The story of Starr and Spencer. This story shows that first impressions are sometimes wrong.. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I really fell for Spencer and Starr. They are two complex and interesting characters.

This is my first book by Ms. Sky and I really enjoyed it. Ms. Sky is a great story teller and her characters and supporting character are so well rounded. I loved Starr and Spencer. Neither were needy or whiny that you get sometimes. Also the fact I love most was that Spencer was a bit of ladies man but for Starr he was all in.

This was a very sweet romance, pretty clean with dual POV. Cant wait for more books by Mrs. Sky.

I received an advanced copy for an honest review.

This was a wonderfully engaging romance that tugged on my heartstrings. I of course don’t like people being traumatized, but I do love those character developments afterwards; them trying to overcome their fears and evidently also finding a new romance.

This was a beautifully written romance about trauma, overcoming fears and 2nd chances. The author’s writing had me hooked from beginning till end. Normally I’m not into slow burn romance perse, but this was beautifully developed in this story and fit perfectly.

I highly recommend reading this book if you like not only reading about romance and 2nd chances, but also about life in general; family and progress and overcoming your fears.

When an avalanche crushes her world, Olympic hopeful Starr Taylor loses her job, her boyfriend, and worst of all, her confidence. She's working on getting her life back together and moving forward, and it certainly won’t be with Spencer Kensington, the far-too-attractive playboy lawyer she’s forced to play nice with at their friends’ wedding. Unfortunately, Spencer's trip to Reno gets extended unexpectedly, and Starr suddenly finds herself way too close for comfort with the man she's quickly realizing is more than he appears.
This was a great story. Both main characters were written very well. The story flowed well and was a quick read. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

Ahhhhhhh No Heartbreaker Required was just such a wonderful book and I just thoroughly enjoyed myself. I didn’t want to put this book down. I just fell in love with this wonderful story and it’s wonderful characters. I will most definitely be reading more stories from this wonderful author.

No Heartbreaker Required is a sweet, feel-good romance. Spencer and Starr start out as not quite enemies but definitely not total fans of each other, and the back and forth between them for the first half of the book really move the book along. I also enjoyed seeing JJ (Starr's nephew by marriage) again and visiting Noah's ranch (the setting of the first book in the series).

The second half of the book wasn't quite as tight as the first--things take some complicated turns, and I wasn't always a fan of the choices and reactions either Starr or Spencer made and had. Still, the ending was satisfying and left me with a warm glow.

Though the second in the series, No Heartbreaker Required should also work just fine as a standalone--the details that it's helpful to know from book one (background details, really) are given to you here. Chances are, though, that you'll get just enough of a glimpse of Noah and Grace (and JJ) to want to make you go back to book one if you haven't read it already.

Rating: 3 1/2 stars / B-

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A lovely story about a sworn bachelor attorney and a kindhearted professional skier. They meet before a wedding and are basking in some healthy dislike before the I dos are even spoken. Like many a good romance, an intense emotion (even if dislike) can easy turn into a passion not easily banked. That’s what happens here. The ensuing fall and HEA make for excellent reading.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

in no heartbreaker required starr taylor is ready to think the worst of spencer kensington, especially when she overhears a call with a lady friend that doesn't paint him in the best light. unfortunately, he's also a key member of her brother's wedding and after he is waylaid in reno, her unwanted houseguest.

spencer has baggage, and starr manages to stir it all up, and he both hates it and needs it so badly. the more time they spend together, the walls and assumptions they made about one another fall away, and the connection between them grows beautifully. this is a sweet read, and a lovely second book in this series.

**no heartbreaker required will publish on june 10, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (bliss) in exchange for my honest review.

I received an e-arc of No Heartbreaker Required by JoAnn Sky from Entangled: Bliss in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book.  I wasn't expecting much from this book honestly. 

I just wanted a quick read that I could delve into. And you know what? I was pleasantly surprised. It's one of those books that you can read in one sitting and just enjoy reading. And while I didn't get too much from it, it was a good read. 

