Q: What do you get when you mash up Blazing Saddles with a western romance writer? A: USA Today Bestselling author Paula Altenburg’s new series! Book one in the Roped In Time rom-coms (honestly, com-roms) is The Cowboy Contract. Beau Jones is a music star forced by his agent to go to cowboy camp, but Burning Scrub is really a cult-turned-off-the-grid-commune where wealthy clientele pay for an elite “authentic” Wild West experience. Beau is roped into learning how to cowboy AND perform, and his gorgeous roommate and caretaker is Dr. Belle Forsythe, who’s at Burning Scrub to pay off her student debt. Plus there’s some family drama, kidnappings, hangings, and horses. Paula and I discuss the weird stuff she learned while writing about this series, including cults and bear fences, and what makes a good romance dynamic between her MCs.
