14 Non-White Western Romance Novels
In my experience, cowboy romances, or western romances in general, usually end up being very white. These cowboys tend to have a “tan” because of staying too much under the sun, but it doesn’t erase the simple fact that… they are always white. Where are the non-white cowboys? The ranchers? You might be asking yourself that question. Lucky you I’m here to tell you that there are non-white western romance novels and below this you will find some of my all-time favorites.
This all came to be because Suzanne from Love in Panels tweeted this to me, so I obviously had to say: LET’S DO IT.
I need @thebookvoyagers to do a post about cowboys/cowgirls of color next because we got Rebekah and Laquette and, of course, Ms Bev. There must be more and the world needs to know.

Everything you need to know about Tempest by Ms. Bev is this: Rich heroine greets her new husband by shooting him in the shoulder.
