A review by rellimreads
The Agent and the Model by RJ Scott

3.0

This is set about 6 years after the last book - The Barman and the SEAL. While Mikey-now-Michael was featured as a townie briefly mentioned in previous books, I’d definitely recommend reading book 5, The Paramedic & the Writer as events in that book heavily featured Mikey and set a foundation for this one.

The beginning was clunky to me and despite being excited for Michael finding love and success after all his trauma - It took me a while to get into this one. Alex is weirdly stalkerish, and while the reasoning behind his behavior is kind of explained, it made him pretty unlikeable as a character. They did finally smooth out their issues, but it felt like very little & an overly quick resolution. More of an HFN than feeling like these two were solid.

I don’t know why but Scott has used the name Zach for a secondary character in four of these books now. It gets confusing because none of them are the same person.

I did like the slight glimpse into the lives of the guys from previous books and how they’re doing.
