Skylar never thought her life would lead her back to her home town, but that exactly where she was headed when her life with her boyfriend took a frightening turn. She also never expected Danny to be the one to save her. All of a sudden it's like time never passed and all she can see is him. The Sheriff. The boy who was everyone's friend. Who would help anyone in need. Now it seems it's her turn, and she definitely needs help.
Danny never expected his evening would end with saving Skylar from her crazy boyfriend. He never expected to see her again. It's like she never left. Neither did his feelings for her. He would do anything to keep her safe. Even asking his friends for help. Every day with her makes it harder to ignore his feelings, it would only make things with her ex harder. Knowing she feels it too makes it impossible.
Her ex however will not give up easily, neither will his family. So keeping Skylar safe is all he can think about. He will not stop until she is free of het past, until her future is all she has to think about.
Another great story full of wonderful people and Cowboys who will do anything to protect the ones they love.

This book had a little bit of everything. It was a sweet, small-town, second chance romance but there was also an element of drama & suspense that made it hard to put the book down. Even though it was a bit predictable, I found myself devouring the book until I could see the bad guy get his just desserts and Danny & Skylar get their happy ever after.
This is absolutely a book, and series worth picking up!!

A Cowboy Like You is book 4 in the Heart of Texas series and it can be read as a stand-alone but I do recommend you start from the beginning because you get to know more about some of the secondary characters from this book.
I was so hooked into this story that I just couldn't put it down. This book has suspense and romance. I just loved the chemistry between Danny and Skylar. I loved seeing some of the characters from previous books as well.
I hear there will be the 5th book in this series and I can't wait to read it.
I do highly recommend this.
I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.
I’m a fan of this author’s Dragon and Reaper series....so imagine my surprise to a Heart of Texas romance. Friends through high school Danny and Skylar meet years later during one of Skylars lowest moments. Danny is now law enforcement and Skylar is in an abusive relationship that she’s try to leave.
What did I like? This is obviously a series with intertwined characters because small towns band together and the friend’s Danny has, are more than willing to help Skylar. Danny recognizes Skylar and now understands its now or never to disclose his feelings for her. I just love HEA books.
Would I buy this book? Series? This is nothing like the author’s other series but as a romance it stands firmly on its own. I think her Dragon series are better, and so I am prejudiced. I limit my book cash monthly so if it was a contest Dragons would win. It’s a sweet series though.
Thoughts for the author? Where was I when books one through three came out? Thanks again for allowing me a copy.

Not a bad story, but it fell a little flat for me. My suspension of disbelief was stretched fairly thin with the ending, and the set-up for the main romance was missing something. I enjoyed the tale, if not necessarily the storytelling.

A Cowboy Like You by Donna Grant is book number 4 in the Heart of Texas series. I previously read the third book, but do not feel like it is necessary to have read any of the other books, the author does a good job of setting up each story and the characters. For this book, I jumped right in with the action-packed beginning and pretty much read it straight through, with a little break for sleep. A Cowboy Like You is the story of Danny and Skylar and how he saves her from her horrendous ex-boyfriend. This book has a couple of racy scenes and a lot of things work out in the story for everything to move along how it does. Do not read this book looking for fine literature (I am in no way meaning it was not written well), but rather read it if you want to be fully entertained from start to finish. Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for giving me this book. This review is 100% my honest opinion.

A wonderful addition to the series (I've read other books in the series before) in general, and a story I just really enjoyed reading from beginning till end.
It wasn't anything overly spectacular and quite predictable, which is why I didn't rate it higher than 3,5 stars. But nonetheless, it was a book I was always excited for to pick up at the end of the day, when I read it on my Kindle in bed.
It was a fast paced read thanks to the enjoyable writing style.
I like the main characters in this one a lot, as well as the minor characters that we've come across in previous books (although, the book can be easily read as a stand alone as well btw!). They are all such a great bunch of people to get to know.
The Second chance romance was really well written in my opinion and I liked the small presence of suspense present in the story as well.
Overall, a contemporary romance that's a good in between read. I'd definitely recommend picking up the entire series, so you get to read the stories of all the characters you come across. It makes it that much more fun when you read later written installments and see characters reoccur in each other's story.

A Cowboy Like You, was an extremely enjoyable and engaging story. That pulled me in from the start. Thanks to a strong, plausible plot line, likable characters and a few edge of your seat moments. Not to mention a sweet romance that although a little rushed was still very pleasing to read. And with a small town setting, some nice secondary characters, and a lovely mix of real life issues, drama and suspense. I was easily hooked and would therefore happily recommend it to others.

A Cowboy Like You pretty much falls in line with the rest of the Heart of Texas series in terms of my feelings about the book. The story has some things I like and some I don't, landing me somewhere in the middle. The suspense is pretty good, and domestic violence is a serious topic when the main focus is supposed to be a romance. And that's where I started running into problems with this one. Not the domestic violence topic, I'm all for shedding light on a subject that was only whispered about for way too long. However, the romance in this one came up sorely lacking for me. I get that Skylar and Danny already knew each other, but it's not like they saw each other every day either. There should have been some getting to know each other time before they were madly in love. And speaking from experience, Skylar should not have been so willing to trust, especially while everything was still going on. The love story here just didn't ring true. The ending felt a bit rushed also, but when you consider the romance, it fits. In the end, this one was just okay for me.
