    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Romance with a Twist
    Reviewed in Australia on 24 September 2018
    A beautiful love story with a message and a refreshing change from the usual romance novels. Jude is homeless and in the right place at the right time to help people. He has a secret from his past that only Father James knows who runs the homeless shelter Jude uses when he needs to escape from the elements. Faith is a reporter for the Vindicate newspaper and runs into Jude's help ways one night when she runs out of petrol and he slips her a couple of dollars to get some petrol. Along with a lecture on the dangers of running out of petrol late at night. Faith after running into Jude a few times finds herself falling for him despite the fact he's a homeless person. Faith is also hiding a secret that only Father James knows about one that affects her future.
    One night Jude saves Faith when she gets attacked on the way home and in the process gets injured himself but with no insurance has to go to Father James for help. This night throws Jude and Faith closer together until one night their pasts and secrets come out in the open and everything changes.
    I received a copy (thank you) for an honest review for Naughty Nightie Book Blog. If you love a love story with a difference you'll love this one R.C Boldt nailed it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great characters that have a wonderful sexual chemistry full or mystery/suspense.
    Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2018
    This book was profound, heart-warming powerful with its message to us not just a story for our enjoyment. It was a wonderfully layered story of love, redemption, kindness, acceptance, forgiveness and human spirit. Full of love and redemption. heartwarming wonderfully layered, so engagingly told, and so perfectly emotional. It's the whole package values of human kindness and most of all faith. I could not put this book down and spent my Sunday reading this page-turner. This is not your typical romance book, it is so much more I would highly recommend that you give it a read. I received an ARC copy of this book and this is my honest and voluntary review of this book about to great characters that have a wonderful sexual chemistry full or mystery/suspense.

    Faith can see past the filth and dirt of this one particular homeless person to see the real man inside as a caring man. She would have never guessed that the man that helped her one night would step into her life.
    Jude is homeless by choice and has no desire to return to his former life, as this is the life that he deserves. He tries to give back and to help others but stays anonymous in the dark shadows of the street.

    He has been doing just fine for over 5 years but when he helps one woman one night things soon chance and he is unsure if it will be a good chance or a bad one. She has captivated him and she is slowly uncovering the deep dark layers of his soul.

    What will happen when the secret of the local Good Samaritan hits the local newspaper where Faith works at?

    What will happen when the truth comes out can either of them have faith to trust the other person?

    5.0 out of 5 stars R.C. Boldt's latest release is inspiring and phenomenal!
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 September 2018

    Authors all have their own style of writing, and these styles are a unique signature of sorts. As a blogger I am truly blessed to come across a huge range of styles and coincidentally, it was through my blogging that I found R.C. Boldt. At the time I got that first advanced review copy, I had a ton of books in my kindle library that I had never even read and had therefore already purchased a previously released book by her. So, but that first ARC set the stage for my obsession with R.C. Boldt’s work and now I not only one-click a copy from Amazon on release day, but I also try to purchase them all as signed paperbacks to keep on my bookshelf. I love her brand of romance. R.C. Boldt is a talented storyteller whose style is constantly evolving. She writes sweeter and sexy rom-coms like a pro… but she also offers readers books that are a little soberer, more angsty and still sinfully sexy. I haven’t yet to find a book that she’s written that I would say was less then fantastic. After getting my hands on an early version of The Good Samaritan in June, I was moved by this inspirational story that reminded me just how versatile and skilled an author she in. And I can promise you, if I wasn’t already well versed in the art of social media stalking, R.C. Boldt would have been my next target… but by now, she’s used to seeing a lot of me! 😉 When I saw she had a new book releasing, I jumped all over the chance to read it. Heck, I preordered the paperback version to get my hands on it early! The Good Samaritan was truly phenomenal writing.

    This story centers around a man who gives everything up in order to atone for what he considers his sins. As the story develops, you see one man’s kindness spreading throughout a city and that city begins to take notice of the mysterious Good Samaritan. Reporter Faith Connors is assigned to the story of this do-gooder as her boss believes that the Good Samaritan is a farce. And in her quest to discover the truth of the good Samaritan, Faith encounters Jude, a homeless man whose kindness shines through him. the pair form an unlikely friendship which evolves into a beautiful love that’s deep and true. Soon, Faith no longer wants to pursue the story she’s been assigned as all signs point to the good Samaritan being everything the testimonials proclaim he is.

