Owen
Doyle’s rough beginnings taught him not to form attachments, yet he’s drawn to
Tyler Booth like a magnet. Their relationship has blossomed from strangers to
best friends, with each twist in the journey weaving their connection tighter.
But Owen has a six-year secret that’s become unbearably painful to keep. As the
seams of his resistance fray, Owen will lean into a new mentoring opportunity
to keep from ruining the best thing in his life.
Tyler will never regret going to jail and getting sober because meeting Owen
saved his life and taught him how to trust again. Their inseparable bond has
earned much teasing over the years, but Tyler doesn’t recognize himself without
Owen. When he senses a yawning chasm between them, he’ll turn to mutual friends
for help. Their well-meaning advice opens Tyler’s eyes to unexplored
possibilities and will snap missing puzzle pieces into place.
Some hopes are too big to stifle, and some truths are too big to ignore. A
photo booth, smoking-hot kisses, and honest revelations will take Owen and
Tyler’s intimacy to a whole new level. But before they can achieve their
happily ever after, they must unload the baggage from their pasts. Will the
road to discovery guide them to the necessary healing, or are the guys destined
for the highway to heartache?
Friends Like Them is book four in the Redemption Ridge series. Though
each story features a different couple, reading the series in order is
essential. Friends Like Them contains mature themes and is intended for

“Ty, I want to get pictures
with you in the booth.” Owen’s voice was soft, but his suggestion landed like a
bomb. That tiny, cramped space wasn’t big enough. One would have to practically
sit on the other’s lap. Tyler’s mind didn’t need additional encouragement to
replay the earlier fantasy.
“Ty.” Owen’s voice was more urgent as he stepped beside him. “Are you okay?”
No, he wasn’t, but an honest answer would only invite additional questions he
wanted to avoid. Tyler forced a smile and said, “Yeah. I’m great. Let’s go take
pictures.”
Owen responded with an excited whoop before he bounded out of the
kitchen. Tyler dried his hands and trailed behind him at a more sedate space so
he could coach his body and brain into remaining calm. It felt like every pair
of eyes was on them as they made their way toward the booth, which looked even
smaller up close. Owen reached for the door just as it swung open. Finley and
Kieran stumbled out with mussed hair, swollen lips, and strips of photos in
their hands. Clearly, the couples used the cramped space to suck face instead
of smiling for the camera. Tyler’s heart skipped a beat before galloping like a
racehorse.
“It’s all yours, fellas,” Fin said with a sweeping gesture.
Kieran winked at them as they passed by, and Tyler reexperienced the sensation
he was the last to figure things out.

Friends Like Them is the fourth book in the Redemption Ridge series. It
can be read as a standalone, but you miss so much of the relationship if you
don't see it in the previous books. I feel it's best in the order the author
intended.
Tyler and Owen have been best friends for close to seven years. They've been in
prison together (where they met), and now are living and working on Redemption
Ridge. Owen has harbored feelings for Tyler for all that time, but Tyler is
straight, or so he thinks. When Tyler sees Owen dancing with the newest
addition to the ranch, Keegan, Tyler doesn't know what to think. He's losing
his best friend and he's jealous but he's not sure why. Everyone on the ranch
knows how Owen feels but Tyler and after a quick conversation with Hope, he
realizes he may be seeing Owen in a different way. Then when an innocent moment
in the picture booth turns into something more everything changes for both
Tyler and Owen.
I loved watching Tyler's awakening to feelings he didn't quite understand but
knew he wanted Owen in ways he couldn't imagine until now. Owen was so patient
and kind with Tyler, letting him go at the pace he felt comfortable with. Their
chemistry was volcanic and adorable.
I love this world Walker created and the found family the people on the ranch
turn out to be. It's a special place I will have a hard time giving up with
only one book left in the series.

This is the fourth book in this incredibly good series and I believe really
must be read in order. A little
unexpectedly, this is my favourite so far, for many reasons, but mostly for the
decorating the Christmas tree scene – which was perfection.
Owen and Tyler have been the jokers and the best of friends in every book, and
yet Tyler has no idea that Owen loves him and would love nothing more than to
be in a relationship with him... even when Tyler finds himself jealous over
Owen’s mentee, and realises that he has romantic feelings for him, he does not
understand that Owen also feels that way. It is lovely that the log jam in his
brain clears and he gets to experience an even closer friendship and imagine an
even better future with his BFF.
As he opens his eyes to that possibility, he also has to navigate the other
relationships he has been holding at a distance, with some wonderfully
unexpected outcomes.
Delicious from beginning to end – I read this in one sitting, because I had to
know how it all worked out – enjoy!

This is the fourth book in the series and I think you should definitely read
the series in order. Not only is it a great series but we see Owen and Tyler
through the entire series, so it gives some backstory to them.
I will say I was pretty shocked how fast this book moved. Not a bad shock by
any means, just shocked. I've wanted Owen and Tyler to get together for several
books and finally we have their story!! These two are so perfect for each
other. This book melted my heart. The love, commitment, communication, and
friendship these two have together is undeniable.
I love the entire ranch and all the couples. There is only one book left and
I'm so sad, but happy I've been on this journey with them all.
