Grab your silk fans, ladies, and start them flapping. It’s about to get very warm here at the Junction. We’re giving away prizes all this week and all you have to do to enter is cast your vote on some very fine specimens of western manhood. What could be better than free books and cowboy eye candy? Donna and I have the honor of kicking off this shindig, and we’ll be giving away four books, so get those eyes peeled and those voting fingers ready.
Karen’s entries:
When I need a hero for one of my books, there are certain qualities I look for. He must be rugged, strong, and capable of handling any challenge that comes his way. Much like Hero #1. On the other hand, he must also be warm, tender, and a man who laughs. See Hero #2.
Hero #2
- Hero #1
Donna’s entries:
I’m entering a pair of lovely gents. Blake Shelton (Hero #3), who I think is going to be cast as the hero in my upcoming Christmas book. This is a guy who needs to be big as a barn door with a heart of gold. And second up is Hugh Jackman (Hero #4). I swear he’s the sexiest drover on the planet.
Hero #4
Hero #3
So what do you think ladies? Which man would you like to ride the range with?
To vote, simply leave a comment with the hero’s number that you prefer. And if you want, tell us what drew you to him. By voting, you will also be entered to win one of the four books we are giving away today. Have fun!
Can I just have the whole rodeo? No? Damn.
Okay, hero #2. I like the way he’s smiling, and he seems comfortable with his horse. You know what they say about animals and children.

I’ll just take them all too but I have to agree with Beverly and go with hero #2. He looks like he can be well rounded.

4. Always, always Hugh! Super nice guy and gorgeous to boot; plus he’s and Aussie (like me).
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 2:25 am.
Agree w/ OzKnitter, for #4.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 4:19 am.
very nice choices. ;)
Hugh is always good, and the smiles are brilliant and appealing. But I vote for #1. I’ve had that hero on my bulletin board for awhile now. there’s just something about those eyes.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 5:55 am.
What a tough choice, but I am drawn to #1. Guess the rugged cowboy calls to me. :)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 6:44 am.
I like #3, the heart of gold sold me.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 7:01 am.
#3 for me. Nice guy, great voice and so handsome.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 8:00 am.
I think #4. He just looks like the rugged type that can withstand things on the range. He seems a bit older than the rest – maybe he’s use to being out on the range and has more experience. He seems like a good protector.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 8:02 am.
#2–The horse won me over!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 8:18 am.
Whew doggies did the thermostat in the office just rise to 100 degrees?! I hate not to vote for Hugh, but I have to go with #2. He looks like a rascal…And the bods not bad either. ;o)

Boy, does Blogger ever have issues today (re my reply didn’t show me as Laney4, but instead as various other people noted above)….
I vote for #4, Hugh Jackman. Ahhhhh, what can I say…. Hot, experienced, gentlemanly, and in great shape….
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 8:33 am.
I vote # 1 just love his eyes..
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 8:46 am.
#1
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:07 am.
hmmm # 2 or # 3? this is hard…lol. Think I’m going with # 2.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:18 am.
#4 Because he can also sing ;)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:19 am.
#2 looks very capable and playful
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:35 am.
Oooooo, do I really have to pick? I like #3′s smile although #2′s smile is wonderful too. Yes. One of them. That’s the best I can do at narrowing them down. Whew! And now I have to get to work. :)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:36 am.
#1… reminds me of my hubs! Intensity… that’s what gets me!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:39 am.
#1 is compelling and unforgettable. Love the photos.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:41 am.
I like all of them but I pick #3.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:51 am.
Boy this is a hard one but I am going with hero 2. The smile and the warm and tender part got the best of me. Who wouldn’t want a man that is warm and tender, that makes them loveable.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 10:14 am.
Well those are some great hero’s but I have to got with hero #4.. it’s those eyes, they are so intense and it maybe that I just have a thing for Austrailan cowboys…
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 10:22 am.
Oh my, I can’t win, but I can sure look! LOL Karen I love both your choices, but I think I am in love with #2. He is so hot with that smile of his. And I love Blake Shelton–he’s from my neck of the woods here in Oklahoma. Love Hugh Jackman…is there any cowboy out there any sexier? Heck they are all sexy. I’m glad I’m not having to vote! LOL
GREAT CHOICES!