    The Good Samaritan is a contemporary romance that I found unique and thought-provoking. It’s a story that teaches empathy, of being judgement free, and above all else the importance of kindness towards strangers. Long after I finished reading the book for the second time, provocative thoughts ran thoughts my mind rapidly. What would our world be like if we lived a simpler life? Or spent more time helping others? What if those people who experienced kindness ‘paid it forward’? A single kindness towards another can cause huge ripple effects in society--I’ve experienced this for myself--and I not only strive to live by the ‘paying it forward’ mentality but I work diligently to teach this message to my kids. Therefore, the fact that R.C. Boldt wrote an entire story around a man that made this his mission in life was very powerful. Jude was an impressive hero who absolutely captured my heart. Faith was also a beautiful soul, who learned that she could fight negativity with her talents as a reporter. The sexy chemistry between the pair was heightened by their friendship. I found myself in tears twice while reading this story and I don’t cry easy. Oh, and I loved the grand gesture in this story—but that’s all I’ll say on the matter. Get your hands on a copy of The Good Samaritan at the earliest opportunity. If your new to R.C. Boldt, I am sure that you will be one-clicking more of her work as soon as you’ve finished this one. However, if you’ve read her work in the past, you already know the gems that she releases. Either way, you can not go wrong with this book! Jude’s story needed to be told… and I can’t think of a single thing R.C. Boldt could have done to improve upon it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Read it. So much more than a romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2018

    Blown away by this book. I thought it would fall easily into the romance stories I like to read as a diversion. The blurb interested me so I preordered it thinking it would be a nice easy read. So much depth to this story especially the second half. Homelessness is covered beautifully and honestly. Faith in others and yourself lifted this book to an emotional and touching read leaving you willing each main character to find what they were looking for. I loved it and was only expecting to like it.

    I liked the book overall. I really loved the concept and the characters. I’m just not totally sure about the writing style and the plot. I wasn’t really satisfied with the ending. It seemed to wrap up really fast. I thought the FMC fell in love pretty fast too. She was really immature at times. Also, the whole fight about the article being published was a little wonky. It could have been done better. I went back and forth between liking the book and not liking it, but it was a good story overall. Definitely worth a read, if just for the original idea.

    I'm a great fan of RC Boldt and one-click without reading the blurb.
    Now I'm kinda used to snark and humour in her books, so this was a bit of a surprise. And a fantastic one at that!
    It's beautifully written and full of emotions. Of people who try to help others in any way they can and want no thanks for it.
    Once I started reading I couldn't put the book down.
    Highly recommend it!

    Reviewed in the United States on 22 September 2018

    The titular character in The Good Samaritan, who comes to be known as Jude dwells in the shadows. Not always literally, but, as just another homeless person, he's not one to attract attention and most people, if they notice him at all, quickly pass on, quickly forgetting yet another unremarkable one of “them”.

    He prefers it that way. He doesn't want attention. Doesn't want to be noticed. Doesn't want any recognition or reward for the many little acts of kindness and heroism he's able to perform from the shadows. That's not part of the plan. He simply has a debt to repay, but after five years, people have started noticing.

    Faith, is the reporter tasked with uncovering the identity of the elusive Samaritan, but she likewise has a secret to protect.

    I have to admit that I was intrigued by both the title and the cover of this book, but having skipped the blurb, and getting stuck right in, by the second chapter I was convinced that this book would, at the very least be unique, and my suspicion was that it would be so in a good way.

    It really is.

    R.C. Boldt has crafted a story that showcases a variety of well fleshed out characters, who interact to unveil a story that is perfectly bittersweet. Where every small victory is accompanied by it's own corresponding sadness, and where, I for one, not only couldn't tell where the story was about to go next, but don't think I could have put into words where I wanted it to go.

    One might think that the level of aching despondency would make this a depressing read, yet alongside the ever present sense of despair, there are characters and situations that spark, and in turn, fan the flames of hope, that sooner or later, there might be a tomorrow that shines brighter than today.

    From moment to moment as I read I'd be first on the verge of tears at the aching poignancy with which the plight of the less fortunate is depicted, only to have my heart warmed at the beauty with which the better side of the human spirit I portrayed.

    Simply incredible. Like, I'm writing this review at 5am after finishing reading at 4:30am kind of incredible. Now, maybe I'll get some sleep … or maybe I'll quickly see what else she's written.
