St. Nacho's has a way of wrapping itself around you. I only stopped here for a burger, and that was forty years ago.
St. Nacho's seems to be a lot like Hotel California. Or, maybe Shelob's lair. Without the spiders.
Jacob find's himself, rather unexpectedly, in St. Nacho's, when he is on his way to see his brother after a spectacularly bad day. There, he meets JT, who is an EMT that saves his life.
JT is pretty awesome, except that he is having some closet issues. He doesn't treat Jacob all that great for a while and even through that, Jacob can't say no to him. It's kind of sad to watch, really. He is having such a hard time with his sexuality.
JT does finally figure out that he has to put up or shut up, thankfully, but Daniel kind of wanted to kick his ass for treating his brother Jacob like a dirty little secret. Sometimes brothers can be awesome.
This is a pretty good series. I'd like to see more past [b:The Book of Daniel].

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do when I finish this series. I really love the way ZA rights these characters. They're everything I love and they make me sail through her books. I'm so glad to see Daniel has his own book. Bc I can NOT wait for the CAMSHAFT. Cam is so endearing. Even with his overt sexuality. Siiiiiigh.
Well this one certainly started with a bang lol.
So far I liked this one best. Still not feeling much in the way of chemistry or romance. For some reason I start to want to read more of the other characters. In book 1 I wanted more of Jordan and in book 3 I wanted more of Cam lol. Wonder who I'll want to learn more of in book 4?
A steady 3 star rating so far. A good story but nothing that really grabs me.

Another enjoyable read in the St. Nacho's series.
JT isn't a very likeable person because of his uncertainties dealing with the strength of his desire for Jacob and the inevitable clash with his religious beliefs. I liked how he was portrayed. I felt his conflict and I understood why he kept jerking Jacob around. I didn't like it, but I understood.
Jacob has problems of his own, including his denial that he needed support after his relationship with an abusive boyfriend ended. Watching him get hurt emotionally by JT was painful to watch. I'm glad that JT didn't turn out to be another kind of abusive asshole, but he so easily could have been and I would have been really sad for Jacob.
It's good that Jacob had good St. Nacho friends supporting him. One of the pleasures of this series are the people of this town. They're so kooky and warm.

Jacob's Ladder is my favorite of the series so far. The writing style and the feel of Jacobs POV seems similar to Cooper's from book one, and very familiar.
Something about Jacob really drew me in. The way he described his feelings about religion as being about his family. How he and his older brother are all the family they each have and how close they've always been. He's an MC that I could really fall in love with. J.T. has his own qualities that make him easy to empathize with and to like. His struggle with accepting that he's gay when his religious beliefs tell him it's wrong is a very powerful one and the author does it justice.
The introduction of Daniel, Jacob’s brother, and Cameron, a firefighter, sets the scene for the next book. But does it in a way that makes you really want to get to know those two guys even more.
So, yeah, this one’s a favorite. Well worth reading.

This is one of those stories where I really liked the characters whose head I'm in, i.e. Jacob's, but the insta-love and the nature of JT's own reluctance to admit to his nature as a gay man made accepting the pace of this story a little hard. I liked how sweet he was with Jacob and how drawn to his "Yasha" he was, but the continued dates with women and how reluctant he was to admit to his true feelings made the ending especially feel more temporary than HEA. I did love the way that Jacob's relationship with his brother develops in the story as well. Daniel clearly does care for his brother and the abuse Jacob dealt with gave them an excuse to find their way back to each other.
I liked this story, just didn't love it. Still ultimately I've enjoyed this series well enough to want to re-read it and I'm not regretting that decision at all. I know I'll enjoying finishing the series up again with Daniel's story.

The narration was on point, but the story was way lacking. I found ZERO likeability in JT. The way he kept coming and going. I hated it for Jacob. HATED IT. I almost stopped many times and just DNF but since I was working and I just kept listening.
Now Dan I loved. Cam I loved. I know I'll love their story. I love how they both fought for Jacob's heart.

I didn't love this one as much as I did the earlier books in the series, I wasn't a fan of JT. He made me really angry. And I just wanted more from it.
Really enjoying this series, even though this one is quite separate to the last two, it still has that St Nachos feel to it. Yasha and JT, just yum!
