The is an amazing second chance story. It's a great concept with amazing characters.

Jace has been pining for Taryn who disappeared without so much of an explanation five years ago. Taryn is in trouble and isn't having much luck in getting any help. She resorts to seeking Jace out to explain the circumstances of her disappearance. She has been having a rough time fighting to protect her family. She wasn't always successful. Now that Jace is aware of the situation, he is willing to pull out all the stops to get her out of this dire predicament.

Jace's friends are sopportive and will do anything to help. The romance and friendships are captivating. I love the storyline and the interactions amongst all the characters. The twist at the end is gobsmacking. It sort of reinforces the saying that "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family". It's a fantastic addition to the series series and I absolutely love it.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing the eARC. The views expressed are my personal opinion.

A Cowboy Kind of Love is the sixth book in the Heart of Texas series by Donna Grant. A captivating romantic suspense with a sexy cowboy and lots of drama. The characters are well-written with intriguing backstories that are relatable. The story pulls you in from the beginning and holds your attention until the very until all while the story unfolds at a smooth, steady pace that is sure to leave you wanting more.

Well, I was looking forward to Jace's story, but to me it was just meh.

It dragged quite a bit, and I just couldn't with Taryn. I hated how he was still hung up on her after she up and left. I hated that whe it was about her, she turned up and dragged him into her crap - then ever 2.3 seconds was saying "I don't want you to get involved in this" - girl, please *insert eye roll*

Jace is way, and i mean >i>waaaaaytoo good for Taryn, and I hate that he gets sucked in by her again, and again, and again. Dear God man, run as far and as fast as you can!

I did love seeing the guys and gals from the previous books, and this one really was the anomoly in the series for me.

Taryn broke Jace’s heart when she left town without a goodbye. Now she is back but in a very dangerous situation. Can Jade help her win her freedom again and be finally together? A rollercoaster of emotions, action packet love story.

Wonderful book with just enough heat to keep the pages turning. This is my first book in this series but definitely not my last. Looking forward to more. This is why I love a good cowboy book

Jace and Taryn’s second chance love story in A Cowboy Kind of Love by Donna Grant, book six in her Heart of Texas series, was truly enjoyable. Dashing cowboy Jace Wilder has been working on rebuilding his life since the love of his life, Taryn Hillman, unexpectedly left town. When she mysteriously appears back in town, Jace’s world is upended all around him. Taryn’s world fell apart one awful night and it has not improved over the years. When she has a small chance to escape that life, she grabs it, despite returning to Clearview and seeing Jace again. Taryn tries to keep her secrets from Jace but the magnetic attraction they shared is still alive, pulling them together, being hotter and more sizzling, than before. When Jace discovers the secrets and trouble Taryn is hiding, he will do anything to keep her safe; even if it mean bringing in his buddies and breaking the law. Now these two soul mates need to learn to trust each other again as well as spend their life together; not ever letting go.

Ms. Grant wrote an amazing, passionate, suspenseful and emotional story that is truly not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, supportive friends, scary situations, and strong characters, giving Jace and Taryn a chance at trust, love and a forever together. I highly recommend A Cowboy Kind of Love to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

A Cowboy Kind of Love by Donna Grant is set in small town Texas. Jace is a former military operative who had his heart broken by Taryn, his former girlfriend. She left him unexpectedly in the middle of the night 5 years ago. I have enjoyed books by Ms. Grant in the past. I like Jace, who doesn’t like a cowboy and military in the same man! Taryn, on the other hand, was a different story for me. She seemed unsure of herself and how to get herself out of trouble. This is a second chance romance with suspense and most of the time I love this genre. The writing style and the author, herself, I like. Most of you will like it, so go forth and dive in! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. ****

"A Cowboy Kind of Love" by Donna Grant
A Suspense story of Ties that Bind and an intense story
This story is part of a series but can easily be read as a stand-alone. It took me awhile but I did remember some of the characters from previous stories in prior years. This story seemed to get off to a slow start but I think it was just where I was coming from because after awhile it really seemed to be very busy and time just flew by as I continued on through to the final scene. Happy Reading !!
NOTE: I received an ARC of this story from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I’ve done it again, judged a book by its cover. I thought for sure this was going to be one of those sweet cowboy romance books and I remember reading other books by this author, but ... I always seem to skim over the description and miss important facts. This book is NOT your run of the mill contemporary romance - this is definitely suspenseful and has its share of bad guys and gals. I really should’ve read my review of the previous book in the series before picking up this one. I am not a fan of bad things happening, so I wasn’t a fan of this book - but that was of NO fault of the author.

I finished the story and was on the edge the entire time. I wanted nothing more than to suggest that the publisher use different cover images to let future readers not to expect the typical cowboy romance book - this book has blood and gun violence. Definitely more of a Lifetime book and less of a Hallmark book.

A second chance to mend a broken heart. But will all of the hurt be forgotten or forgiven? Will Taryn reason's for leaving be what causes even more troubles in the present? An action packed, suspenseful cowboy romance that contains a mystery, a passion and a drama all at the same time.

This romantic suspense was so good! It starts out with your heart breaking for Jace, who's love walked away from him several years ago. He has no idea where she went or why she walked away. He's in such a dark place that you really have to wonder if there is a way out for him.
Taryn is one tough character. She has been through hell, including having to walk away from Jace. The situation she has been in would have dropped the normal person to their knees. Her life is in danger and Jace is the only one who can help her.
I loved the characters from the previous books showing up to help the couple. The way it all played out made for a fast paced, page turning book that I could not put down. I finished it in two days. Awesome!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.

