Description

It is hard to not desire a warrior With his beauty so wild His dark eyes so fierce His body so strong His kiss so bold But it is the kindness In his smile The caress and caring In his touch And the gentle spirit In his heart That makes it so easy To love a warrior. Goodbye, Rob. You will always be My fantasy hero Forever remembered For your beauty In mind, body, and spirit. Credits: This is a tribute to my favorite Romance Cover Model, Rob Ashton, who passed away last year. He was loved by so many. This book cover was created in Photoshop CS, using a photo reference, painting techniques, Heavenly Hair brushes by Ravnheart/ToxicAngel, a background by The_Slinger, and Native American Scenics by pixels29. Hope you enjoy. CC

Whoa... I am watching the entire series of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and he reminds me of "Sully" and his friend Cloud Dancing all at once..(both of whom I am in love with for the "ideal man" we all wish was real..)... Beautiful tribute and very sad he passed TOO SOON from this life.

I didn't know he'd died! :( So sad to hear & I think this is a wonderful tribute! Thank you! I Googled it and according to a post at the Romantic Times message board http://www.romantictimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10313 he had heart trouble & died from an aneurysm caused by complications from heart surgery. So very sad!
