WHY DO WE LOVE COWBOYS?

ANGI MORGAN
In honor of National Day of the Cowboy I thought it would be fun to see why romance authors love cowboys. How about you? How would you answer the poll?

WHY DO YOU LOVE COWBOYS?

  • their honorable character
  • their boots
  • their riding abilities
  • their work-ethic
  • the way they fit their jeans


I think the Cowboy Code by Gene Autry pretty much sums up why we love our cowboys!
"Seriously? I have to choose an answer? You have made this poll waaaaay tooooo tough :) 

Because I'm forced to pick, I'll say #1.  Probably because I'm at the time in my live where a person's character matters more than anything else." ~Cathy McDavid

GENE AUTRY'S COWBOY CODE
as stated on GeneAutry.com

The Cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage.

CAROLINE CLEMMONS

He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him.

The Real Cowboy Way article has a lot of cute sayings. Check it out. Angi's favorite: A COWGIRL CAN DO IT BY HERSELF...A COWBOY WON'T LET HER.

"The entire package! Their strong work ethic leads to an incredible fit in their jeans and their boots create a very sexy swagger. Add a little patriotism with their honor and you've got a keeper. The ability to ride however, is a dream come true!" ~Kym Roberts


"The way he fills out his jeans." 
~Caro Carson, E.E. Burke & Angi Morgan
