Federal Agent Lucas Beaumont has an agenda — get himself assigned to the case of the apparent serial murders at Lancaster Falls, find out who the murderer is, and then lay the ghosts that haunt his grandfather to rest. In the midst of a horrific murder investigation, the only peace he gets is from simple moments in a warm kitchen, talking to hotel owner, Josh. Attraction to the easygoing man is something he didn’t expect; in doing so, he opens himself to hurt, but at the same time, he begins to fall in love.

Josh is struggling to keep the Falls Hotel, even with every cent he has invested in its upkeep. The one thing keeping him above water is the not entirely legal work he does on the side—a steady income that not even his son knows about. When the FBI takes over his hotel for the duration of the Hell’s Gate serial killer case, Josh is faced with the real possibility that Lucas will not only discover his secret but also steal his heart.

When tragedy hits Josh and his son, and when it seems all hope is lost, can Lucas rescue them both?

All That Remains the final book in RJ Scott’s Lancaster Falls trilogy was everything I hoped for in this romance suspense book. Overall, what I most loved about the trilogy and ATR was the mystery, suspense, and who dun it. Yes, the romance was lovely and heartfelt, but the mystery to be solved did it for this reader.

Josh was part of the crew from the first two books, and I was so glad he got his own story. He was an integral part of the storyline from the start and no spoiler alerts, but I never expected just how integral.

Lucas, an FBI agent assigned to the Hell’s Gate case commandeered the hotel which Josh ran and the chemistry between the two men was palpable. The slow build up of their relationship gave credence to the sensitivity of the many topics brought forth in the story. Bones in a reservoir, murder-suicide, murder, leads that took LE on a cat and mouse run, so many things added to the appeal. All the while, Josh and Lucas found each other and held on tight.

Ms. Scott did what many writers are not able to do. She wrote a book more about the characters and their relationships sans a sex scene every other page. The book was a journey of a small town, the secrets and lies that surround it, and the people who inhabited it. She never wavered in utilizing all the components from the first two books as the storyline was a continuation, so even though each book revolved around a specific couple, all characters were integral throughout. Truly a testament to her organizational skills as well as her writing ability.

This reader found ATR intriguing and captivating, and my only drawback was the story ended and I wished it could be longer. As a fan of murder-mystery in the likes of David Baldacci and Dan Brown, Ms. Scott found a new niche.

S.E.X. Review~ What Lies Beneath by R.J. Scott




Length: 67,000 words approx.

Cover Design: Meredith Russell

In the hottest summer on record, Iron Lake reservoir is emptying, revealing secrets that were intended to stay hidden beneath the water. The tragic story of a missing man is a media sensation, and abruptly the writer and the cop falling in love is just a postscript to horrors neither could have imagined.

Best Selling Horror writer Chris Lassiter struggles for inspiration and he’s close to never writing again. His life has become an endless loop of nothing but empty pages, personal appearances, and a marketing machine that is systematically destroying his muse. In a desperate attempt to force Chris to complete unfinished manuscripts his agent buys a remote cabin. All Chris has to do is hide away and write, but he’s lost his muse, and not even he can make stories appear from thin air.

Sawyer Wiseman left town for Chicago, chasing the excitement and potential of being a big city cop, rising the ranks, and making his mark. A case gone horribly wrong draws him back to Lancaster Falls. Working for the tiny police department in the town he’d been running from, digging into cold cases and police corruption, he spends his day's healing, and his nights hoping the nightmares of his last case leave him alone.

What Lies Beneath, Lancaster Falls by R.J. Scott was a great mystery- fast paced, and totally intriguing. Not your typical M/M romance book, What Lies Beneath was first and foremost a mystery book and the first in the Lancaster Falls trilogy;  and two of the main characters happened to be gay. A refreshing change to an M/M characterization, Ms. Scott kept this reader captivated from the first chapter.

Chris needed a new perspective in order to write his next best seller, which his agent thought Iron Lake reservoir would be the perfect place to get his creative juices flowing. Sawyer, Lancaster Falls resident police officer had baggage in his psyche, but once he allowed Chris to wiggle into his life, the two men hit it off on a personal level.

The mystery behind the bones/bodies which suddenly turned up in the dry bed of the lake kept me hooked. Every time I thought I figured something out, a new twist developed and I was once again left scratching my head. Ms. Scott’s venture into this new and exciting genre of mystery and conspiracy was well developed and well-articulated. I loved it!

The secondary characters added to the suspense and drama, leaving us with more questions than answers, but with the hope that all will be answered by the end of the third book.

Skeletal remains, corrupt small town government, missing persons and two sexy men- and did I mentions there’s a dog?

Ms. Scott, you have transported me to the small town of Lancaster Falls, and I will not leave the area until the mystery is solved.
