These were two great western romance stories and worked with everything that I was looking for and enjoyed from the authors. The stories were everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. I always enjoy the way Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates wrote this and am excited for more.

Sinopsis en español :


Las ciudades pueden ser pequeñas, pero los corazones de los héroes vaqueros en este dúo de novelas románticas son tan descomunales como la tierra escarpada que los rodea...

UN VAQUERO SOLITARIO
por Linda Lael Miller
Cuando una crisis familiar lleva a la diseñadora web y flipper a tiempo parcial a casas Susannah Holiday a Arizona para cuidar de su sobrina, pronto hace malabares con el trabajo, el cuidado de los niños y sus crecientes sentimientos por el paramédico local y susurrador de caballos Ian McKenzie. Tienen más en común de lo que parece, incluyendo ser cautelosos cuando se trata de amor. Pero cuando surge una revelación inquietante del pasado de Susannah, Ian está allí para consolarla, y ambos encuentran que sus corazones anhelantes se abren a un futuro mejor, juntos...

VAQUERO, LLÉVAME LEJOS
por Maisey Yates
Después de que Birdie Lennox, hija de un notorio ladrón de ganado, sea atrapada robando un caballo de la tierra de Gunnar Parsons, termina acostada en su granero para pagar su deuda, además de la de su padre. Pero Birdie apenas tiene paciencia para la moralización de Gunnar. El hombre heredó su rancho y siempre ha odiado a su familia. Aún así, es mejor que la cárcel. Tal vez. Lo que ninguno anticipa es descubrir que tienen más en común de lo que soñaban posible. Aún más inesperado es la chispa entre ellos, y el amor que podría encender...






Reseña:


Son dos pequeñas novelas que te hacen desear que fueran más largas porque tienen mucha tela de que cortar ( o sea que fácilmente podrían convertirse en libros completos).

Son ligueros, rápidos de leer, sin tanto drama y con vea asegurado.



Gracias NetGalley por el ARC.

Contiene dos novelas que fácilmente podrían ser libros completos. Qué lástima.

One Lonesome Cowboy. Trata sobre Susannah e Ian, quienes viven en diferentes estados y nunca se han conocido hasta que la hermana de ella es ingresada a un hospital psiquiátrico. Susannah debe hacerse cargo de su sobrina, por lo que se muda, y es ahí cuando conoce a Ian, un padre soltero con quien inmediatamente tiene una conexión.
Esta historia daba para más, ya que trata temas fuertes y sensibles, pero debido a lo corta que es, ninguno de esos temas se aborda a profundidad, y hay partes en las que parece como si me hubiera perdido algo.

Cowboy, Take Me Away. Birdie y Gunnar viven en el mismo lugar, pero no podrían ser más diferentes. El padre de ella es el delincuente del pueblo, mientras que la familia de él siempre fue respetable, lo que los hace como agua y aceite. Un día, ella intenta robar un caballo, pero él la detiene y le propone un trato: no llamará a la policía si ella trabaja para él. Ambos están solos: ella porque a su padre no le importa y la gente la evita por su reputación, y él porque toda su familia está muerta.
Me pasó lo mismo que con el anterior: es muy corto y no tiene un buen desarrollo, pero tiene mucho potencial para más.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Two books with characters that are dealing with difficult pasts but end up with new beginnings.

The first book by Linda Lael MIller deals with sisters, one with mental health concerns, and the other sister (Susannah) comes to take care of her and her sister's daughter. As Susannah gets acclimated to the town she meets Ian who is dealing with some of his own family issues. As the two grow closer together, Susannah remembers something from her past and her sisters circumstances that brought her to the mental Hospital. The ending of this book comes up pretty fast and it is a shorter story however Linda does give you a glimpse into their future which I enjoyed.

The second book by Maisey Yates deals with neighbors who have always been known as enemies however will Gunnar and Birdie move past the enemy stage and become more? When Gunnar finds Birdie on his land and up to know good he offers her a chance at redemption but they soon find out they don't have to be enemies but maybe they can be friends or more? Only time will tell. Maisey also gives you a glimpse into the future which is endearing.

Small Town Hero is what I like to call a slow burn romance. If you are looking for a quick read that is a clean romance this is a great one for you. I do wish we saw a little more build up to the main characters relationship at the beginning to draw you in more but overall I think it was a good read.

I was given a chance through NetGalley to read and review this book with my honest opinions. First I must say, I wasn't able to put this book down. From the very first page, I was hooked on these two Novellas!

First novella about Susannah and Ian. I feel the author did a great job involving the mental issues from trauma that arises in this book also. The only 'negative' thing I can say about this book, is it was a little rushed to be such a good book. I felt this book could have easily been its own standalone novel. So much was packed into a small novella. I will say, this had some adult content that I could have done without so be warned.

The second novella about Birdie and Gunnar captured me just as quickly. I loved how the author took someone whom everyone else looked down on, and made her feel such love.

I highly recommend reading these!!

In Small Town Hero Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates team up to bring two Novella’s. One Lonesome Cowboy,Linda Lael Miller writes about Susannah Holiday. Susannah comes out to Arizona to help her sister and niece. While there she meets Paramedic and Rancher Ian McKenzie. in Cowboy Take Me Away by Maisey Yates, Birdie Lennox is about to run from a cattle rustling father, by stealing a horse from Gunnar Parson. She is caught, but instead of jail, she has to work for Gunnar. This book was a fantastic read. I lived the Cowboy’s and the strong woman. I was able to read this through NetGalley.

I can not say enough great things about this beautifully written story. It pulls all the heartstrings and just was wonderfully done.

If you’re craving sweet yet passionate stories of small-town heroes and emotional growth, this anthology is a must-read. These cowboys might be tough on the outside, but they’re soft in all the right ways when it comes to love.

This book with two very different stories was pretty good. I enjoyed the first story more so than the second one.
