Gay Cowboy Romances That Will Be Your New Obsession
Is there anything more American than the image of a cowboy, riding his horse into the sunset? If you find that appealing, you&#;re in luck! Not only is he handsome, but he’s male lover too, and destined for romantic adventures with other hot men. That’s what the gay cowboy intimacy genre brings to the table.
Gay cowboy romance is a subgenre of cowboy romance, also known as Western Romance. It includes many of the frequent characteristics found in your typical romance novel, with a twist. Cowboy passion typically takes place in rural, western U.S., commonly on a ranch or farm. And of course, while cowboys are the focus, they can also center around farm hands, bull riders, and contain other Western themes.
While cowboy romance is a niche genre, and its homosexual subgenre even niche-er, there’s still lots of devotion to find. If any of this has piqued your interest, keep reading to discover what might become your newest obsession!

A River of Time by Dale Chase
- It's when Luke Straily returns to Gunnison, Colorado, after a twelve-year absence and reluctantly heads to the cattle ranch owned by Jack Hinch, the only man he’s ever loved. Looking to make amends for an intolerable act, Luke hires on at the ranch, but Jack makes it perfectly clear he's unable to overlook or forget just yet. It'll take everything in Luke's influence to set things right with the man he wronged and placed in jeopardy before he ran away, but he aims to earn back Jack's reliance no matter the personal charge. Complicating matters, though, is ranch foreman Tim Dutcher, who’s been enjoying a sexual relationship with the handsome rancher during the intervening years and thoroughly resents Luke's intrusion. As Luke and Jack gradually rebuild their severed friendship and renew their former passion, jealousy flares, leading to a volatile confrontation.
One of my favorite things about queer books is the way they’re fit to tackle genres in which queerness was once declared unwelcome and carve out a spot for queer narratives that remind readers that we are, and always have been, a part of the story. This is particularly true of the Western genre, which has lengthy been viewed by certain parties as a bastion of “American manhood”, occupied of rugged, super hetero cis white men who, depending on when the novel was written, either inspired or were inspired by the heroes of classic Western films. No gays allowed. (If you want to see how wrong-headed that sentiment is, Kaz Rowe has a fantastic video on the history of gay cowboy movies and how that history was shaped.)

Not only does the frequent form of the Western genre conveniently forget that a significant portion of cowboys and settlers in the West were Dark, but also that forms of queerness were ordinary in the period of the 19th century we think of as the Old West. Chris Packard has a book on this topic, Queer Cowboys, that is well
