Jake Goodall is a bull rider.  Jake is gay but very in the closet.  No one, not even his family knows he’s gay.  After leaving the rodeo one night feeling good about making it into the finals, Jake heads to the Lobo for a drink and hopefully some companionship for the night.  Brent Miller is a rich businessman heading to a big deal in Dallas when his car breaks down.  He ends up in the Lobo trying to relax after his frustrating day.  Brent and Jake meet and they end up riding off to have a good time alone together.

There are a lot of differences between Jake and Brent.  Careers, money, lifestyle plus the fact that Brent is openly gay.  Even though they haven’t known each other long, a strong connection is forming between the men.  Jake’s not willing to chance losing his career and family by coming out.  Things change when he almost loses Brent and now Brent and Jake have even more challenges to face.

Riding Heartbreak Road is the perfect title for this angst filled story.  Jake and Brent go through the pain of injury and intolerance as well as the joy of unconditional love and acceptance.  I love the instant and deep attraction Jake and Brent have for each other; they are very loving and passionate men.  Riding Heartbreak Road is an emotional story with an incredibly moving ending that left me speechless.
