Told in single POV, 3rd person, it’s the second installment in the "Bareback" series and should be read in order. I loved book one and enjoyed it a lot more than this one. It lacked some drama and wasn’t as emotional. I got bored and after reading 70% I started skipping a lot. Nothing really happened. The most of the book’s focus was on Jacob and the impact he had on their life. Overall, it didn’t live up to my expectations but hope you enjoy it more than me!

Where Bareback was often intense, infuriating and gut wrenching, this sequel was much more sedate. I like both books equally but for very different reasons. I found myself emotionally wrung out by the time I finished Bareback, and I was definitely worried that Natural Disaster would have the same forceful effect on me going in. Although the themes here were often heart-breaking, they were much easier to handle for me as a reader.
This story picks up a good year after the end of Bareback. Jake and Tor are now the owners of the ranch they’ve been working on all these years, and are finally at a good solid place in their relationship. Unfortunately, things can never just go smoothly for poor Jake and Tor, and straight off the bat Jake is dealt a harsh hand when he learns that his sister, Lissa, has died in an accident. On top of having to deal with his own feelings of loss and heartache, Jake is quickly informed that Lissa has bestowed guardianship of her teenage son Jacob to Jake and Tor.
The first half of the story heavily deals with feelings of loss and mourning, and follows the day-to-day happenings that often follow the death of a loved one. The situations and reactions here were quite accurately and beautifully portrayed. The reader is definitely left with a sense of grief reflecting what the characters are going through.
By the halfway mark, Jake, Tor and Jacob are back on the ranch and now have to assimilate to their new lives and responsibilities as a new family unit. I enjoyed all the day-to-day interactions between the guys and I loved how Jake and Tor worked tirelessly to provide Jacob with a sense of home and family in his time of loss.
I definitely enjoyed this sequel and I appreciated that the focus wasn’t so much on Jake and Tor and their relationship angst as it was in Bareback; I can only handle so much devastation and heartache at one time and I’m glad this story went in a new direction, while still building on the relationship formed in its predecessor.

So glad I read this one. I really needed the extended hea after Reading Bareback. There are some things going on and there are some really sad parts, but most of it is drama free and loving ;)
4 stars and I'll miss Jake and Tor. He really redeemed himself as far as I'm concerned ;) The steam was way less in this one... but still very nice !!

I'm so very sad now that I just finished this book. Not that the book ended sad but because I want more. This story was so good that I could have just kept reading and never stopped. Chris Owens did a fantastic job on these two book's. The story kept me turning the pages and not wanting to set the book down. The characters were all original and I found myself caring about them as if they were real people. This book was all about caring, giving, taking, understanding, trusting and most important LOVE along with so many other things. I loved reading how these two cowboy's went through some very hard times but always' found ways to make it work. I could just gush on and on about this story, it really was AMAZING.
I look forwards to trying many more of Chris Owen's book's. After reading this story, she has a huge fan in me.

his is the sequel to Bareback and I enjoyed this one. This was the continued story of Jake and Tor, and life on the ranch. I was surprised that the steam level was a lot less in this book, but then again there was so much hot hot sex in that book that I guess it could be expected. The story started out very sad by the death of Jake's sister, and all the drama that happens. Family arguments, bigotry and when Jake finds out he and Tor were named as guardians to Lissa's son Jacob it gets worse.
Once again I was drawn in and I cared deeply for Jake and Tor. Jake is not the usual hot alpha man in a lot of books i read, he actually whines sometimes. I found him real and less then perfect, still full of flaws and issues, struggling like us all to handle everything life throws at us. Tor is quiet, steady and emotionally strong. It was wonderful to see how far he has come since Bareback. when Jake needed to lean on someone he didn't have to worry, Tor was always had his back.
What I wished for was something to happen, some "Natural Disaster" that would threaten to pull them apart or bring them together even more and deeper. Now adjusting to life with a teenage boy was definitely a life altering event, but not the disaster I was expecting.
If this had been a stand alone book, I would have given it 3 stars. But since it is a sequel, and it was a short book I am lumping them both together. I am giving this 4 heartwarming stars.

