Book Blurb

Sonny Good loved his life as an FBI agent, but when his father died and he was needed back home he quit the agency and became a rancher. Now several years later, Summerville, Nebraska is starting to seem a little isolated. An openly gay rancher in the middle of Nebraska just doesn't have many prospective dates.

That is until Garron Greeley moves to town. Garron is the town's newest resident and bad boy bartender with shoulder-length dark brown hair and tribal tattoos. Sonny is struck by lust at first sight. Things between the two of them take off like a rocket until Sonny learns Garron is also the brother of the man who owns the neighbouring ranch. The man Sonny considers his enemy, which leaves Sonny to decide what's more important—the feud with his neighbour or a potentially blazing passion with Garron?

Book Review

“How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly!” ~ Elizabeth Gaskell

Sonny Good of 'Sonny's Salvation' runs a successful ranch in Summerville, Nebraska. which he took over when his father died. Sonny is openly gay, but there aren't many prospects in the small town and Sonny is lonely. He is past wanting one-night stands. He wants to build a life with someone. Just as he's about to give up and resign himself to being alone forever, he meets Garron, the new bartender in town, and things begin to look better.

Garron and Sonny's lust for each other burns bright from the beginning, but soon grows into something much stronger. The only real flaw is Sonny's dislike for Garron's brother, Jeb, who owns the ranch next to Sonny's. Sonny always thought the previous owner would sell it to him, not some stranger who doesn't know what he's doing. Garron is very loyal to his brother and won't tolerate Sonny badmouthing him, so they try to work around it. When things start to heat up between them, Garron insists that Sonny and his brother, Rawley, come to dinner to meet Jeb, and attempt to come to some kind of truce. Being blunt, Sonny comes right out and asks Jeb about why Jack, the former owner, sold the ranch to Jeb instead of him. When Jeb tells him the story of why it happened, Sonny “felt like a Grade A bastard.” After this revelation, and clearing the air, Sonny offers his help and advice in the future.

This is a short story introducing the characters to a new series and leaves a lot of questions unanswered. I'm pretty sure they will be dealt with in the upcoming stories to follow. Even though I didn't get to learn much about Sonny and Garron, I liked that they could be so open with their passion and their emotions. They are men who know what they want, and go after it. Thanks, Carol, for what looks like a promising new series.
