Book Review of Bareback (Bareback, Bk 1)

This was my first Chris Owen. The author bio is unclear as to the author's gender. Chris Owen writes M/M sex like a man but writes romance and lover angst like a woman. This was an excellent book. I found myself laughing and crying. The character development was way more involved than most M/M romances or even mainstream quickie romances. Don't misunderstand, it is M/M erotica. There are alot of sex scenes, and they are scorchingly hot. I loved that it wasn't a formula HEA. The relationship between Jake and Tor was real, deeply loving and long-term before they hit the required-for-romance-novel black period. I truly wondered about (but fervently hoped for) their HEA. I never read ahead, ever. I was really tempted to this time, but was so glad I didn't. I highly recommend this book to anyone not uncomfortable with M/M romance, it is a great NOVEL, not just a romance or erotica book.
