I have been waiting for this third installment in the 'Mossy Glenn Ranch' series by Bailey Bradford. I have been dying to find out about Salt and wanting to see him get his own happy ever after. Of course, I also wanted to be able to reconnect with my favorite snarky bottom, Will, and his men, Troy and Carlos, plus Drake and Ian, too. Psst…I strongly recommend that these books be read in order so you have all of the background information. I adore this author's writing and well, there's cowboys, what could be better?Saul 'Salt' Johnson is forty-five years old and has spent his whole life as a ranch hand doing what he loves to do. He never minded not being in a relationship because he sure wasn't going to out himself at any of the other ranches he worked at. But, the Mossy Glenn Ranch is different and he can be himself there for the first time ever. Which is liberating but also a little scary. Salt also has a best friend for the first time in his life and it's a woman, Rocky, who works with him. He's discovering there are a lot of things he might have missed over the years, and when he meets Andy at the feed store, he's thinking a long-term relationship might just be the biggest one.Andy Calder is thirty-seven and the co-owner of Organic Feeds. He took one look at Salt in the feed store and knew he had to have him. The problem is how Salt made him feel and Andy isn't so sure that's a good thing. He's spent his whole life, pretty much, doing casual hookups, much like Salt has, so Andy isn't sure why he's all of a sudden wishing for more. Talking it out, or as much talking as men do, Salt and Andy agree to be friends with benefits for when Andy's business brings him to the area. Andy isn't really out because of the business and the risk to sales that could cause and Salt certainly can understand that.Thus begins Andy and Salt's texting and phone call friendship. Andy's a little freaked out about how much he looks forward to those conversations and is this violating some rule in the friends with benefits arena? When Andy turns down the opportunity to hook up at a bar, he knows it's time for him and Saul to talk about maybe being more than friends with benefits. A tenuous monogamous relationship begins between two men who have no idea what they're doing. Andy tells Salt about his family and the guilt he carries that he didn't fight harder to keep custody of his nephew when his brother died, and his difficulties with his younger brother.Oh I loved this story! Andy and Salt were so perfect for each other and, in the end, they got their happy ever after and their family. It is a wonderful story and now I'm desperate for the next installment. I love the Mossy Glenn Ranch and I want to see more and more of it. Thank you, Bailey, for a wonderful story that I can read over and over again.NOTE: This book was provided by Totally Bound for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
