A Cowboy Like You

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

I just LOVED this book. Danny has appeared in all of the books in this series and we finally get to read his HEA. Danny is at odds with his life. He loves his job as sheriff but he pictured a wife and maybe a child or two by now. Unfortunately the girl that he liked in high school left for the big city of Houston right after graduation. Danny gets some dinner but doesn't want to eat at home nor sitting down in a restaurant. He decides to eat his dinner at a rest stop that he enjoys the views from. A sports car comes into the rest stop and is shortly followed by another. The driver of the second car gets out and assaults the driver of the first vehicle. It turns out that the driver in the sports car is none other than the girl from high school, Skylar Long.

The rest of the story is one that is filled with intrigue and suspense. We get to see the prior characters return here and help Skylar and Danny. I loved how the book not only was written in the dual POV that I favor, but also it included Matt's, Skylar's abusive ex-boyfriend now stalker.

I was a little disappointed in Skylar's character. She seemed to entered into sexual relationships rather easily in her life in Houston. I don't approve of that normally and I wished her character was a little different. Having sex between Danny and Skylar as soon as it was, was a little too much for me but it didn't affect how I adored the story. I was glued to my e-reader to hurry and see what was going to happen next. Unfortunately for me, that also leads to the conclusion of the story.

There are several scenes that may not be appropriate for anyone under the age of 18. There are some sexy scenes between Danny and Skylar as well as a scene of violence.

While this book could be read as a stand-alone, I highly encourage to start at the beginning. Seeing the relationships develop with all of the characters really will help to show the dedication and loyalty that these characters have for each other.

I look forward to several more stories in this series. There are a few more men that needs a HEA for me to read about.

Not every knight wears armor and rides up on a white horse. Some wear a badge and drive a pickup. This is a love story that shows that there is someone out there for everyone. Just sometimes you need to wait awhile.

“she knew that if anyone could protect her, it was Danny Oldman.”

Skylar has been through hell and back in an abusive relationship. Danny, though he loves his job, finds himself hiding after he takes off his badge. What once would have been puppy love has kindled into a fiery relationship.

This is not a story for everyone. It does have some elements that may trigger some readers with events of domestic abuse. But it is told well, with compassion and strength. This is another novel by Donna Grant where you find yourself reading into the early morning hours, because you can’t wait to see what happens to your characters. Well worth it in my eyes.

4.5 Stars
This book features Danny and Skylar. These two have feelings that go way back to high school but were never acted on. Imagine his surprise when he stops a domestic violence scene and Skylar is the woman. The story is about Danny, a sheriff, protecting Skyler from a wealthy man who thinks if he can’t have her, then no one can. It’s about these two getting a second chance at long buried feelings.

The story line is fantastic with great flow. This is a small town romance with awesome characters. These characters are people I’d love to be friends with.
