Sonny’s Salvation by Carol Lynne
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?
This was a compelling book that nicely set up the series about the Good brothers. While the people in this small town in Nebraska are mostly accepting of the alternative lifestyle of some of their people, there are of course some who are much less tolerant and want the Good brothers gone. Sonny and Garron make a very interesting couple, and while the sex is indeed explicit and definite male / male, it doesn’t over shadow the love story.
Garron’s Gift by Carol Lynne
Book Blurb ….
Garron Greeley thought he had it all—a great new job and the man of his dreams to call his own. When his lover Sonny sprang the idea of a commitment ceremony on him, Garron couldn’t have been happier. Except for a few men, the town seemed supportive of their relationship, and many showed up to witness their special day. The ceremony is everything he hoped for, until an act of bigoted violence shatters Garron’s world, leaving his new husband in a pool of blood in the middle of the street. He’s left wondering if asking for everything will leave him with nothing.
Working with his new brother-in-law, Garron sets out to prove the identity of the shooter and bring him to justice. Along the way he learns that true love can have many different forms
Though the sex is very explicit and definite male / male, there is much more to this story. It shows that a marriage faces many challenges, and how love can be tested when one of the partners is permanently changed by violence. Garron’s determination to find Sonny’s shooter adds tension and makes this a very compelling read.
