Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 2006

The real rodeo starts when the spurs are hung up and the chaps come off.
Twenty-four stories of ropin’ and ridin’ on the open range.
Saddle up and go for a long, hot ride. There's nothing in this world like a sexy cowboy...mounting another cowboy. In this fiery collection of gay erotic fiction, today's top erotica writers offer up stories of devious cattle rustlers seducing naive farm hands; dangerous outlaws breaking in small-town deputies; young, hung buckaroos wrangling each other; and duels not on the streets but between the sheets. These maverick writers take readers on a hot and heavy, no-holds-barred trip through the Old West to the New West, where "ramrod," "six-shooter," and "hog-tied" take on entirely new meanings.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Home on the Raunch, September 18, 2006

From the 1860's to present day, Cowboys covers a wide variety of western themed men and their sexual doins' You'll like these guys, everyone from an Hawaiian cowboy to a graphics designer is vibrant and no two stories are even remotely similar save many of them take place in the West. A strength of this book is that it introduces men discovering their sexuality in a time when what they want to do just isn't, publicly, acknowledged. A sheriff, a country doctor, a drifter all come to terms with what they want and, always, get it. There is a sentimental undercurrent to many of these men: The loneliness of isolation makes them as interested in the "buddy" aspect of being with another man as the sex. You want to pull up a chair, sit by a pot bellied stove and get acquainted. You'll like the guy next to you and pull for his happiness and sexual fulfillment. And, yes, the sex is great. The various authors approach to sex is a function of the story and not the focus. It's the guys in the ten gallon hats and their hankering after the bartender or a new drifter freshly come to herd cattle and the owner of same.
Spend a few pleasant hours meetin' some new folks. You'll like what you read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag, September 12, 2007

This review is from: Cowboys: Gay Erotic Tales (Paperback)

Cowboys is a very mixed collection of short stories, mixed in time period, location, and quality. The collection starts very promisingly with a touching tale about a young doctor and the local sheriff; and a further titillating story about a precocious young cowboy and his eventual success in breaking in his boss certainly hits the mark. The remaining stories really fail to make an impression, with some typifying what soon becomes ineffective in erotica: long drawn out passages of clichéd grunts and groans, with little in the way of a story let alone anything imaginative.
I thoroughly enjoyed the better stories in the collection, I found some interesting but not remarkable, was unmoved by others, and gay up on the very worst.

As with all collections you get the good with the bad and this book is no exception. There are some very good stories, some fair stories and some I had to skip all together.
