Great story and I loved the characters - who doesn't love a handsome cowboy and a HEA? As usual, Ms. Grant doesn't disappoint in any genre and I hope to read more of this series soon.

This book is the 3rd in a standalone series.
It focuses on Caleb the youngest of the siblings. While you don't have to read the first 2 books, I say read them. The book was fast paced but definitely enjoyable.
Thanks for the Arc

**I received a copy of My Favorite Cowboy from St. Martins Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review** The opinions expressed below are mine alone and not solicited in any way.

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant is the third book in her Heart of Texas series. I have enjoyed each one of these books in the series and it doesn't disappoint. This is Caleb and Audrey's story which has intrigue, mystery and each character battling their abandonment issues by parents.

Audrey Martinez is called out to a horse rescue where 3 of the horses are ill by a unknown poison. She's a new equine vet in her hometown and little does she know that someone with a vendetta against her will go to any lengths to destroy the evidence before she can find the cause and cure. When Caleb Harper happens to be there to help her but can both of them get over their parents leaving them when they were young? Will they find the culprit in time while finding out they really care for each other?

Caleb Harper who owns East Ranch with his siblings is horse whisperer looking a new rescues at David's Auction barn who witnesses Audrey puzzling three horses that have fallen ill. He just happens to be there when someone tries to burn all the evidence from the equine necropsy Audrey has done on one of the horses that died. Of course he's going to volunteer to protect Audrey even though both are gun shy from relationships. Can they find the person who seems to have a vendetta against her in time before they escalate to murder? Once they both decide that both Audrey and Caleb are each other's soulmate while resolving their own parental issues.

My hope is that Maddie will fall for either Jace or Cooper in perhaps just one more book?

This is the third book in the Heart of Texas series and features the youngest sibling, Caleb. Caleb was probably the most affected by his mother's abandonment of the the three children so it's stands to reason he has issues committing to a woman beyond one night. However, all that changes when he meets Aubrey and realizes that she might just be worth more than a night. Now he just needs to convince her of the same.
This was a great blend of romance and suspense that kept me reading past my bedtime. Of course it didn't hurt that the book featured a cowboy! Donna Grant's contemporary novels are definitely on my must read list.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I will literally read anything Grant writes! She is able to switch from contemporary, paranormal, and fantasy with no hiccups! It's amazing!

This was an okay read, I kinda wished I’d read the other books first, but I don’t know if I would go back and read them. The story was fast paced, but that’s not always a good thing as you don’t always get the character development. The overall story was good, but the mystery took over most the book and once that was solved, it ended very quickly, again not much development between the two main characters

A wonderful tale of family, intrigue and romance. After working years to build up a sterling reputation, veterinarian Audrey Martinez is a target. Someone was to ruin her at the least... or kill her. There are horses dying and an assault upon her sisters and the ladies need a hero. Lucky for them, they get multiple protectors...and Audrey gets a good man in the end.
Great interaction between characters and vivid descripions.
I requested and received a NetGalley ARC. I love this series. Strong women and hot honorable men

I've received a ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It was a slow start at the beginning of the novel that I debated rather or not I should drop it but I thought I would give it some time for the story to develop and I'm so glad I did.

The characters were really likable and the relationship didn't seem force nor rushed. I enjoyed the bubbling romance between Audrey and Caleb, their chemistry is impeccable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a romance novel with lots of twists and turns.

With the perfect mixture of romance and suspense, the story’s rapid pace and twists and turn of events will keep you turning the pages. You won’t be disappointed with the story’s outcome or in Audrey and Caleb and how quickly you become invested in their circumventing the obstacles attempting to prevent their finally finding their HEA.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

So this is either second or third in series, I started with Brice's book but they seem to elude to situations that they went thru, so I am going to make sure since I do not want to miss out. This was Caleb's story along with his love interest Audrey. We all know that Caleb is a playboy with no plans on changing that. He ends up meeting Audrey and she is an equine vet who was called in to assist Dave and the horses that he cares for in his auction house. They know that something sinister is happening. But as we learned from this family they go all in and they basically make you part of their protection. Calab's and Audrey's interest is there and they both would time to develop more but they are not having the chance to do so..Entertaining..Good to read on Brice and Naomi..

