Welcome to the Cowboys and Lawmen Blog Hop!
Join nearly 50 authors as we share why we love Cowboys and Lawmen. What is it that makes small town sheriffs, Texas Rangers, and ex-outlaws-turned-lawmen so irresistible? Whether you write or love to read about the Wild West or modern day cowboys, what do you love most about lawmen who are also cowboys? And what makes them so gosh-darn sexy?

When I think of the western movies and TV shows I've watched and the western fiction books I've read; the lawmen always tend to be larger than life with past history that made them the lawman they are. It could have been someone in their life was killed or they started on the wrong side of the law and had a change of heart or conscience. Whatever the catalyst that made them become a lawman, they exude a personality that gets the answers they need either by charm or sheer stubbornness. They are proud and help the downtrodden, especially women and children. 
It they are tall, muscular, and have a twinkle in their eye, all the better for a swoon-worthy lawman. There are a couple of actors who always play the good guy whether or not they are lawmen. Those are Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck. They are a couple of smooth-talking (love their deep voices), eye-twinkling, man candy cowboys. They always help those in need and take out the bad guys with swift vengeance. But they also know how to treat a lady.
If a fictional western lawman has the grit to take on a town or a gang of outlaws and in the next scene pet a puppy and dry a child's tears, our hearts go out to them and we can overlook the ornery, cussedness they may have displayed earlier. And that's the contradictory nature of a good lawman character in a western romance.

My newest release, Western Duets- Volume One a novella with two short historical westerns has a short story with a U.S. Marshal who shows this contradictory side.
Last Stand for Love
U.S. Marshal Chas Brown agreed to be Sarah's proxy husband in order for her to keep her dead husband's ranch. Little did Chas know, he’d lose his heart in the process.
