Summary: Connie Mason Does It Again!
Review: "Rafe" is another Connie Mason triumph. She knows how to skillfully put all of the elements together that make a good story, such as suspense, intrigue, and of course ... spice! She is my favorite romance writer. In this book, she experiments with utilizing the poetics of sound in a scene. She also uses subtle and deft symbolism in this story. Connie, you just keep getting better and better! Anyone who likes romances should read this book. They will not be disappointed.

Summary: ANOTHER WINNER
Review: A very good read. I read this book in one night, once I started I could not put it down. Rafe made the perfect hero; a man who was not perfect but always came through to do the right thing.

Summary: Another Keeper From Connie Mason!
Review: An outlaw about to meet his maker and an angel on the run - Rafe Gentry and Angela Abbot soon find themselves bound by a marriage of convenience. Angela, left with a sizeable inheritance and partial ownership of a gold mine in Colorado, heads west to escape her greedy step-father turned guardian and the equally greedy man he has selected to be her husband. Rafe, charged with crimes he didn't commit, plays along with Angela's claim that he is her fiancé in an attempt to save him from hanging. Together, Angela and Rafe must turn their marriage of convenience into one of love, but first they must discover the truth and prove Rafe's innocence before the law catches up with them. But will their quest for the truth leave them both dead? "The Outlaws: Rafe" is a brilliantly written and captivating page-turner filled with delightful characters. The first of a 3 part series, I'll be eagerly awaiting Jess's and Sam's stories in the coming months. I'll gladly give up a night's sleep for a Connie Mason novel. This is one for the keeper shelf!

Summary: Good, but a little too hard to believe...
Review: As with every one of Ms. Mason's books, they are a treat from a long day and I enjoy them. This too was one treat and I am excited to read the other two books in the trilogy. The complaint I had with this one, about the outlaw brother Rafe Gentry, was the fact that he got into too many situations that had me saying to myself, 'alright, enough, this is a little too much, even for me to believe'. I mean, 3 different raps and all of them easily explained? And they don't happen by a chain of events, but by accident? Nope, too much. Rafe was a typical Mason 'hero', by that I mean he was sexy and strong and the kind of guy you wish you knew, but don't, lol. He is selfless and honorable and the kind of guy you can always depend on. The heroine Angela, I wasn't too impressed with. She was a little too trusting and kept getting herself into dangerous messes that Rafe had to keep getting her out of, simply, in my opinion, because she was kinda...dare I say, dense? Yeah, dense. Rafe deserved someone smarter and more apt to trust him when he risked his neck for her numerous times. She trusted everyone else...except Rafe..the ONLY person helping her and saving her from herself. Other than that little petpeive, I thought the plot was great and had a lot of heart-stopping action (which I always look forward to in a Mason book) with plenty of romance thrown in to keep you smiling. Mason always weaves a tale of greed, treachery and impossible odds that the characters must overcome. This, the first in the 'OUTLAW' trilogy, did not disappoint. ~Rafe Gentry was about to hang from a tree in some small town for a crime he didn't commit. A lynch mob has taken him from the cell and condemed him before he was to sit trial. When suddenly an angel with golden hair and a voice and face to match appeared trying to save him. Who was she? And why was she telling them she was his fiancee? Angela Abbot was no angel, despite what her name and voice claimed. She was known as Sister Angela and couldn't abide to see a man hanged, especially one like this one. He had the eyes of an innocent man about to die. So she did something she couldn't believe, she claimed he was her fiance who was supposed to wait her in Colorado. Why? She wasn't so sure herself. When things couldn't possibly get any worse, they did. They were being forced into a hasty wedding in the same town! Now what?
Angela didn't need this extra problem on her hands when she needed to get to her father's mine in the mountains and find out if he was murdered. Hopefully, this added 'problem' would just go on his way, but he didn't. Not at first. Then Angela had a hard time wondering why she wanted him to leave in the first place.
Rafe didn't want to drag Angela into his mess of a life. He was wanted and was on the run. The sooner he got away from her the better, but his heart was calling her and he couldn't seem to leave her. The fire was too strong for them to deny and before they knew it, they couldn't survive without each other...but first he would have to clear his name and find out who was trying to kill Angela...

