GIVEAWAY CLOSED – WINNER(S) CHOSEN & EMAILED
For me, there is just something about the lawman that toes the line between good and bad.
He has to be tough enough to put away the ‘bad guys’…but good enough to know right from wrong. In other words, somewhere deep inside he has to have a conscious, even if it’s well masked.
Sometimes it’s an outlaw that makes a good lawman.
I’ve had a couple favorite sheriff’s in my TV western watching.
The Outlaw Lawman:
On Dr. Quinn…
~waits for the groans to end~
Yes. Dr. Quinn. The gunslinger Kid Cole became sheriff for an episode. Even for just one episode, he turned out to be the best Sheriff the town had (sorry, Matthew and Daniel fans…and even I, a Hank-lover have to admit he would have made a horrible sheriff). I guess Kid Cole won the race because he knew the mind of an outlaw, but he had the temperance of years and the desire to just sit down in a quiet place and watch the roses grow.
The Lawman Outlaw:
Now my other favorite Lawman was Seth Bullock of Deadwood.
Not an outlaw, unless you count a politician as an outlaw ~cough~
Seth was a good man that settled into Deadwood after a bad turn as Sheriff in Helena, Montana. Through a turn of circumstance, he ended up as sheriff of Deadwood.
Seth toed the line because of his willingness to sometimes overlook the wrong-doings of Al Swearengen for the eventual betterment of the town.
Far and above, though, his ability to overlook some wrong-doings, was Bullock’s temper. He sure didn’t like being taken advantage of, and he certainly didn’t like being threatened or bribed. It led to some all out brawls, and him removing his sheriff star once or twice. He wanted to do good for the town, but sometimes he got in his own way.

There is so much to love about life in the 1800’s west, the men were strong and ruthless, women strong to survive the harsh conditions of the day. It is nice to think that cowboys have a code of conduct and were strongly protective of the little woman who usually managed to help to that end.

Lawman Outlaw.
Love your book cover!
Good morning, Sarah! So nice “meeting” you on this blog…on the very best blog tour ever! I confess I am a western romance-action-suspense addict and am always trying find new authors in this genre. And if I had to choose to answer your question, I’d choose Outlaw Lawman because he has been redeemed and now lives by “the code,” protecting others rather than violating them. No doubt all lawmen are sexy, but just sexy isn’t enough for me–they gotta be trying to make life better around them, not worse. Thanks for asking and again, glad to “meet” you. jdh2690@gmail.com
I like both but Outlaw Lawman is my favorite.

I enjoy a Lawman Outlaw. He tries to do the right think and ends up on the wrong side of right and wrong. Usually, it is a overzealous situation putting him there. Love that!

I don’t really have a preference as to the lawmen in stories. Most are really good guys and that’s what I like about them.
I prefer the Outlaw Lawmen in my Westerns.
