Title: Montana Sky
Author: RJ Scott
Series: Montana #6
Genre: M/M Romance
Release Date: April 24, 2019
Cover Design: Meredith Russell
When they spend time alone on a Montana mountainside will Tyler ever convince Martin that like sapphires, love is worth searching for?
Martin’s name was the very last on a kill list. The son of a murderer, he’s had no childhood; lost in a horrific holding pattern of death that turned his heart to stone. Thanks to the man who called him brave and spared his life, he no longer has to look over his shoulder, but he does have one question. Why did Justin let him live?
Tyler Colby has identified a major flaw in the seismic mapping system used to monitor earthquake activity. Sent to Crooked Tree by his employer, the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, he is tasked with adding a new remote station to the network. The installation should be his entire focus, but the lure of sapphires and his attraction to a heartbroken young man called Martin is enough to make him want more.
When I heard that RJ Scott was returning us to Crooked Tree Ranch and that Montana Sky would be the final book in the Montana series, I was both overjoyed and saddened. One never wants to see something you enjoy end but it also can't go on forever, though one can hope maybe the ranch will have another story to tell down the road😉😉.
Martin is a man who is lost but needs an answer and he can only find it at Crooked Tree Ranch. Tyler is a man trying to help detecting seismic activity and employed to set up a new station on Crooked Tree Ranch property. When their paths cross it seems not only is there attraction but they also are able to help the other. Now, Tyler does not hold the answer Martin is seeking but he does offer him a chance to stick around till the answer is given. I wanted to wrap Martin in a massive bear hug and tell him no matter what the answer is, he is a good man and was just as much a victim as Justin and Adam were. However, some times we can't be told, we have to experience the answers to full understand and even appreciate what our path holds. As for Tyler, perhaps he isn't seeking answers as Martin is but something is missing from his life and the ranch, more specifically Martin, might be just what he needs to find that missing link.
I won't say more about the plot of the story because as Martin and Tyler need to experience the ranch to understand what's missing, the reader needs to experience their journey to appreciate the joy of Montana Sky. I will say that if this really truly is the end of the series than it is the perfect way to bring it together. I'd say things are all "wrapped up" but with a series like Montana you can never really write "the end" so who knows, maybe the ranch will have another story to tell down the road. Either way, this won't be the last time I visit Crooked Tree Ranch.
I never lived or visited a ranch but I did grow up on a farm and the land really does have a way of not only healing but also giving one perspective on what truly is important in life and the author really has a grasp on helping the reader understand that. RJ Scott has a way that doesn't just tell us a story, she shows us so that you feel like you are riding, or in this case sitting in the tent next to the characters. You may not run into people like this every day but you want to, you want to know them. True storytelling at its finest. If you have yet to experience the difference between writer and storyteller then give Montana and RJ Scott a read because you will surely see the line between the two afterwards.
If you are already a fan and reader of Montana then what are you doing reading my review, you should be checking out Martin and Tyler's journey already. If this is an unfamiliar series for you, then now is the perfect time to start. For those who are just starting, this is a series that needs to read in order even though each entry has a different pairing for the central story, there is an ongoing connection that won't make sense if you start in the middle.
