Glynnis, glad for the good review, as I downloaded this! I'm going to merge your post with the Free Book topic, thanks!

Warning: This title contains the following: lots of explicit sex, going strong long after the cows come home, graphic language that'd make your mama blush, light bondage with bullropes, menage-a-trois, and -- yee-haw! -- hot nekkid cowboy man-love. Sounds like a fun weekend  |

Sounds like a fun weekend Sounds like a Brokeback Mountain knockoff written by someone who doesn't understand what made that movie actually work. But I 1-clicked anyway since I liked Brokeback (such a beautiful, well-written movie). After all, free is free.  |

Must be something only a woman could love. Even at free it doesn't pay nearly enough to get me to read that.

<--- Not a woman. And I click everything that's free, regardless. Doesn't mean I'll actually read everything. With Kindle, I don't have to worry about finding space on my bookshelf. My 16 GB card will handle everything I throw at it for years to come. So I get all of the freebies because you never know if something is a hidden gem. Doubt this will be, but still. |

the one downside is that Amazon thinks I like that stuff and keeps recommending more on my Kindle and on the Website  |

Click on the "Recommended" link, then on "see all recommendations" and you should be able to check/uncheck books you don't like or that you want it not to use for recommendations. |

I click most of what's free but if it has elements I won't tolerate or is a genre I just don't read then I pass on it. This fits that category so I'll pass on this one.

Me too. Knowing me, I'd faint while reading, drop my Kindle and break it. I am so not good with blood and gore- |

The Cowboy in the book is a Cowgril so it is not Brokeback Mountain material.
At least that is what the book description says.
I'll let you know when I finish reading it.

According to the reviews on Amazon.com there is a certain amount of m/m in the book. I haven't read it personally so I can't tell you, but it looks as though there are some gay scenes in it. |

Yup, went back and re-read it. It is not a deal breaker for me.

Let's not forget that so many classics need not be BOUGHT. Amazon is selling the Curious Case of Benjamin Button (F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story that is now a movie starring Brad Pitt) for about $7.00 or so. ManyBooks.com offers it as a free download. But, I'm sure you all know that by now. Just thought I'd remind.
Did not know that - heading over there right now - Thanks!  |

Actually you only save $5.50 since that's the Kindle price and Amazon misleads with their savings figure. Also, that book should be recommended with reserve and warning for inappropriate content as mentioned on it's page:
Warning: This title contains the following: lots of explicit sex, going strong long after the cows come home, graphic language that'd make your mama blush, light bondage with bullropes, menage-a-trois, and -- yee-haw! -- hot nekkid cowboy man-love.

OK, so the free Cowboy books was ok. I thought she spent too much time on character development. I guess it was a nice touch but not what I was looking for. (shrugs)

Keep the free books coming folks! I'll probably be going through and pruning a few extraneous comments today, although you've been pretty good about only posting book recommendations and mini reviews. As always, I'll try not to unnecessarily impact your post counts, especially the new folk! Betsy  |
