Book Description
For the first time, you can own five of Mari Carr’s hottest cowboy romances in one spicy anthology. It is a must-have for fans of alpha cowboys and an amazing way to “test drive” five of Mari Carr’s most popular series, including Sparks in Texas, Compass, Just Because, Boys of Fall, and Cowboy Heat. Waiting for Love Hank is pretty fond of Macie’s stories and her off-color jokes and basically everything else she has to offer. After the death of his beloved wife, Hank found his way to Sparks Barbeque, where Macie caught his eye. The more time he spends with her, the more Hank starts to think that maybe lightning can strike twice. And while all Macie knows is keeping it casual, Hank isn’t willing to dance to her tune. Because he wants Macie in his bed…and his life…forever. Red Zone Rancher Joel has a problem. He and his best friend, Oakley, are both hot for the same woman, sexy bartender, Sadie. And while she’s admitted an attraction to them as well, she refuses to choose between them. Until a little too much champagne at a wedding reception leads to an unexpected sizzling encounter between the three of them, kicking off a no-strings affair. However, things get complicated when it becomes clear there’s nothing casual about their feelings. Winter’s Thaw Sienna has it all figured out. Until her long-time boyfriend Josh throws a ringer into her plans, requesting a “break.” Now she’s left alone, questioning what her heart has always believed to be true love. When a tragic accident leaves Daniel unable to pursue his career as a professional bull rider, he finds himself at Compass Ranch. One look at Sienna has Daniel envisioning things he never imagined wanting—a permanent home, love, marriage—and he’s willing to use all the red-hot tricks in his sexual arsenal to melt the ice surrounding Sienna’s broken heart. Because You Love Me Bridget’s life is shot to hell—literally—when she witnesses the murder of her best friend, Lyle. Protective custody? What a joke. Tired of cold, lonely beds and living in fear, Bridget convinces her guardian cop she’s safer off the grid. It doesn’t take twins Mark and Matt long to figure out two things. Bridget’s not only in trouble, she is trouble—they both want her. Between the brothers’ hot, hard bodies, Bridget finally feels safe—and loved. But when a hit man tracks her down, the last thing she wants is to put them in danger. Spitfire Rem has loved Liv forever, but she was way too young for his desires, so he joined the Marines, bided his time. After his father’s death, Rem comes home for good—ready to reclaim his family’s ranch and his woman. But the spitfire he finds brawling in the roughest bar in town is not the girl he left behind. Liv recognizes trouble when she sees it, but she’d be a fool to resist Rem’s seductive demands. Starting in the barn, they use every available body part to bring each other pleasure. To make up for the past, Rem will have to do a hell of a lot more than just satisfy her sexually—but it’s a damn good start.

Book Description
The dime novel and dude ranch, the barbecue and rodeo, the suburban ranch house and the urban cowboy—all are a direct legacy of nineteenth-century cowboy life that still enlivens American popular culture. Yet at the same time, reports of environmental destruction or economic inefficiency have motivated calls for restricted livestock grazing on public lands or even for an end to ranching altogether. In Let the Cowboy Ride, Starrs offers a detailed and comprehensive look at one of America's most enduring institutions. Richly illustrated with more than 130 photographs and maps, the book combines the authentic detail of an insider's view (Starrs spent six years working cattle on the high desert Great Basin range) with a scholar's keen eye for objective analysis.

Book Description
What are the connections between cattle branding and Christian salvation, between livestock castration and square dancing, between rustling and the making of spurs and horsehair bridles in prison, between children's coloring books and cowboy poetry as it is practiced today? The Cowboy usesliterary, historical, folkloric, and pop cultural sources to document ways in which cowboys address religion, gender, economics, and literature. Arguing that cowboys are defined by the work they do, Allmendinger sets out in each chapter to investigate one form of labor (such as branding, castration,or rustling) that cowboys perform in their "work culture." He then looks at early oral poems that cowboys recited around campfires, on trail drives, at roundups, and at home in their bunkhouses, and at later poems, histories and autobiographies written by cowboys--most of which have never beforebeen studied by scholars. He discovers that these texts not only deal with work but with larger concerns, including art, morality, spirituality, and male sexuality. In addition to spotlighting little-known texts, art, and archival sources, The Cowboy examines the works of Twain, Steinbeck, Cather,Norris, Dana, McMurtry, and others, and features more than 60 historic photographs, many of which have not been published until now.

Book Description
As business interests have commercialized the American West and publishers and studios have created compelling imagery, the expectations of readers and moviegoers have influenced perceptions of the cowboy as a hero. This book describes the evolution of the cowboy hero as a mythic persona created by dime novels, television and Hollywood. Much of our concept of the cowboy comes to us from movies and the book's main focus is his changing image in cinema. The development of the hero image and the fictional West is traced from early novels and films to the present, along with shifting audience expectations and economic pressures.
