Cinderella's fairy godmother just turned hot. And male. Very, very male. My three priorities in life have always been: the horse ranch I manage with my brothers, my family, and my best friend, Sophie West. Sophie is the ranch’s horse trainer—or as we call her, our horse whisper. She’s hot as hell, but mixing business with pleasure never ends well. Been there. Done that. Had it branded on my ass. But apparently Sophie’s biological clock is ticking. She’s let it slip that she’s ready to find her soul mate or at least a nice man. The first problem? She’s socially awkward around any guy she’s interested in. The second problem? If she doesn’t find her true love in town, our ranch could lose the best damn horse trainer around. Problem number three? She wants me to be her “fairy godfather” and help her become more confident. We’re talking lessons on kissing and clothing-optional activities so that she can ask out the new vet in town. Which is problem number four—and the biggest issue of all. I want to be her Prince Charming. But I’m going to have to put my heart on the line to win hers. Once Upon a Cowboy is a standalone romance. All the books in the series can be read in any order.

This work shows in detail the emergence and consolidation of U.S. commercial broadcasting economically, politically, and ideologically. This process was met by organized opposition and a general level of public antipathy that has been almost entirely overlooked by previous scholarship. McChesney highlights the activities and arguments of this early broadcast reform movement of the 1930s. The reformers argued that commercial broadcasting was inimical to the communication requirements of a democratic society and that the only solution was to have a dominant role for nonprofit and noncommercial broadcasting. Although the movement failed, McChesney argues that it provides important lessons not only for communication historians and policymakers, but for those concerned with media and how they are used.

An intimate account of everyday life in Somaliland, explored through an ever-evolving musical genre of love songs. At first listen, both music and talk about love are conspicuously absent from Somaliland’s public soundscapes. The lingering effects of war, the contested place of music in Islam, and gendered norms of emotional expression limit opportunities for making music and sharing personal feelings. But while Christina J. Woolner was researching peacebuilding in Somaliland’s capital, Hargeysa, she kept hearing snippets of songs. Almost all of these, she learned, were about love. In these songs, poets, musicians, and singers collaborate to give voice to personal love aspirations and often painful experiences of love-suffering. Once in circulation, the intimate and heartfelt voices of love songs provide rare and deeply therapeutic opportunities for dareen-wadaag (feeling-sharing). In a region of political instability, these songs also work to powerfully unite listeners on the basis of shared vulnerability, transcending social and political divisions and opening space for a different kind of politics. Taking us from 1950s recordings preserved on dusty cassettes to new releases on YouTube and live performances at Somaliland’s first postwar music venue—where the author herself eventually takes the stage—Woolner offers an account of love songs in motion that reveals the capacity of music to connect people and feelings across time and space, creating new possibilities for relating to oneself and others.
