A MelanieM Review: Hopelessly Devoted (The One That I Want #2) by R.J. Jones

Rating: 3.5 Stars out of 5

Hopelessly Devoted coverOne year on from Paul’s proposal, Jason is living a life he never dreamed of. As he fusses with his tie and readies to walk down the aisle, he reminisces about the previous twelve months. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the happy couple in the lead up to their wedding, with obstacles big and small thrown in their way.

Marrying one of New York’s most eligible bachelors has Jason’s stomach in knots. Expectations of their society wedding are high, but out of love for Paul, Jason goes along with the grand plans because he understands Paul’s family has a reputation to maintain. But Paul has a surprise up his sleeve that just may see Jason getting the wedding of his dreams.

Follow Jason on his journey as he prepares to marry one of the most eligible bachelors in New York and find out just how Dave got his name.

With Hopelessly Devoted, R.J. Jones merrily brings us back into the lives of faithful and true Jason and Paul who meet, romanced and fell forever in love in  The One That I Want (The One That I Want, #1).   With fingers snapping, hips a swaying, and melodies playing everywhere, its time for the boys to get hitched!  And the plans are for them to do it in grand style.  But we all know how that will play out.  From the old romantic comedies to the lovable musicals on stages,  we are right there as R. J. Jones smoothly moves Jason and Paul effortlessly from society’s expectations to love’s surprises in another short story just as charming and heartwarming as the first.

At 38 pages, it goes by even more quickly than the first story, more so because we want to get to the wedding along with Jason and Paul.  The light-hearted writing style, the plot and the characters all add up an appealing duo of romances, wonderful when you want that quick fun love story to read.  Leave the layering, the angst, the darkness to the other stories, and enjoy this for what it is, pure and simply sweet romance.  If that speaks to you, then Hopelessly Devoted and The One That I Want are just the stories for you.

Cover art is just as perfect for this story as the first cover was for it.

A MelanieM Review: The One That I Want (The One That I Want, #1) by R.J. Jones

Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5

The One That I Want coverJason escapes into the magic of a Broadway play every weekend. Musicals always have a happy ending and for a few hours he can believe there’s a happy ending waiting for him, too. When the tall drink of water who works on the top floor of Jason’s building, wants to take him on a date, Jason is surprised. After all, Jason is awkward and skinny, and sees himself as a boring accountant, while Paul is tall, dark, and incredibly hot.

Despite Jason’s reservations, Paul and Jason start dating and attending the shows Jason adores. But if Paul likes musicals as much as Jason, why does he always doze off? Is Paul leading a double life? Does he have a wife tucked away somewhere?

Jason knows Paul is hiding something and when the secrets come out, Jason finds his fantasy comes to life, right there on the stage.

R.J. Jones has written a toe tapping, head swinging little romance in The One That I Want.  At 41 pages, its a quick and happy musical that exists in a Kindle instead of on stage.  You  can almost hear the singing and dancing as the pages go by and Jason and Paul resolve their miscommunications and work through their issues to become the couple you know they are meant to be.

The story is light-hearted, pretty much angst free and like the kiss that seals the romance and their love, this story rolls out happily, quickly and in a manner that will remind you of the best of the old romantic comedy musical.  Don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming along by the end of the story.  Luckily, this is to be followed by another short story, Hopelessly Devoted (The One That I Want, #2).  Read them together for a throughly delightful afternoon!
