Series
He's the middle of the three Carson brothers and is as
stubborn as they come—and he won't thank a beautiful stranger for getting in
his way! Drake Carson is the quintessential cowboy. In charge of the family ranch, he knows the realities of this life, its pleasures and heartbreaks. Lately, managing the wild stallions on his property is wearing him down. When an interfering so-called expert arrives and starts offering her opinion, Drake is wary, but he can't deny the longing—and the challenge—she stirs in him.
Luce Hale is researching how wild horses interact with ranch animals—and with ranchers. The Carson matriarch invites her to stay with the family, which guarantees frequent encounters with Drake, her ruggedly handsome and decidedly unwelcoming son. Luce and Drake are at odds from the very beginning, especially when it comes to the rogue stallion who's stealing the ranch mares. But when Drake believes Luce is in danger, that changes everything—for both of them.
My Thoughts…
Linda Lael Miller has the corner on cowboys. Drake is everything a cowboy should be and
more. His manners, his toughness, and
his huge heart for all things alive make him a true good guy. I loved that he stood for the ladies, opened
doors for them, and was so incredibly respectful. That is a dying breed. While his care for his family is given,
the care he shows both his animals and those who are wild and causing him
problems made my heart fall for him even more. His mother told it best when she described
his as a you get what you see guy. He
speaks the truth, works hard, and loves with his whole body and soul. I believe this describes Drake
perfectly.
The setting of Montana is just beautiful. I could picture the farm house, the barn with
the horses, the valleys, and the cliffs as Linda Lael Miller described
them. The beautiful green grass, the
cold creek, and the magnificent mountains were pictures I could see as I
continued reading Always a Cowboy.
This is not my first Linda Lael Miller and definitely
not my last. She is a go-to author for
me. I am happy to recommend Always a
Cowboy to any romance reader.

Meet Linda Lael Miller
The daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is
the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling
author of more than 100 historical and contemporary
novels, most of which reflect her love of the West.
Raised in Northport, Washington, the self-confessed
barn goddess pursued her wanderlust, living in London
and Arizona and traveling the world before returning
to the state of her birth to settle down on a horse
property outside Spokane.
Linda traces the beginning of her writing career to the
day a Northport teacher told her that the stories she
was writing were good, that she just might have a
future in writing. Later, when she decided to write
novels, she endured her share of rejection before she
sold her first title to a publisher in 1983. Linda then
successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before
coming home, in a literal sense, to concentrate on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to
her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2007. In 2016 Linda will receive a Lifetime Achievement award from RT
Book Reviews. Currently the Hallmark Movie Channel is developing a series based on Linda’s Big
Sky Country novels.
