Rutledge is the third book of the Mayfair Models Trilogy. I wish these books were more visible because they truly are a delight.

In this installment, Rutledge is an American living in London after winning a reality show modeling contest. When he becomes the victim of a late night attack, a Good Samaritan comes to his rescue.

Ollie is a hoot. He’s sassy, sweet, and an incredibly talented dancer. I also adore his best friend, Juliette, who is a wonderful side character. She and Ollie play off each other perfectly.

Rutledge and Ollie finally get together, but there’s a bit of obstacles and twists and turns before they do.

We get to meet up with the whole crew—Marshall, Stuart, Carter, and Hamilton—as they take Rutledge under their wing, as well as some new unforgettable characters.

I loved everything about this book: it’s well-written with an engaging storyline, lovable main characters, and a wonderful supporting cast. Claire Castle did a great job with this one and I’m truly going to miss these guys.

Claire Castle has taken two strong, independent characters and made them absolutely perfect for each other. I couldn't help falling for dancer Ollie, as he was so dominant and outgoing and brave, yet so femme at the same time. I could perfectly picture him in every situation.

Rutledge was kind and caring and on the cusp of his career. The dramatic meeting that took place snowballed the relationship and both men ended up having to make a choice.

Claire Castle writes a very deep, emotional story that fills your heart!

Another wonderful book in this series! It was a sweet love story with no angst, unlike the last one, which hurt to read at times even though I loved it. Rutledge and Ollie were adorable together, although I didn’t like Ollie too much at first, but then he fell for Rutledge and I fell for him. It was nice to see the previous books mc’s again, what made me really happy was how much Marshall and Stuart were in this, they are still my favourites, just love them. Thanks to the author for giving us such enjoyable stories.
I came back to correct a slight error, when I said I didn't like Ollie at first that's not quite correct. When we first met him he was a proper gentleman and helped injured Rutledge. It was soon after that, when he and Rutledge met again, that was when I wasn't too impressed with him.

Rutledge is book 3 in the Mayfair Model series. I really enjoyed this beautifully written book about Rutledge and Ollie. What started out as a tragedy turned into something sweet and so much more for both of these amazing characters. Rutledge had won a modeling completion and was in the UK when he got beat up one night after walking home from a club. Ollie, a dancer, happened to see him and took care of him. After finding Rutledge's phone and called the last number dialed, Ollie got Rutledge back into the care of his friends. I love the story that follows. Rutledge has a need to find the Good Samaritan that saved him. I love Rutledge and Ollie together. I love the way they took care of each other, they both needed the other. I'm glad they got their happy ending.
I recommend this wonderful book and series, it's definitely one to enjoy again and again.

Rutledge and Ollie are opposites but exactly what each other needs. Ollie is so outgoing, self-confident and fabulous dancer, and Rutledge, an up-and-coming model, is more reserved. A chance meeting between the two sees Ollie come to the Rutledge's rescue. And from there, they have a few obstacles to overcome as they slowly work their way towards a satisfying HEA. I also loved seeing the whole Mayfair Model crew again, and it is sweet how they embrace Rutledge. This is another fun story with lovable characters, both the MCs and the supporting cast. Love this series!

A great addition to this series... Rutledge is starting to make his mark in the modeling industry.
Ollie is making a name for him in the dance world. a chance meeting in an alley as Ollie saves Rutledge from a beating turns into something more! Can they make it work!! I really loved these two.

And I hope Ollie's brother Jasper gets a story... gasp rock star.. :)

More of this series for Mayfair Modelling based in the UK. This story is Rutledge an American contest winner, using his prize of a UK modelling contract and Ollie a dancer based in the UK. After a rough start and mistaken identity these two get together as friends with benefits. It slowly forms a relationship. Very rushed at the end.
