This list of recommended reads pays tribute to those hard-working, hard-loving men who charm and captivate women from ages three to a hundred -- modern day cowboys. It can't be helped.

Have you ever watched a man on horseback - whether riding hell bent for leather or just walking the fence line? They are bigger than life - tanned skin, hard muscles, great (!) legs and big strong hands. How could any female not trust a guy like this?
