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.

📚 BOOKS MENTIONED:

• Nuts by Alice Clayton
• Branded as Trouble by Lorelei James
• A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon
• Married to an Alien Cowboy by Ursa Dax
• Tender is the Storm by Johanna Lindsey
