About this ebook

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)

Ratings and reviews

This wasn’t for me. I love Donna Grant and her paranormal/supernatural romances but this contemporary/romantic suspense piece, which is the first I have read from this author, wasn’t doing much for me. That spark that typically pulls me to her novels was missing, the characters were dull, the murdering mothers and kidnapping infants subplot wasn’t intriguing enough, and overall I was bored. Really really bored. ‘A Cowboy Like You’ was an unexpected and unfortunate drop, and just to be safe, I think I'll stick with her PRs for right now.

4.25⭐ Looking for a Cowboy was a fast-paced and extremely readable story. That hooked me in from the start, with a storyline that wasn't quite what I expected, but enthralling nonetheless. Even though it does cover some sensitive subjects, including kidnapping, adoption and murder. But honestly, the characters, the mystery and the romance really made this story worth reading, and I genuinely loved how Cooper and his friends all banded together to help Marlee in her quest. Would recommend. **I was kindly provided with an ARC via St Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review**

This is a nice addition to this series although it isn't my favourite one. I couldn't 100% take to Marlee but I did warm to her more as the story went on. The book was fast paced and the storyline was interesting but I wish it had been totally finished out. I hope that the large loose end will be tied up in the next book. Overall - a nice read.
