S.E.X. Review~ Pride by RJ Scott

A blazing connection between single dads from opposite sides of the tracks is fraught with secrets and lies, and a happily ever after is impossible, unless they take a chance on love.


Saved a long time ago by a man who saw a diamond in the rough, Logan is a single dad and the owner of Redcars Automotive, a haven for those in need. With custody of his daughter under scrutiny, his life is upended when a journalist looking for a story slips into his life without him realizing. Logan doesn’t want Gray more than once, but when sharing the secrets of his past won’t get the journalist to leave, what else can he do?

After blaming himself for missing signs that his son was ill, Gray feels Ben is safer with his ex-wife and her new pediatrician husband. With a heart heavy with guilt, and his documentary company failing to find a story, he’s searching for some spark in his life to fix everything. When a series of arson attempts draws him to Los Angeles, he meets the secretive, scarred, and tattooed Logan, who makes him an offer that Gray knows he should refuse.

This opposites-attract love story features two single dads reaching a crossroads in life, angst, secrets, arson, intimidation, and a found family so tightly connected that nothing can break it apart.

Pride, Single Dad by RJ Scott was probably my favorite to date. I know I say that often when reading an RJ Scott story, but Pride had a different feel than the other Single Dads books. Logan was raising his daughter, attempting to keep his head above water and save the area he lived in. Gray, a man who loved his job and son, wanted to help Logan and friends in order to save the place he called home.

The connection between the two men was apparent from the start, but the relationship simmered through distance and stubbornness. Tension, mistrust and loneliness made for a nasty cocktail until the men finally gave in to their desires and realized that together they could battle anything life through at them and come out better on the other end.

Both men were sexy and appealing, seasoned and with life experience. More refreshing than reading the typical twenty-0somethings that think they know everything yet haven’t lived life.

I fell hard for these characters and enjoyed every scene Ms. Scott created between the two. Their synergy palpated throughout and never let up.

Definite S.E.X.
