The Outlaws—Rafe (The Outlaws, Book One): Connie Mason

He Was Going To Hang

“Rafe Gentry had committed plenty of sins, but not the robbery and murder that had landed him in jail. Now, with a lynch mob out for his blood, he was staring death in the face…until a blond beauty with the voice of an angel stepped in to redeem him.

She Was Going To Wed

“There was only one way to rescue the dark and dangerous outlaw from the hanging tree—by claiming him as the fictitious fiancé she was supposed to meet in Pueblo. But Sister Angela Abbot never anticipated that she would have to make good on her claim and actually marry the rogue. Railroaded into a hasty wedding, reeling from the raw, seductive power of Rafe’s kiss, she wondered whether she had made the biggest mistake of her life, or the most exciting leap of faith.”

So, I’m back to reading more Connie Mason! (I’ve noticed a trend in my reading lately…there’s a pattern of Connie Mason and Sherrilyn Kenyon…so I think to keep things interesting, I’m going to have to read a new author next.)

This was the first in Mason’s The Outlaws series and it was an interesting start. I liked Rafe’s character a lot and Angel was fun to watch too—though both were similar to other Mason characters I’ve seen before. I mentioned in my last review that there was a pretty common thread in Mason’s books. This one deviated a little and it made it easier to read. I liked seeing more variety in Connie Mason’s writing—though; don’t get me wrong, I love Mason’s writing! I’m pretty excited to get my hands on the next book in this series.
