The third book on the Good-time Boys is the story of Rawley, Sonny's brother, and Jeb, Garron's brother. Rawley has lost his job as Sheriff after causing too trouble to Lionel, the major suspect in the shooting of his brother Sonny. Loosing his job could be not a bad thing if allows Rawley to openly live with his lover Jeb. And so they start their relationship and in the meanwhile Rawley continues to investigate on Lionel, with the help of all his brothers, but also of Nate and Rio.And Nate and Rio, with also Ryan, Rio's lover, steal the scene to Rawley and Jeb. I have no problem to admit that I have sometime skipped in advance to see if I will have something more on the threesome. So I'm waiting to read their story in All Play & No Work, the first in the Cattle Valley series, even if I will be a good girl and read it only after having finished the last in the Good-time Boys series, Twin Temptations.About the main characters, Rawley is an interesting character. He loves Jeb, no doubt, but he is still acting the role of the straight man who doesn't admit to be gay. He behaves like he thinks he has to do a "real" man, an Alpha man, trying to overprotect his lover and taking away decision from him. Jeb is a saint: when he is pissed off, he sleeps on it and goes up early in the morning and works off the hungry, and then sits down and listen to his man and to his excuse. He knows that, during the day, his man will think on what he has done and will return home with the tail between his legs. Clever man.Rawley's Redemption is an enjoyable book which flows smoothly.
