5 ANGELS: "Mathew "Matty" McCallister is finally ready to tell his parents that he is gay. Matty knows that his father, the fire and brimstone, gay-bashing minister, will never accept it and unfortunately, things go down as badly as he thought they would. His parents threw him out of the house, but since he'd already packed his things in his truck, it worked out ok. What he didn't expect was for his younger brother Ruben to beg to go with him. It seems that Ruben is also gay and has been planning to leave on his own but would rather go with his brother. Matty knows that his father will go after the money that was given to him for graduation, so he changes the accounts and has Ruben do the same. They make it to the state line before they are pulled over by Sheriff John Riley. John quickly realizes that their father has set them up so, Matty gives the Sheriff all of the documentation about the money in question and Ruben goes with him willingly. John clears them of all charges, but he suggests that they hole up somewhere safe and sends them to stay at the Blaecleah's ranch. They are scared to go, but at the ranch, they find acceptance and a family that they never had. When Quaid Blaecleah first sets his eyes on Matty, he sees the man he's been looking for all of his life but only if he can only get past the distrust and fear surrounding Mathew like a cloak. Matty can't take his eyes off Quaid, but is he ready to trust again? This is the third book in the Blaecleah Brother's series and it definitely lives up to and exceeds the earlier books in the series. It's sad how many religious individuals use their pulpit to espouse bigotry to their congregation. It was horrible to read how Matty and Ruben's father would go to any lengths to get revenge against Matty, by using the church to rationalize his behavior. The way the Blaecleah's opened their hearts and lives to Matty and Ruben was beautiful. I was inspired how the reverend, Benjamin Brody, taught the real meaning of loving your neighbor and the congregation followed his cues, creating a caring and accepting community. I wish all churches were as loving as the Blaecleah's was. Quaid's willingness to accept whatever friendship/love Mathew was willing to give him, in spite of what he wanted, was inspiring. Has Matty and Ruben's father washed his hands of them? Are they finally safe from him? Read this story to find out." -- Teresa, Fallen Angel Reviews

4 STARS: "In the third entry of the Blaecleah Brothers series, COWBOY WAY, we are dealing with bigotry, abuse, hope and survival. Ms. Glenn pens a story that while at times was difficult to read will have you believing in Happily Ever After.'I'm gay.' Two words that Matty knew were going to change his life. He just had no idea how much they would change it. Growing up in an ultra-conservative household, Matty knew his father, the good Reverend McCallister, would never condone having a gay son. With this knowledge always in the back of his mind, Matty planned for the day when he would make his announcement and be disowned and his father did not disappoint. What was a surprise was when Matty's younger brother asked him to take him with him because he is gay as well. Knowing they needed to get as far away from their father and his congregation as soon as they could, the two start driving and almost make it to the state line when Sheriff Riley stops them. Thankfully the Sheriff believes that they didn't steal from their father and tells them he knows of a place where they can stay until everything blows over. Quaid Blaecleah didn't know what to expect when the sheriff called asking if two men could stay with his family. But as soon as he saw Matty, he knew he had found his 'legend,' that one person that was meant for him. Now he just has to convince Matty without spooking him. Getting Matty to open up and trust him isn't going to be easy but Quaid knows it will be worth it. Just when Matty thinks he has found a place he can be himself and maybe find a little happiness, a misunderstanding leads to the worst of outcomes. This book almost felt like an ending to the series. A lot of the questions that were left unanswered in the first two books had resolution in this entry. We all want to believe in love at first sight but the swiftness in which Quaid falls for Matty gave me whiplash. One aspect that I found nice to read was the religious acceptance that was in this book and I thought it was a nice contrast to the vitriol that the McCallister brothers grew up hearing. I felt the character development was a little lacking when it came to Quaid's character compared to Matty's. The strong family ties that make this so great to read are very much in evidence in this addition. So what's next for the Blaecleah clan?? I guess we will just have to read the next installment to find out and I myself can't wait. So if you like hunky cowboys who seem to have an affinity for outdoor sex then this is the series for you." -- Rebecca, The Romance Reviews
