A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review An Alisa Review:

Rating: 4 stars out of 5

This was another nice story in the series, at first I wasn’t sure if it would be connected to be previous characters but I’m glad we get back to the auto shop and get to see Trevor, James, Brent and Scott again. Duncan has been in a cloud of self-pity ever since his accident, which is understandable when you lose something so big in your life. Todd helps him to break out of that cloud but they end up helping each other too.

Duncan doesn’t know what to do about this sudden attraction to Todd but doesn’t want to hold him back or be a burden either. Todd wants to show Duncan how special he really is and it doesn’t matter how broken he thinks he is. I hated that all the outside problems that they had were from someone being petty even if they seemed to pretty easily resolve the issue.

I liked seeing both of the characters’ points of view which helped to understand and connect more with them. Duncan requires a bit of patience to get through to him but once he found his happiness he wanted to hold onto it with both hands. Todd stands by and refuses to let Duncan try and push him away since he knows it’s all doubts in Duncan’s head. We hear a little bit about Dean still being around, so maybe he will come up in a future story but I would also love to see Clive find someone too.

Cover art by LC Chase is great and I love the visuals of the characters, I continue to love the style of the covers for this series.
