Reading Under the Covers: A Romance Novel Podcast
Ready to complete the Blooming Acres Farm prompt in Romanceopoly 2025? In this episode of Reading Under the Covers, I’m sharing 5 cowboy and farmer romance books that bring big rural romance energy — from soft grumpy farmers to tattooed cowboys and even a chaotic alien rancher.
These books are perfect for anyone looking to check off the farm square with something emotionally satisfying (or totally unhinged in the best way). I’m also including a retro 1980s cowboy romance that ties into my new Once Upon a Genre series on Substack — a decade-by-decade look at how romance has evolved.
