FOUR HEARTS
Drake Carson is the quintessential cowboy. More at home on his horse than in a car, more
comfortable on his own than in a group and not only does he basically not need
anyone, he doesn’t want anyone but his family.
That family includes not only his mother and brothers, housekeeper Harry
and their long time foreman Red along with his dogs and horses. And that’s plenty for Drake. The last thing he wants is a woman in his
life. Oh sure, he’ll find someone someday—just not now. Fate and his mother, however, have something
else in mind.
California and city girl Luce Hale is completing research on her
thesis on the impact of wild horses on the environment. What better place to do
so than the Carson ranch. Since Luce’s
mother is a lifelong friend of Blythe Carson she is immediately offered the
chance to stay at the ranch. And since
her research includes your basic modern cowboy, she quickly finds Drake fits
the bill. A bill he most definitely does
not want to fit.
Both Drake and Luce are headstrong and determined to pursue their
lives the way they want. Sometimes
though, the heart knows better than the head.
Book 2 of Linda Lael Miller’s Carsons of Mustang Creek, ALWAYS A
COWBOY is one of those can’t put down, yet mellow stories that keep you turning
pages till the very end. There’s action,
but it’s not heart pounding. You curl
your fingers around the pages, but you don’t hold your breath – and that makes
for a solid read. One you can sit with
and get into the characters’ minds. For
as simple and direct as Drake appears on the surface, he is actually very
complex and intriguing. Tall, blond and
gorgeous you cannot help but fall in love with him yourself.
Luce is smart, self-assured and has great self-possession. She knows her own mind and has the kind of
balance you want in a friend. My favorite
character though was Smoke…definitely a “man” of action. His interactions with Luce were among my
favorite.
ALWAYS A COWBOY reminded me of why I fell in love with not only
romance, but western romance years ago.
And it is classic Linda Lael Miller.
I can’t wait for Mace’s story!
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of
this book.
