Why read it?

1 author picked Cowboys and Kisses as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a sucker for a sapphic historical romance! I love all the secret glances and tortured moments that play such a part of stories set in times long before now.

This one, while a relatively short novel, packs a mighty punch. Kallmaker’s two main characters are so very different, yet so obviously right for each other from the moment it becomes a possibility. Set against the backdrop of the colonization of the West in America, there’s realistic yet not too heavy brutality, acerbic observations on the vast gulf between the sexes at that time, and authentic settings and action.
