I have read all the other books in this series and have enjoyed them all but this one grabbed me from the beginning .I found it more of a detective story and also found at first the subject of babies being removed from the womb hard to get to grips with but I do advise you to carry on because it is a great story line and I couldn’t wait for the perpetrators to get their comeuppance. Really recommend it.

It's is great to be back with this lovely group of family and friends who are more like family. This time it's Cooper's turn to find love. As with any of these books there is some danger or a lot depending how you look at it. You will fall in love all over again with Cooper, Jace, Brice and Caleb. It took a little while to like Marlee, only because of how she is in the beginning of the book against all the people I have come to love to read about. Marlee is on a mission which in this case takes her to Clearview. The chemistry between Marlee and Cooper is off the charters. I like that they realize that at the beginning of the book. It just takes the book and some other things for them to figure out how to make that work. Now that Cooper has found his love, I really look forward to Jace's book. You can read this book as a stand alone but all the books are awesome and you would have a better understanding if you read them all too.

*I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily giving my honest opinion*

The friends and family theme in this series is really refreshing and the characters are so lovable. This one addresses a delicate and horrific subject which pulls at the heartstrings.

Cooper and Marlee come from different backgrounds. He is used to his life in the country and living amongst his friends and family.

Marlee has been through a terrible trauma. The loss of one dear to her has given her a new purpose, and this is how she finds herself in Clearview.

There is an instant attraction between the two the first time that they meet. Marlee is attracted to Cooper, but in her quest to find the criminals responsible for so many heartaches, she steps over a line. This could have been the end of a budding friendship, but once Cooper realises why she is in Clearview, he is ready to assist in any way he can. Marlee is used to go it alone. Will she accept Cooper's help and in the process explore what's happening between them?

There are a few twists along the way. It's well paced and well portrayed. It's upsetting at times, but the love between family and friends is heartwarming. It's so good to catch up with the characters from the previous books and I am dying to learn more about Jace. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series so far.

I was kindly issued with an eARC from Netgalley and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

This is my first Donna Grant book!!!
I've gotta say, love her writing style.
The characters, side characters, and town are charming and loveable as ever. The story grabs you and gets your attention from the start. I wanted to know how the story played out so bad, I read the book in one setting.
Way to go Donna Grant!

Cooper Owens has made a name for himself on the rodeo circuit for calf roping. He yearns to find his direction in life. Cooper believes he has found it with Marlee Frampton, yet the beautiful out-of-towner suspects his friend of a nefarious crime. He and his friends offer to help Marlee with her missing newborn case. Unfortunately, Cooper learns his hometown is right in the middle of an infant trafficking ring. Will Cooper’s military training help Marlee with her case? What other troubles will they find?
Marlee Frampton is a private investigato who specializes in missing children. Evidence leads her to a small town in Texas and to a particular family. When her lead is a bust, Marlee reluctantly turns to a certain green-eyed cowboy for help. She never imagined finding a man like Cooper. However, Marlee’s investigation takes a dangerous turn, and it not only jeopardizes her life but Cooper’s also. Will Marlee and Cooper finally bust the infant smuggling ring? Or will the case cost them more than just their lives?
Cooper is definitely a keeper! I have always liked him and Jace since their debut in COWBOY, CROSS MY HEART, book two in the series. I adore how Cooper respects Marlee’s privacy and guardedness. He never pressed or pressured her for any information she was not ready to give. What I love the most about Cooper is how he worries over Marlee’s wellbeing. He does not want her to burn herself out, especially in her line of work. Cooper convinces Marlee to take some down time.
Marlee is such an inspiring woman. She takes a traumatic event and turns it into a calling. I adore Marlee’s love for eighties music. She is a woman after my own heart since that is my music choice too. What I love the most about Marlee is her tenacity. She never once forgot about her niece, and she continues to search for her. Also, Marlee allows nothing to interfere in retrieving missing children or helping families to find closure.
LOOKING FOR A COWBOY is book five in Donna Grant’s cowboy-themed romantic suspense series, HEART OF TEXAS. I highly recommend reading this series in proper order to understand the characters’ deep bonds. I love how the couples from the previous four books play important roles throughout the story.
LOOKING FOR A COWBOY is a suspenseful tale about love finding two people when they least expect it. I do hope the author writes Jace’s happily-ever-after next. That man definitely deserves one.

Looking for a Cowboy by Donna Grant, published by St. Martin's Press, is book five in her Heart of Texas Series. Every book is about another couple and can easily be read as a stand-alone.
The previous bookjs are The Christmas Hero Cowboy; Cowboy, Cross my Heart; My Favorite Cowboy and A Cowboy Like You.
Meet Marlee and Cooper.
Marlee is working as police officer when her twin vanishes and later on shows up in a crime scene. Marlee never gave up looking for her niece and her mission is her whole life.
Cooper is a good guy who gets tangled in Marlee's investigation.
Looking for a Cowboy is a fast paced romance with thriller elements, a lot of suspense, an unputdownable pageturner. I loved everything about the book, 4,75 stars.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Anther hit for a very talented author. Can't wait to read more of her books. I highly recommend this author to everyone.

What a great book! Romance and suspense and a cowboy all the ingredients for a perfect read. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

I LOVED this book. Cowboy romances are one of my guilty pleasures.

I have read all the previous books in the series so i was failiar with the world that these people live in. Whilst it could be read as a standalone, i would highly reommend that you read the previous 4 books.

