A Cowboys Don't Story Maury Garcia's one of the greatest bull riders in the worldâand one of the biggest liars. Can he turn forbidden love with a rodeo rookie into a lasting romance? Ever since his brother was killed because he was gay, Maury's worked to take his brother's place as the bull rider, the provider, and the ideal of his family's macho expectations. The only thing Maury's ever done for himself is buy a secret ranch so he can get away from the responsibilities he's chained himself to. Then he meets Tristão Silva, the younger brother of the one man who could rob Maury of his bull riding championship. Tristão may be a world-class bull rider in his own right, but his kind, gentle nature and sexy samba hips make Maury long for something beyond his selfless, sexless life. The two men's lives are worlds apart, even if they're both buckling under family expectations. Will their future last beyond an eight-second ride?

Cowboys Don't Samba took a little while to take off for me, but once it did - it really did. Maury was living with his doubts, his fears, and his confusion. And until he met Tristao, he didn't even think he'd ever find happiness. Lain managed to make most of the macho bull-riders in this story understand that love is love. And that it's nobody's business what a couple does when they're alone.
I especially enjoyed that even if both of the men's families appeared to be against them, the men still found it in them to fight for love and happiness.
Well written, in third person point of view, Cowboys Don't Samba made me really happy, and I truly enjoyed the story.
