This is Book 4 in the Compass Boys series. Ok, I’m going to be honest here when I tell you that I cried at the end of the book. I have spent many happy nights visiting with the Compton family. This was just another great time with them. I just regret that it wasn’t longer with a deeper story between Doug, TJ and Rosalia. There’s a lot of emotion going on in this storyline between the three of them with a deeper look into TJ’s background. You will love the pull between them and how they finally came together. Remember the box of Kleenex because you will need it. It’s har to realize that this is the end of a series of books about the Compton family. We’ve been through so much together. The hardiest parts were the books with JD and Vicky leaving us. But we leave the family knowing everyone is loved and happy. A big thank you to the authors for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful book family. If you haven’t read any of the other books, I highly recommend reading the Compass Brothers, Compass Girls and the first 3 books in the Compass Boys series. They will quickly become a part of your family. Compton family, you will be missed! Maybe down the road, we will see the Compass grandchildren in a series? Fingers are crossed!

This is a very emotional and very hot ménage romance. The chemistry between Doug, Rosalia and TJ was absolutely electric and the intimate scenes are scorching. I love a book that not only brings the heat but the heart as well and there is so much going on here emotionally. From Doug's struggle with his dream ending injury, to the long friendship between TJ and Doug, to the long simmering feelings and attraction between these friends, to the new attraction they both feel towards Rosalia, and TJ's painful history and family issues. An amazing, beautiful and steamy read that both entertains and also moves you.

The final Compton Boys book. Most of the time it is easy to forget that Doug and TJ are in their early twenties. They seem older. This leads me to wonder how much older Rosalia is than them since she has just finished her doctorate.

Doug is an easy going guy. Kind of a jokester. He had a setback in his life plans early in his life but mostly his life has been good. TJ has been Doug’s best friend his whole life. His life hasn’t been easy. Stuck dealing with his alcoholic father and feeling like he has nothing in his life. Doug brings him back to life when he introduces him to Rosalia. It is a very emotional journey for TJ.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

Lots to love here: sexy cowboys, fearless storm chasers, a super smart lady scientist who gets her men. This book had more story and less sexy-times than I expected from a book from either of these authors, but it worked. The balance was good and I appreciated the extra feels. The emotions rang true and the amount of conflict/angst was just right.

This was my first ever Compass book and I'm kicking myself for finding this series at the very end. Still, for having not been introduced to this world before, I didn't ever get lost, and I didn't feel like I was getting a ton of spoilers that would ruin the other books for me. In fact, I fully intend to start at the beginning and read them in proper order.

Doug and JT have been best friends since childhood. While Doug has been working as a camera man/producer on a storm chasing crew, JT has been at home caring for his abusive, alcoholic father. Doug has been in love with Rosalie for years, but she has kept him in the friend zone. When the storm crew needs another camera man, Doug convinces JT to leave home and work on the crew. Rosalie has had a cancer scare and now wants to live. She regrets pushing Doug away. When Doug returns with JT, she has two handsome cowboys she wants.



The chemistry in this book was amazing. I loved the connection between Doug, Rosalie, and JT. The book was so smoking hot. I read it in one sitting and wished it was longer. This was an amazing end to the series.



I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

This was a super sexy MMF book. I had lots of swoon worthy feels. I loved the characters and the story!

Doug and TJ have been best friends forever despite TJ’s problems dealing with his alcoholic father on his own. TJ’s is feeling bleak, Doug is the only person who can drag him out of the darkness so he decides to follow him when he asks him to help him storm chase with brilliant and beautiful scientist Rosalia. The problem is the storm is closer to home than he expected. The thing I love about Mari’s writing is the depth of her characters along with great story telling.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

A sweet and sexy romance, Light as Air delivers an interesting storyline and scenes that are hot as hell. I read this without reading the other books in the series, and it stands on its own - though I enjoyed this one so much that I plan to pick up the rest.

I am sad to see the ending to the wonderful Compass Series. But Mari Carr and Jayne Rylon do a wonderful job of bringing this family's saga to a conclusion. Two sexy cowboys and an innocent scientist heat up the pages. Doug Compton is the final Compass Boy to find his way to happiness. His best friend TJ Nicholas feels trapped because of a promise he made to his dying mother. Doug can see how much TJ is suffering and convinces him to come with him on one of his storm chasing assignments. This trip will have an eye opening effect on their lives. Rosalia Salvatore is a scientist who runs this storm chasing operation. But there is a totally different type of storm developing between the two sexy cowboys and the innocent scientist. The three will discover feelings that have been dormant and come to life with sizzling results! A very enjoyable series!!!!!