Jake and Tor finally own their own ranch. They've just settled in when Jake receives a call that there's been an accident. His sister, Melissa, has been killed in an accident and he and Tor were named Jacob's legal guardian.
There's a lot of adjustments to be made, for everyone, but I think Owen handled it really well. Everything feels very realistic to me. I love that Tor takes over and is able to keep a clear head when Jake needs him most. He was a perfect spouse/partner, attentive and loving, taking care of what he could when Jake, his sister, and Jacob were too affected by grief. It really was tender and loving and perfect.
I was a little surprised that Tor didn't realize that Jake's sudden need to control every little thing stemmed from being unable to control his sister's death, which had been my first thought.
While there still seemed to be bunches of sex, I also thought there was a lot more plot and characterization this time around. And it was good to see that they still have to work on actually talking to each other but are making the effort.
It was also nice to see that they seem to be mostly accepted by the community. I was a little sad that the big dance had been reduced to one day. I get that it was never Jake's thing, but it seems to me the point of the dance was never about the owner, it was about giving the ranch hands a break.
There was also one of those annoying time jumps in the very beginning of the book. A year passes between the first chapter and the second. I get why they wanted to include events of the first chapter, but it may have been better to leave it out to avoid the jarring jump.
I really liked this book a lot. It seemed like a realistic continuation of the last book and I felt like the focus was more on the relationship between Tor and Jake with less emphasis on the sex.

Jake and Tor!
One of my favorite romance couples are back for "Natural Disaster". And though it was angst-light, we get a another slice of established couple life from my two favorite cowboys.
It was good, pretty good actually but it can't top "Bareback". I still get a little emotional about when I think about that scene from "Bareback". I just...I know what happened and I get the why but I still question it. It's like I was in their relationship or something. *shakes head*
Anyway...
Jake and Tor are stuck together like glue and nothing tears them apart. Not homophobic family members (Aunt Jess is a mean old bitch who needs to take a long walk off a short pier) or secondary character deaths (*pouts*) or unexpected adoptions (I love their nephew Jacob - he acted like a typical teen and was not annoying) or domestic woes (though I might think about dumping you if you call me to just talk about checkbook balances while there is hot phone sex to be had).
Shit just continues to get more real for Jake and Tor and they handle it.
And they have sex - not as much as Bareback - but smoking hot sex with some dirty talk, frottage and phone sex thrown in to spice it up.
I agree with another reviewer, this was just like an extended epilogue. I'm happy their HEA kept getting better. But I'd like them to stay that way. I'm fine if there are no more updates about Jake and Tor. They are solid as a rock.
The quick-fix remedies of the homophobic family members was a little disappointing for me. I thought there could have been a little more expansion on that. I'd have love to read it over the checkbooks or roof shingles needing to be replaced.
All in all, a nice followup with a favorite couple, hot sex, low angst, some sad moments but good story. Not as great Bareback but a good story.

'Natural Disaster' is the final re-read from Jake and Tor's story. It's probably been at least a couple of years since I read these books and I really enjoyed revisiting this series. This one wasn't as angst filled as 'Bareback' but I still found it to be equally as interesting. The sex was less frequent but definitely every bit as intense as the first book. Jake and Tor are now the ranch owners and along with adjusting to such a huge responsibility they suddenly find themselves dealing with the loss of Jake's sister whom he has only recently been reunited with, this happened in Bareback. As a result of this loss they take on the responsibility of parenting a teenager, Jake's nephew Jacob. So not as much relationship angst between Jake and Tor but several real life stressors added to the relationship for them to deal with as a couple and they do. Not without a disagreement here or there or having to do 'that damned talking thing'.
Interestingly 'Natural Disaster' also brought with it a shift in the dynamics between these two men, one that I'd forgotten about. During this story for the most part it's Tor who becomes the practical, level headed one...the voice of reason if you will. I enjoyed seeing this side of Tor. The strength of his love and commitment to Jake simply melted me and really made me feel like he was truly sorry for his transgressions that occurred in 'Bareback' and I liked seeing that follow through from the first story to this one. Unfortunately what I don't like is the follow through from this book to the next book 1 in the 'Never Too Early' series by Chris Owen and Tory Temple, but that's another story for another review.
Jake and Tor are definitely at the top of the Hot Cowboy list for me and revisiting them really has been a fun trip but now it's time to move on to other stories and maybe I'll find another cowboy or two along the way.

