Ride em cowboy! Thats what youll be shouting once youve read the Cowboy Up anthology. Editor Rob Knight has gathered a great selection of stories from authors like Sean Michael, BA Tortuga and Parhelion, featuring cowboys from around the globe and across more than a hundred years. These stories all illustrate the best and worst of the breed. Stubborn, independent, and sexy as all get out, the cowboys of Cowboy Up will leave you smiling, sometimes crying, but always admiring the tough, rugged man that rides the range and keeps his bedroll warm at night. Get yourself a cowboy today!

 Cowboys anyone September 6, 2008
This book wasn't quite what I had expected. Like any anthology there is wide variety of writing, but there were some real gems among its stories.
Some are very good tales of gay romance.
Highly Recommended July 26, 2008

There are some EXCELLENT short stories here! They deal with subtlety, they deal with the day to day life of cowboys on the open range, they deal with love experienced but not spoken. Only one or two are overdone as far as the sex scenes. Otherwise, the several authors featured do a very credible job of how difficult a relationship can be when it's between two dominant males. What surprised me was how well the female authors did with the theme, though I don't think they are on a par with gay male writers. The book goes on my second shelf.
 An amazing introduction to the genre August 25, 2007

I was recommened this anthology by a friend as a good first book to try in the m/m erotica genre, and WOW, I was blown away! I enjoyed every single story, and I can honestly say that that has never been true of any kind of anthology I've read before. I liked some more than others - Stormclouds, Dry Bones and Surrender were exceptional - but I didn't dislike any of them. All were instantly engaging *and* believeable in a very short space, whereas so many other anthology stories I've read have not been able to pull that off.
I was also pleasantly surprised at how romantic the stories were - I appreciated the hot sex, but was really hooked by the depth of emotion portrayed within such a broad range of characters. I even teared up several times, and in my head all of the couples who might live happily ever after, do.
Kudos, also, to editer Rob Knight, who put them all together for me. I will absolutely be recommending this to friends, but I'm not sharing my copy!

Wow! Rob Knight found some truly HOT stories here. I liked them all and felt they all had not only sizzling sex, but, more importantly, some really good plot lines. Some of them should have been written as full length books, especially my favorite: Jourdan Lane's "Surrender." Hot, sexy cowboys steaming with mutual attraction and, at the same time, serious conflicts between them. Lane's story could well be the core of a much longer, even more satisfying book developing not only the two protagonists but a couple of the secondary characters as well. Not all of the stories ended "happily ever after," but they were satisfying in their conclusions. This book is well worth a try, and it will prove to be hard (so to speak) to put down.

This book contains amazing stand alone stories about life and love. I was expecting just erotic interludes, but this book is sooo much more. Each story envoked a different emotion from me, and no two stories are the same. I was most surprised by Sean Michael's story. My fav was Chris Owen's story. She is fast becoming my number one.
I recommend this book, as one reviewer said, truly a "treasure".
