At this point, I am convinced that Emma Scott sold her soul to the devil. There's just no other explanation for how she delivers masterpiece after masterpiece.
Someday, Someday was Scott's first attempt at a male/male romance and I for one loved every single second of it.
Max Kaufman has my whole heart. Kicked out by his father at seventeen for being gay, he had to do some shady things to get by and is now a recovering addict who turned his life around and became a nurse. Max was such a kind and generous character and I just want to hug him. That dude deserves only the best in life.
Enter Silas Marsh. Who is saddled with the stereotypical expectations of a patriarchal dad who only cares about his image and forced his son to do conversion therapy that thankfully did not stick but left a lot of scars behind. Silas is fighting with his own impulses, trying to come to terms with being gay and on top of that trying to save the company his father is so proud of but has left half the world addicted to painkillers.
These two were just such a perfect fit for each other. From Max's caring and selfless support to Silas' unconditional love for his older brother who has Asperger's, this was an unforgettable love story between two starcrossed lovers.
Definitely my favorite Scott book to date. I cannot wait to see what this author will do next!

RATING: 4/5 STARS

I first read one of Emma Scott's books a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised by how she took heavy topics and wound them into a really beautiful love story. This book was no different. Silas and Max's story was wonderfully written and it included relevant themes to modern society (addiction, homophobia, conversion therapy, PTSD, opioid abuse, homelessness). I was impressed by how these issues were addressed with sensitivity and well-integrated into the story. It was heartbreaking to read about what Silas and Max each went through, but the ending tied up loose ends perfectly. If you're a fan of HEA stories, you'll enjoy this. Silas' brother Eddie, who was on the autism spectrum, was also a joy to read about. His connection with both Silas and Max and his influence on their relationship was so pure.

I highly recommend this to readers who like stories with meaningful romance. SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY was emotional, but as a bonus it had some humor betwixt the dramatic scenes as well.

A sincere thanks to NetGalley and Emma Scott for providing an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars

I absolutely devoured Someday, Someday by Emma Scott. It was emotional, raw and heartbreaking. It deals with some very serious subject matter and I could not put it down. The author gave us a powerful story not only of love, but of second chances, understanding and forgiveness.

Max has not had an easy life. Kicked out by his parents for who he is, he had to learn not only to survive on his own but recover and build something for himself. Silas Marsh seems to lead a life others would envy, but not everything is as it seems. When Max and Silas meet, can they learn acceptance and let love in? Their journey is not an easy one, but it was compelling and honest to the core. A beautiful and touching story that I highly recommend.

Life-changing!

When teenager Max Kaufman is caught kissing a boy by his confused and angry father he is banished from the family home and forced onto the streets. Lonely, scared and depressed, Max turns to drugs and soon spirals into the life of an addict. It takes the help of a kind stranger to turn his life around.

Years later, Max returns to Seattle to attempt a reconciliation with his family and accepts a position as a nurse for multi-billionaire Edward Marsh of Pharma Pharmaceuticals, a vocal homophobic. Max would quit, but he is drawn to the dark, moody, and incredibly handsome Silas Marsh and can’t walk away.

As a teen, Silas battled with the loss of his mother, his father’s growing bitterness, raging hormones, and his sexuality. When he embarrasses his father by getting caught with the son of an acquaintance he is sent to a ‘boys camp’ in the arctic for 6 grueling months of torture. He returns a cold shell of himself and after a rough recovery, including a bout with addiction to pain meds, he buries himself in his studies and rises to the top in his father’s firm.

Then a new nurse is hired, a man Silas met at a NA meeting and all the emotions he was programmed to reject, the overwhelming attraction for another man- Max- threatens to destroy the tenuous peace with his father. At the same time, Silas learns of Pharma’s complicity in providing the drug to thousands that turned them into addicts- and for many, death. Love for his brother, who suffers from aspergers disease, stops him from leaving the Marsh heritage, and his father, behind.

The growing attraction between Silas and Max creates a world of problems for both men, but love happens whether we’re ready or not.

THERE ARE SO MANY LEVELS TO THIS STORY, I CAN’T ARTICULATE ALL OF THEM. SCOTT EXPERTLY TWINES MAX AND SILAS AROUND THE READERS HEART- YOU CAN’T HELP BUT HOPE FOR THESE TWO!


