A Cowboy Like You

Huge thank you to the publisher for sending me this in exchange for my honest review!

As soon as this was on my kindle, I screamed, and then read it immediately and it was wonderful. I also want to take a moment to appreciate that COVER!! The colors and that MAN! *swoon* I just love cowboys okay.

I actually haven’t read much from this author previously but it in no way affected my overall enjoyment of the stories; instead it made me want to read the other books in the series! I really love a protective hero and seeing how protective Danny was of Skylar just made me squeal into my pillow. I love a second chance romance especially one that goes back to high school! It’s just so sweet!!

I thought the suspense element was really great too and it made this book fly by for me. It was addicting to see what was going to happen and how these two, despite everything, we’re going to get their happily ever after! Danny and Skylar were just perfect for each other! I loved how their relationship had a strong sense of friendship. Not only do these two fall in love with who the other grew up to be, they fall in LIKE as well and it’s so refreshing to read!

Definitely be sure to pick this up if you’re in the mood for a suspense and heartwarming romance! I’m excited to read more from Donna Grant!

I really enjoyed this story and it is definitely one I would recommend!
From the start to finish it was a great story that was fast paced and I thought it was a really good read.
The storyline was really enjoyable and I thought that the author had done a brilliant job with the plot as there was something happening all the time and in each chapter.
I thought that the characters were very strong and believable, anyone who follows my reviews will know I am a massive fan of this author's books and this is another excellent release from her.
It is 5 stars from me for this one, very highly recommended!!

"A Cowboy Like You" by Donna Grant was a very good read. It was a fast-paced story with suspense and romance. I loved the interaction between Danny and Skylar, as well as the drama Skylar brought into Danny and his friends' lives. I thoroughly enjoy a book that keeps me turning the pages (even keeping me reading into the night) and this book did just that. If you like a book that has both romance and a storyline that keeps you riveted to its pages, then this is a book that you will truly enjoy. (I was given a copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.)

A Cowboy Like You is a wonderful romantic book with a great storyline.
Danny the Sheriff of Lone Star has a hectic but lonely life, not having settled down with anyone he’s home alone most night with a bottle of bourbon for company.
Into his life comes Skylar, previously his childhood crush, she left Lone Star for the bright lights of Houston but has now returned to escape an extremely abusive and violent relationship. Her ex is not going to let her go, determined if he can’t have her no one else will.
As Danny fights to protect her their relationship grows both passionately and lovingly, meanwhile the ex is going all out to harm those close to Skylar and plotting to get his hands back on her.
I’m not writing more about this plot it’s too good to give away! all I will say is it’s a cracker of a story with a very satisfying finale.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

ARC received for review

Another great book by Ms. Grant, not only can she do dragon kings but also cowboys. Danny is the local sheriff and he once loved Skylar. She left, but now she's back and trouble is following her. Danny is her knight with a shiny star, and lots of hot lovin'. Lots of help from the previous couples, as well as couple of yummy friends who I hope get their own books.

A Cowboy Like You was quite the read! Intense drama, great suspense, one charmingly sweet cowboy, and a stronger-than-she-knows heroine, there was so much happening, I couldn’t turn away! I haven’t read previous books in this series and had no trouble following who’s who. However, my curiosity was definitely engaged about recurring characters and I can’t wait to read this backlist!

Possible triggers-domestic abuse/stalking

I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

Donna Grant tells another great cowboy romance!!! Love this series! The characters and the story draw you in and you just can't put it down. I highly recommend.

Donna Grant is an auto-buy for me - and this book did NOT disappoint. I love these Texas boys and their ladies. I have loved Danny in every installment of this series so far. I was hoping he'd find someone and Donna Grant has provided!

Danny and Skylar knew each other in high school - but never connected on a romantic level, even though both clearly were interested in each other. For Danny, Skylar is definitely the one who got away. Now they are brought back together again in less than ideal circumstances. Skylar is trying to escape from an abusive relationship with a really really bad guy and her encounter with Danny seems guided by fate. Seeing this tightly knit group of people come together to help each other and especially Skylar was awesome.

There is a lot of action in this book and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I already can't wait to read the next installment!

Love this book and this series!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review - and that is what you got!

This was a very sweet book. Low angst between the hero and heroine, and a sweet hero that was still a little bit alpha. This was a new to me author and I'll definitely be reading more of her work!