This is definitely a more low key story when compared to Bareback. This takes place a year after Bareback and Tor and Jake have come through the heartbreak of Bareback, only to walk in to a new heartbreak. I didn't think the drama Tor kept pushing on Jake was authentic. I kept being told Jake was pushing himself too hard. There was very little on page evidence this. Regardless, I still loved this and was happy to see Jake and Tor together.

I read this a long time ago and can't believe I didn't mark it as read, or my thoughts. Since it has been so long I don't really remember it beyond I liked it. Really enjoyed catching up with Jake and Tor. Maybe it's time to re-read it. ;)

~possible spoilers if you haven’t read Bareback~
Natural Disaster is the sequel to Bareback and once more took me to the ranch of Jake and Tor. After six years their relationship is still going strong, they bought the ranch from Doug Gillain and preparing for a family gathering. Life is good for both of them until one phone call sets their world spinning on its axes…
The moment I found out Bareback had a sequel I was in ecstasy because I felt that Jake and Tor’s story wasn’t fully told in Bareback. I couldn’t get my hands fast enough on a copy of Natural Disaster to find out what was happening between these two men I came to cherish so much. So when it arrived I was rapidly immersed in the day-to-day life of Jake and Tor and it was written in the down-to-earth writing style of Chris Owen that fits the cowboy and ranching backdrop to perfection. I found myself in ultimate bliss getting myself reacquainted with them when Jake and Tor’s world comes crashing down and I had to reach for my tissues again.
A death in the family sets the two cowboys up for a major change in their lives, namely the responsibility for their nephew. Chris Owen gives the feelings of loss such rawness that it reverberated with me throughout the novel. I was so moved by the effect it had on Jake, the way he tried to hold strong for everyone and the way Tor tried to support and comfort him. Loss can cripple a person emotionally and to see this play out between two men was so beautiful to see. Yet their actions also contained a head-on approach to deal with the situation which is typical for them.
Much of what I loved so much in Bareback was felt and read in Natural Disaster but I would’ve enjoyed the story even more if the author had more pages to tell the tale of these men in morning. The emotional rollercoaster of becoming a guardian over a teenager and the journey of coming to terms with the loss is not given the depth I came accustomed to in Bareback. Jake, Tor and Jacob need to adapt to a new situation and while it was all given to me with sincere feelings the months sped by in short chapters and it lost a bit of its impact.
With 228 pages it is still a heartthrob of a gay romance with erotic elements in them. The erotically charged need between Jake and Tor was as much a physical one as it was to find comfort and reaffirm the love between them. However, there were more pressing matters to attend to for them and while the eroticism didn’t have the same high-octane factor as in Bareback it was unmistakably present. I don’t feel it is fair but at the same time it is inevitable for me to compare the two stories and say that Natural Disaster is a delightful addition to the original tale but is unable to reach the same level. Simply because it missed the pages to unfold and deepen each characters emotional stirrings and development. I would say Natural Disaster adds another layer to Bareback that gave me the absolute well-rounded feeling I was looking for upon closing their first story.
This second novel may not have the full impact I had when reading Bareback but I did get to experience again the great love Jake and Tor share. It is so real, not shying away from the fact how hard it can be to nurture a relationship. It is a delicate balance and needs must be spoken out loud for the other to take it in consideration. I can’t get enough of how this gay couple communicates together, how essential their physical relationship is and how natural it feels between them. It is like witnessing the real deal between them, attaching me to them and feeling all their ups and downs. It is why I wanted that glorious, almost over the top, happily ever after for them. What I got was a real one and my heartbeat went up a notch in romantic ecstasy creating that moment where every reader wants to leave there leading couple.
Natural Disaster was about loss, grieve, hope, love and new beginnings which also needed Jacob, Elias and Cath to tell the tale and though it was a small it also was an important secondary cast, their presence was adding an intimate feel to the novel. If they already weren’t a cherished person they became one in this novel. Especially Jacob got a bigger role, he is teenage stubborn, he is endearing and he is coping with the new situation. He also presented change within the relationship of Jake and Tor and I enjoyed the effect from a dramatic point of view. For where can true romance soar? Only when it is challenged and ever changing to become stronger. This is definitely what Natural Disaster is all about and only for this fact you should catch up with this incredible set of ranching cowboys!
Natural Disaster contains the true essence of a happily ever after that makes me say that Jake and Tor are my true first love in Gay Erotica Romance and will forever be treasured on my shelves.

