the loud love and laughter of the Campbell household. When he and Jack and their new daughter come together to bond as a family of their own, we are treated to a softening and strengthening in Riley that is wonderful to see.

While there is action in this book (the mess Jeff leaves for his brother to clean up puts Riley's life in danger yet again), this is a much more controlled, quiet ballad of a book, where "The Heart of Texas" was more a rock opera. The heart of this book is in its core - love. And really, the best reads always come back to that center.

Job well done, Ms. Scott!

Once again, Riley is the subject of the good and much of the nasty stuff that happens in RJ Scott, Texas Winter.

Riley, who thinks things to death, is off his stride. A natural reaction when one suddenly has a child shoved into their life where none existed before. What is he going to do with a sweet and precocious eight years old daughter?

Riley and Jack call in the troop. The family converges onto the D ranch with open arms to accept the new addition. Then begins the continual ebb and flow of Riley thoughts as he wonders does he have what it take to be a good father. Gerald, who raised Riley, certainly is not a good role model. To some extent, neither is Sandra, the mother. Riley does have Jim, who we discover in The Heart of Texas as Riley’s biological father. Jim is Riley’s mentor and has been there for him since birth. The problem is Riley hasn’t quite wrap his head around thinking of Jim as dad.

This is a lovely family drama with tension and conflicts along the storyline. The threads of family members’ minor subplots are interweave in the story. Jack and Riley are adorable as ever but their romance takes a back seat to the family drama. There are times we catch them at moments of desire. Needs arise as tension grows. Having a child does dampen the passions to some degree. Riley’s scenes with his daughter are realistically written.

And this leads me to where I’m a bit disappointed. I love having children as part of M/M Romance but not as the main feast. Jack serves essentially as Riley’s support as he adjusts to becoming a father. We don’t learn anything new about them as couple. Really, how Jack reacts to the daughter is nothing more than what I expected based on his characterization in the previous book.

I would love to have seen some meaningful tension between the couple. I do think Riley has an issue with Jack. A thread surfacing in the first book and continues in Texas Winter. One day Riley will have faith in his marriage to Jack, and stop expecting Jack to walk away at the slightest problem.

I really enjoyed this book, and feel that there's at least two more sequels based on an unfinished storyline concerning an FBI investigation, and Riley's new daughter.

I was hyper while waiting to read about a year into Riley and Jack's life, and I wasn't disappointed. I got to see how far they have developed as a couple. I loved how comfortable Riley was with sharing a bed with Jack and having sex. I loved how Riley and Jack handled the news of Halley, the daughter Riley didn't know he had. Jacks support and love for Riley was unwavering, even if they still got into disagreements. It wouldn't have been real if they hadn't.

The only reason this book got 4 stars and not 5 like the first book was a few inconsistencies from the first book in the series that is one of my favorite books. They dealt with money. I didn't understand why Riley asked the headmaster at the school they were going to enroll Halley in if she would still be able to go if money became a problem. When asked if it would Riley said no, so why'd he ask in the first place? I also didn't understand why there was such a smaller amount of money Riley could access after Halley's trust fund was created. In book 1 Riley was rolling in money. Even after everyone got their share he should have had more left over to get his hands on or to make the trust fund even bigger. When you read the book you'll understand why I was confused about how much liquid money Riley could access in an emergency. If I got this wrong, fellow readers or RJ please let me know.

As a side note, still concerning money, as close as Jack and Riley became within a year, couldn't Jack have accepted using some of Riley's money to fis up the house and farm? I was annoyed for some weird reason that the damn driveway still had potholes. Crazy I know, but that's how into their story I am. So next book, please pave the driveway and upgrade the farm and house. Sure the kitchen table has memories, but you can replace it with one that's not scratched. Or let Jack start making more money with his horse breeding. Not that Jack needed to use the money in the manner that he wanted to concerning his mom.

Let me get back on track. I enjoyed this book a great deal and highly recommend this book. To RJ Scott, if I am wrong and you don't have at least two more sequels planned, then you need to because there were some issues that weren't resolved in this story. (less)