Our country has faced an opioid crisis for years now. Thousands of lives have been lost- good lives. Fathers, mothers, children who should have the care and respect they deserve.

While Canada accepts and welcomes gay marriage, I am very aware that we have a long way to go in the way we treat anyone perceived as ‘different’.

It is books written with heart and soul like Someday, Someday that will hopefully make a difference.

I give Someday, Someday 5+ lovely kisses- get out the tissues!

“I voluntarily read an ARC of this book which was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.”

I loved everything about this book. Max and Silas were beautifully complex characters and so well-written and the storyline totally drew me in. The emotions felt by these characters were so visceral and heartfelt that I could't put it down. This is most certainly going on my keeper-shelf to be read again.

*I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by NetGalley*

I love, love, LOVED everything about this. The gay representation felt so well-done and respectful. A lot of m/m romance these days feels fetishized, but this felt like a true romance and the focus was on the characters as true people, not just hot gay cardboard cutouts. The ASD representation was also FANTASTIC, accurate, and again, very respectful. Keep in mind, autism is a spectrum, so this isn't necessarily representative of everyone with ASD., but it felt accurate and true to a lot of people I know personally on the spectrum.

I’ve read quite a few M/M stories so far. But Emma’s story was by far the best I’ve ever read. This 6 star story made me feel so much.

Max came a long way from a rejection he suffered as a teenager. He has worked very hard to succumb his addiction. Silas suffers from PTSD. He’s rich, successful but can’t be himself. The 2 meet by chance and then end up in each other’s lives. Together they will work through anything.

First of all this story is really about 2 people from different backgrounds but love each other. I felt so much for them. These characters were so beautifully crafted to have me on a roller coaster of emotions. Eddie, Silas’s brother plays an important role to make this already amazing story so much more amazing.

This storyline was addicting and captivating. Beautifully written with heart and soul. Bottomline, if the reader has never read an M/M kind of story, please pick Someday, Someday

Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.

2.5 stars

This book was so hard to rate. I adored both of the MCs, and their slow-burn romance was fantastic. Through the first 70%, it was a 4-star read with a few irritating plot points that were annoying when they popped up, but easy to ignore the rest of the time. And then those storylines took over the last 30% of the book, and the romance I had been enjoying so much all but disappeared.

From the get-go, Silas' business concerns were unrealistic to the point of distraction. His "discovery" is something that should be common knowledge at this point, but even if you do the mental gymnastics to excuse this, you just can't ignore that Silas would be personally aware of the problem from his own experience -- since that experience is the setup FOR THE WHOLE BOOK.

I appreciate that the author was trying to shed light on a very serious crisis our country is facing, but I don't think it was executed well at all. This was the weakest part of the book to me, so it was very disappointing to spend so much time with it at the end.

Max wanting to re-join his horrible, horrible family was also very frustrating on several levels. I do understand that "forgiveness is for the sake of the forgiver," and that philosophy certainly rings true for Max's character. But they were very unpleasant to read about, and to quote another author: "In romance, the HEA/HFN tends to misrepresent family reconciliation as the only path to happiness."

And this book illustrates that perfectly. Because by the end, not only have we celebrated Max's reconciliation with his awful family, which we have to read about in detail over several infuriating, never-ending scenes, but we are led to believe that there's a happy ending coming for Silas and HIS father -- who the author has spent the entire book establishing as an absolute monster with zero redeeming qualities, both as a father and a human being in general.

So why, oh why is he our "happy ending"?? Authors, I assure you, sometimes the healthiest decision someone can make is to break free of their emotionally destructive family members. Which...I kinda thought you knew since prior to this final scene, Silas' big emotional victory is WHEN HE DOES THIS VERY THING!!!

I haven't had a book crash and burn like this in recent memory, and I really struggled to balance the 4-star review from the first two-thirds of the book with the rage-reading I was doing by the end. I know it's hard to stick the landing, but this just doubled down on all the bad stuff while at the same time giving us very little interaction between the two MCs, which was a problem all on its own. So bottom line: No, I would *not* recommend this book.

5 stars

Emma’s writing is beautiful! Every book gets better and I’m not sure how that’s even possible!

Someday, Someday has such depth and the characters we so likeable. It was a beautiful, but heart wrenching story. There were times it was difficult to read about Si & Max’s past. It just broke me to read about the struggles they both went through, mainly because it happens to many in real life. My heart goes out to anyone who has to go through anything remotely close to what they went through.

