Publisher's Summary

The toughest ride of his life is all in his head.
Bull rider Scott Gillard has a reputation for quick fists and harsh words. What no one knows is where that anger comes from. After a shocking incident sends him into a tailspin, he knows he needs help: he's been fighting a battle he could never win. Now he's trying to navigate a new life and embrace his true self, but some days are easier than others.
Pickup man Cory Ackerson has suffered his share of harassment, but his light still burns bright. He doesn't let anything or anyone keep him down, so when he meets the rugged cowboy with a battered chip on his shoulder and regret in his dark eyes, all he wants to do is help.
As their unlikely friendship grows into something deeper, Scott must overcome his past to be the man Cory deserves, or lose his best chance at his own happily ever after.

Great narration, not my favorite in the series

Scott has been fighting his sexuality his whole life. As a result he’s been a raging homophobe as well. He’s picked fights and supported bigots. When Tripp ends up losing his career after being bashed, Scott has a bit of a wake-up-call and begins to see the light.

Cory has been picked on all his life for being slight. He’s an out and proud gay cowboy, mostly because he just can’t hide it. He’s bright, sunshiny, and full of fun.

Scott can’t help but be drawn to Cory’s enthusiasm. He wants what Cory has to offer but can’t force himself out of the closet. Cory wants Scott fiercely but won’t be kept a secret forever.

I laughed when I saw that I originally posted this book on Good Reads in September 2014. It’s taken til now and an audio book review to get me through this book. *sigh

I wanted to love this book. I really loved the first two books in the series.

LC Chase is a great writer. It’s not that there are technical difficulties with the story – it just made me so frustrated!

Scott and Cory just danced around and around and around and around one another. Will he, won’t he, I want him, I can’t have him, he’s awesome, he’s a jerk… on and on. Then there’s a bit of drama with Scott’s father. Cory finally has had enough. POW – Scott can’t live without him and they’re together.

I was disappointed by the amount of time in limbo. I was frustrated by Scott’s continual denial despite his own mind having accepted his sexuality. I didn’t like the lack of a relationship – both sexual and in person – on page between Scott and Cory. (The couple goes on a couple dates, has a couple make out sessions, and the rest of the time they’re separated. There’s very little sex and not even one “I love you” amazing HEA sex scene.) I thought the situation with Scott’s dad wasn’t handled with enough on page discussion. (It felt contrived, though I can tell it was planned all along as a plot point, it wasn’t dealt with much after the big reveal and I really think this could have been a nice way for Scott to learn more about himself and his sexuality and it could have been a nice bridge from “I can’t come out” to “There’s nothing wrong with me”.)

All in all I just didn’t care for this story much at all. (I loved Cory and was happy to see our other MCs again, but they weren’t enough to elevate the rating for me.)

Story 2 of 5 stars

Audio

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Dorian Bane has the BEST cowboy voice out there! I absolutely adore his dialog and loved listening to him voice this story. I don’t love his non-dialog narration – he tends to lilt at parts that don’t need it – so many sentences end on an up swing and that gets repetitive. But… that doesn’t hamper my enjoyment of his narration overly much and I really think cowboys are his “thang”!

Made Me Not Just Like Him But Love Him-Great Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Pulling Leather to be better than the print version?

Yes. Though that said, I haven't read the books. But Dorian Bane's storytelling is not to be missed. The story comes alive when he is telling it.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved seeing a guy struggle from dark and pain into light and joy. Loved seeing Scott get his second chance to start over with much of his life and get it right.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the scene when Scott was back up on a bull and got his ride, but the best was that epilogue. Totally loved that one.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Well, yes and no. It had a slow-paced quality that doesn't lend itself to needing to devour it all at once, but yet, I found myself being reluctant to switch it off when I need to.

Any additional comments?

This is book three in the Pickup Man series and really needs to be read in order.

I rec'd this book from Riptide Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
