Desert Dreams (Owatonna U Hockey #6) by R.J. Scott & V.L. Locey

 








When danger stalks their new home, it’s only their strength as a couple that keeps them safe.

Ryker misses Jacob every day he’s away. At the start of a new Raptors season with everything to play for, Jacob, the desert ranch, and their small menagerie of animals have become an oasis of peace in a turbulent world. He’s never ridden a horse, he’s never considered how much this place would mean to him, but suddenly he’s forming a connection with a mare called Tops and loving every moment of this new life. Balancing hockey with his love for Jacob, he feels that nothing can ever go wrong.

With his life finally on track, Jacob is pouring all of himself into the dream he shares with Ryker. Putting the final touches on Mountain Vista Ranch, a halfway home for troubled LGBTQ youth and their families, fills his heart with pride. When their first clients arrive, he finds himself drawn to the small family and their plight. Little does he or Ryker know that the darkness the newcomers have fled from is following them.





My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Desert Dreams is a break from the normal world of the Owatonna U Hockey series. This edition in the series by RJ Scott and VL Locey follows Ryker and Jacob on their latest adventures.

They've opened a retreat for LGBTQ families and it's a wonderful concept for sure. And what a surprise as it starts with Jack Campbell-Hayes making an appearance! That was a total SQUEE moment, as it will be for any long time fans of RJ Scott. Seriously, I was dying seeing Jack again!

This story follows the lovable Ryker and Jacob, allowing us to follow their lives and gifts us with plenty of appearances/mentions of former characters. I just adore everything about the hockey world of these two authors. 

Of course, this story shows the adjustments Ryker has to make to ranch life as he's also dealing with team issues. Overall, there's a lot going on in this tale; some good, some bad. But, as usual, it's a great ending. 

Desert Dreams is a wonderful, heart-warming addition to this series. This author combo continues to bring these characters and their stories to live in the most lovable ways.
