Loved your story in Winter Wedding Bells!
Peace,Julie
Thanks, Julie!! I'm glad you liked it!! And yes, stop by all the authors' sites for a better chance to win the Grand Prize!!
Great fun and I would say George Strait for your book.
My guess: #2 Blake Shelton.
My guess Brad Paisley .
I think you would choose #2 Blake Shelton.
I want to go with Brad Praisley as well. But I must as that is a great, friendly smile on Josh Turner in this picture! That would be hard to resist!
Now I am not so sure about my answer....
vickykerr[at]sbcglobal.net
I'll go with #4, Josh Turner, though they're all cute.
I'm a Brad Paisley lover myself, so I'd have to go w/ him!! Not only is he sexy and have a beautiful smile, but he seems like such a fun, happy person!!
My guess is Brad Paisley too, he has charisma and those dark eyes! And whata velvety voice..mm.. :-)
What a fun idea for a giveaway! :-)
stella.exlibris (at) gmail (dot) com
Im guessing Brad Paisley too, but with Josh Turner as a close second.
bacchus76 at myself dot com
I would say George Strait. I know that is who I would pick :)
texasgirl (at) rocketmail (dot) com
Oh so much goodness to choose from! I'm going to go with Josh Turner! :)
If I have to choose one of the four I would say based on the storyline that Blake Shelton would fit the story best. He's a little more of a rebel and more likely to get shot. Does that make sense?
Myself, I am all about Jason Aldean. He is a sweet guy with a total bad boy look. But hey, I love a bad boy!
Thanks for posting the info, I so want a Kindle for Christmas!

I think that Blake Shelton in his black hat fit the image of bad boy that just pulls you into his arms.
Yummy, yummy. He's my pick.
This is going to be a fun contest, thank you Julie.
I say Blake Shelton for sure.
My guess is #2 Blake Shelton
My heart goes with George Strait, but I have to pick Blake. Don't ask me why, other than a gut feeling. Thank you for the contest. Merry Christmas, everyone!!
Great Contest! Difficult choice but I think I have to go with George Strait.
I am going to go with Brad Paisley for my guess.
charlenevidal@live.ca

dixieturtle67@aol.com
Blake Shelton, without a doubt! Miranda will have her hands full!
Oh, I think Josh Turner for your book hero!
Thank you!

I think Blake Shelton would make the best Cooper. He is a rebel and a bit rough around the edges, but he also has a sensitive side. Plus he's gorgeous, so he has my vote :)
I think Blake Shelton!
I too love Blake Shelton for this role! He'd be perfect
Josh is cute but kind of innocent looking.
George is too old.
Brad would be my second choice.
johnslake at usa dot com
I'll pick number 1, Brad Paisley. I think he would do great.
plhouston(at)bellsouth(dot)net
I'm going for George Strait. He looks like a heartbeat and heart mender.
orelukjp0 at gmail dot com
Well ofcourse it would be Blake Shelton.Now don't get me wrong.Brad is nice and Josh is no slouch.George will always be the King of Country.But Blake he has the stuff to spin any cowgirl's spurs.Can't wait to read this one!!!
dlynnpen@aim.com
I'm guessing - Blake Shelton #2
He looks like a sexy cowboy hero ready for a Christmas story and a gorgeous heroine.
Suzi Love
My guess would be #2 Blake Shelton.
the[dot]distant[dot]light[at]gmail[dot]com
My guess is Blake Shelton #2~
Wowza! Personally, I'd pick George.
I'm going to guess Blake Shelton. Most of 'em are dreamy, so it's hard to choose.
I think Blake Shelton would be perfect.
cbandy10 (at) hotmail (dotcom)
I'm going to guess that you would pick #4 Josh Turner.
castings at mindspring dot com

George Strait? Mx
Blake Shelton #2
marypres@gmail.com
I am going with Blake. Sigh. I loved your story and if I could I would combine George and Blake into one guy. George has got that hardened look that fits but Blake is younger. Sigh.
Brad is too much of a prankster IMHO! :-)
Peace, Julie
I'm going to go with Blake Shelton as well, even though I like George and Brad. Josh just looks too young.
ironss[at]gmail.com
Blake Shelton looks like my hero too! Gotta vote that way.
Brad Paisley #1

Josh Turner - so gorgeous! Pick him, pick him. lol, sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for the chance.
florida982002[at]yahoo.com