Full circle, that is what this book was, the epilogue matches the prologue from the first book, and made me smile for a peek with the family we've followed for so long

Now, for the story of Doug, this pulled a few tears right from the start. When we last saw Doug, he was a pre-teen set on the rodeo. Now, he is a storm chaser, so we find out why right away. Then we learn about his best friend, TJ. TJ will break your heart, and Doug will give you hope. We add in Rosa, yes, we are getting our Compton menage, and it is perfect. Rosa is a scientist, a doctor, and she is who is the real storm chaser. Doug tapes, Rosa chases, and TJ is along for the ride this time

Rosa has kept to herself all her life. Between being the only girl with six brothers, working in her families restaurant, and burying herself in her studies, she resisted Doug's advances. A slight health scare has her ready to step up, but TJ adds to the mix. Doug and Rosa know each other well, and he is ready once he sees the change in her, but convincing TJ takes a bit. TJ hasn't had the best life, and letting that go to live his own takes some change in thoughts for him

Hopeful and sexy, these three were the perfect way to close off the Comptons story!

Not everyone can write a good ménage but Mari Carr and Jayne Rylon sure do know how to write them well. They let you get to know the characters along with the hot sex. It’s always good to visit Compass Ranch and reading about old friends. The premise of this one was unique (at least to me). I never read about storm chasers and weather enthusiasts so it was refreshing for a change. Sure didn’t expect TJ to be the more dominant one in the relationship but it was a good surprise. It’s hard to to see the Compass family come to an end but it was enjoyable while it lasted. Here’s to a new family/series that will be just as entertaining.

Omg.....when these two authors get together, amazing things happen behind their book covers, and between their characters too. Sexy and steamy, this romance is packed with hot scenes and sizzling chemistry throughout the book. A fun plot, great writing and maybe a surprise along the way, make for a very great read. Would definitely recommend this book to all book lovers out there

It is so sad to see the end of Compton Pass and its first family.

As always, love is celebrated regardless of the form it takes. The story of Doug, TJ and Rosalia proves that emphatically.

A fitting end to a fabulous series of books. Now back to the beginning and an entire re-read.

Thank you Mari and Jayne for making me feel part of such a wonderful family!

I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have read other Jayne Rylon books before, but hadn't read any of the Compass Boys/Compton Pass books, so I went into this with no background. It can absolutely be read as a stand-alone, though it might make it a richer reading experience if you know more about Doug's family.

Doug and TJ have been best friends since childhood, through Doug's dream-killing shattered leg and TJ's mom's death to cancer and his dad's determined descent into alcoholism. While Doug has escaped to work as a storm-chasing cameraman, TJ has attempted to save his father for years. But when Doug makes an offer he can't refuse, TJ signs up to go find tornadoes. What he didn't sign up for was Rosalia, the incredibly hot and smart researcher heading the team up.

And because this is romance, they all fall into bed together. What I appreciated was that there's actual dudes touching dudes because I'm continually amazed at the amount of NO HOMO nonsense that happens in this genre. It's not a genre our system really buys, but I'll happily recommend these authors looking for good MMF romances.

This was sweet, very sexy, very very HOT menage read. I loved how this all came together. I do wish there was an additional hundred pages with more story, but everything came together perfectly.

Light as Air by Mari Carr and Jayne Rylon is the 4th and apparently final book in the Compass Boys series. The Compass Ranch series has had 12 books since 2010 and this final one wraps up the storyline. This is the first book I’ve read by either author and it was a good one to start with. Note: Light as Air is a MMF read so if that isn’t your thing don’t one click haha. 4.25/5 for this read and these new to me authors.

Doug Compton has known what he wanted to be when he grew up his whole life. One short, stupid second when he was 16 years old changes that forever. He also realizes at that same time he may want something he may not be able to have.

Thornton Joshua Nicholas III “TJ” lost his mom at age 11 and has been trying to live up to the promise he made on her deathbed. Doug is his best friend and he wants to be there for him no matter what. Is friendship all he feels though? When Doug invites him on the job of a lifetime he sees his way out of the hell his life has become.

Rosalia is a tough storm chaser from a big Italian family. Up until recently, or maybe even still, classified herself as a nerd. Doug had been flirting for months, she jokingly called him her “work husband”. She likes him but has a strict no mixing work and pleasure rule, so she is shocked to find herself attracted to TJ as well.

Doug, TJ and Rosalia take a slow journey together to discover not only their true selves but what each other longs to experience. It is a wonderful love story, not only about lovers but friends with a deep caring for each other. Love is Love, it is as simple as that.
I received an advance copy from Netgalley without any expectation for review. I’m only sorry I’ve come so late to the Compass Ranch party. Now comes the task of ordering all the previous novels. A readers work is never done!!!

Good book. I liked the setting and the characters. I would have liked to read more! This is a series and I haven’t read all of them.
