Return to Blackcreek Paperback – November 24, 2015

There’s nothing better than a HEA—unless it’s 3 of them back to back.Anything that I felt like might have been missing from the first books was covered in this one. Sometimes, even better than I’d have imagined.Riley Hart did such an incredible job with all of these characters & the story development for each of them. I think Noah & Cooper are still my favorite couple, but it’s an awfully close 3-way tie! And just when I thought I couldn’t love this book more, the epilogue came along & tied everything up in a perfect bow.I’m SO GLAD that I stumbled on this series & author! I’ll definitely be reading a lot more books by her!

Really touching, passionate, no-angst novella to revisit the Blackcreek world. Few problems exist in this book and it is a very happy time for all the MCs from the previous books in the series. Read to see some of the high points in their lives and to see how much better their lives are a few years down the road. Very happy read!

Riley Hart is a really excellent author and story tellerThis is the 4th book in the Blackcreek series. Riley Hart is a really excellent author and story teller! This book was superb like most of her other work! It's a culmination of the past 3 books and the 3 great love stories from them.Although in my view, her character Mason, the bar owner is a self centered dominant jerk, and the love story with Gavin, such as it was, was by far more sex than love. In fact at least a third of the story about their relationship was way too detailed and raw sex. So, I just skipped through all that crap! If I wanted to read porn I'd buy porn books and not read a romance novel!!!And although the author is able to convey detailed sex scenes in the other stories in a way that is more making love than having sex, the detail and frequency of explicit sex detracts somewhat or quite a bit... from the story!Also, I'd like to read about unexpected events in her stories, the ups and downs and tragedies of real life, as opposed to normal coming out to family problems and the boxed happily ever after theme. Though I don't care for stories that do not have happy endings either. All in all her story telling is excellent as is her ability to create well rounded and believable characters that you find yourself unable to put the book down.

Well written story and well developed characters! I loved catching up with all the guys! So much has happened! I laughed and I cried! Loved it!

If you have read each of the Blackcreek books, you may think that if you read each one when it was published, you will have to go back and figure out how Noah and Cooper came together in "Collide" (2013), and how Wes and Braden came together in "Stay" (2014), because you probably have just finished Mason and Gavin's story in "Pretend" (2015), and that's fresh in your mind.That's especially true since this edition contains three novellas, each nine or ten short chapters, and they begin with Wes and Braden, proceed to Mason and Gavin, and end up with Noah and Cooper. That's a potential hazard because each their stories was so rich in detail and complications that you may think you will be lost here.Don't worry. Don't worry at all! Riley Hart tells each new story, which focuses around the Christmas season (it could be in either 2013, 2014, or 2015, but it's the same year for each) in such a way that she includes all the little details you need to remember what went on with each couple, and how they got to this point in their lives.This is a remarkable book, sweeter than a toothache but not painful at all, a wonderful bunch of holiday fluff and serious stuff that wraps up a hugely successful series of men loving men. Go for it!

It’s not really a book so much as it’s three extended epilogues for the first three books in the series. Very quick read...maybe overly steamy and kind of repetitive in that the characters reminisced and repeated things to each other from the first books. I still enjoyed it though because just like with child stars, you always thing where are they now. That’s what this was...a little where are they now and I enjoyed it. Just feel good...no angst!

Thanks you for revisiting the characters of this series with such great follow up! One of my favorite things is stories that intertwine and weave together friends who have become dear through other books, this was wonderful and sincerely a great way to catch up with each couple’s unique but connected relationship in this charming town!Highly recommended!

This is a hard review for me because I loooooooooove Riley Hart and two of her books (Collide and Stay) are in my top 5 fav romances of all time. Having said that, I was underwhelmed by this follow-up. I was so excited when I saw it on kindle, I bought it right away because these are my favourite boys. I am happy for the endings that all the couples got but in terms of the storytelling, I am disappointed. The first couple's (Braden and Wes) follow-up was told the best of the three. The other two were sooooooo anticlimactic. I mean, why did you have to do that with Mase and Gavin's proposal Riley? It had the potential to be sweet and romantic but instead we get that? And don't even get me started on Coop and Noah. My absolute favourite book couple ever! Who plans a surprise wedding and then warns their boyfriend about it? huh? it was sooooo anticlimactic. I could have forgiven this if the wedding was a sugary sweet proclamation of love but nooooooo. Instead, the wedding happens off-page and we are told about it in a rush. I was sooooo disappointed. Considering that we know these characters already, I didn't think that so many sex scenes were necessary and they could have been toned down a bit. A little less raw. I don't know what you in terms of a recommendation. It wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either just meh. Sorry Riley.

This book just puts the giant cherry on top of the delicious amazing cake!Love the Braden and Wes catch up. Those two got serious here and i loved all the sappy feels 🥰Gav and Mason as usual busy and horny lol but so great for them. I felt such joy when Gav's mom finally accepted him!Then my Noah and Coop. God i love them so much! Ugly Christmas jumpers for the Win! Just absolutely perfect!The epilogue made me shed happy tears!After reading this series again for god knows how many times. I want more! I need more! How are they doing now? Any more kids? Whats going on? And for some bizzare reason i want a story for Billy! The kid Coop rescued! He could be a fireman like coop! Please Riley if you read this i'd die if we could return to Black Creek!Amazing series! You'd be nuts not to read!

2.5-3 starsBraden and WesI absolutely adored Stay and was so excited to read this but unfortunately I was disappointedI found it over saccharine and not quite the same Braden and Wes that I remember.Gavin and MasonPretend was my least favourite of the books and this novella did nothing to change my opinion.The dreaded 'music man' was back in full force...For me this was a completely predictable plot padded out with sex scenes.Cooper and NoahI adore these two but this just didn't do it for me. It's just a whole lot of sex and not much else.The epilogue was the most enjoyable part of this book for me, it was cute.Overall I just wasn't feeling it, there was an awful lot of telling and not much showing. I don't very often complain about too much sex but there was precious little else BUT sex in this book and I wanted more story. My overriding emotion is one of disappointment.

I really loved this story, it was great to catch up with the three couples Mason and Gavin, Noah and Cooper and finally Braeden and Wes. As the holiday season approached each couple got there own story as well as making brief appearances in each others and although I really enjoyed all three, my favourite had to be Wes and Braeden's and I would certainly recommend this book to any fan of the original Blackcreek series as you really won't be disappointed.

What a load of drivel. 43% and all I've read is sex scenes. It's rare I don't finish a book, even if it's bad. If you're out of ideas stop writing, don't pass this crud off to paying customers.
