And they have a lot of really amazing sex.
The first half of the book is devoted to them falling in love, having that really amazing sex I mentioned earlier, and rebuilding their public and private lives after they are outed on the ranch. Yes, they have to deal with hate and violence, but they also receive love and support from many around them. The Boss is an especially sympathetic character as a loving and kind father figure to Jake.
The second half of the book is even better. It's the "what happens when you live happily ever-after" part that never makes it into the romance novel. We watch Jake and Tor deal with the realities of living together, working together, of just plain being married. They struggle with their own definitions of gender roles and expectations. Neither has a great track record when it comes to long-term commitment and it shows. Yep, they fight, have make-up sex, and fight some more, just like married couples everywhere. And they have to learn the dreaded "C" word, Communication. ;-)
This book is a true romance novel (in the best sense of the word). There is never a moment when you don't feel the love that Jake and Tor have for each other. After watching Brokeback Mountain, a movie that pretty much ripped out my guts, Bareback gave me the happy ending I desperately needed.
I highly recommend this novel.

Product Description:
Jake Taggart's life was almost perfect--he'd worked hard to overcome his past, and he loved his job as foreman on a ranch in Arkansas. The only thorn in his side was a dark eyed cowboy named Tornado whose stubborn attitude brought frustration and confusion to Jake's mostly happy existence.
A late spring rainstorm brings out hidden passions and unleashes a chain of events neither of them expected--and eventually brings about events that threaten to destroy them and what they worked to create. Strong wills and forceful personalities make for intense encounters....but is it enough to keep love alive?