Danny and Sklar are wonderful characters from Donna Grant! Danny, small town sheriff who's lonely, but has a heart of pure gold. Skylar, small town girl who left for the big city to find her dreams.

Danny is in the right place at the right time to save Skylar from her abusive ex. She's always been the 'one who got away' for Danny, so when they reconnect, even under terrible circumstances, his protective instincts shine through as well as the true feelings he carries.

This story has drama, mystery, suspense, passion, friendship and unconditional love. The other characters in this book are caring, funny, witty, strong-minded, and would do anything for a friend in need.

This was a great book - I really enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley and Donna Grant for the opportunity to read such a wonderful story!

That's right! Everyone needs a cowboy like Danny!!

This was the best of all the series so far. I have read and loved each one of the stories in this series. I see many more characters about which to write. Every one of these characters is an entity unto himself. These are the friends I would want to have should the need arise. Abby and Clayton are the best. Ms. Grant, if you've based them on real people in your life, please send me in their direction. And Danny....what can you say about a hero such as him. He's a man who puts everyone else first. One can't even say he puts himself last because he doesn't even enter the equation. He's been active in each story and always a hero in my book.

I cannot wait for the next installment! If the next one's are as well-written, we have a long reading life ahead of us.

This book was gifted to me by NetGalley and the author in return for an honest review.

LOVED this book! Danny is the positively swoon-worthy sheriff who has a job he loves, lots of good friends, but yet is lonely as he goes home to an empty house each night. Skylar is the girl he had a crush on all through school, but was afraid to ever ask out. Since she left the area right after high school, he never had the chance as an adult. A chance encounter puts them back together, even as Skylar is literally fighting for her life.

This is an engaging novel that tackles the tough subject of domestic violence and just how hard it can be for some women to escape it, We've all read the statistics showing that the most dangerous time for a woman is when she's leaving the abuser - the author tells the story of just how dangerous it can be through Skylar. Yes, the over the top money and resources her abuser has are over the top, however, she makes it feel relatable.

I love the men in this series and, while this is a stand alone novel, enjoyed the characters from the prior books making an appearance in this novel.

If you enjoy sexy cowboys and a strong woman who just needs a bit of help, you will love this book. The author is on my must read authors' list.

This is a great series- very suspenseful, dramatic and romantic! I loved the East and Harpers and Sheriff Danny was great in those books. I was excited to read his story. He is a tough man, hard working and always detached from the others. He enjoys his friends and their family, but he thought he would settled with his own family by now. Memories of the one who got away are always present with Danny, so when Skylar arrives back in town Danny is not only shocked by on high alert as Skylar brings an ex to town who is dangerous and not about to let her go.

Skylar is on the run and for some reason her hometown is where she lands. Problem is she led her ex there and he is hell bent to get her home at whatever cost. Luckily, the local Sheriff rescues her from the clutches of the evil ex Matt. Sheriff Danny- that doesn't surprise Skylar as Danny was always quick to lend a hand and help others. She isn't even surprised that she is attracted to Danny since she always had a connection she felt to him.

The entire Harper/East and friends gang are soon brought into the action of Matt and his terrorizing of Skylar. This gang is the real deal when it comes to having their friends' backs.

As with the rest in this series, this was an an energetic, thought out plot that was made a great read. The drama, action and romance was the perfect amount.

Thanks NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the ARC.

“A Cowboy Like You” is a well written and addictive story that draws you into the life of Danny Oldman, a positively handsome Lone Star sheriff. He is married to his job and longs to have the kind of love and relationship that others have, however the one person he loves is an old high school crush that has made a new life in Houston, TX.

It is not until Skylar Long walks back into Danny's life that old memories of her start to resurface. His heart stirs up old feelings and a hope that he can get a second chance to win her heart. There is only one problem that could keep them apart and that is her crazy obsessive ex-boyfriend who is bent on having Skyler for himself and will not let anything get in his way...not even Danny. He must protect her at all cost if he wants to get into her heart.

This story is well-rounded with its share of intimacy, friendship, trust and suspense that had me turning the pages as well as loving the rekindling relationship between the two characters. Danny and Skylar are truly made for one another and this book was amazing from start to finish.

Donna Grant is a newcomer as authors go to this reader. I thought the story was sweet, wonderful, a bit witty in areas, delightful with a pinch of suspense. It has the kind of drama that makes you believe that regardless of the circumstances one sees on the outside, when trust and faith are introduced... love will prevail.

Thanks very much to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

5-Stars