Without giving anything away, I just want to highly recommend this book. It is M/M and I’m quite picky when it comes to reading these types of books, they have to be well written and not cliche. Someday Someday was just perfection!

Oh my goodness, when you read an author for the first time and you know you'll hunt down her back list. That's this book, just so good. So emotional, so powerful and unforgettable.
Two men, both with mega baggage for being true to themselves. Love is love, or is it? One grew up on the streets, the other a billionaire, severely traumatised and living a lie. Both with fathers from a homophobic and close minded generation.
I had no idea that kind of therapy was happening in the western world, scary stuff.
The epilogue was brilliant, after all the tears I had a warm heart...ok I was still in tears but happy tears.
A fantastic love story, I highly recommend it.

This is my first full length Emma Scott story & what a way to pop my cherry. This book was just beautiful.

It was heartfelt and honest. It was raw and emotional. It made me cry. It made me rage and it absolutely made me fall in love with her storytelling.

Max and Silas are two broken men. Broken in very different ways but both so deserving of a HEA. I sighed a lot in this story. Both in happiness and sadness but I will say that even in the sad moments I still felt hopeful. Absolutely recommend.

“You can choose a different life. Choose me, Silas. I’ll love you for who you are, and we’ll give a shot at happy.”

Someday, Someday follows Max and Silas, in dual perspective. The plot revolves around their relationship, the difficulties and how they're overcome. However, the story is so much more than their romance. It deals with really tough topics like addiction, familial issues, extreme homophobia and ableism. It's clear that Emma Scott put a lot of research into these harsh topics, and as a result they are portrayed in a very real way.

Max and Silas's relationship is beautiful. They go through so much hardship, and the ups and downs of their relationship is so tangible, it makes it that much more satisfying when they work through their problems.

I picked up based on the great reviews it was getting and it is so deserving of them all. Someday, Someday is one of my favourite reads this year! And I can't wait to check out more of Emma Scott's work.

Someday isn't a day of the week.."




Emma Scott must be a beautiful soul. Her words are always feeling. Her stories intense in their empathy and emotion. Her characters are and could be your neighbor, boss, or that one you've always dreamed of from afar. They are real. You can feel the heat from their skin, the joy or sorrow emanating from their bones, the longing to be loved in your very marrow.

Someday, Someday is a subtle beauty. A dream, a wish upon a star...

I almost feel like an evil grinch when I sing in my head "someday never comes..." I want so badly to take all the people whose someday never comes and hold them. However, this book...is like a gift. It feels like an early Christmas present to me.

Someday, Someday is filled with hope. In a terrifying and abysmal place in his life, Silas is offered hope. Hope that is wrapped in barbed wire, frostbite, and electrical shocks. Hope that he will have to claw his way to and through to get but hope nonetheless.


“New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all the colors of my life were changing.”


A quote from another book which plays an integral part of this story is also an amazing and wonderful point of view. It encompasses so much...freedom, a new outlook, love - all major necessities.


I know that as a straight woman I can't possibly understand the fear, loathing, and hurt. But as a PERSON I can completely empathize. I understand what it's like to be persecuted by your own family for who you love. I know what it's like to be removed from your household for dating an "undesirable". I know that love IS LOVE. You can't control it. You can't bend it toward your will. It simply is.


Emma Scott makes it FEEL right. Someday, Someday is a beautiful and sweet story with some serious "real world" problems. Its beauty in a cruel and ugly world. It's also one helluva love story.


Someday, Someday is classy in its romance. For those that aren't quite up to an erotic MM, you will be fine. This story is about love. Those that enjoy a roll in the sheets, don't worry Emma Scott didn't omit the sexual side of romance. It's a beautiful truth, Someday, Someday. I'm glad she shared it with us.

So, I want to be clear, that I respect what the author set out to do with this story. With the subject matter, the redemption, the healing.. even dragging something as relevant to our every day as the opioid crisis into the spotlight. But..

.. but. This story feels a lot like it's trying very hard for me to feel things. For me to be heartbroken, or angry, and to champion the MCs, to rage against the villains. All of which, like, valid. The material is there. I just didn't quite sink into any of it. Probably because so much of it is melodramatic, or manufactured, and also just vacillating between different extremes to the point that things felt a little (a lot) unbelievable and hard to hold onto.

