I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Cowboy Like You, by Donna Grant, is available at booksellers 11-26-19. As book 4 in the Heart of Texas series, Cowboy in some ways works as a standalone but I think reading the first 3 would give the reader more insight into the dynamics of the characters. The tidbits mentioned of other characters hinted at more backstory but didn't satisfy completely. I understand it's a fine line to walk, not getting too involved in secondary characters, but it didn't hit the mark.

Skylar Long is running from her abusive boyfriend. This time she almost got away. He tracks her like a big game hunter, he's awful. He fooled her for a long time before he let the crazy show. She also didn't bother to look past the surface, didn't ask questions I would have right away. For some reason she had started driving towards her old hometown & got lucky that the sheriff was around when Matt caught up to her. Turns out she went to school with the sheriff & he goes way above & beyond to help her. She got lucky, he's got an amazing group of friends to help keep Skylar safe while things work out. She becomes too trusting too fast for me to believe. After everything she's been through why isn't she more closed off & wary?

Sheriff Danny Oldman is a workaholic. Married to his job he hasn't had a date or relationship of any kind in years. It's a little hard to believe, not even the waitress at the diner? Anyone? He's given up. Skylar turns out to be his school crush, the one he never got over. It's too pat that they fall into a relationship right away, they knew immediately kind of thing.

I liked the characters, want to go back to book 1 and find out more about this tight group of friends. I want to know how it came to be. The story has plenty of drama, action, timely topic, lust, & romance. It just all happens too fast.

Sherriff Danny Oldman and Skylar

I wanted to like this one, but it was pretty boring...

Danny is the local sheriff and is lonely as his friends marry. He goes to have dinner that sets him up to be in the perfect place at the right time for help out an old friend and crush. Skyler is running away from an abusive boyfriend and just happens to park next to Danny. With the help of old friends and the town they protect Skyler from on of the most powerful families in Texas.
Old flames come back for these two. Its sweet and super cute when they can finally be together.


Overall, 3.5 stars and 3.5 steam

I have really liked this series so far. This one tells the story of Danny, the sheriff in town, who is liked by all due to his easy going friendly nature. However sometimes he just wants to be alone, not talking with everyone from town. So when he decided to eat at the truck stop to enjoy dinner and a view, he is surprised when a car pulls in immediately following another that ends in an arrest.

He was even more surprise when it is a woman from his past that he always had a crush on. He never thought Skylar would ever come back to town, she was a free spirit who was always destined to leave their small town. Skylar always trusted Danny, and when she sees him she finally breaks down. Telling him about her abusive ex, and all that has happened.

Danny fights to keep her safe, even when her ex has a lot of money and isn't afraid to play dirty. He can't believe she is back and wants to make sure she knows exactly how he feels and if they can finally have their chance.

While this talked about a really heavy subject matter, it also showed the lightness in the world when good people help each other out. Loved the small town charm and the fight in them both for justice.

I received a free copy from the publisher from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

While trying to escape an abusive relationship Skylar Long is rescued by the local sheriff, Danny Oldman. Turn out the Danny Oldman has had a crush on Sklyar since high school. He’s in the right place at the right time to help. Will Skylar finally be free? I thoroughly enjoyed this story not realizing it was set around Christmas. I did feel the story drug on at some points to whereI it could have been wrapped up sooner than it was. The story is a tough one because of physical and mental abuse. The author did a job developing the characters and keeping me in suspense as to when the “villain”, Matt, would strike again. The tension between Danny and Skylar was pretty hot and their time between the sheets was written well. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.25 stars. A Cowboy Like You is one of those stories that seems so much shorter than it truly is because it flies by as you are reading, and you fall in love with it quickly. There is enough action and drama to keep you on the edge of your seat, but the real core of the story is two people finding each other even in the turmoil of their lives and finding a way to overcome their obstacles to love. Danny is a hero in every sense of the word and a sexy beast in boots on top of that. I enjoyed every moment of truly getting to know him and found myself wishing I had my very own Danny to love. Skylar was in a truly difficult situation, but she managed to get herself out and instinctively took herself home, leaving fate to do the rest and bring her right into the arms of the one man that could truly save her in every way. She needed help, but she doesn’t cave under pressure or in the face of danger and leave others to fight her fights, standing up and making sure that her tormentor knows she is done and will bring him down once and for all. The passion between these two was incendiary and I was dying to see them in one another’s sphere each time it happened, but the sweet heat that was left burning after the initial flashes always left a warm glow for extended time. The love between Danny and Skylar is the kind we all hope to find someday and reminds readers that there truly is someone out there for us all if we just let fate lead us and keep our eyes and hearts open. I can’t wait for whatever comes next in this series and would love to see police chief Ryan maybe get his own book (wink wink, nudge nudge Donna)! Thanks for the repeated magic, Ms. Grant.

This was just okay for me. I haven't read the others in this series, so the beginning was a little confusing when Danny takes Skylar to the East Ranch and everyone is there. They're sorta introduced, but there is so many people it was overwhelming. I wasn't a fan of how fast the MCs get into a relationship either. While I get instant attraction, a woman escaping from an abusive relationship doesn't strike me as someone who would immediately jump into another relationship. The whole "they went to high school together" didn't really work for me either. That was at least 15 years ago, and they weren't even really friends then. The stuff that happens with Matt towards the end of the book could be triggering for some people. It was a little heavier than I thought it would be. Danny and Skylar do get their HEA, even though it was hard fought. Although this wasn't a favorite, I would read this author again.

**I received a copy of a Cowboy Like You from Social Butterfly PR and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions and thoughts weren't solicited in any way.**

A Cowboy Like You by Donna Grant is the fourth book in her Heart of Texas series. I've read all of them as well as her Son's of Texas series too. But I have to tell you I loved this book, because of the TLC Ms. Grant took with the subject of a possessive and abusive boyfriend who doesn't understand the word NO. *There are triggers Domestic Abuse and stalker boyfriend.*

Danny Oldman is the Sheriff of Lone Star and longs for the family that all of his friends have but when he happens to be in the right place at the right time to rescue Skylar Long from her abusive boyfriend. They went to school and lost track after they graduated. Now Skylar needs his help when her ex-boyfriend follows her to Lone Star. But what she doesn't know is there is a lot more she didn't know about Matt Gaudet and his family who think money will solve everything or make it go away. It takes everyone from Clayton,Abby, Caleb, Audrey, Brice, Naomi and Cash to help dig up dirt and keep Skylar and Danny safe when Matt goes way beyond threats.

I hope all the remaining friends find their happy ever afters.

I really felt for Skylar, her ex wasn't just an asshat, he was a nasty piece of humanshite.

Danny and Skylar knew each other in HS, and he fancied her, but nothing ever happened. They meet again as she is running from her ex. Ok so yes not the best time to meet again, and sure I do wish more time had gone by. But then again, if you fall in love you fall in love. And they do try to take it slowly, and not you know jump each other at once.

The ex was a abusive, possessive scumbag. I hated him so much. And I want to say more, but spoilers, but oh it made me mad.

Danny was a good guy (I had to ask Carole about the whole cop vs sheriff thing and I still do not get it). But yes he is the sheriff.

Skylar was strong and determined. They were perfect for each other.

But before that there is a lot of ex drama, and more drama. And danger.

I liked it. There are lot of background people from previous books, but it still work great as it is.

Narrator
I liked Estrella, I have listened to her before (cowboy romances), and she is always great
