Caleb and Audrey are terrific together!

This is a solid romance story set on a foundation of suspense - who's poisoning the horses, and why? Audrey is the best vet in the area, but she's got an uphill climb trying to figure out what's killing the horses. Caleb is on hand to provide protection as she runs her tests and cares for the horses. There's plenty of excitement as he and his brothers are on high alert around the clock, trying to keep Audrey and her sister safe.

The mystery/suspense part of the story was well done, but the real meat of the story is the growing romance between Caleb and Audrey. They each have their reasons for not wanting to risk a long-term relationship, but their undeniable chemistry pulls them together faster than their gun-shy hearts can stop them. I loved the inclusion of the rest of Caleb's family; the celebrations and the heartaches all serve to round out these characters until they feel like your own family. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This is my first book by Donna Grant and I can assure you it will not be my last. I am going to get the first two in this series for starters!

I loved the mystery and suspense. I loved Caleb! Who doesn’t love a sexy cowboy, right?! Audrey is a dedicated vet who is passionate about her job and the animals. Both have issues with putting themselves out there for any type of relationship, nor do they want one. Well, that is until they are thrown together to figure out what is happening to the horses. The chemistry and attraction cannot be denied. As much as they try to deny it, to fight it, you know love will win out in the end.

This book has a great mix of mystery, suspense, romance, and family interwoven together nicely.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for an advance copy. This is my voluntary, unbiased review.

Donna Grant does a good job bringing romance to this series. The book was filled with heartwarming moments that helped this suspense filled novel.

I liked Caleb and Audrey as a couple. They were each a bit gun shy on relationships but these two matched well together.

I also enjoy how she brings the other characters back. They add to the enjoyment of the book.

I received a copy of this book for a honest review

This book is third in a series, but can be read as a standalone.

The cowboy and the vet were not a good match on paper, but sparks fly and they have to figure out a way to work it out. Although the entire vet/sick horse plotline seemed a little unrealistic the friendships and romantic relationship were easy to read.

This is the third book in this series and we finally get to know the youngest Harper brother, Caleb, who is newly retired from the military and working and living his passion as a horse trainer at the family ranch. This is where he meets Audrey Martinez, an equine veterinarian. These two are perfect for each other. Both are world weary and heart wise and both guard their hearts but the chemistry is palpable. Suspense, romance, family, cowboys, mystery, and so much chemistry keep the pages turning and I was not able to put this one down! This one can be read as a standalone but the entire series is great.

I knew Caleb's book would be the most emotional as he had the strongest abandonment issues of all of the Harper kids.
Audrey Martinez is an equine vet and is most wanted in town.,however when horses start dying by poison all evidence seems to lead to her.
The Harper's, Caleb's army buddies as well as the Martinez's are banding together to get to the bottom of this. Even with a little twists and turns..

This is a story that shows that family sticks together through whatever comes their way and a little romance helps as well.

from abandonment issues to stubbornness, this third story in the Heart of Texas series is sure to please. Caleb has all the characteristics of the traditional cowboy: the Stetson, the Boots and the attitude. But will his past create a future that is unlovable? Will his resistance to Audrey leave him in the dark emotionally? Will the mystery of the criminal horseplay be resolved?

Yet again I started a series with the last book but I didn't have a problem reading My Favorite Cowboy without first reading the previous books. Caleb Harper is the youngest of his siblings and was dealing with some pretty heavy abandonment issues. Which had him keeping his distance from veterinarian, Audrey Martinez. Until they're forced together by someone threatening the lives of horses and it's up to them to help stop whoever is poisoning the animals.

I love that both of these characters had their own hangups when it came to relationships and I thought it really made the story intriguing to see what would finally be the push that they needed to get together. It added that sexual tension that I love in romance books, which paired really well with the mystery aspect of the story.

I also enjoyed how deep the family connection was with the Harper siblings. I'm a sucker for a good family oriented story so now I definitely want to go back and read the first two books in the series. Overall, this book is a definite must read.

I'm really liking Donna Grant's writing style. She always brings to life such relatable characters. My Favorite Cowboy (ironically) wasn't my favorite in the series but I still really enjoyed reading about Audrey and Caleb. They were both down to earth, everyday people.

Audrey is a highly sought after veterinarian who finds herself in the center of a nasty horse poisoning investigation. When every lead they find, leads them back to her, things start to get complicated. Caleb and his family and friends come to her aide and together team up to uncover the real culprit behind the attacks.

There are always strong family ties and great friends in DG's books and this one was no exception. I loved the scene where Caleb claims Audrey and her sister as part of his inner circle. For someone used to being alone and just relying on her sister, his promise to always have her back was really touching.

The romance was a bit of push and pull from both sides, but the chemistry was good and getting inside both MCs heads kept the angst pretty low. Both MCs have trust issues but like mature adults, they talk through them and work it out. Overall this was a nice wrap up to the series. I hope Jace and Cooper get their own stories, these two where amazing supporting characters but would be awesome Heroes in their own stories :)

Would I recommend? To complete the series, yes, I recommend it. It was a solid read and I liked that it gave us a glimpses of the other couples too.