I'll say it again. I appreciate some of the topics, I appreciate the representation, but this was just a little too OTT for me whilst also not being enough for me to feel much of anything. But hey, what do I know, this is beloved by almost everyone, so, hey. Grain of salty salted salt.

This was my first Scott, despite having bought up most of her books during one kindle sale or another, and I would like to give her other works a try. This is definitely not the worst 'romance author tries m/m' foray I've ever read. I think I've just read too many better ones to think much of this one. But a lot of potential was here so I definitely won't be deleting her off my kindle. I might even finally read those other books! Sounds like a good 2020 goal.

What an emotional ride! Silas and Max are two amazing men that are brought together by their history of addiction. Max then unknowingly becomes a caregiver in Silas’s family and they realize they have more in common, as they each come from shattered families. This is a story that touches on many issues that are present in today’s society and makes it heartbreakingly real. The journey to healing is heartfelt and realistic. The happily ever after was perfect.

In Someday, Someday Emma Scott delivers and emotional story with so much heart. This author has the distinction of being one of the few to ever make me cry over a book. This is a beautiful story about the long road to finding yourself and the hard fight to stay true to what you find.

Max and Silas are on a difficult journey towards acceptance, from both their families and themselves. Where they end up is beautiful and touching. I loved reading their story and experiencing their strength grow as they found each other. A poignant and inspiring read!

This is an important book for several reasons: one, it features a believable LGBTQ romance, but two, it tackles extremely difficult topics with grace. The author's note shows how well-researched this book was, and she did these issues justice.

Despite the fact that there are some very heavy issues in the book, Emma Scott doesn't leave the reader feeling hopeless. Her characters and the world she builds show that love and compassion for ourselves and others can help us overcome the worst in the world.

The characters were very interesting and fairly diverse, including a character with Asperger syndrome. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a good M/M romance, but also people who aren't aware of the many issues LGBTQ youth face.

6* Perfect Love Stars

You know when you read an Emma Scott book you will be transported into a world of heartfelt emotions. Her writing is flawless and deep. The story of Silas and Max was so much more than two people finding love and living happily ever after. Their journey towards one another was marred with the baggage of their pasts and the heartache each of them had to endure to overcome their scars.

The secondary characters to this story were pivotal in the healing and moving forward for both Silas and Max. I absolutely loved Eddie, he was such a breath of fresh air.

I highly recommend this pull at you heart strings read, it was everything and more. It is my favourite read for 2019.

Many thanks to the Author Emma Scott and NetGalley for my copy to read and review.

This book… Wow. It was a thing of beauty. I knew Max was an amazing person from Forever Right Now. He had been to hell and back and it had made him all the wiser. What I didn’t expect was to be so floored by his convictions and his ability to help others in so many situations, and also to stand up for what he needed for himself. It’s been a while since I loved a character so much.

Max’s love interest Silas was unexpected part of the story for me. Yeah, I knew he would be dealing with his sexual orientation as it related to his family and their business. It was way more than that, though. He had some baggage that was just as rough as Max’s. It made so happy that he and Max were thrown together because who better to help Silas with his past than Max?

Someday, Someday was not just an epic romance. It was an epic read filled with topics relevant to today’s social and business culture. Emma Scott went big on everything in this one and it paid off. What a phenomenal story!

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Someday, Someday is a wonderful love story, narrated by the two main characters, Max Kaufman and Silas Marsh.
Max's life is complicated. Kicked out by his parents when his father discovered he was gay, Max struggled against addiction, living on the street, selling his body for drugs. Only a stranger's kindness saved him and since then Max spent the last seven years recovering, studing, becoming a nurse and protecting his heart. His life is changed when, struggling with his job at the ER, he's offered the opportunity of becoming one of the nurses of Richard Marsh, a billionaire, president of the famous pharmaceutical company, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. And there he meet again one of the member of the NA (Narcotics Anonymous), discovering his real identity, as the son of his employer. His relationship with Silas, first slightly awkward because Max knows about Silas' addiction and Silas is afraid Max could talk, slowly become more and more intense, until the fell in love with each other.

