"The very best book I read all year. It's a drama with an intricate mystery at its centre and it left me breathless... one of the best lesbian books that came out in 2017, and possibly just one of the best releases of the year in general."

— The Lesbian Review An Outsider Inside

"Her plot twists are reminiscent of the works of Sarah Waters, her settings and understanding of the human condition rival the many books I've read by Emma Donoghue. An Outsider Inside is a thought provoking read which will have you questioning your own bias and prejudices."

— Goodreads Reviewer An Outsider Inside

"No two stories of yours are the same, characters that I can identify with, consistently well written and edited books, your style is unique, you write what your muse tells you and not what you think people want to hear, you don't write inside the box... books I would want to read again and again."

— Reader R J Samuel

"Great character development, even the secondary characters are well developed… self effacing humour, it's a little thing, but when the subject matter gets heavy and angst levels begin to rise, your natural turn of phrase brightens some pretty dark scenes."

— Reader R J Samuel

"Your ability to draw the reader into the scene… Through your characters, you voice what many of your readers cannot. You are not afraid to express deep and sometimes profound feelings. Your prose turns your books from everyday Lesfic into literary Lesfic."

— Reader R J Samuel

"Incredible twists and turns… keeps me guessing, engaging characters with human/realistic strengths and flaws, enchanting descriptions of Ireland (makes me want to travel), captivating story and character development, beautifully written sentences and dialogue."

— Reader R J Samuel

"I love reading a book that entertains, challenges, explores my emotions, teaches me new things, leaves me satisfied, but impatient to read your next! All your books do this…"

— Reader R J Samuel

"This was the first RJ Samuel novel I read - and it broke me wide open. The powerful struggles of our times, the heartwrenching conflicts that tear us apart... beautifully written and deeply explored. I cried my way through most of the book; I mean that as a compliment."

— Amazon Reviewer An Outsider Inside

"She creates characters that enchant your soul. I may have fallen just a bit for Breanna in this one, but undoubtedly found myself missing the entire cast after the words, The End."

— Amazon Reviewer A Place Somewhere

"Brilliantly written with wit and sensitivity. It's more than a romance, rich with colorful scenes of the lush Irish countryside. RJ Samuel has a real gift for creating a world mixed with vivid imagery, emotion, and humor."

— Goodreads Reviewer Falling Colours

"Heart Stopper ticks all the right boxes. If you love mystery, twists and turns, the Irish landscape, romance, and strong characters with dialogue that leaps off the page - read this book! You won't regret it."
