S.E.X. Review~ Desert Dreams by Scott & Locey

When danger stalks their new home, it’s only their strength as a couple that keeps them safe.

Ryker misses Jacob every day he’s away. At the start of a new Raptors season with everything to play for, Jacob, the desert ranch, and their small menagerie of animals have become an oasis of peace in a turbulent world. He’s never ridden a horse, he’s never considered how much this place would mean to him, but suddenly he’s forming a connection with a mare called Tops and loving every moment of this new life. Balancing hockey with his love for Jacob, he feels that nothing can ever go wrong.

With his life finally on track, Jacob is pouring all of himself into the dream he shares with Ryker. Putting the final touches on Mountain Vista Ranch, a halfway home for troubled LGBTQ youth and their families, fills his heart with pride. When their first clients arrive, he finds himself drawn to the small family and their plight. Little does he or Ryker know that the darkness the newcomers have fled from is following them.

Desert Dreams by authors Scott & Locey, part of the Owatonna U series was a feel good yet emotional story. Jacob and Ryker opened Mountain Vista Ranch, a place for LGBT youth and families to seek solace and transition to a better life. Fashioned much after Legacy Ranch, this place would house therapy animals, counseling, and a fresh start for its interim residence.

I loved the dynamics between Ryker and Jacob. You could really tell they have matured as men and characterization. Their growth enhanced the story and propelled it forward. No longer were they the young rookie and college student; they now were professionals in the hockey world and a business ranch- looking for their little piece of heaven.

Ms. Scott and Ms. Locey never fail to create dynamic characters and with each subsequent book; they took them and allowed them to flourish. The secondary characters were also wonderful. They added appeal and drama, fun and exuberance.

Desert Dreams should not be missed as a standalone, but definitely as part of a captivating series.

Definite S.E.X.
