46: Lila Dawes, Cowboy Romance Author of Redemption, on Grief, Forgiveness, and the Cowgirls Running Wyoming

from Love Letters and Books · host Love Letters and Books

I spoke with UK-based romance author Lila Dawes about Redemption, book one in her Cowgirls Do It Better series: a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers cowboy romance set against the Grand Tetons, where the women run the ranch, the emotional stakes are sky-high, and forgiveness is the hardest thing anyone is asked to do. We definitely talk romance, but it's also a discussion about grief, guilt, accountability, and what it looks like when someone genuinely tries to earn their way back into the world after causing irreparable harm. We also talk about what's coming next for the Cartwright sisters in Revelry, Resonance, and beyond. Lila closes the episode with a love letter written to her younger self. It's written for her, but it lands for everyone who has ever made something quietly and hoped it was enough.Connect with Love Letters and BooksTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lovelettersandbooks Threads: https://www.threads.com/@lovelettersandbooksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovelettersandbooks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovelettersandbookspodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LoveLettersandBooksPodcast Write me a love letter: [email protected] with Lila DawesTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@liladawesauthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/liladawesromance/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lila.dawes.7/Website: https://www.liladawesauthor.com/home