This was a fast and suspenseful read that reminded me of Maya Banks KGI series - but a little less steamy. I like the friendship between Jace and his friends. I loved how they rallied around Taryn and worked tirelessly to get her out of her situation. I struggled a little with the fast change from mad to in love but when it's a second chance, sometimes that works out faster than you expect! rounded up from 3.5

A Cowboy Kind of Love is book six in Donna Grant’s Heart of Texas Series. This is such an exciting romantic suspense series. One of the reason is because while the guys are all close friends with military background now living in a small Texas town each story is unique in its own way. This is Jace’s story which really begun years ago when he met Taryn. She was the one for him until she left after leaving a hastily written text. Now it is five years later.

It is a well-done and page turning story that has intrigue from the very beginning that keeps intensifying as the story progresses as Taryn returns to Clearview, looking for help out of a dreadful situation. The danger is not only leveled against her increases the suspense.

It is about friendship, standing together and love that overcomes. A Cowboy Kind of Love is a great addition to what is one of Donna Grant’s best series to date.

An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Good mystery with a big surprise,at the end. Even though it is a slightly predictable romance read,it will keep you turning pages. The cover gives adequate information so I'll not repeat. This is part of a series but I have not read them all and found this easy to follow. Just enough twists and turns to keep you interested. It is not a deep mystery or romance but characters are active throughout. A good break from heavy reads.
I was invited to read this book but was under no obligations to read or provide a review. The opinions expressed are my own. Many thanks to the author, St.Martin's Press & NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

Jace Wilder had the woman he loved and was ready to ask her to marry him when she disappeared. Taryn Hillman loved Jace but one night she and her family were all kidnapped and forced to work for a drug lord. Her dad and brother wer both killed at one point and now she's only got her sister left and she will do anything to protect her only family member left. Forced back to her hometown and eventually to Jace the two have to find their way back to each other if they can. Everything comes out when Jace gets over the shock of seeing her again. Of course he's all in to save her. This is a pretty action packed book from the very beginning. Jace and his family of friends have his back and in turn Taryn's. Lots of twists and turns throughout this book. Guessing how it all will end to the very last pages.

It was just okay. Jace and Taryn were dating and in love until one day Taryn and her family just left. Turns out that the biggest drug lord in the south took them and Tatum is now selling for him as a way to pay off a family debt and save her sister.

Jace still loves Taryn and wants her back. He enlists the help of his friends to take down the drug lord and save Taryn. Nothing will stop him from this mission.

The romance was flat and I didn’t feel a connection between the two main characters. Twist at the end took me by surprise though.

I just really love the suspense in this series. Both Jace and Taryn have traumatic pasts, one that had Taryn and her family abruptly leaving town. Now shes back and comes back to Jace for help. I kid you not, the past and current problems Taryn has to deal with are extremely heavy that I cannot imagine anyone in her situation. Jace is totally devoted and will do anything for Taryn. This was definitely a fast paced action packed book. I would HIGHLY recommend this series for anyone who are afraid to read "cowboy" romances. I would emphasize "light" on the cowboy and "heavy" on suspense (ex-military style). Read in order for the best experience as characters cross over, but can be read as a standalone.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

What I enjoy about the Heart of Texas series is that while yes they are cowboy romances, they are more than just a feel good story. These cowboys have military backgrounds and the situations them and their loves find themselves in are not a walk in the park.

Jace is still a wreck from Taryn leaving him unexpectedly 5 years ago. Then she just shows up out of the blue, and she is wrapped up in a whole lot of no good. She needs half a million dollars to save her and her sister from a drug lord . I know , crazy right?!? But I was here for it lol

I want a Jace, that man loved hard and never gave up on his feelings for Taryn. He was capable and loving and damn sexy. Taryn took me longer to warm up to because her entire backstory is just bananas. Together though they were sweet and the intimacy between them was hot. I loved seeing the familiar couples from previous books. This group of friends are more like a big family whose there for one another no matter what.

A Cowboy Kind of Love is a second chance western romance with high stakes suspense, off the charts steam, and one hell of an ending plot twist. I hope Donna Grant will be releasing more in this series because there's a few more bachelors who need to find love.

What I love about most standalone series is that you get a great group of side characters that follow along in each book until most of them become a main character. It helps get me more and more invested in the series because I want to see all my favorite people get their happily ever after.

Jace has been one of those recurring characters. I've enjoyed him as a side character and I really liked him as a main character. His love for Taryn never went away even years after she just upped and left town on him. His dedication to her is always what I'm looking for.

Taryn was put in a very tough spot when she disappeared and I really didn't see how she could have done anything else. Sometimes second chance love irritates me because of the reason of the break up but that is not the case in this situation. Actually, I ended up being very angry on Taryn's behalf when a few truths come out.

Now there were a few unbelievable things about this story, but it is a story. Besides those things, I did enjoy the overall plot. The strong heroine who has survived for years but at a point of desperation she goes to the one man who she can count on the most. The fact that Jace didn't even hesitate to step in and was willing to do anything he could to get her out of the danger and back in his life. It was all a very compelling love story.

Just meh. Formulaic and the writing felt forced. There was nothing to be drawn into. I couldn’t relate to the characters on any characteristics, so it was hard to keep reading.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC.
