This was Pen and Kink’s first anthology, released a year ago tomorrow. To mark the occasion, we are shining the light on the romantic western and the stories inside by asking our contributors some questions. We’ll share their responses over the week.<\/p>\n

Julie James is a favorite; I just read IT HAPPENED ONE WEDDING recently. Or, let’s be honest, I’ll probably read THE HATING GAME by Sally Thorne for the fifth or sixth time.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text admin_label=”HR 30%” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”3593″ background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial admin_label=”Testimonial” author=”Anna Kyle” job_title=”%22Coming Up Roses%22″ url_new_window=”off” quote_icon=”on” use_background_color=”on” background_color=”#edf4f4″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.49″]<\/p>\n My favorite summer read is a meaty, multi-book epic story. In different summers, I devoured Martin\u2019s A Song of Ice and Fire series, Hobbs\u2019 Fitz and the Fool series, and Larsson\u2019s Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series. This summer will be less\u2026hmm, gruesome and intense. Less beheadings, more love please. I want fun, funny, romance\/adventures so I plan on re-reading the Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series and finishing up Wendy Sparrow\u2019s Servants of Fate series and Randi Perrin\u2019s Earthbound Angels series.

This anthology is crammed full of hot romances featuring those kinds of rough-around-the-edges alpha personalities\u2013stories about the kind of men and women who ride horses during the day and their partners at night, who speak few words but mean every one of them, and who would never break their own personal code of honor. We’re talking about cowboys… and cowgirls.<\/p>\n This anthology contains seven romances with a Western theme that run the gamut from sweet to sizzling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GET YOUR COPY TODAY!<\/strong><\/p>\n
