Who’s Hotter? Vikings or Cowboys?
My heroine has a
problem. She’s been best friends with a cowboy since grade school and their
relationship is getting those warm, fuzzy grown-up feels. The only problem? They’ve been friends since grade school.
Callie’s got
another problem, too. A family moved into the haunted house next door and the
oldest son, Liam, is … something. She’s irrationally, stupidly drawn to him, as
if she’s known him forever, but they’ve barely met.
Don’t worry, she’ll
figure all that out, but the handsome men in her life started me wondering….Who’s hotter? Cowboys or Vikings?
So, I did what any
girl would do. I made lists! Let’s see if I can figure it out.
Cowboys:
1. Lean,
sculpted bodies – hey, farm work isn’t easy, but it surely does pay
2. Tans
– that much time in the sun caramels up the skin real pretty
3. Southern
drawls – those slow, sexy southern drawls can give a girl the vapors.
4. Respect
– Any cowboy worth his rope treats his woman like a precious stone, easily lost
and in high demand. He’s no stranger to hard work and he’ll earn your keep.
5. Charm,
bone-deep – and they know how to use it. They’ll make friends with your mama.
Vikings:
1. Fierce
– these guys are born warriors, fearless fighters and unrelenting defenders
2. Honor
– honor is everything to a Viking. They’d die (literally!) to maintain it
3. Warriors
are nice to look at. Have you seen Thor?
4. Alpha
male? Yes, please. –I think girl-swooning pheromones and testosterone seep directly
from their pores.
5. Mystery
– The Vikings in Prophecy are demigods, offspring of Bia, Kratos and Zelus,
gods of force, strength and zeal. Who doesn’t love a demigod?
I know I left out a ton of reasons to love both
- Vikings AND Cowboys. I wrote an entire novel about them and then wrote a
sequel! LOL. One book wouldn’t contain their awesome. So, what do you think?
Who do you choose? The Viking or the cowboy? What did I leave out that
definitely belongs on the list?
Prophecy,
book 1, Calypso series, book #1
On
the other side of death, is destiny.
Callie Ingram is spending her senior year focused on one
thing: swimming. Her skill as a competitive swimmer is going to secure a
scholarship and her future, or so she hopes. She has big plans, and Liam Hale,
her gorgeous new neighbor, isn’t going to affect them. But when Callie sees
Liam beheading someone, she learns his family has a secret that will change
everything. The Hales are Vikings, demi-gods who’ve been charged by The Fates
to find their new destined leader.
Callie’s caught in the middle of a budding Norse apocalypse,
in love with Liam Hale and desperate to protect her best friend—who the Hales
believe is marked for transformation. Putting the clues together as fast as she
can, Callie discovers she has the power to rewrite destiny, for herself and all
humankind.