jeff72768@yahoo.com
I love your books. I think #3 George Strait is your hero.
I'm thinking it's Blake Shelton.
Theresa N
weceno(at)yahoo(dot)com
Not an easy one, but I think you would choose #2: Blake Shelton.
Brad Paisley has got to be the guy.
He is my favorite he has a heart of gold, a gentleman and a champion of others (plus, I think he is just dreamy).
great fun as others say and I think George Strait for Garrett as he is not only a hunk but more mature looking for this lady
I'm going to say Blake Shelton, 'cause he's having a heck of a year!
Wow I love all of them but if I had to pick i'll go with my favorite... Blake Shelton
I'm not eligible to win, but who could resist picking one of those hunky guys for their cover model...or more? I'd take home #2 Blake Shelton!
My guess is George Strait #3, but that may simply be because I love his voice more than the voices of the others. :)
freodwyn @ gmail . com
I'm going to have to go with Blake Shelton though I found it hard to choose between him and Brad.
Oooh! My guess is Brad Paisley!
I think you'd choose Brad Paisley.
Thanks
I would guess Brad Paisley! But all of them are really hunky!!
Well being as my hubby is from WV I'm going to pick Brad Paisley as my hometown hero.
Thanks for participating it's a great contest.
Zina
I have to pick #4, Josh Turner. I love him so much!
Thanks for taking part in such a fun contest! :)
I think Blake shelton
meandi09@yahoo.com
I guess Josh Turner.
Thank you
Hmmm. My personal favorite is Brad Paisley, but I'm choosing Blake Shelton for my answer. He's more how I picture Cooper looking.
What a fun contest! Thanks.

Blake Shelton #2
#3 George Strait
Blake Shelton! All the men are dreamy, but Blake has that naughty twinkle in his eye.
bryansjenn at hotmail dot come
#2 Blake Shelton
Congrats on your Christmas anthology, Charlene--definitely have it on the TBB! My guess is #2, Blake Shelton, although all of them are cutie pies!
Thanks for the fun!
f dot chen at comcast dot net
I'm going with Blake Shelton.
1. He's a hunk with a little bit of a bad boy look.
2. George Strait is too old for the character.
3. Josh Turner seems too young
4. Brad Paisley doesn't have a rugged enough kind of face.
I'm guessing #2, Blake Shelton
I'd say Blake also.
I would guess Blake Shelton also, although I would probably rather have Josh Turner myself
All are yummy but I'd have to say Blake Shelton. Merry Christmas!!
I love them all but my husband worked out where the deer, moose, elk and the buffalo range in Wyoming for two years. It was 1 1/2 hours to the nearest store and they delivered UPS to the tiny liquor store in town (which was also the video shop)and there were times it was 20 below zero!
My pick is Blake Sheldon who is someone that could go out and gather up the herd in below zero weather and still come home to warm you up at night!
My guess is Blake Shelton too
Blake Shelton :)
Blake Shelton
I think Brad Paisley would be good.
Brad Paisley has my vote!
Definitely George Straight. Hope you have a great Christmas.

Hi, Charlene-

I'd have to say Blake Shelton -- he kind of has that western romance hero vibe -- although I think Josh is mighty cute!
ksnowschu@yahoo.com
My guess is Blake Shelton!
This is a tough one! But I think he feels more like Brad Paisley with maybe a little bit of Josh Turner thrown in!
I will say Blake Shelton. They are all gorgeous though. ;)

mary_reiss@hotmail.com
My guess is #2, Blake Shelton. Happy Holidays! (Email in profile.)
I love all of them. They are all hot in their own ways.
I have to stay true to my main country singing man and say:
GEORGE STRAIT :)
Hubba hubba they're all fine looking cowboys but I would definitely pick Blake Shelton. He fits the character of Cooper in the looks department from what I've read on this site. :-P
XOXO~ Renee C.

catslady5(at)aol.com

Oh goodness, those are some men to choose from! I will guess my personal favorite, Mr. Turner.

I am going to go with Blake Shelton as my guess. How fun if I'm right.
Josh Turner
Brad Paisley looks the most like the cowboys you showed on your heroes website section but I'm not sure about the age.
Josh Turner might be more of the right age for Cooper.
--Carlie
Brad Praisley
My guess is Blake Shelton.
I'm going to guess #2 Blake Shelton. He's good locking with an edge. Just how the hero of a book should be.
coolestmommy at hotmail dot com
I'm guessing/hoping, Josh Turner!
It's got to be Josh Turner!
Tracy
I am not sure so I will go with Goerge.
I'll guess #4, Josh Turner. They all are cute though.
I'm going with Brad Paisley.
Blake Shelton #2
It's a wild guess but he looks pretty cute to me!
Leah
beautycritic {at} yahoo {dot} com
Brad Paisley!
I am HUGE George Straight fan but i'm going to say Blake Shelton for this. All great choices though. He's got the look that comes to mind for a romance book though.
Lisa B
modokker at yahoo dot com
Kaelee's guess:
I'm a fan of all these gentlemen so it's hard to pick just one. I'd have to go with Josh Turned because of his deep voice. I think his deep voice would fit a cowboy just perfectly plus he's not to bad on the eyes and he's tall enough to be hero material.
I'm guessing Brad. :)
My guess is: Blake Shelton
He just looks the part.
Wynneaway
My guess is George Strait.
Judy L.
Blake Shelton would be my choice.
Brad Paisley has my vote even if you don't pick him!
secret_gurl69(at)hotmail(dot)com
LOL so mean to make us pick from those choices, Charlene! I'll have to go with Josh Turner, tho. He looks like a reclusive carpenter turned happy husband!
Sandy M
Gotta be Josh Turner, cuz he's the hottest man there is lol
I think it's Blake Shelton.
My guess is Blake Shelton.
Josh Turner #4
My guess is Blake Shelton.
I think it's #2 Blake Shelton.