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant is a great read, I could hardly put it down. Donna gives the reader a interesting story line with complex characters, a who done it and plenty of romance. The family backgrounds of the lead characters, Caleb and Audrey, make things difficult but the amazing part of their relationship is that they are both afraid of falling in love. The story itself is involved with Audrey, a veterinarian, helping, David, an old friend of her father's with some sick horses. Caleb gets involved when David asks about getting help with his security system from Caleb's brother-in-law, Clayton. Things get more and more involved as more horses are getting sick and Audrey can't seem to find out what's wrong with them. After one of the horses dies things heat up as Audrey finds out, with much difficulty, what's wrong with the horses. Caleb and his family are involved because, while the horses are the catalyst, Audrey is the intended victim. Now Caleb is trying to keep Audrey safe while not wanting to become involved with her. Finding out what's really going on is the mission. Things are going down hill as they can't figure out who is behind all the problems pointing to discredit Audrey. Finally thing become apparent to interested parties and a resolution is upcoming. The romance between Audrey and Caleb keeps the reader interested learning about how they feel and what's holding them back until there's a conclusion that is greatly satisfying.

My Favorite Cowboy is the 3rd book in the Hearts of Texas series, not having read the previous two in no way spoilt my enjoyment of this book, plus I now have two new books to read!
Audrey is an equine vet, superb at her job and much in demand, she has a deep love for horses and gives her all to her profession. When four horses belonging to a friend who owns an auction house suddenly become ill she responds immediately to his request for help. It soon becomes clear that the horses have been poisoned deliberately and Audrey faces a race against time to cure them. Through this she meets Caleb, previously a military hero he now trains horses and is something of a horse whisperer. Their attraction to each other is immediate and overwhelming but both have severe commitment issues, add this to the mystery of who is harming these horses and why and you have an excellent romantic thriller.
A great story, thoroughly readable and one in which I have no hesitation in recommending.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Audrey is a veterinarian who absolutely loves animals. She is amazing at her job and is in high demand. She is asked to do a favor for a friend and tasked to find out why his horses are sick. This puts her on a path she didn't see coming. While she is trying to figure out who is hurting these animals, someone is trying to hurt her. With all this danger she comes face to face with a very good looking cowboy who is hell bent on protecting her.

Caleb is instantly attracted to Audrey. From the way she looks, her caring nature, her determination and her smile, Caleb who is a confirmed bachelor is blown away. Meeting her in a tense situation leads him to think that once he gets her between the sheets this attraction will fade and he will move on like all the others.

This book has it all - danger, suspense, laughter, drama, sexy times and family loyalty. I would highly recommend this book!

This is my first Donna Grant book and i really enjoyed this story. I loved the characters as well as as the story line. Audrey and Caleb worked well together and had an instant attraction and chemistry. Add a little suspense to the mix and it made the book perfect. My Favorite Cowboy is part of a series but can be easily read as a stand alone. I definitely will be checking out the first two books in this series.

Donna Grant hits it every time with her characters. I fell in love with the storyline by chapter 2.
The way her characters interact and stand behind friends no matter what, makes you want to crawl into the story just to be on the fringe.
She weaves a story so you can't put it down, then when you read the last page you want to just start over.

My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant is a fantastic contemporary romance. Ms. Grant has once again delivered a well-written book. The characters in this book are outstanding, but the dialog. Wow! The dialog and interaction between characters were perfect. Audrey is an equine vet and is called to help David, a friend of her father's when horses in his care are sick. David calls in Caleb and his family for security when they find the horses have been poisoned. Caleb and Audrey's story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. This book captured me on the first page and held me hostage until the last. I loved reading My Favorite Cowboy and look forward to my next book by Donna Grant. My Favorite Cowboy is book 3 of the Heart of Texas Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

love this series. I think Caleb is my favorite and i'm so glad he finally got his story and a taste of his own medicine.

I really enjoyed this story, it was well written and I loved getting to know the characters.

I love this author's books and always jump at the chance to get my hands on a copy of her latest release and this one was no different. It is a well written and enjoyable story.

The only minor criticism I have was that I thought that the story was a little too predictable, I know the storylines in this series all tend to get the same, almost inevitable outcome, but I love reading how the characters get there.

For this one I felt like the story was dragged out almost to the end of the book and then it was all wrapped up in the final two-three chapters - it could have been expended at the end with some of the middle cut back to make it more enjoyable, but that's just my opinion.

Four stars from me for this one!

ARC received for review

It's brother Caleb's turn to find his HEA, and he does with horse veterinarian Aubrey. Lots of sparks flying in the middle of horses getting sick, people getting shot at, a stampede, busted up offices and a hot times in the bedroom. True love wins out in the end, but of course, not without some angst thrown in the mix.