No Heartbreaker Required follows Starr who is trying to get her life back on track after a freak accident. To do that she helps plain her brothers wedding. But when that is all over and Starr has to go back to 'normal' life, how will she fare? But trouble isn't far away in the form of Spencer. When Starr and Spencer first meet it didn't go too well, but they need to play friendly for the bride and groom.  But then plans change all around them and Starr and Spencer are about to see a lot more of each other. 
This was an easy book to get into. It jumped right into and didn't really play around - which I really enjoyed. I find that sometimes, there is too much explanation given where there doesn't need to be. But this was a great combination of letting the readers know about the characters and the story moving along.  And that really stuck throughout the novel.

I really enjoyed the pace of No Heartbreaker Required. It was a good combination of being fast-paced but also slowed down when needed. In saying that I did feel at parts I was hanging for a little more and it was all just brushed over. 

Starr was a pretty easy protagonist to get along with. But I also didn't feel any real connection with her. I think that is one of the things that No Heartbreaker Required did lack.  I felt that there wasn't much character building. Starr just didn't feel fully real at times. In saying that I liked how she did grow, the reader is able to see Starr at her worse and then build up from that. 

Like Starr, Spencer was easy to read, but I again I felt that he lacked substance. I really wanted more from him, but I felt that the reader doesn't even get to know him until right at the end. I also wanted to like Spencer more, but because of the lack of connection, I felt that he was boring.  While I didn't fall in love with the protagonist, I did like the storyline. I felt that it was engaging and I wanted to know what was going to happen next.
I also liked how the author included diversity. Starr is suffering from a form of PTSD at the start of the book from a skiing accident. And while I wish she delved into it a little more. I did like that she included and the reader was able to see Starr try and overcome her fears. 

Overall, No Heartbreaker Required by JoAnn Sky was a nice read. It's one of those books that you might pick up when you have no idea what to read. It's an easy read that when you finish, you just smile. No Heartbreaker Required has a great combination of romance, family and surviving. While this isn't my favourite romance out there, I really enjoyed reading it and will most likely read more books by the author.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

Starr and Spencer!

Starr’s life has completely fallen apart after she almost lost her life in an avalanche. Now, she’s afraid to be on the mountain! Then her boyfriend dumps her, and her sponsor starts to back off. She just needs to get through her brother’s wedding and then she has time to figure out her life. Of course, now she needs to deal with the best man being a jerk! But she is attracted to him!

Spencer is a reluctant best man. He doesn’t believe in marriage or commitment, and he’s known to be a playboy. But suddenly he finds himself attracted to Isla and he doesn’t want to leave her as he knows he should.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read. I did not find myself invested in the story as much as I would have liked, but it was enjoyable in it’s own right.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the Entangled Publishing. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely.

Starr is a well known skier and hasn't been on the slopes since an avalanche caught up with her leaving her shaken. While she tries to deal with that because of a recent wedding she now has to deal with Spencer.

I wasn't sure how to write more of a description without writing too much about the story. If you like a good contemporary romance you'll like this. I enjoyed getting to konw the two characters. Starr has some confidence issues after her accident and with an ex like hers and you know what there was just too much going on for her no wonder shes having issues. Then there's spenser who was a bit of a pain in the butt, and while he was well intentioned it could be seen as pushy and communication between the two was obviously an issue. Overall this book was pretty good, I pretty much devoured this book today and just read from start to end because I really was enjoying the book that much.

Starr meets Spencer acting like a jerk at the beginning of the story, but he quickly tries to redeem himself at the wedding they are both participating in. I really enjoyed the way Spencer changed throughout the book and became a character you could really like and admire. A nice touch was this story included a child with autism which was handled very well.

This was slow burn for me and while it was ok I wasn't sure that these two really fell in love. And also there were alot of little plots that even though it added some stuff to the story I felt it was pages of stuff that we really didn't need and so it detracted from my enjoyment.

I was easily drawn into NO HEARTBREAKER REQUIRED and completely enjoyed Starr and Spencer’s journey to an eventual happy ending. At one time Starr was an Olympic hopeful skier, she had the talent and was on the fast track to success when an avalanche happened on the mountain. While not physically injured her confidence floundered as she was terrified of returning to the mountains again to ski. The same day her boyfriend basically dumped her, and the company she’s sponsored by is slowly pulling away since she isn’t really competing in her sport much due to her panic attacks at even thinking of going back up there. Starr’s had a lot happen to her in a short time, yet she also knows she’ll come out the other side one day, just not today. In the meantime, she’s back home in her small town, working with teens and trying to put her life back together again. Right now she has a wedding to get through as her soon-to-be sister-in-law’s maid of honor. She’s happy for her brother and his new family but feels the lack of someone special in her own life.

