Snow in Montana (Montana #4) in RJ Scott

This fourth book in the ‘Montana’ series has the many characters of the Crooked Tree Ranch come full circle, and that was a great thing for me to witness. While a lot of the emotional drama and the suspense about what happened to Justin and Adam was resolved in the previous volume, there were a few details that needed sorting out. Adam’s memories and his relationship with Justin are the most important, and I was happy to find out that both men, as well as Adam’s lover, Ethan, and Justin’s lover, ...more

I really liked this book as a continuation of the Montana series. Not only do we get a book that gives us two new main characters—Sheriff Ryan and Jordan, the actor who is on set at Crooked Bend to make a Christmas movie—but we also get more follow up and resolution from Adam and Justin and the storyline of the first few books in this series as well. All of the characters from the previous books are seen in this one, so it really shouldn’t be read as a standalone. But I was, as always, ...more

I love this series so much!

Snow in Montana is the fourth book in the Montana series. It is such a great book but I do think you need to read the first three books in the series to really appreciate this one fully.

The story is primarily about Sheriff Ryan Carter and actor Jordan Derby, but it also contains a lot of scenes about couples who were the MCs (main characters) in the previous books. In particular there’s a lot of information about best friends Adam (book 2) and Justin (book 3).

Jordan is I love this series so much!

Snow in Montana is the fourth book in the Montana series. It is such a great book but I do think you need to read the first three books in the series to really appreciate this one fully.

The story is primarily about Sheriff Ryan Carter and actor Jordan Derby, but it also contains a lot of scenes about couples who were the MCs (main characters) in the previous books. In particular there’s a lot of information about best friends Adam (book 2) and Justin (book 3).

Jordan is known as the King of Christmas. He’s a B-list actor who has starred as the leading man in eight, made-for-TV Christmas movies; he is also gay and pretty deep in the closet. He feels that Hollywood will no longer accept him as a romantic lead if he reveals that he is gay.

Ryan is hired to consult on a film that Jordan’s company is filming on location at Crooked Tree Ranch. He’s gay and out but has never really had the kind of romantic relationship that he longs for. He feels a pull towards Jordan and when he realizes that Jordan is gay that pull becomes even stronger.

This story had a lot of things going on in it. I have absolutely loved all of the books in this series, including this one, but I would have to say that there were so many different things happening, involving so many different characters, that I did have just a bit of trouble keeping track at times. I suspect that part of the reason is that it had been a few months since I’d read the last book [note: I usually read about 5 books per week and even when I love a book it is usually a little difficult for me to remember all of the details a few months later.] and I also have to admit to being sleep deprived when I read this one.

It’s a testament to RJ’s writing that her books have the ability to keep me engrossed in the story, invested in the characters and stay up all night reading. She always manages to invoke all of my emotions. In this story I really felt for Jordan because he wanted to be out and openly gay but he was afraid of the consequences not only to his career but also to the lively hoods of other people who depended on him and his company for their jobs.

The secondary storyline of Adam and his difficulty coming to terms with the things that happened to him, and his best friend’s involvement, was also the cause of more than a few tears shed.

This book seemed like it was a wrap up for the series (I don’t know if more are planned or not); there was a nice epilogue where we get additional information about Jordan and Ryan and also about best friends Adam and Justin.

If you’ve read the other Montana books you will absolutely not want to miss this one. If you haven’t read the others I highly recommend them as they are very compelling reads with interesting and complicated characters.

I knew this book would fill in from the previous stories, by giving us more background information. I knew I would love the story between Ryan and Jordan. I knew I would meet more characters that I would totally fall in love with. This was as I expected, coming from Rj. What I am hoping is that it never ends, even though if I am being realistic, I know isn't possible but a girl can hope...right?
I highly recommend this story...the entire Crooked Tree series actually. So give yourselv ...more

4.5 stars - I love this series, R.J Scott has become one of my favorite authors and this book was no exception. I would recommend that you read the first 3 book in the series, so you fully understand all the storylines.

Sheriff Ryan Carter comes in to consult and help with security issues at Crooked Tree Ranch when a movie is being filmed there. What he doesn't expect is to enjoy the company of the leading man, Jordan Darby.

We were introduced to Ryan earlier. I have a feeling that he gave Justin a lot of leeway considering his duty and the issues that Justin brought to the ranch. I liked Ryan a lot in this book. He's straightforward and levelheaded. I loved getting to know his family more in this boo ...more

I have loved every book in this series. This one answered a lot of questions, While giving Sherriff Ryan his own love story. Jordan and Ryan just fit together. A wonderful series.
