About the author

R. Scarlett

13 books3,009 followers
R. Scarlett lives in a small quaint town in Southern Ontario, Canada and has an unhealthy obsession with mythology and romance.

From studying English literature and minoring in History, she loves losing herself in a good book and snuggling up to her Brittany Spaniel.

When she's not writing or plotting a delicious novel, she can be found hanging out with friends and family, going on long car rides, exploring small towns, or watching reruns of Sex and the City.

ETA : R Scarlett posted the following message on her facebook group.



Also, to everyone in this comment section : YOU ARE THE REAL MVP.
You're the reason why I will always be proud to belong to this community, and if I cried reading all of your beautiful comments, it's only 7% due to my hormones.

Review

Rebecca Scarlett, if you happen to see this, I would like you to know that the book community is incredibly sorry for what happened to you, and no doubt to countless other authors.

We're sorry for the lies, the rumors, the bullying, the attacks.
We're sorry you had to go through it alone.
We're sorry we never knew or suspected.
We're sorry the community that was supposed to be empowering and uplifting women didn't stand up for you.
We're sorry you've been bullied into leaving your passion, your art, your craft, your career, and maybe even your livelihood.
We're sorry it took countless people to speak up for us to open our eyes and see.
Most of all, we're sorry we failed you.

This also goes to :
- Saffron A. Kent, Ella Fields, and every other author who suffered in silence, afraid to be labeled "drama queen"
- every person who got attacked, alienated and ostracized for voicing their honest opinion
- every person manipulated and scared to stand up to a bigger name

And to Willow Winters, thank you.

Despite the ugliness and the toxicity, we refuse to give up on the community that brought us all together.
Authors bring to life the characters we love and fangirl over.
Bloggers/bookstagrammers spend countless hours editing, promoting-for free-, and putting all of their energy into it.
Readers/reviewers spend their time and energy screaming about all the reasons you should read this book or that.

We're all on the same side.
The real enemies are the ones who call us "mommy porn readers", and fuck them. We get enough shit from book snobs, we don't need it from the inside.

To everyone who spoke up, we see you. We believe you. We stand by you.
To those who are still afraid, we are here for you, whenever you're ready.

And finally, to R Scarlett, if/when you decide to come back, we'll welcome you with wide open arms.

On a lighter note, please feel free to share your favorite (underrated) authors, bookstagrammers/bloggers/booktubers and reviewers in the comment section. Let's show each other some love.

Edit 3: it pains me to say this, but I think I've officially given up hope on this ever getting released. I was sincerely hoping when it was announced she was coming back that we would get an update on things, but we didn't. I know she doesn't owe us any explanation, but I'm just going to assume this book along with her other planned work isn't happening. If it one day does, I would love nothing more.

Edit 2: R. SCARLETT IS BACK - WE FINALLY HAVE CONFIRMATION THIS IS COMING OUT AT THE END OF 2021!!!

Edit: I truly have no idea if this will ever be released at this point, but I very much hope so. I hope the author is doing ok. I read she updates her Pinterest boards pretty frequently, but hasn’t been active on other social media in years.

An update on the book would be nice, but I hope we get an update on how she’s doing more than that

★Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather...
Gabe Easton.
A magnetic, intoxicating personality. A deadly smile paired with looks blessed by the goddess of beauty and a sharp, intelligent mind made him a force to be reckoned with.


description


America's prince? Their future president? A man with determination and anger and a pinch of darkness inside him?
Rich, corrupted and dangerous?
An unpredictable man.
A privileged man.
Sharp and deadly?

I need a released date asap!

Gabe Easton(from 'Filthy Gods (American Gods, #0.5)':
A magnetic, intoxicating personality. A deadly smile paired with looks blessed by the goddess of beauty and a sharp, intelligent mind made him a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention his future was set in stone. His family had raised two former presidents before him.

I was so angry when I found out the truth. I've been worried about Rebecca for so long, I thought she would never come back. And selfishly I still can't believe we never got to read these books because of those pathetic human beings. Fck them all.

But now I'm so happy because SHE IS BACK!!!

they-chanted-my-father-s-name

It's confirmed. This should come out at the end of the year *fingers crossed*

But I'm okay with whatever she decides to share with us. I've been waiting for all her projects, not only this series.

The American Gods:

#1 Gabe Easton
A magnetic, intoxicating personality. A deadly smile paired with looks blessed by the goddess of beauty and a sharp, intelligent mind made him a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention his future was set in stone. His family had raised two former presidents before him.
[...]
Everyone knew in their bones that Gabe Easton would accomplish bigger things than most men. He’d get whatever he wanted and go to whatever length to get it. He’d be elected president of America one day. I knew that by the way he held himself, the way his gaze, sharp and deadly, scanned the crowd of students in our classes. There was determination and anger and a pinch of darkness inside of him.

#2 James Rhodes

The wait for this one is beyond painful.....I need it NOW! Yesterday!? Last week!!?

Since my first read by R Scarlett was Filthy Gods, I just know I’m going to love the rest of these boys! That book was an excellent introduction, and Gabe’s quiet, but strong presence calls to me! I knew I wanted this book the minute I finished the first one. Excited is an understatement. ❤️

"I watched as Gabe ran backward, eyeing the football spiraling in the air. Reaching outward with his long, muscular arm of steel and clay, his hand formed the perfect shape to catch it. His dark wavy hair, thick and shiny from the water and his own sweat, fell in front of his forehead. Like a man sculpted by the gods."

Rich. Corrupt. Dangerous.

"There was something untouchable, something holy and unholy about the boys. Sacred and sinful all at once. Bastards of Grace. Fame, wealth and power poured out of them. They were the things of legends and myths."

Nathan stole my heart in Filthy Gods, but he was ruthlessly stolen away by the feisty Juliette. So I am breathlessly anticipating Gabe’s arrival. I worship at the throne that is The American Gods!

I am so excited for this book. The first one Filthy Gods was nothing short of hot and awesome. This will be 1 clicked as soon as it is released (or preordered if possible so it just appears on my Kindle).

Does anyone know what is happening with this book I have checked all her social media websites and she has not been active on any since like April. I’m honestly questioning if something happened and if she is alive or ill?
