Pulling Leather by L.C. Chase

3.0

Scott Gilliard has spent his life denying the man he really is inside a gay man. Bull riding is his life and being a gruff, hard nosed cowboy, is the coat he wears on the rodeo circuit. In the aftermath of the indictment involving Trip, he has disappeared from the circuit. He's trying to get his life back in order, and understand the secrets he harbors.

Scott gets back into the circuit with the help of Trip. Scott is not prepared for the out and open Cory Ackerson. Cory is a sun in Scott's dark world. Cory is not about to let this somber, sad cowboy get away.

This is a tale of hate, loss, faith, redemption, and most of all love. I will not spoil the ending but I can imagine how tough it could be to be perceived as a tough guy riding bulls and at the same time being gay.
