This is the third book in the Honky Tonk Series called Honky Tonk 3: Wedding Bells and Bullets by Rain Carrington. Each book can be read alone but I recommend that you read as a series in order or read the trilogy!
In Mesa Rojo not much is happening accept the wedding of the century and sexy Hunter and Ethan are now being forced to watch over a mobster and deal with the very homophobic father of the groomsman. If that wasn't enough they are also dealing with their own cold feet. Hunter has a member of the west coast crime family staying on the Westmore Ranch and his name is Troy and he sets his sights on the very troubled Drew but here comes Ethan to the rescue but what will the results be of Ethan getting involved in this situation?
Reggie's father is completely blaming hunter for turning his son gay and now causing havoc on the wedding which already has it's own troubles. To make matters worse he is now telling lies and making everyone very nervous and nobody wants to get in between the two most power cattlemen. Now the day has finally come but not without some bullets flying, major dramatic secrets being revealed and dreams being met by Hunter and Ethan or will too much drama tear them apart?
I loved all the characters in this book and in the entire series and so much happens, the reader will be entertained from the very beginning to the end! This novel was so brilliantly written and I just love the writing style of Rain Carrington. It was great how she brought back all the characters to the 3rd book and how she wrote about them was just so beautifully done. To understand all the background on them, I do suggest reading the entire series in order or the trilogy to make it easier. I am really hoping that Rain doesn't end with book 3 as I can't get enough of her writing and these amazing men. You will not be able to put this series down at all and you will be thinking of these characters for some time to come as they stay with you and plus the author wrote such a brilliant series. I highly recommend this book and the entire series by Rain Carrington to anyone who loves reading about love, romance, drama, intrigue, forgiveness and the most hottest gay characters!

The drive to the bunkhouse was quiet…mostly. Hunter figured out pretty fast that Troy Castor didn’t like being ignored. “So a gay rancher huh? Bet that’s real popular out here in Texas or wherever the hell we are.”
Oh God, what a tool. “New Mexico.”
Troy laughed. “Man of few words. I like that.” He looked out of the window and then back at Hunter. “Is this a gay ranch? You hire the lonely gay guys?”
Why the fuck did his father have to build the house so far away from the actual ranch? “I hire people that work.”
“Well as long as some are eye candy I might not hate it here.”
Hunter pulled the truck over and turned to glare at Troy Castor. “This is a working ranch. We work cattle here. There is no eye candy, no hitting on the hands and no fucking around with them. You will keep your head low, do the work, keep your mouth shut as to who you really are and when it’s time get the fuck out with as little muss or fuss as possible.” Hunter started to turn back to the steering wheel then thought of one more thing, possibly the most important thing. “If you even look at Ethan again Dante won’t need to find you. I will squeeze your head off your shoulders and feed it to the fucking hogs.”
So what if they didn’t have pigs on the ranch? Castor didn’t know that.
Troy’s eyes were narrowed but he nodded. “Noted.”
“Fine.”
By the time they got to the bunkhouse Hunter could feel the hatred coming off of the man but he didn’t care. It wasn’t like he wanted to be fast friends with the fuck anyway. He got out and showed Troy through the dining hall.
“Breakfast is at six, unless otherwise posted. Coffee’s always on and there will be nights that it’s your job to put it on. I don’t have a 24 hour cook.”
Without waiting for a response Hunter led him into the lounge where the television, a pool table and library was. There were a few of the guys sitting around the room, two playing pool. “Everyone this is the new hand Troy. Troy this is Billy, Rip, Turner, Danny and Pete. Over there fixing the toaster oven is Carl.”
Troy smirked, gave a wave and said, “Howdy!”
Rolling his eyes Hunter pointed to the hall where the rooms were while the others just stared at the two of them. Down the hall, the third door on the left Hunter knocked. When there was no answer he opened the door and saw the two unmade beds. “Here’s where you’ll sleep. It’s the only room with no roommate. I don’t want anyone stuck with you.”
Troy’s emerald eyes twinkled with humor. “Sure thing Hoss.”
“The name is Hunter.”
Oh God, what a tool. “New Mexico.”

Rain Carrington started writing when she was just a teenager in Trinidad, Colorado but didn’t start writing M/M romance until much later. Through the years many of her gay male friends told stories of heartache and the struggle to find “the one” so she told them stories, fantasies all about them and their future cowboy, fireman, biker or policeman. When she found a writing site that encouraged her to write them down she started what was an adventure like she never had before.
Her first story, Cabin fever, about a young man searching for love and finding it wrapped in a member of a mafia family gained her readers who cheered for more. She knew then that she had found her place in the world. To make stories of love and kink that not only her readers but she could get lost in as well.
Rain now lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado but has traveled most of the US. Her last road trip to San Francisco gave her characters still coming out…no pun intended…in her newer stories. Rain has severe scoliosis which makes it hard for her to do all the things she used to love but it did give her the time to write that she never had before. She fights for lgbt rights from her home as best she can now and keeps in close contact with her friends that fight on two good legs to point them where they should go. She is a fervent believer that one door never closes without another opening so there are no limits she can’t get past.
Of all the people in the world no one has encouraged and supported her like her friends, many of them writers themselves, and her family. There is never a dull moment in her home where laughter is in the air 24/7 and everyone knows to avoid the computer screen when she sits in front of it. They never know what kind of beautiful man love they may see. Rain calls it research, they call it, “there she goes again!”
Her latest book, Rebel Yells is getting great reviews and she is currently working on the sequel, Penny’s Lane.