Tor owned him, body and soul, and there wasn’t any way Jake would change that. He breathed the air around them, and drew Tor into his lungs, into his blood, and it was better than right, it was living.

In this sequel to Bareback, we revisit with Jake and Tor who have settled down on their newly acquired ranch. Disaster strikes when Lissa is killed in an auto accident. Jake learns that Lissa appointed him to be guardian of Jacob in the event something happened to her. In addition to coping with their new responsibilities and their arguments over ranch management, Jake and Tor face new challenges in raising a grieving teen who's just lost his mother.
It was nice to revisit with the delightful cast of characters from Bareback. Jake and Tor are much more settled in their relationship and seem to be getting a handle on their new responsibilities as ranch owners. Where Barebackwas one helluva emotional roller-coaster, Natural Disaster felt more like a relaxing tube ride down a lazy river. The tragic and sudden loss of Jake's sister was devastating, no doubt; but aside from that, nothing exceptionally bad or heart wrenching happened in this book. Instead, this book showcased the strength and stability of Jake and Tor's relationship and how they were able to find safe haven in each other as they faced the pitfalls and adjustments forced upon them by circumstance. Tor is truly yin to Jake's yang; they are two halves of one whole and absolutely devoted to one another. It was nice to see them in this light. Despite the HEA of Bareback, the echoed through my subconscious for days afterward. Reading Natural Disaster helped to ease some of that upset and fortify their HEA for me!
Bottom line: A delightful sequel to the emotionally charged Bareback. While parts of this book may be a little slow at times, it is nonetheless a must read. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any fan of the genre!

Where Barebackwas one helluva emotional roller-coaster, Natural Disaster felt more like a relaxing tube ride down a lazy river. The tragic and sudden loss of Jake's sister was devastating, no doubt; but aside from that, nothing exceptionally bad or heart wrenching happened in this book. Instead, this book showcased the strength and stability of Jake and Tor's relationship and how they were able to find safe haven in each other as they faced the pitfalls and adjustments forced upon them by circumstance. Tor is truly yin to Jake's yang; they are two halves of one whole and absolutely devoted to one another. It was nice to see them in this light. Despite the HEA of Bareback, the echoed through my subconscious for days afterward. Reading Natural Disaster helped to ease some of that upset and fortify their HEA for me!
Bottom line: A delightful sequel to the emotionally charged Bareback. While parts of this book may be a little slow at times, it is nonetheless a must read. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any fan of the genre!

I read Natural Disaster immediately after finishing Bareback. The prologue picks up right after the end of Bareback with Jake and Tor buying the ranch from Doug. Then we skip a year to get to the real story of Natural Disaster.
Jake and Tor have been running their ranch for a year and their relationship is solid. That was so good to see because watching them tear each other apart for part of Bareback, just broke my heart. They are preparing for Jake's sisters and nephew to come visit, looking forward to having family around. Well, things don't go as planned at all when one of Jake's sisters is killed in a car accident, leaving her 14 year old son an orphan. She named Jake in her will as guardian, though, because he will better be able to provide a stable home to Jacob. Their other sister travels a lot for her job and just wouldn't be able to spend the time needed to raise him.
So, lots of changes coming to our Jake and Tor. Dealing with the loss of a family member and gaining a child in the process is not an easy thing. And through it all, Jake tries to do too much.
Natural Disaster isn't as sex filled as Bareback was, so if that is what you are looking for, you won't really find it. There is sex and it is hot, but it is not the focus of this book. Rather dealing with real life after finding your 'one true love' is what this book is all about. And the conflict didn't come from where I expected it to.
One thing I kept hoping would get addressed that didn't, though is

