Recommendation: This collection of vividly narrated short stories follows heroines on their journey towards satisfying their semi-romantic, adventure-seeking cowboys craving, ultimately discovering their own strength and resilience in the process. Pam Houston's Cowboys Are My Weakness is a modern work of genius that amazingly captures the nuances of modern women and their struggles with love and relationship, and it's especially recommended to those who are looking for a unique blend of adventure and romance.
