They are tough, hard working, and have the manners their
mama gave them. Is it no wonder that readers are in love with the ultimate
hero—cowboys. But just because these men are strong and protective doesn’t mean
that loving them is all smooth sailing. Today we’ve got Western romance authors
Carolyn Brown and Linda Broday to describe the hardest thing about falling in
love with a cowboy—and what makes this type of hero worth the trouble. Take it
away ladies!
Linda Broday: I think the single thing that makes it hard to
fall in love with a cowboy is his god-awful stubborn independence. He thinks he
doesn't need anyone in his life because he can do it all, which is pretty true
but it gets awful lonely, just him and his horse and maybe a dog or two. But,
when a woman does get his full
attention...let's just say that the result takes her breath. No one is
more tender or gentler than a cowboy and they know lots of secrets about how to
pleasure their cowgirl. Those sweet nothings they whisper in her ear can
hypnotize, luring her down a sinful path and she doesn't mind one bit. Oh yeah,
it's definitely worth it —especially my newest cowboy hero Cooper Thorne from
Texas Mail Order Bride. He represents a tough cowboy at his best—and doesn’t
know the meaning of the word quit!
Carolyn Brown: In my newest release, The Trouble with Texas
Cowboys, it is difficult for Jill to fall for a cowboy because she’s just come
out of a disastrous relationship with a cowboy.
Sawyer is so different from her previous boyfriend, and yet
Jill doesn't trust herself to give him a chance after being blind to the faults
of the last fellow. One thing for sure is that she has to trust him a little
bit from the first day since they absolutely need each other to keep from being
eaten up by the feud that is taking over Burnt Boot, Texas.
So maybe the hardest thing is learning to trust the heart
and listen to it. But then a cowboy does tend to be stubborn as a cross-eyed
Missouri mule. And even though he’s handsome and funny, there is that little
part of his heart that he keeps locked away and doesn’t share.

Two wonderful writers featured here. I just finished Carolyn's latest Burnt Boot book and oh yes, it is a winner! I'll have to put Linda's book on my tbr list.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miz Margie!
DeleteI love Carolyn's books & of course, will read this book! I haven't read Lynda' books either, but this does sound good!
ReplyDeleteHey, Sharlene! It's good to see a familiar face and I hope you like Sawyer and Jill's story!
DeleteI have no idea who my favorite Texan is. Lol. I love small town romance that take place in Texas.
ReplyDeleteLove Carolyn's books but Lynda is a new author to me.
Hi, Lori: Small towns have a pulse beat all of their own and it makes them so much fun to write about. Put them smack in the big grand state of Texas which is still a little on the wild side, and it's even more fun.
DeleteLooks like two great books to be added to my TBR pile! I don't have a favorite Texan.
ReplyDeleteThank you Allie...strange thing. I'm writing the very last chapter of a cowboy book today and the heroine's name is Alora Raine but everyone calls her Allie! Seeing your name here put a smile on my face!
DeleteMy favorite Texan is Matthew McConaughey!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDanielle, now that's a swagger and a southern drawl that would turn any woman's eye!
DeleteWho could go wrong with two great cowboy books. I was never a cowboy reader, but about 5 years ago I got introduced by Kim and I am loving them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim, for introducing Terry to cowboy books! Sawyer thanks you. Jill thanks you. Loretta thanks you. Jackson thanks you...you get the idea! LOL!
DeleteJohn Wayne,Tommy Lee Jones,Chuck Norris, Antonio Banderas, and Patrick Swayze are among my fave Texans, Some of whom "date" me as we're close to the same age. :-) I also can't forget all the old TV westerns that I used to devour and still watch reruns of: Big Valley, The Virginian, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Maverick, etc. I'm not sure the movie stars were from Texas, but they portrayed Texans. And my paternal forebears are from Texas (Farmersville and Fort Worth), so I can't forget them! :-) I'm just glad that there are some wonderful contemporary and historical western romance authors who write stories that I love to read: you, Carolyn, Kaki Warner, Catherine Anderson, Kathleen Ball, Cora Seton, Paty Jager, Caroline Clemmons, to name just a few. I love to read about cowboys and their lifestyle, that's all there is to it. Thanks for the post! jdh2690@gmail.com
