Treasure of Love

I was a little worried when I started reading this book, knowing the story was about Jack who was pretty much an asshole in the first book. I definitely didn't like Jack' character in Wings of Love so had no idea what to expect here.
I needn't have worried. The Jackson in this book seems a completely different characters to the character we were first introduced too. Some time has passed and Jackson has definitely mellowed in his attitude and there are no signs of his previous intolerance. \"Jack had had a hard time dealing with Mac's sudden change in lifestyle, but eventually he'd come to accept it, and if he was honest with himself, was a little envious of their loving relationship.\" In fact its rather fun to see Jack get teased as he clearly develops feelings for Dax.
It was nice to get an update on Mac and Brad, to see where their relationship was taking them, and to have them play a role in this story.
It's quite an interesting tale with some mystery and intrigue as Jack's boat is hired for a trip to find treasure. While he and Dax are falling for each other and Jack is dealing with his sexuality, they have to find the treasure and ward off the bad guys.
There is some similarity with the first book - similar lines and a shared gradual romance. In both books, one character is only just realising they are gay and the other isn't prepared to have a relationship unless they are fully acknowledged by the other.
Once again, the love is pretty instant and the sex is pretty amazing between the men with 'blinding flashes of light' and 'angels singing' - lucky Jack and Dax! There is fun, there is humour and there is some drama which all-in-all made for a enjoyable story.

This is a feel good read, second in a series so we do meet some of the other characters, though it does standalone as a read.
I enjoyed this read, not having read any of the authors books before. Some suspension of reality is required - it all happens very fast, from tough straight sea captain to taking the lead with another guy, but it worked for me. Despite having baddies, there wasn't much angst - and the underwater scenes did recall Bond films to mind, so it was quite easy to visualise what was going on under the water.
I enjoyed the Mac and Brad support characters, they were fun and their teasing of Jack was good!
Ideal for a cosy night in with a glass of wine, when you want to feel happy after your read!

Brilliant Book! Absolutely loved it and it made me go read the first one in the series too.

I have Read all of Scotty's books and this one is the best yet. It is a love story combined with a little adventure and suspense thrown in. It is very well written, as all of Scotty's books are, there is only one problem, I read too fast. This is nothing against any author, it is my problem, because I am like this with all the books I read, not just this one. I am very much looking forward to more from this author. Keep up the excellent work Scotty.

Please make sure you start this book on a weekend!! I finished it at 2:30 am - could not put it down. Love the romance and the suspense!! Scotty Cade has done it again.
