Cowboys and Kittens and Flirting, Oh MY!

Yes, it's the Final Flirt-Off in

Ménage a Blog! 

All you lovely people commented on Romancing The West yesterday and your generousity put me in the final round!  Thanks so much!  Also thank you to Amber Scott who organized this whole blog tour. Mwah!

Oh, my. <giggle>  Who would have thought little ol' me would end up in a flirt-off with two fine authors such as the splendid Regan Black and the marvelous Lacey Weatherford?

And now I have my hat and my lasso (see left) and I'm ready to find any lost little strays who might be in sorely need of a fun, romantic story.

Oh, well, it isn't lady-like to actually bribe someone into commenting on my blog, so instead, I'll just sweeten the pot a bit. Um more about that later. :)

Let's talk sexy cowboys.  Yesterday, I asked you to post the sexiest cowboy, and today, I'll show you a few of them. 



King of Cowboys
John Wayne

Of course, lots of ladies love John Wayne.  Women the world over were jealous of Maureen O'Hara. <teehee>  He created an amazing larger-than-life character who exemplifed the Old West and all its chivalry.  Want to know more about that?  After you comment here, go to Your Need To Read and comment on my post, Cowboys: Knights of the Old West.

Yes, you get extra entries into the Prize Package for a YNTR comment!

Who can forget Rooster Cogburn?  I loved John Wayne in True Grit, so imagine my surprise when I liked Jeff Bridges just as well.  I didn't think that was possible!

 

Clint Eastwood

It seems like lots of ladies are loving another strong, silent type, and that would be The Man With No Name himself, Clint Eastwood.  Yeah baby, Rowdie Yates, the actor who was told he'd never make it because his adam's apple was too large, has passed 80 years of age and is still making ladies' hearts flutter.  He even has Paint Your Wagon fans!  I heard he absolutely hated singing in that movie and swore never to do it again.  And didn't.



Sam Elliot

The third most popular cowboy is Sam Elliot and the ladies picked him for his sexy voice as much as for his good looks.  Not that I would have noticed, you understand.  <Excuse me while I swoon.>  We in the Pacific Northwest call him one of our own because he graduated from high school in Portland, Oregon, and went to Clark College in Vancouver, and that's were he decided to become an actor.  Good choice.  I don't suppose you remember him in Conagher?  Or Tombstone?  <sigh>  Kathryn Ross is one lucky lady.



Tom Selleck

 Actually, Sam was running neck and neck with another actor who stole hearts from Alaska to Down Under, and of course that would be Tom Selleck.  I loved The Sackets (he played Orrin Sackett, Sam Elliot played his brother), Monte Walsh, Quigley Down Under . . . Tom Selleck was born to ride astride, er, I mean, play a cowboy.

No plastic body for this man: "So I like to get outside and work on the farm, from fixing roads to clearing brush. I hate going to the gym, so sweating outdoors sure beats sitting on a stationary bike staring at my navel. And I work cheaper than anyone I could hire to do it."

Many of you received a coupon for a copy of Much Ado About Marshals at Smashwords.  Want a sneak peak of the book?  Here's a short video:

Like that sexy cowboy?  His name is Kyle Walker and he's not actually a cowboy--he's a construction worker.  I think he fills out those cowboy duds pretty well, though.

What famous actor do you think would best play the part of Cole Richards?  Make a comment and you'll get:
