ARC Review: Small Town Hero by Linda Lael Miller & Maisey Yates

ONE LONESOME COWBOY
by Linda Lael Miller
When a family crisis brings web designer and part-time house flipper Susannah Holiday to Arizona to care for her young niece, she’s soon juggling work, childcare—and her growing feelings for local paramedic and horse whisperer Ian McKenzie. They have more in common than meets the eye—including being cautious when it comes to love. But when a disturbing revelation from Susannah’s past surfaces, Ian is there to comfort her, and they both find their longing hearts opening to a better future—together . . .

COWBOY, TAKE ME AWAY
by Maisey Yates
After Birdie Lennox, daughter of a notorious cattle rustler, gets caught stealing a horse off Gunnar Parsons’ land, she ends up bunking in his barn to work off her debt—plus her daddy’s. But Birdie hardly has patience for Gunnar’s moralizing. The man inherited his ranch and has always hated her family. Still, it beats prison. Maybe. What neither anticipates is discovering they have more in common than they dreamed possible. Even more unexpected is the spark between them—and the love it might ignite. 
This was an enjoyable quick read. I liked both stories. They were both very short though. I know they are novellas, but I still think they could have done with each of them having a few more characters. It really would have flushed out the stories more. Of the two I liked Miller slightly more. Not by much but hers worked better for me. 

What I didn't like about Miller's, both really was that they felt a bit rushed. It took a bit for both of them to find or show the romance of their relationship, and I have to say that Miller's kind of jumped from meeting each other to love. 

I did really like all four characters. They made their individual stories. Without them being so likable I'm not sure how I'd feel. I will say this book in perfect for those who don't have a ton of time to read but still want some to enjoy.