A fantastic read that kept me entertained and intrigued from beginning to end while sitting on the edge of my seat and turning the pages faster than ever to see what would happen. It was so beautifully written, I felt like I was right in the middle of the action with the realistic characters and sharing their emotions through the suspense, family drama, and so much more. I loved the instant attraction, undeniable chemistry and romance between equine veterinarian Audrey Martinez and Caleb Harper, a tried-and-true Texas tough cowboy.

"My Favorite Cowboy" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys well-crafted suspenseful romance. I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my voluntary review. I enjoyed the book so much, I purchased a copy for my keeper library.

I love how this story had both romance and suspense twisted together in the best way. As a renowned veterinarian, Audrey has been invited to discover why the horses are getting sick on her friend's rescue farm. Caleb comes along to help and love finds its way in. Caleb is the perfect cowboy with grit and cockiness that I just loved. These two work together to find the answers about the horses and to what their hearts need. Unfortunately its not that easy to distinguish between what the real motive is with the horses and who the intended victim really is. This is where the suspense comes in and keeps you wrapped up in the story. This was simply a lovely romance that included other family members and friends adding a feeling of community and real life.

Strong plot, wonderful love story

This is the third book in Donna Grant’s Heart of Texas series and reads well as a stand-alone.
I thought Audrey and Caleb were both likable characters and a good match. I liked that the small element of suspense added dimension to their road to their HEA.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

My Favorite Cowboy can be read as a stand-alone, however, it’s the third book in the Heart of Texas series (I haven’t read the other books and this one read just fine). My Favorite Cowboy is a mystery and a romance.

Caleb has a problem. Something is wrong with his horses. It just doesn’t make sense. The horse affect seems to be random. The local vet is on the case. Audrey is suspicious of the horse's symptoms and with the help of their families, they will get to the bottom of the mystery. What starts as a witch hunt to find the criminals ends with a bond of true love.

4 star out of 5.

This is another great story in the Heart of Texas series and I think it might be the best. My favorite kind of story is the romance/suspense trope and this fits the category to a T. Great story and can't wait for more.

A closed off cowboy, a girl married to her work without time to date and a mystery to solve. My favorite cowboy is a great tale of wounds being closed and priorities changing in life. I loved seeing Audrey and Caleb falling in love and all the family connections in this book. It was the first book I read in this series, but now I want to go back and read the first two to know how everything started. It was my first book by Donna, but will not be my last!

It was super easy to fall for Caleb, Audrey and this engaging romance. I thought the plot was very enjoyable. It had a entertaining blend of romance, drama, powerful emotions and mystery. To me it was a bit of a slow burn romance but there is no denying the chemistry simmering underneath each and every one of these character's interactions. I liked it.

Another well written cowboy story, Caleb and Audrey have great chemistry that ignites the pages.

I received a copy from Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

Well Caleb is now my favorite cowboy and this Heart of Texas series keeps getting better. Audrey is a very well sought after horse veterinarian. She is now trying to assist a family friend on several sick horses, but as the day goes on she needs more than her medicine to help these horses out.

This is one of those stories that make you feel the tension the couple has for each other. Caleb has his own demons he is fighting with, but as he spends more time with Audrey his feelings change. As they try and find why someone would want to hurt the horses Audrey finds people that pull her into their inner circle. She feels safe and finally feeling at ease with the East and Harper families. I loved loved this story so much and truly Donna Grant can write western love.

If I'm the light in the dark, you are the rock that steadies me. You offer shelter and stability. Your touch, your kisses showed me what it was like to be loved. And to love

I really, really enjoyed this book. It is a cowboy romantic suspense. This is the story of Audrey, a veterinarian, and Caleb, a former military guy turned rancher. Ms. Grant pulled me in from the start with the mystery of what was wrong with the horses Audrey was providing care for and finished me off with the romance between her and Caleb.
Not only were Audrey and Caleb's characters easy to get into, but the secondary characters were as well. We already met Caleb's brother and sister in previous books and the interesting family dynamics continue. Audrey's sister also played a part and was a real dynamo.
The story contained family, suspense, romance, danger and emotional and physical trauma as well. Caleb's mother had walked out on the family when he was quite small. It scarred him for life and left him determined that love was never going to be something that would hit him again. His feelings for Audrey might interfere with that. Can he turn his life around enough that he stops running every woman off--including Audrey?
This was a very good, fast paced book that held my interest from start to finish!
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.

I devoured this book in one day. I couldn't put the book down. Donna Grant did an outstanding job with drawing her readers into the story. Not only is story action packed. It is balanced between the suspense and romance.



Caleb and Audrey's story is intense, heartwarming and heartfelt.

Their chemistry can light up a fire pit all by itself.



I'm looking forward to reading more books from Donna Grant.



I highly recommend reading this book.
