Now, who doesn't like a cowboy? For guys, he's a man's man. For us girls, he's easy on the eye. For kids, a downright hero.
Recently, I "bashed" with fifty other romance authors at an all-day Internet party where we posted excerpts, contests, games, polls. And I came up with a poll for the topic "which cowboy would you like to find in your bed?"
(Agreed, it sounds a bit racy, but remember the context: romance readers and writers.)
Sam Elliott came up Number One. And can there be any doubt? That height and vigor, that gravel voice. Hmmmm-hmmmmm.
So I thought I'd reprise the topic today, with some minor revisions.
Which of these cowboys is the sexiest?
1. Trace Adkins (who currently enamors me...Oh my.)
2. Viggo Mortensen (oh, Hidalgo.)
3. John Wayne (no more need be said LOL.)
4. Michael Landon/Little Joe (a little sexier than Pa Ingalls...)
5. Thomas Haden Church (C'mon. Give him a chance. Broken Trail rocked!)
6. Robert Duvall (A classic! Lonesome Dove. Open Range. Broken Trail...)
7. Kevin Costner (all right, a little long in the tooth...but think Wyatt Earp...)
8. Jake Guyllenhall
9. Heath Ledger (Gotta remember, though, these last two were sheepherders, not cowboys.)
10. Kurt Russell (IMO A better Wyatt than that other one.)
11. Sam Elliott (last but not least, The Ultimate Cowboy.)
Get your thinking caps on and make your decision, and let me know!
