Book Review: No Cowboy Required

No Cowboy Required, by JoAnn Sky is a contemporary romance focused on family.

Grace Harper is finally returning back home to her family ranch, after the death of her father and stepmother. She's unprepared for the responsibilities involved with dealing with the financially-failing ranch, as well as caring for her younger autistic stepbrother. However, Grace has some surprise help from Noah, who is currently caring for her brother and the ranch, and he happens to be her former boyfriend.

Noah said goodbye to Grace several years ago, and he emotionally pushed her away in order for Grace to pursue her dream in the city. Despite his love for Grace, Noah stayed in their hometown to care for his ailing father and younger sister. Now, he's hoping for a second chance with Grace, as she reacquaints herself with the ranch and starts to develop a relationship with her stepbrother. Grace and her brother bond over their mutual love of animals and art, particularly photography and sketching.

Both Noah and Grace are dealing with a lot of issues with their families and current situations; however, they are still attracted to each other after all these years. As the story unfolds, Noah and Grace strive to make the right choices in their lives, which often lead to more issues. However, it's still a sweet, heartfelt story.

No Cowboy Required is enjoyable and geared towards those who enjoy reading modern romances.