Spencer is in town for his best friend’s wedding and to act as Best Man. He’s not really thrilled to be here as he feels the need to be back in New York dealing with a client there. As a lawyer, Spencer shines, as a man, well, he’s more the woman of the night kind of player who never intends to be shackled to one woman the rest of his life. His disbelief in love and happy forever with one person is obvious to all, but he’ll suck it up for Grace and give her his best. The last thing he expected was to be attracted to a woman who obviously wants nothing to do with him, have his wallet stolen and end up fighting for the kid who did it, being charmed by Grace’s new family and new town or having second thoughts about what he really wants out of life. His feelings for Starr are too strong to ignore, now he has choices to make – and a woman to convince that anyone, even him, can change.

I loved running into old friends from the first story in this series, NO COWBOY REQUIRED and seeing them play such an important part in this one. While I would recommend reading this as a series from start to finish if you cannot then there is enough information given in dialogue and narrative to not be the least bit lost. I enjoyed watching the changes in Starr and in Spencer. There are several threads running through their romance that there is always something happening at that moment. It didn’t feel like too much, yet it did keep me on my toes throughout. Theirs is more of a slow burn romance with a fade to black scenes, but enough chemistry to use your imagination. I had fun with NO HEARTBREAKER REQUIRED and would not hesitate to recommend it to any Romance reader.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

No Heartbreaker Required is the second book in the series by JoAnn Sky. It begins with the wedding of Grace and Noah from the first book. Starr is Noah’s sister and the maid of honor. This is Starr’s story. It is a stand-alone book so if you haven’t yet had the opportunity to read the first book, No Cowboy Required, no problem.

Starr has had a bad year with a terrible skiing accident in which she lost not only her way in the avalanche but also in life. I liked how happy she was for her brother, knowing that in time she would find herself again. Spencer was one of those characters that I wasn’t anymore sure of than Starr was when she first met him. Over time Starr saw him differently and so did I. With several other subplots going on along with the major one for Starr and Spencer, this was never a dull read. I can recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a heroine who discovers her way and in the progress also helps others.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Book two of a series. Can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed the story. There was of course some angst as the characters really didn't like one another initially. The characters were well developed and we learned more about them as the story continued and as the characters changed. I would definitely recommend this book as well as this author!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and Entangled Bliss and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I really fell for Spencer and Starr. I absolutely fell for JJ (the young boy with autism). The plot was so real and heart-felt. I can't imagine what Starr went through and the after effect that she suffered through. Spencer, the typical alpha male, had women falling all over men but ultimately he fell hard for Starr. These two had some very funny spots in their journey to their HEA and some that were difficult because of miscommunication but ultimately the journey was completed very nicely.

I didn't feel at any time that the story felt forced or slow. The plot was well done and had a great sense of timing. I really appreciated the dual POV format. Seeing the characters' thought process (especially Starr's) was very well written and just wonderfully human.

The author eluded to bedroom scenes but was left to the reader's imagination. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Wonderful sweet read that me hours of entertainment leaving me with a sigh and a smile. Troubled Starr touched my heart and Spencer was just so cute! The author did a great job of developing these characters and letting their story flow from the pages of the book. I've enjoyed both stories in this series and I'm looking forward to more. I definitely recommend this one.

After a traumatic experience Starr not only lost her boyfriend, but it also caused her to be afraid of the sport she has loved since she was a child. She is trying to pick up the pieces of her life without letting those closest to her know what she is going through. She is distracting herself by planning her brother’s wedding, but she never expected her future sister in-law’s best friend to turn her life upside down.

Spencer is a high profile corporate attorney who is focused on his career and doesn’t have time for love or relationships and has created quite the reputation for himself when it comes to women. He was in town to attend his best friend’s wedding and was supposed to leave the next door but when Starr convinces him to help the boy that stole his wallet it causes him to re-evaluate his life.

This is a slow burning heartwarming story about love, family and realizing what is truly important in life.