That just wasn't what I was expecting. Very different than the first book what with Jake and Tor being an established, married couple. The whole second half of the book I was a little on edge though, between the title and the cover I just kept expecting more disaster . Like the troubles they had were bad, don't get me wrong, and I guess the point of "natural disaster" was .
Wish I had read it sooner after the first book since I think I forgot a few of the fine points, and certainly not my favorite by this author, but overall an enjoyable read.

I love how this little family is growing. What good guys to take on raising a teenager. The ending was India anticlimactic but over all a very nicely done story. Looking forward to the conclusion in book 3.

This was a very satisfying sequel to Bareback, thankfully without the emotional pain of the first book. Not that there's wasn't emotional pain, just not the same as in the first. It took me over 15 months to go back to this couple to pick up their sequel. I was way too traumatized by the cheating in the first one.
I'm happy to see how mature Tor has become. He's a rock for Jake, not only in the days following the death of Jake's sister, but throughout the story. And it's Tor that keeps reminding Jake of the importance of communication in their relationship. Jake is trying to come to terms with accepting responsibility for Lissa's son Jacob and is scattered and trying to control everything in his life to a point where Tor finally calls a halt and does something endearing to bring Jake out of his tailspin.
Yes, I really liked this one and would recommend it to everyone who's read Bareback. And, even though Bareback broke my heart, I've still recommended it to others because it's just such a fantastic story. This couple is solid now and they rank way up there on my list of all-time favorite established couples. Don't miss this one!

When I finished Bareback, the first of this series, I wanted more, and so I was glad when this sequel became known to me.
This story didn't have the steam of it's predecessor, but it did have a touching story that I did not want to put down.
It was great to see Jake and Tor, still together, still working on making a life together.
The beginning was sad, and the author showed a great deal of talent by making me feel the sadness of the characters. I went through the pain with them, and was overjoyed at how at the other side, everything didn't just fade away. The time it takes to overcome that sort of grief wasn't ignored.
Tor seemed to have done the most growing personally, but I think he needed to the most, so his character development made me a very happy reader.
To end my happy reader ramblings, all I can say about this book, is that it was very different then the first novel in the series, I enjoyed if just as much, proving that if the story involves my emotions enough, I really don't need mountains of steam to keep me happy.

A return to familiar characters, who now face a very different kind of challenge when they have to raise a teen boy. Jake and Tor are very interesting guys, and I have liked them since "Bareback". Now, we get to see another side of them, frankly, it is terrific. The novel is well paced, emotionally on target, and the sex is hot as usual.
This one can stand alone, if you haven't read their other stories, but I would recommend getting them so you know the back story. The author is wonderful, and knows how to pace the read and keep the chapters short so you can read a little or a lot.
I read this through last night in one sitting, and have to say, it is alternately funny, touching, sexy and all together a fun and worthwhile experience. Give Tor and Jake a chance, and you will definitely not regret it.

Great follow up
4.5 ⭐️
Great follow up to bareback. I really enjoyed seeing the guys tackle new issues well and in a mature way that helped not hindered their relationship. This one really saw Tor step up.
The first part of the book was emotional for me and worked well. It was great seeing Tor stand up and take care of his man.
The addition of Jacob to the ranch went well and being he was a teenager I was expecting more pushing from him. It was good to see how they all handled problems that came up. I really liked that when Jake closed off and worried too much, Tor called him on it and helped him fix it.

