Linda Lael Miller has done it again with "Always a Cowboy". I love all of the books that take place in Mustang Creek. Drake and Luce's romance was romantic and just plain fun. They were both strong characters with Drake being a quiet strong rancher that knew who he was. I really enjoyed that Luce was not a simpering female that was waiting for a rescue from the cowboy hero. She was strong in her own right and just the right person for someone like Drake. They were a match made in book writing heaven. I look forward to reading Mace's story in March and know that it will be just as good. 4.25 Stars!

Always A cowboy by Linda Lael Miller
The Carsons of Mustang Creek #2
2 stars - I think I may have read one other book by Linda Lael Miller, so I am not all that familiar with her writing style. This is a new release of hers, yet to me the writing felt dated. Maybe she was trying for that as the Hero was an "old fashioned guy".. but sadly for me, it took a while to read.
What I think worked:
• Drake and Luce’s banter was good
• Red’s odd sayings were funny
• I liked the whole Carson clan
• Luce interacting with the stallion was neat to watch and I actually wished there was more of that.
What I felt didn't work:
• I found the pace of the book and story-line quite slow and uneventful.
• I didn't feel much emotion with this story.
• Even though Drake said he was “old fashioned”, sometimes I felt he went either too far with it or just used that tact when it suited him.
I have heard rave reviews about Ms. Miller's writing so perhaps she's just not my style.
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

The magnificent Wyoming landscape in author Linda Lael Miller’s latest release, ALWAYS A COWBOY, comes alive on the page through the author’s detailed, rich descriptions.
The setting becomes a character in this sweeping romance that pits a rugged cowboy against a spunky city girl resulting in a sparks flying outcome.
The author has captured the lay of the land, the hard work of ranch life, and the desires of romance for a well-balanced story. The addition of a rogue stallion, wild mustangs, and eco-minded consciousness increases the depth of this charming story.
The story moves at a good pace and holds your attention. Readers will enjoy the amusing bantering between the two main characters and the overall heartwarming appeal of the story.
ALWAYS A COWBOY can be read on its own even though it’s the second installment in the Carsons of Mustang Creek series. A personal essay by the author about her early years and an excerpt from the next book in the series, FOREVER A HERO, are also included in the back of the book as a bonus.
This delightful contemporary western romance has sparks, action, adventure, engaging characters, and a love of animals that embodies the cowboy way of life while entertaining you.
FTC Full Disclosure – A copy of this book was sent to me by the publisher in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review. The thoughts are completely my own and given honestly and freely.

A lovely look at the life at the Mustang Creek where family matters, where the townsfolk take care of each other, and where the Carson brothers are finding love while living life to the fullest.
I enjoyed Luce and Drake, the way the interacted together, they way they respected each other and had only honesty and straight talk between them. From the first moment they are real with each other, and talk about issues that rise between them, without any drama and angst in the tale.
And even though the nature around them gives them challenges and fright, the affection between Luce and Drake grow and flourish. The story follows the couple's whirlwind romance from the meet-cute to the married life without any conflict or strife between them. From the big issues of Luce's future education and career, to the smaller ones they find a tune between them, and the normally silent cowboy is sharing ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
The family and life at the ranch are as important part of the story as it is in Carson's lives. The brothers constant bickering, and the housekeeper Harry's tight rules all tells of the love in-between the family members.
The story took me in, and I enjoyed the flow and life at the ranch, with the vivid images the author paints into the reader's mind. And even though many things were told in great detail, the growing of the relationship wasn't one of them. I was left wanting more details, fine points in their lives, more development as characters and as a couple.
So overall a smooth and mellow tale of the Carson family of the Mustang Creek, the rugged life on the ranch in Wyoming, and Drake and Luce finding the right person to do life with.

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.
