Last Friday we launched the new Linda Lael Miller Take a Cowboy Home sweepstakes, and to celebrate we got swag! Of course, to earn our swag, we had to wear it. And take pictures!
Check us out:
The whole Harlequin team that worked on the campaign

The McKettrick boys would be proud. We’re a handsome bunch.
Now to keep the celebration going, we’d like to offer YOU a FREE Take a Cowboy Home t-shirt! We have one ladies size medium t-shirt to give away. Just leave a comment on the blog telling us what your favourite real life or imaginary cowboy is and we’ll pick a name out of a (cowboy) hat on Monday, December 14. The deadline to enter is midnight on December 13! Only one entry per person and only US and Canadian residents are eligible to win, terribly sorry! Please see our full contest rules here.
I love the books! My favorite cowboy though would be my husband Kris. He can wear the wranglers and hat just as good as anyone on the rodeo circuit. He’s the real thing out working on the home ranch and then again back at home with me and the kids. He’s romantic but tough, sweet and caring yet will stand up for what is right and protect his family. He swept me off my feet and is still doing so 6 years later. If I didn’t have my real life cowboy then my favorite would be Chris Ledoux. He could sing better than any and lived the life to the fullest until his early passing.
I love Jeannie Watt’s cowboys. Maybe because they’re northern Nevada Cowboys and I live in northwest Nevada. Jason Ross in Jeannie Watt’s \A Cowboy’s Redemption\ is great. With a ton of bad luck falling on him, he doesn’t crumble or give up, but works hard to recoup.
A real life cowboy would have to be Tim McGraw. Something about how he wears that hat. Any of the men from “Irish” series with “Irish Thoroughbred” and “Rose”. I loved them all including the men!
My favourite cowboy is Brad Paisley. He’s got charm to boot!
My two all-time favorite cowboys have to be the characters of Gus McCray and Woodrow Call of “Lonesome Dove” fame. They made you laugh, cry, and appreciate the hardships that cowboys back then called life. The traits that made Gus and Woodrow bigger than life onscreen in “Lonesome Dove” exist within the pages of each and every Harlequin cowboy story. A big thank you to the authors who love to write about cowboys for those of us who love to read about them!
Any of the PBR riders are my favorite and the men in the original Magnificent Seven movie. And, of course, can’t forget George Strait who really sits heart aflutter.
Many cowboys are my favorites. But Wyatt Earp is my ultimate favorite ever.
Excellent ideas here, have emailed my mum so expect a big reply!!
