Two novellas are provided with a good-hearted, fast thinking cowboy in each. Miller's Ask Me Again has rancher/cowboy Jack discovering that he is a father when his drug addict ex drops off their son. Luckily, Jack's new neighbor Harper, a social worker, is also the new counselor in the local school system. A tender story, the author astutely handles the developing relationships, coupled with strong parenting and therapy.
In Graham's The Cowboy, an FBI agent fills the role. Adrien is transferred to Florida to work on what becomes a kidnapping ring operated by a vindictive, vengeful man. Adrien works closely with local law enforcement agencies, especially with Detective Vicky Henderson with the sheriff's department. Fast paced with romance, the book places emphasis on the kidnapping ring and how to help those who have been used in the process.

A great read from two great authors. If you like cowboys this is the book for you, romance, suspense can’t beat it

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

this book has two stories, both authors are favorites of mine. good stories. I enjoyed them very much.

Two great books in one. I’ve read several by Linda Lael Miller and this did not disappoint. When Jack finds out he has a child he wasn’t informed of, he instantly kicks into responsible dad mode. What ensues is a new neighbor that catches his eye, the son’s drug addicted mom and a wild ride after everything goes haywire. It was fantastic from start to finish. My surprise then came in the second book by Heather Graham. This book had more scary action than a little bit. Vicky and Adrien join forces with several agencies to take down one bad guy and all hell breaks out, more than once. The relationship between them isn’t all business either. This is my first time reading this author and I look forward to read more. Book provided by NetGalley.

I loved both of these stories. You can't go wrong with Linda Lael Miller stories as she is wonderful, gifted writer. I have enjoyed every single book of hers I have read. I am definitely adding Heather Graham to my list of authors that are must reads.

Two quick novellas from Linda Lael Miller and Heather Graham. The second was more quick paced with the suspense part. I don’t remember previous Graham books being so focused on dialogue that felt teenager-ish.

This was a fun read with two novellas in one that were both fun and easy to read quickly.

The first Novella is about Jack who has a child dropped off to him that is his son he didn’t know about but now needs to take care of. This story is him navigating fatherhood while also meeting a new neighbour who he takes a shine to and is a sweet romance between the two, almost kind of the setting up of their relationship.

The second Novella was very different to the first as there’s a lot of action in this story. We follow Adrien who comes to town on a job undercover where he meets Vicky, a local detective who was also undercover. We follow them as they track down members of a trafficking ring through while they also get tracked themselves. This story only spans over a few days but on the job they’re together 24/7 and they fall fast.

Ask Me Again by Linda Lael Miller

This was a sweet cowboy romance. It’s a very easy read about a cowboy that finds out he has a 12 year old son. He meets a really sweet woman. It’s a heartwarming story that leaves you smiling at the end.

The Cowboy by Heather Graham

This short story was loaded with suspense. It had a fun atmosphere to it. The imagery was terrific. I felt as though I was there with the characters.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

I enjoyed this book very much. It had two short stories by two of my favorite authors. They were well written and held my interest.

There are two stories in this book the first is about a rancher who becomes a father and looking for help and the female character is a burnout social worker. They mesh in that they both have a similar outlook on life, so it was not a touchy-feely love story at least the way I took it. Still a good story with good characters.
The second book has an FBI agent and a cop who get together to try to bring down a trafficking ring, this has more action and the two characters are into each other while trying to work and solve the case. A good book as well.

In Need of a Cowboy contains two novellas.

Ask Me Again, by Linda Lael Miller is about a rancher who suddenly and unexpectedly finds out he is a father when the child is dropped off to him. He is willing to take the child but not always sure how to deal with him. Lucky for him a burnt out social worker city girl moves in across the road and she is willing to help. A very easy romance and a good look at the difficulties of unexpected parenting of a child in a difficult situation is done with Miller's usual fine storytelling.

The Cowboy is an intense thriller/mystery by Heather Graham. A local cop and a cowboy FBI agent are involved in finding two young women who have disappeared. They wind up tracking a very bad criminal and his minions through the Florida Everglades with the help of tribal law enforcement. The descriptions of the Everglades were interesting and the plot is complex. The local cop and the FBI agent not only catch the bad guys but end up in a romance.

This pairing will broaden readers usual choices.

I was able to read this thanks to NetGalley. In Need of a Cowboy is a set of two novellas from Linda Lael Miller and Heather Graham. I enjoyed them immensely. Linda Lael Miller is one of my favorite authors. Heather Graham is a new to me author. I will definitely pick up another of her books.

Two very different but interesting novellas. First one is playing on trope of unknown son. Second on how first impressions are different from reality. Pick up for both.

A book with two great short stories. Great writing. Loved the characters. The first is a sweet romance, the second a suspense. Recommend reading theses lovely stories

This was such a great time! It reminded me of Hart of Dixie, which is one of my all-time favorite shows. I love the trope of the city girl moving to the small country town, and this book had such great comforting tropes that made it easy to read and fun too!

I absolutely loved this collection of two novellas. It is full of heart, romance, and a obviously COWBOYS.
The first novella, which is by Linda Lael Miller, is about a single dad and a woman who has been cheated in love. It isn’t a love story, it is more of a story about a family forming and strengthening bonds. I absolutely loved this. The romance is a bit toned down in it, but Gideon (the son) and the two dogs (Ollie and Trey).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The second Novella by Heather Graham is about a cop and a FBI agent who fall in love meanwhile bringing down bad guys who run a trafficking ring.
This was full of adventure, action, and love. The trio made it a fun read. I wasn’t particularly aware of Heather Graham before reading this Novella, but now I can’t wait to read more of her.
⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is nothing I enjoy more than reading a sweet romance and when that romance features a cowboy, I am one happy lady. 𝗜𝗡 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗔 𝗖𝗢𝗪𝗕𝗢𝗬 was enjoyable from start to finish. I choose to read each romance between longer, heavier reads as a way to cleanse my reading palette and it was perfect. Both stories kept me engaged and were read in one sitting stories. If you love a good cowboy romance, this is the perfect book for you. TBR and Enjoy.
