'Chaps and Hope' is book one in Bailey Bradford's new series, Mossy Glenn Ranch, and is, essentially, a continuation of Carlos, Troy and Will's story whom I met in 'Where There's a Will'. The guys have moved to Montana to take over the running of the Mossy Glenn Ranch for the three siblings who own it, Nick, Annabelle, and Rory. I loved coming back to my guys because I knew this would be a wonderful story and that the sex would be out of this world hot. I wanted to watch Carlos, Troy and Will settle into their relationship and for each of them to find their niche.The guys get to the ranch and discover a mess. Someone graffitied the barn and house, fencing has been torn down, the house was broken into and garbage and dead rodents are all over. Yuck. They get to work on the fixing up, although Troy has a bit of a run-in with the local bigoted hardware store owner. Will has a great idea about advertising for hands in GLBTQ friendly publications, ensuring they get employees who aren't fazed by Carlos, Troy and Will's relationship, plus the ranch could offer a haven to anyone who is down on their luck in an unfriendly situation. I have to admit that when the author introduced Drake, the guy who said he knew nothing about animals or ranching but he sure could ride a cowboy, I had high hopes I would get to see more of him!Settling in and getting the ranch up and running takes more work than even they thought it would. They hire some ranch hands and, of course, Drake as the cook, but since someone keeps graffitiing the barns, they have to keep stopping regular work to repaint. Then Troy discovers the hardware store owner having beaten the hell out of his son, and Troy calls the police while trying to keep himself from being attacked by the crazy bigot. The Mossy G has got some interesting stuff going on and I'm loving it. One good thing comes from Troy stepping in: some of the townsfolk come to the ranch and help to paint as their way to show thanks that someone finally stepped in and helped that kid.There was a lot of excitement in this book, and holy crap, there was a ton of sex. For a minute it almost made me want to be a man. Nah, what was I thinking? *grins* I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series because I'd like to see more of Drake and Barney, some of the new people introduced here. Of course, I'll want to check back in with Carlos, Troy and Will, also, to ensure they are still happy and everything is going well for them. Thank You, Bailey Bradford, for creating another super fun and sexy series!NOTE: This book was provided by Total-E-Bound for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