Marlee is a private investigator and her job is to find missing children. There have been a string of women murdered whilst pregnant, their babies cut out of them never to be seen again. Marlee has been chasing the people doing it for over 10 years, ever since her twin sister was one of the women murdered.

She comes to clearwater chasing down a lead and bumps into Cooper. A local cowboy. There is an instant attraction with these 2, and Cooper and his friends help Marlee track down the perpetrators.

Cracking read. Love them all. Jace next please Donna!

Wow, so good!!! This series just keeps getting better and better as it goes. I was stunned & saddened by the storyline, it was shocking to learn of the depraved depths that people would go to, to get a child. Marlee was such a strong character & her determination to reunite as many kidnapped babies & children as possible with their families was admirable. The fact that her twin sister had been murdered for her baby was the catalyst that set Marlee on the path that led her to Cooper. Marlee’s investigations led her to Cooper’s best friend Brice & Naomi & their newly adopted son. Believing that the baby might be the kidnapped infant she was searching for she tries to use Cooper for information but ends up with a dead end. Anger at the thought of infants being ripped from their mother’s bodies brings Cooper, Jace, Brice & the rest of the family into the picture to help. With Cooper’s military background as well as Jace & everyone else’s they start their search for the people involved. I was truly surprised when we found out who was involved & how close to Marlee & her family they were. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Well done author Donna Grant.

Description
A cowboy finds love in the most unlikely place in New York Times bestseller Donna Grant's newest Heart of Texas novel, Looking for a Cowboy.

A beautiful stranger has come to Clearview, asking questions that are nobody’s business. Cooper Owens also wasn’t born yesterday. He knows that this out-of-towner is hiding a dark secret of her own. Much as he knows he should head in the other direction, he can’t make himself turn away. . .

P.I. Marlee Frampton always wanted to lead a nice quiet life, working as a cop in her local police department. But that dream came to an end when her sister was murdered—and her baby kidnapped. Now Marlee’s come to Texas to investigate the Harpers, who may be linked to shady adoption agencies. Cooper can’t believe that his friends could be involved in anything so sinister...and soon he makes it his mission to help Marlee discover the truth—and keep her safe in his arms.

“Filled with passion, suspense, and strong characters.”—Rendezvous with Romance on My Favorite Cowboy (5 stars)

And another one bites the dust! I love seeing all these honorable men finding the love of their lives. Every hero in this series has shown us what great men they are, and how they are all willing to help anyone who needs it. The fact they they are all Texas cowboys is just icing on the cake.

This was a bit of love at first site for Cooper which made me like his story more. I just love when a man just knows what he wants and goes for it. Marlee was way more hesitant but you can't blame her when all she sees is the worst in humanity through her job.

As always, the whole gang came together when the going got tough and proved why a great group of people they are. There were a few answers left unsolved so I really hope the author has plans to close them up in the next book. I've got my own ideas with how she could do that so I will be patiently waiting for the next book. Please let it be Jace's turn!

'Looking for a Cowboy' has an opening that hooked me right in with a tension that didn't let up throughout the book. This story is about nice people who are caught up in an unimaginable world of horror and heartbreak. It was gripping from start to finish, with a hint that Marlee's search wouldn't end and we could look forward to much more. I skillfully skipped over the graphic sex in order to otherwise completely enjoy this spectacular story. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the people of Clearview, Texas.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Looking For A Cowboy is a spectacular romantic suspense by Donna Grant. Ms. Grant has penned a book that is well-written and will have you clinging to the edge of your seat. Her crowning glory in this book though is the characters. These characters will make you smile, grit your teeth in anger and may milk your little tear ducts. When Marlee's pregnant sister was murdered and her unborn baby kidnapped, Marlee quits her job as a cop and starts her own investigation firm to return stolen babies to their parents. Cooper is at loose ends since leaving the military, since money is not a problem he spends his time helping his friends. Cooper and Marlee's story is packed with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I loved every page of this book and look forward to my next book by Donna Grant. Looking For A Cowboy is book 5 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.

Looking for a Cowboy is a love story with a thriller mystery in the backdrop as the lead character Marnie is an ex cop turned personal investigator.

It is a not completely focussed on the love story and I found the story, characters interesting, engrossing and refreshing.

Friendship, mystery, love, and a brave, crime fighting sleuth— this book has it all. The main character has spent her whole career fighting to save stolen babies, so it’s hard not to fall for this uptight edgy character in search of solving her sisters’ case. After showing up in a community with a tight-knit group of friends, she explores and starts closing in on the criminals. With such a great ending, this book will appeal to anyone wanting a happily ever after story.

Marlee Frampton PI is in search for justice.
She's looking for the justice her sister didn't find.
She is looking for a baby boy that was taken from his mother before she is murdered.
Cooper Owens looks out for his friends.
Good chemistry between Marlee and Cooper.

Marlee was a police officer until the murder of her sister when she decided she could do more good as a PI. Ten years after the murder she arrives in Texas searching for another stolen child. This brings her to Cooper with whom she has an immediate impact. They join forces and have to protect each other. A very gripping story.

This series is exciting and suspenseful. I always look forward to the next book. Donna has a way of keeping you enthralled.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me through NetGalley. This book was just absolutely wonderful. It was just so easy to get lost in and I just couldn’t put it down. I just lost myself within this amazing story. I most definitely will read more by this author.