I finished Natural Disaster today and loved it. Bareback was maybe a bit more to my liking, as it was the beginning of a relationship that had his ups and downs. The sequel however gives you more an insight on their relationship, how it developped, how things happened in the first book influenced behaviour in the sequel, how a telephone call can change your life in such a way that you realise that your relationship is rock solid and mature ... maybe more than you thought.

Continuation of the story between one of my favorite couples Jake and Thor. I loved reading the next chapter of their lives. It is a very sweet, emotional story and I loved it.

I loved this book just as much as I did the first one. Once I started reading it, I just couldn’t put it down. I really loved Tor and Jake’s relationship. It was wonderful to read how Tor stepped up and helped Jake during the tragedy of his sister’s death. I also loved how he called out Jake on his behavior and forced him to make changes when he was stressing and over-working himself. I loved their nephew Jacob and thought he fit well in the ranch. There was a part of the book where Jacob had trouble in school that I thought they handled particularly well. All in all a wonderful book and a great follow-up to Bareback.

"Natural Disaster" is a textbook example of "less is more". There were far fewer sex scenes in this story than there were in "Bareback" and the book was made a lot better for it. Fewer sex scenes meant that space could open up for more of the plot to take place and for character study, and the sex scenes that were written in then stood out in gratifying relief from the rest of the book.
By this point in their relationship, Jake and Tor have moved beyond the soi-disant adolescent phase of unrelenting, mind-numbing, steamy-screamy sex. They are now very much partners in a more complete sense of the word and still very much in love with each other. The situations they are thrown into in this story highlight very well how a couple in a maturing relationship together deal with the many vexations that beset them, and fend off the brickbats that life throws at them. Both men remain sympathetic characters; Tor's previous willfulness and stubbornness has morphed into a source of grounding and constancy for both of them. Jake's development is a little more problematic. What was before his natural alpha-male, in-charge state has now morphed into a tendency to be overbearing and over-controlling. His "leadership"-style has distended into something both annoyingly strident and patently brittle, his ability to tend to every detail has now changed into a tendency to worry needlessly, driving Tor and everyone else around him to distraction.
How these two men resolve the fundamentally changed natures of their character and how they deal with each other make up the majority of the book and make for an ultimately very satisfying read. Both men face the reality that life itself promises nothing, that nothing is forever and that no one, no matter how much you love them, is guaranteed to be with you the next day, the next hour or the next minute. Perhaps what is most important is that you you grab with all your might and savour with every fiblre of your being, every precious moment that you are graced to be be with someone you love so much, for who knows if he will still be with you tomorrow?

September 28, 2011In comparison to the previous novel, Bareback, Natural Disaster is way more “comfort zone” read. Bareback was one of the first M/M romance I read, and maybe I was “naïve”, maybe I particularly don’t like when there is a cheating, but I remember that it was a reading that left me quite upset, not really in a bad way, but more like I was too much involved in the trouble of the main characters and even if in the end boy gets boy, in any case it was a long and troubled journey.
Aside for the simple fact that Natural Disaster is shorter (in length and also in time span) than Bareback, it’s also more sweet and romantic; true, it starts with Jake losing his sister Lissa, and suddenly being responsible for his teenager nephew Jacob, but from the relationship point of view, his bond with Tor is strong and above all exclusive. Hands up, one of the thing I didn’t like so much of Bareback was the easiness how Jake and Tor fell in bed with other men, true, it was a shared “falling”, but I think that in a way it influenced the following trouble they had in the relationship. In Natural Disaster there is not this issue, and the only friction is when Jake almost OCD syndrome surfaces, and Tor has to take him back into the safety of his arms and their relationship.
There is of course a lot of sex, but it’s not the lion share of the story: not only Jake and Tor have a lot of “sweet” moments together, like cuddling and kissing, but they have also to face some personal commitment alone from their couple, like when Jake has to take care of Jacob, or when Tor is alone on his business travels.
If you like the “Marlboro man” idea, the country western atmosphere and the small town attitude, in its positive and negative shade, Natural Disaster is for sure a good picking. As often in this case, it felt like homemade pie and it was warm as just out of the oven feeling.

