Book Blurb

Sometimes Riley and Jack have to be the ones to fight other people's battles and stand up for what is right.

With the life changing prospect of a yes vote from SCOTUS on the issue of same sex marriage, Riley and Jack realise they have decisions to make. Add in some distressing family news and the very real possibility that old secrets may resurface, and this last book in the Texas series pulls together as many threads as the boys can manage to handle.

But through all the ups and the downs, children, family events, laughter, and tears, there is nothing as special as the forever love between these two men.

 

Book Review

This final volume of the Campbell-Hayes saga was as spectacular as the first, but in a very different way. Where Jack and Riley started out as enemies who couldn’t imagine liking each other if they were the two last men on Earth, by the end of this extraordinary seven-book saga neither of them can imagine living without the other. Ever! They have grown into not just amazing lovers who are still so hot together that they need to flee into the famous old barn every now and then, they have also become a true team in life. Tension still exists when they argue or disagree or deal with everything their four children throw at them, but they deal with those problems relying on their underlying love.

At the center of ‘Texas Wedding’ is the 2015 SCOTUS vote on marriage equality in the US, and while Jack and Riley sort of hope for a “yes”, they can’t really see anything changing in Texas – at least not right away. Their decision to make getting married – again – a huge event and part of the still-looming fight about joint adoption rights, is hard-won, but the discussion makes both of them realize that no matter how far they have come, there is still a long, hard road ahead of them and couples like them before true equality in the eyes of the law becomes a reality in every area of life.

It was also great to see the various secondary characters reach significant milestones in their relationships. Eli and Robbie, Liam and Marcus, and Darran and Vaughn all have their own battles to fight and choices to make. Hayley has a heavy blow to deal with, Max makes amazing progress, and the twins are beginning to become more noticeable as they start to walk, talk, and develop their own preferences and ideas. Jack’s and Riley’ siblings and parents appear, and the whole big clan kept me entertained and amused throughout.

If you have followed Jack and Riley’s story from the beginning, you will want to know how they are doing now. If you have not – what are you waiting for? This series is a Texas-sized soap opera, a marvelous adventure, and a very emotionally satisfying love story between two amazing men all at the same time. I loved every single book, and am relieved to hear that RJ is planning more stories set on the Double D in the future. I’ll be there with bells on!
