Last week, my children's Boy Scout Troop participated in a scavenger hunt on the Hilo Heritage Tour. They had to find "saloon" on the sidewalk and determine what would be tied to a metal ring near it. After much deliberation, the Scouts agreed that Paniolo (cowboys) tied their lio (horses) to enjoy the saloon. Even in the Pacific, cowboys are true blue American heroes.
Today we celebrate traditional cowboys from Forever Romance .... RC Ryan gives us QUINN:
A Wyoming Sky Novel ...
The Truth Can Be an Irresistible Temptation . . .
As a young boy, Quinn Conway was shattered by his mother's mysterious disappearance. Today, as the oldest of the Conway brothers, his only concern is protecting his family and their ranch. One look at beautiful, strong-willed Cheyenne O'Brien tells him she's also no stranger to tragedy. A series of increasingly dangerous "accidents" are plaguing her and her land, and Quinn can't stand idly by while a woman is in danger. Fiercely independent, Cheyenne isn't one to lean on others, yet she can't deny her attraction to the rugged rancher offering help. Soon, the passion building between them proves as wild and untamed as the land she loves-and just as impossible to resist. But a relentless enemy is about to make one final devastating move. To survive, Quinn and Cheyenne must put their cherished freedom-and their hearts-at risk . . .

I don't really have a favorite cowboy, but I do like Woody from Toy Story.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Kim! Got my pre-order of "Quinn" by R.C. Ryan few weeks ago, but I hadn't chance to read it yet. Regarding cowboys... Although Chuck Norris isn't my favorite cowboy, I grew up watching "Walker, Texas Ranger" & was a big fan of this TV series.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I think John Wayne or maybe Clint Eastwood would be my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the wild wild West and Rawhide!!!
ReplyDeleteFavorite cowboy would have to be Clint Eastwood or newer version would be the Raines brothers from Kat Martin's newest series. Love cowboys. Super sexy in their blue jeans, cowboy boots, and those sexy cowboy hats. A couple of other good cowboys(country signers) are Jake Owen, Chris Young, Blake Shelton, and Alan Jackson.
ReplyDeleteThese two books sounds awesome and would love to win and read.

Hi all! Thanks for stopping by to chat. When I think of screen cowboys I always think of Redford as the Sundance Kid, which is probably why I put the outlaw-school marm scene in Catch Me a Cowboy. But who doesn't love Eastwood, John Wayne, and Woody? Never watched Walker, Texas Ranger, but always thought Chuck was cute. Thanks for the great post, Kim! I'll be checking back later.
ReplyDeleteI have a big crush on Sam Elliott whenever he played a cowboy...sighs....
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Tracey D
One of my favorite cowboys has always been the country singer George Straight.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cowboy--John Wayne.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cowboy is Marshall Will Kane (Gary Cooper) from the movie High Noon. A close second would be Clint Eastwood, from his many roles on TV (Rawhide) and in the movies (The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven.)
ReplyDeleteJohn Wayne, he has always seemed like the ultimate cowboy. Though, I did like Daniel Craig in Cowboys and Aliens. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Clint Eastwood.
ReplyDeleteMy mind went immediately to Woody from TOY STORY. I don't know if John Wayne ever played a cowboy. Lot's of movies set in the west, but cowboy?
ReplyDeletemy fave cowboy, i cant think about it but i love reading western romance and about cowboy story
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd classify Steve McGarrett as a cowboy! :D I've always like John Wayne.
ReplyDeleteI would say John Wayne in any of his movies.
ReplyDeleteJohn Wayne, definitely!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love Cord from Cowgirl up and Ride by, Lorelei James
ReplyDeleteterrilee.byles@yahoo.com
John Wayne!
ReplyDeletepademe_lee@yahoo.com
I think that Trevor and Ed from Lorelie James Rough Riders are my absolute favorite. YUMMY

You can't think "cowboy" and not think John Wayne!

Many of my favorite cowboys are fictional characters, though they seem pretty real to me. One of my favorite is Cain from The Outsider.
