Review: I wish I lived on Ellery Mountain...
Rating: 4 out of 5

Book five in RJ Scott's Ellery Mountain series involves the red-haired Jamie Llewellyn (sigh, red hair) and a mysterious John Doe clutching a gun who he rescues from a wrecked car.I still have to giggle over the fact that RJ Scott, a very good British author, chose to place her gay romantic Disneyland in the rural mountains of one of the more anti-gay places in the United States.  But never mind, Ellery is impossible anyway because all of its young men are gay and good and beautiful and just too easy to fall in love with.  Sometimes a little hard to keep separated one from the other in my increasingly aged head.But Scott knows what she's doing, and by the time romance hits (and she's never trite or simpleminded about getting there) the reader is as ready as the protagonists.  Jamie is a particularly appealing character, and the ongoing backstory about Ellery and its gay boys and their good work in the community creates a solid foundation on which he spins his own tale of love on the mountain.Each of these stories stands alone, but it is nice to know who everybody else is - people wander across the stage, but you only get some reminders, not a lot of replay (and that's just fine).  So read them all. Take a couple days off and just wallow in the love. Really.