Summary: THE OUTLAWS: RAFE " by CONNIE MASON
Review: He is going to hang. Rafe Gentry has committed plenty of sins, but not the robbery and murder that has landed him in jail. Now, with a lynch mob out for his blood, he is staring death in the face...until a blond beauty with the voice of an angel steps in to redeem him. She is going to wed. Rafe is the oldest of the three Gentry brother and a more serious.he thinks he has to keep his brothers safe, he never thought about marriage until he found his Angel. I love this book please Connie keep on writting.

Summary: The author saved the best for last!
Review: Here is book three of The Outlaws Saga! Sam Gentry did not know that he and his two brothers had been cleared of the bank robbery charges. He ended u in Denison, Texas. Low on funds, he accepted the ranch hand position when Rusty offered. However, he never dreamed of who owned it. Lacey Gentry owned the B&G Ranch. She had a five year old son, Andy, who was her spitting image. Andy was her reason for living! Six years ago she had been married to Sam, during the war. She had not known her father intended to turn Sam over to the enemy until it was too late! She believed Sam had died during transport to a prison. Therefore, she was shocked to see him stride into her office as a new employee! Worse, he believed she had been the one to betray him! He also believed Andy was the result of lovers she had taken after she thought him dead. Of course, finding out her husband had never died meant he had abandoned her! Tempers were hot on both sides, but so was their passion for each other! However, the ranch was in financial trouble. Lacey had become engaged to her awful neighbor, Taylor Cramer, to save the ranch and have a secure future for Andy. When Taylor found out his fiancé was still married, he set out to get rid of Sam! ***** A new outstanding book by the talented pen of Connie Mason! She has become one of my favorite authors and this story will show all its readers why! More is going on within the story than first meets the eye too. So readers will never get bored or distracted. Highly recommended! I eagerly look forward to her next trilogy! *****

Summary: I'm Sorry to Do This But.....
Review: I had eagerly anticipated this last installment of the Outlaws trilogy, but found that it was not nearly as good as expected. I so loved both Rafe and Jess that it seemed to me a shame that Sam was not very good. Sam is, of course, a wanted man, so he goes to Texas and finds work at the B&G ranch, and finds that his wife of six years, Lacey, is the owner. He thinks that Lacey betrayed him during the war and she thinks that he abandoned her for 6 years without ever letting her know he was alive. Sam also finds that Lacey has a son Andy who he refuses to believe is his and Lacey won�t give him a strait answer about Andy�s parentage. Throw in some misunderstandings, a suitor who wants to marry Lacey for her land, and some Indians and you have this novel. Yes we know Sam thinks Lacey betrayed him and that Lacey is mad at Sam. Yada yada yada. They didn�t have to harp on it constantly. Secondly, very coincidental things happened that created misunderstandings added to the fact that our hero and heroine didn�t communicate with of confide in each other until after a mess had been created. When none of this was going on there was sex. Misunderstanding, anger, fight, sex. It was a cycle that repeated itself over and over. I found myself flipping through the book reading as fast as I can so I could simply make it to the reunion at the end. The reunion was good and I was glad to see Rafe, Angel, Jess, and Meg again and that they all turned out happily ever after. The end is the main reason I would read this book. I really hope that Ms. Mason�s next is better and am extremely disappointed in this one.

Summary: What a great book
Review: I have read close to all Connie Mason's books and "The Outlaw Rafe" is by far one of the best. The books touches on emotions and feelings from the main characters and makes you feel like it happened in front of you. Rafe learns that he needs to be able to trust others. Angela learns that not everyone is as though they seem. This book was great. I read it in one weekend.
