Review: A nice story with a happy ending

I enjoyed this third book in the series. As with the previous book, I was worried that the religious element had the potential to drag the story down a bit but once again the author managed to share the message without detracting from the story.In this book, Ray meets Zeke at a bar and recognises someone who needs help (of course he is also madly attracted to the man!). "It was ironic that in a room full of gay men, Ray was attracted to the one man so deep in the closet he was choking on the mothballs."Ray is the assistant to Pastor Noah. The story line continues from previous books where Pastor Noah and his congregation are being harassed by the new Pastor who is strongly anti-gay. They have moved the church to Simon and Luke's ranch but are still dealing with many issues. Ray is trying to help his new friend Zeke while also helping other members of the congregation.Zeke's situation is extremely complicated [I won't say why as it would spoil the story] and the story focuses on him escaping his past and falling in love with Ray. I liked both the characters of Ray and Zeke but some of Zeke's actions seemed stupid given he was in his forties, a qualified teacher with teenage children. Why he didn't just speak with his ex-wife, at least once, was beyond me.  Regardless, it was still nice to see him finally get his happy ending!