Oh wow! What a sexy bunch. This is gonna be hard, girls. And this is only the first day. There’s much more fun to be had.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 10:31 am.
#1 for sure!!!!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 10:45 am.
Definitely #1 :):)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 10:46 am.
I am going with Hugh #4 but #2 is a close second. #2 is going purely on looks and I love that smile. But #4 I’ve seen on the screen and on TV talk shows – he’s a fantastic, versatile man with a great accent and actually seems like a decent person too!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 10:57 am.
#2 is my choice because he is warm and tender, my type of man. Love the covers of your books. Another reason it appears he loves horses, my kid of man because I love horses too
Thanks for such a great contest
Walk in harmony,
Melinda
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 11:04 am.
I’m torn between #1 and #2, but going with #1 . . . for now.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 11:12 am.
Talk about eye candy……
I have to go with #2. He’s prescious.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 11:21 am.
Hero #2 because I think a hero should be able not to take himself too seriously, which means he doesn’t realize he’s a hunk, and therefore he’s not egotistical. Yet, he is still capable of being protective and passionate all with a smile that can light up the darkness for his heroine.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 11:40 am.
#3, Not only good looking, but Blake looks like a calm and affectionate man and sings, Oh My..What more can a woman want?
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 11:41 am.
I am drawn to #1. It looks as if he is looking directly at you. I’m swooning. ::)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 11:48 am.
Oh my goodness! I do not know who he is, but #1 has caught my eye! ;)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 12:06 pm.
#2 oh my,I do believe I got the vapors!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 12:17 pm.
#2….. muscled sexy body and that smile- ahhhhhhh
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 12:39 pm.
I swear I didn’t vote twice my vote was for #2. Hope the “Kirsten” who voted for #1 returns so her real name can be put in the Stetson for a book.

this is so hard to pick but #2 for he has a really cute smile, and I like it when a man who has a nice body, smiles, and he seems like he likes to have fun!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 1:09 pm.
I had fun deciding, but I have to go with #4! Hugh is not only handsome and manly, he’s also quite charming. :-)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 1:23 pm.

Posted on September 26, 2011 at 1:28 pm.
What a great array of beauts. #4. is my choice.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 1:41 pm.
Wow, you ladies are better than me. I couldn’t possibly pick just one. Good thing I can’t vote anyway. Can’t wait to see the rest of the week!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 2:09 pm.
I would ride the range with either of them However, I pick #3 Blake Shelton because he can sing too.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 3:00 pm.
I like them all…but since I have to pick just one..I will pick #2. His smile just melts my heart. He is definately eye candy! :-)
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 3:06 pm.
What a tough decision! I have to go with #3. Mama Mia, he is quite good looking!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 3:21 pm.
#3– I love his smile.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 3:38 pm.
Any one of them would be a winner but my vote goes for #2.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 4:23 pm.
totally number 1…just look at those muscles in the arms..but number 2 is a good looking guy too!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 5:18 pm.
I love the #1 eyes and #2 smile! WOW, I’m glad I don’t have to make the final decision. Good choices ladies.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 5:26 pm.
Why can’t I have them all? I can’t pick just one of those men. Wheww!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 5:37 pm.
Oh my,I am hyperventilating here! I think that I could love being around any of them but #2 looks like he has quite a sense of humor and rugged good looks.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 5:57 pm.
My vote is for #1. however I do love Blake.
I wouldn’t turn down either of them
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 6:24 pm.
#3 Love his smile and love a guy who can sing
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 6:54 pm.
#4. Looks like life has beaten him up a little. He needs someone to take care of him. Really. ;-)
Peace, Julie

#1
Made my heart squeeze, and tummy flutter. Bad boy. Sexy. Makes me want to love him!
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 8:45 pm.
That’s it, ladies. VOTING IS CLOSED.
Posted on September 26, 2011 at 9:49 pm.
Sorry I didn’t get to vote. It would have been #1 for his smile and solidity.