Max and Silas are two really complex characters. Max's suffering made him a strong person, he's true to himself, he won't compromise himself, he won't hide his true nature. While trying to reconnect to his family, his brother sister, mother and father, Max is loyal to himself, refusing to back down, to suffer, to let others hurt him again. While protecting his heart, he can't do anything when he meets Silas. They first become friends, battling their mutual attraction and then lovers, but they find themselves tangled in a big and complex net of lies and ugly truths.
Silas Marsh fought his whole life to be the perfect son his father wanted, repressing his feelings, his identity, his desires, his true nature. To inherit his family fortune he's forced to follow his father's wishes, his grip strong than ever. Silas carried with him a huge emotional hurt. His father, when he was seventeen, decided to send him to a sexual reprogramming program in Alaska and for months Silas was beaten, starved, tortured and electrocuted. He was abused, shamed and called unnatural because he was gay and the emotional damage and the PTSD never left him, forcing him to shut down feelings, desires and thoughts, becoming cold and distant. Meeting with Max, opening up to him, falling in love with him pushed Silas to consider if it was worth to live a lie, faking it with his fake fiancee, Faith, to be engaged and in love.
Silas was trapped for years in his father's clutches, groomed to be the perfect heir, forced to do what he says. His need to be free is blocked by his need to protect his older brother Eddie, who suffers from Asperger and is mistreated by his father, deemed useless and forced to stay at home. Their suffocating prison is shaken by Max's presence. Max connects right away with Eddie and bit by bit manages to shake some of the ice incasing Silas, until they both fell in love with each other.
But Silas has responsibilities, because he discovered the extensive damage their major drug, the OxyPro, did to many people and, before being real with himself, he needs to get his company back and make amends.

Max and Silas' love story if full of ups and downs, truths and heartbreaking and it's raw and real. I love how Max, after being through hell, is strong for Silas, waiting for him to be ready to come out, to defy his father and be free. He's being true to himself is admirable and really amazing. He's strong, full of joy and suffering and I love how he managed to tackle his family and triumph on his own awful past, finding who he really is and what he wants to do and who he wants to do it with.
It was really realistic how Silas was conflicted. Forced to live a lie by his father, shamed by Coach Braun and his time in Alaska, it's with great difficulty and help from Max and Eddie he managed to be free and stand up for himself. I adore how he decided to be there for himself, seeking help, talking with the people he loves, deciding to stand up for the people his company hurt. During the book he's divided by his growing love for Max, his need to protect his brother, take back his company and make amends for what greed did. He is admirable and strong.
I love Max and Silas, they are amazing and complex main characters and reading from their POVs was interesting, because the author wrote about their emotional turmoil, their sufferings and hopes.
Their love is strong and they would do anything for each other and for the people they love.

I really liked the side characters. Eddie is amazing, fun and I love how he's surrounded by people who loved and understand him, how Max and Silas managed to help him be better, to escape from his father's net. Darlene is funny and supportive, a true friend to Max, same as Daniel, who helps him a lot, when he decided to come back to try to reconnect with his family. Faith is Silas' perfect fake fiancee and I adore how she and Silas are friends, how she pushed Silas to be true to himself, to be with Max, seeing right away they love each other.
Richard Marsh and Lou Kaufman are the "villains" in this story, the first one causing Silas a lasting emotional abuse and the second one forcing his son to live homeless and cave in to drugs. Both Silas and Max used the same drugs, Silas for his PTSD and Max for his life on the street, that caused the financial turmoil in the book and that pushed them to the meeting where they see each other for the first time.

I love how the author wrote about interesting and heartbreaking topics. Reading about Silas' sexual reprogramming was awful, above all because it exists nowadays, like the cruel homophobia showed by Silas' father, convinced his son was defective and who decide to have him tortured and by Max's father, who kicked him out, forcing him to suffers and debase himself to survive. I love how this book showed people can be beaten down, went through horrible things and still get up, find themselves, find love and meaning in live. How people can change and make amends. How it's important to fight and be true to oneself.

Max and Silas' love story is sweet, cute and realistic. I love how they support each other, how Max was there when Silas need it, helping him to stand up, to face his true nature, to seek help for his past abuse, to be free from his cage. And how Silas was there for Max when he meets his family, trying to reconnect and heal their relationships after so many years of suffering.
Their love is so pure and I loved this book because it's raw, realistic, full of pain,hardships, forgivness, amends. Full of love and hope. Like life.
