Jake and Tor return in this long-awaited sequel to the bestselling Bareback! Having bought the ranch they've worked on for so long, they're now the proud owners of a spread of their own. There's more than enough on their plate coping with their new responsibilities and their arguments over ranch management, and it's not long before even more trouble hits. When he learns his sister has died in an automobile accident, Jake is crushed. His grief is tempered by Tor's loving support, but they're forced to be apart while Jake deals with the family. When they bring Jake's nephew back to the ranch, things stretch to the breaking point. From the day to day difficulties of running the ranch to dealing with a teenager who's just lost his mother, Jake and Tor wonder if they'll be able to survive. In the fury of the storm, the two men fall back on the one thing that can get them through. Each other. Can they keep it together when everything seems to be falling apart around them? Chris Owen gives Jake and Tor a triumphant return, bringing back a cast of characters that are as well-loved as they are in love with each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great story..., May 18, 2007

I really enjoyed Bareback and the other Jake/Tor online stories on Mr. Owen's website. I was looking forward to the follow up novel but was a little nervous about it after reading some of the other reviews here at amazon. I can't understand. I think this novel was even better written then the original. I like the plot more and felt the whole novel flowed more smothly. It was shorter than Bareback and had fewer sex scenes but I felt like I got to know Jake & Tor so much more. I enjoyed seeing them mature and grow as they became better at dealing with each other and the world around them. I have high hopes to see more Jake/Tor novels & stories in the future!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Sequel, March 13, 2007

This review is from: Natural Disaster (Paperback)

R. Parklane's review is on point. This book is not a sequel in terms to continuing the love story of Jake and Tor. In this book you don't recognize Jake and Tor. Responsibility has changed both men. The one good constant in this book is that both mean do lean on each other in times of conflict, something neither man did well in "Bareback". However, I did miss the Tor and Jake I had become vested in. I gave the book 4 stars because it is well written and contains some surprises in ancillary characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, April 2, 2007

I agree with the other comments. This book is not a sequel and you hardly even see Tor and Jake as a couple in this book. I was very disappointed in this book, ever since the author had said the sequel was going to be released I was excited as hell. The prequel is a gem of a story and I expected no less from the sequel. Sadly the author didn't deliver, their was no passion between the two main character [Jake and Tor]. The characters that were so beautifully written in 'Bareback' just did not shine.

However, despite this what he did was relatively good. But it just didn't seem the authors heart was in the sequel. I would have rather seen no sequel than this.
