“This book is an anthology featuring two stories from two of the top cowboy/western romance authors in Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates.
I enjoyed both of the stories in this anthology but my favorite of the two was Maisey's story, Cowboy, Take Me Away. I loved all of the little ways that Gunnar took care of Birdie throughout the story despite the two of them starting out on to put it lightly, not the best of terms.
My favorite scene was the one where they had their lunch break while working by the swimming hole.
These were my favorite quotes from each story;
One Lonesome Cowboy - Linda Lael Miller
"Ian’s eyes were on the road, but he was smiling, and that put solid emotional ground under Susannah’s feet. How was it possible that a man’s smile, the sound of his voice, his mere presence, in fact, could uplift her the way it did? They hadn’t known each other for very long, and yet, from the beginning , Susannah had felt as if she’d known— and loved— this man through multiple lifetimes. He was a stranger who had never been a stranger." {Chapter 10}
Cowboy, Take Me Away - Maisey Yates
“Take your clothes off, cowboy. Join me.”
“I don’t skinny-dip.”“You don’t? Looking like that, it’s a crime you ever put clothes on at all.” {Chapter 8}
This two story anthology is a perfect choice for lovers of western/cowboy romances and is a pretty quick read at just 208 pages.

“Small Town Heroes by Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates is a “twofer”. There are two novellas in the book. Both novellas have strong male lead characters who are cautious and guarded. I loved the Cowboy Take Me Away and found One Lonesome Cowboy good, not fabulous. Small Town Heroes by Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates is a good read.
One Lonesome Cowboy by Linda Laeh Miller
Susannah needs to move immediately to Arizona to help care for her niece. Her sister is struggling with her mental health and her daughter is with a foster family. Susannah moves lock, stock and barrel. Luckily her job is one that can be done online. She is determined to give her niece strong support. Meanwhile, there is Ian McKenzie, a paramedic and a horse whisperer. Susannah and Ian confront the past trauma and deal with the struggle in order to move on.
Cowboy, Take Me Away by Maisey Yates is a great novella. Gunnar is dogged and determined to work his farm. He is the last person in his family and feels he can’t leave the land. He really could use some help. Only to have help come to him in an unusual way. Birdie Lennox is caught by Gunnar trying to steal a horse. Her goal is she needs a horse for her next job and then she would return him. Gunnar is having none of it and gives her a place to stay and a job instead of jail. Who knows what will happen next? They are two strong workers with little support or understanding spending time working together, eating together and talking to each other.”
“I absolutely love Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates!
You had me at small town, cowboys, romance and so much more.
One Lonesome Cowboy - Linda Lael Miller
I loved this heartfelt story about a guarded single mom and her niece, and a quiet, horse-whispering hero who’s just as cautious with his heart. With the perfect mix of romance, suspense, and a swoon-worthy lead, this is a story that stays with you—and a hero you won’t forget.
Cowboy, Take Me Away - Maisey Yates
Full of tension, charm, and unexpected heart, Cowboy, Take Me Away delivers a fiery romance between a tough-as-nails outlaw’s daughter and a straight-laced cowboy. Birdie and Gunnar’s chemistry crackles as they clash, connect, and uncover a love neither saw coming. A fun, heartfelt enemies-to-lovers story with a wild-west twist! I would love Gunnar to take me away!”