I found this novel a very satisfying follow-up to the original, even more consistent and polished than Bareback (which, by the way, was marred by some glaring typographical errors, at least in the paper edition I'd bought, which affected my enjoyment of the novel).
I've read that certain readers were a bit disappointed in the characters in Natural Disaster, compared to Bareback, because they couldn't recognise them from the previous novel. I thought, however, that this was the whole point of Natural Disaster: it's meant to show how much the characters have matured, grown and how much stronger their commitment to each other is, which in turn makes them stronger in the face of new problems and challenges life throws at them from the very beginning of the book. This natural progression from Bareback was one of the most satisfying aspects of this novel, in my view.
I also found a very interesting parallel here in Jake having to deal with a bereavement in his family, whereas Tor had to deal with his own bereavement in Bareback, and how through such a tragic events these two men become even more attached and committed to each other, despite some misunderstandings or temporary setbacks.
Another thing I loved about this book is how capably the author showed Jake (and Tor) in a parental role they were absolutely unprepared for. I was very proud of how dignified Jake was when called upon to act as parent to his nephew after the latter retaliated with violence in his school against a classmate's homophobic slurs.
And the secondary characters were as engaging as they were in Bareback, if not more. They were well drawn and through their dialogue and interactions with the main characters we got to learn a lot about the protagonists and their character progression.

I enjoyed this book so much more than the first one.
There's no unnecessary angst or ridiculous behaviour, it's a wonderful story of learning to adjust to situations that are out of your control.
Watching Jake try and deal with his grief and hold his family together was gut wrenching, although he did it all with the wonderful support of Tor.
Jess needs a slap round the face with a wet kipper. (Lisa that's just for you ;-))
I didn't really buy into James disappearing so easily. He was willing to physically track Jake down in the first book just to take a swing at him, it was unbelievable that he would just walk away from his nephew. Especially as he was left in the care of Jake, the brother he hates.
I loved watching Jacob grow and I enjoyed Jake and Tor's relationship.
However, Tor did piss me off with his 'know it all' attitude. I felt that Jake's worries and concerns were genuine.
Once again the writing is excellent and held my complete attention.

I read about Jake and Tor with pleasure. In this sequel to Bareback Jake has to face many things: managing the ranch, the loss of his sister, raising his nephew. It seems he is in control and balanced, but by the end of the book we realize that he's working himself to exhaustion, trying to be the perfect manager and uncle, and neglecting his own needs, without asking for help. Tor is his sanity check this time. The book is not as angsty and dramatic as the first, it's also shorter, but it has such tender moments between the two men that it makes you yearn for that kind of connection. Maybe it's because the first book was my first m/m, it made a tremendous impact on me, so I felt that this one is less intense. This is still one of my favorite couples ever, though.

I was really wanting to love this book, started it thinking, this is going to be great my guys are back! Bareback left me wanting more of them, but sadly that’s not what happened.
It didn’t take long for me to realize this is not the Jake and Tor from the first book. Who are they and what have they done with Jake and Tor? I want them back! I get it people mature, relationships change with time but not that much time had passed between the two books. I felt cheated....
I thought Jake and Tor lost all the intensity they had in the first book, I missed that, it’s what I loved about them! Had this story been on its own that would have been fine, they were likable MC’s and the story was fine but I wanted more.

Jake and Tor are my favorite couple. I would read about them making a grocery list. I just simply love this couple. Natural Disaster is not like Bareback. This book, Jake and Tor have been together for 6 years. Their world is changed with one phone call. This book is a good read. If you read Bareback and enjoyed it, then you will enjoy this book as well. Natural Disaster is well written and you can't help but to fall in love with Jake and Tor again.
While reading this book I have discovered that I am such a Jake. I worry about everything and take everything on my own shoulders.

After the huge emotional roller coaster that we know as Bareback, I needed a break before I took these guys on again.
This book was great...it was less agnsty, the sex wasn't so crazy but still so hott and there was a bit less tension (oh we still see them forgetting they need to 'talk' about things) but it was filled to the top with love and those tender moments that are oh so sweet even after years of being together.
