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.

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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to authors, Kensington Publishing Corp., and NetGalley for the Arc

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.
