Book Description
From USA Today Bestselling and Top 10 Kindle Unlimited All-Star author, Liz Isaacson, comes a brand new Christian cowboy romance series. Stuffed with family saga, your favorite tropes - like fake dating, enemies to lovers, forbidden relationships, office romance, and unrequited crushes - you'll fall in love at the Quinn Family Ranch! A fake ad brings a cowboy to Georgia's door just in time for all the Quinn family holiday parties, so she hires Logan to be her boyfriend. Nothing can go wrong with this plan...except she might lose her heart to her newly contracted cowboy. Georgia Quinn doesn't particularly love being one of the dozens of Quinns in Quinn Valley. Her family is just so loud, you know? And she's certainly not looking forward to a holiday season full of family get-togethers when she has to do everything alone after her painful break-up months ago. When her granny mentions the holidays would be more fun with a boyfriend, Georgia seizes onto the idea and puts out an ad for someone to come fix the barn at the ranch. But what they really need to fix is her heart, and there's no one more suited for her than carpenter and cowboy Logan Locke. Logan's the quiet type, and he hasn't had a serious relationship in a long time. But he desperately needs the money, and if Georgia needs her barn finished or a date to a party, he doesn't care as long as he gets paid. Georgia and Logan pose as the perfect couple, showing her ex that she's moved on when she hasn't and his family that he can be serious about something when he never has been before. But how badly will they both crash and burn if they let their feelings become real in a relationship that is anything but?

Continue this contemporary western clean romance series with LAST CHANCE COWBOY - an enemies to lovers clean romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Liz Isaacson! You'll get later-in-life romance in every book. Curvy heroines. And sweet and swoony cowboys, all with a Christian romance theme! This book has a billionaire cowboy and an aspiring social media chef - read today! Adele feeds everyone at Last Chance Ranch - and she secretly makes food videos to pay her debts. When billionaire cowboy Carson shows up on the ranch, things really heat up in the kitchen... To get away from her ex-husband and start over, Adele Woodruff has followed her best friend to Last Chance Ranch, proving she'll do almost anything to earn a buck. After all, she doesn't need the debt collectors coming up into the hills to get their money. In her spare time, she makes foodie videos for TastySpot, a delectable pleasure that fulfills her desire to be a chef one day. But culinary school costs money, and Adele doesn't have much of that. When Carson Chatworth shows up at Last Chance Ranch, she doesn't have much patience for him either. He's always strutting around in his fancy jeans that look like they've never seen the inside of a barn, and Adele can spot a rich man when she sees one—and she's had enough of those, thank you very much. Carson is indeed rich. A billionaire even, after the sale of his generational land in Texas once oil was discovered on it. The sale helped get his daddy and deadbeat brother out of debt, but it meant Carson had to leave the ranch he loved. When Carson and Adele are partnered up for the goat yoga activities on the ranch, she'll have to set aside her presumptions about the handsome cowboy, and he'll have to try to find a way inside that cabin...and inside her heart.

The Western
Author: David Lusted
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317874900
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The Western introduces the novice to the pleasures and the meanings of the Western film, shares the excitement of the genre with the fan, addresses the suspicions of the cynic and develops the knowledge of the student. The Western is about the changing times of the Western, and about how it has been understood in film criticism. Until the 1980s, more Westerns were made than any other type of film. For fifty of those years, the genre was central to Hollywood's popularity and profitability. The Western explores the reasons for its success and its latter-day decline among film-makers and audiences alike. Part I charts the history of the Western film and its role in film studies. Part II traces the origins of the Western in nineteenth-century America, and in its literary, theatrical and visual imagining. This sets the scene to explore the many evolving forms in successive chapters on early silent Westerns, the series Western, the epic, the romance, the dystopian, the elegiac and, finally, the revisionist Western. The Western concludes with an extensive bibliography, filmography and select further reading. Over 200 Westerns are discussed, among them close accounts of classics such as Duel in the Sun, The Wild Bunch and Unforgiven, formative titles like John Ford's epic The Iron Horse, and early cowboy star William S. Hart's The Silent One together with less familiar titles that deserve wider recognition, including Comanche Station, Pursued and Ulzana's Raid.

Author: Andy Adams
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN: 8026876539
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1296
Book Description
"The Log of a Cowboy” is an account of a five-month drive of 3,000 cattle from Brownsville, Texas, to Montana during 1882 along the Great Western Cattle Trail. Although the book is fiction, it is based on Adams's own experiences, and it is considered by many to be literature's best account of cowboy life. Adams was disgusted by the unrealistic cowboy fiction being published in his time; The Log of a Cowboy was his response. The Chicago Herald has said: "As a narrative of cowboy life, Andy Adams' book is clearly the real thing. It carries its own certificate of authentic first-hand experience on every page.” This edition also includes Adams other famous western novels like The Outlet, A Texas Matchmaker, Reed Anthony, Cowman and The Wells Brothers. Andy Adams (1859–1935) was an American writer of western fiction and was born in Indiana. Since childhood Andy used to help his parents with the cattle and horses on the family farm. Due to this Andy's works have been lauded widely for his first hand and authentic portrayal of the life of a cowboy unlike his contemporaries like Owen Wister who romanticized it.
