Rafe Gentry and his two brothers, Jess and Sam, were wrongly accused of bank robbery. Pursued by a posse, the three Gentry brothers quickly packed a few items from home and split up, each riding off into different directions. On the exact date next year they were to meet at the Antlers Hotel in Denver.

This book is Rafe's story. He came upon a stagecoach robbery. He frightened off the outlaws, but the five people on the coach were already dead. Cowboys from a nearby ranch showed up and took Rafe to jail.

Sister Angela Abbot's mother died, leaving her to the whim of her mean stepfather, Desmond Kent. Just afterward, her real father's letter arrived, forwarded by his lawyer. Simon Abbot had left half of his gold mine to Angela and told her that if he suddenly died she was to suspect his partner, Brady Baxter. Sure enough, Simon died shortly later. Brady offered to buy out Angela's half and she refused. Meanwhile, Kent decided Angela would marry Anson Chandler. He and Chandler planned to split the inheritance. Instead of meekly marrying, Angela slipped away to check out the mine and see if her father was really murdered.

In Ordway, Colorado she found Rafe Gentry about to be hanged by a lynch mob. She reacted instinctively and announced to everyone that he was her fiancé. Once married, the two had Kent, Chandler, and the law hot on their tails.

Connie Mason will hit the New York Times Bestseller's list again with this one! If Jess and Sam's stories are even a fraction as good as this one, then I do not know how I will wait. It oozes with problems and has enough romance to melt the iciest of hearts! Highly recommended reading!

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.

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!

Great story telling it kind of reminded me though of her other series of the 3 brothers, To love a stranger, To tempt a rouge forgot the other title...


But i still love it a little out there but great action, entertainment and most of all romance...

Rafe was a breath of fresh air. The unique twist of the songbird angel set it apart from other books. I enjoyed it very much.

Rafe Gentry is accused of murder and he is going to be hanged. At the last minute, Angela Abbot saves him by declaring he is her fiance and they are about the get married. Instead of being grateful to Angela for saving his life, Rafe actually dislikes her and thinks less of her for this (Odd guy.)

First of all i would like to say that i've read most of Ms Mason's books and i liked most of them. A couple of which i love and i consider keepers. Seeing all the favorable reviews on this book i was quite sure i would have another excellent read from Ms Mason but i was rather disapointed.

Its true that this book is packed with action and romance and some sensual scenes but what irritates me is the way Ms Mason is writing lately. She uses very simple dialogue, hurries over much of the scenes and I suspect she wanted to finish this book quickly.What good is all the action if it is over in just a few sentences? There's no suspense at all...no real sense of danger. There are no vivid and intresting descriptions of the scenes. For example - at one moment Angela is hit by bullet - and almost immeditaely recovers with no more mention of the wound! I strongly believe this book is nowhere near as good as some of her earlier books ,"My lady Vixen" for example. PleaseDont'hate me for this.

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.

OUTSTANDING, As always Connie Mason out did herself on this one. Worth Reading. As always her books keep the interst of the reader and makes us feel as if we are right there involved first hand. I would recoomend this one as with all of her books. They are 100% the best reading. I enjoyed it totally.

"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.
