do like my cowboy romances, and I do like Donna Grant's romantic suspense ones, The last one was intense and brutal, this one was pretty brutal too, but luckily that was most in the past.
Jace is on the road on becoming an alcoholic, He drinks too much, he misses the girlfriend who suddenly disappeared years ago, and his past in the military is always there to haunt him.
What I loved about him is that the minute she does show up he is not bitter and argues for days.
He just wants her back again,
Taryn has been gone for years, the reason why is dark, And she is desperate to get out, I admired her spirit and her will to just go on and on, Even if it is a dangerous and lonely road,
Then they meet again, and it is like those years apart never happened, Yes it was fast, but this was a second chance, They never wanted to part in the first place, of course it happens fast,
And then there is the danger following her, luckily Jace has a bunch of awesome friends who all are highly trained and willing to help.
I enjoyed it, it felt really light and I listened to it fast,
Estrella is always good, her voice makes the pages just fly by, and she has great voices for everyone ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review
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.
seconds was saying "I don't want you to get involved in this" girl, please insert eye roll
Jace is way, and i mean gtigtwaaaaaytoo 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.

This romantic suspense series continues with the story of Jace.
For five years, Jace has been mourning the disappearance of Taryn, He had no idea why she left or what happened to her, When they meet again, it is because Taryn is desperate and badly needs Jace's help, I LOVED that he didn't spend a lot of time being angry and resentful he just helped! Well, not 'just'.
This book has a lot of action, and appearances and support from characters in the previousbooks of the series.
I suspect some other characters will get their spotlight in future books I hope so anyway,
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for letting me read an ARC it was an exciting book!
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review, When I requested A Cowboy Kind of Love for, I did not know it was the sixth novel in the Heart of Texas series.
Fortunately, it works well as a standalone, However, now that I have been introduced to this world, and its characters, I have an intense need to read the previous books in the series.
In this installment, readers are treated to a second chance romance filled with suspense and passion,
A Cowboy Kind of Love is Jace Wilder and Taryn Hillmans story, At the start of the story, Jace is struggling with a broken heart, The love of his life left town without saying goodbye, and he had no means of contacting her.
Since then, hes been drinking himself into oblivion, trying to numb the pain, The situation worsened whenever an anniversary of an event in their relationship came around, At the point when he recognizes he needs to take control of his life and move on, Taryn returns.
The explanation she provides for her sudden disappearance has Jace scrambling to help her,
Taryn left with her family five years ago for an unknown location in the middle of the night.
She returned to Clearview, Texas, seeking help to escape her hellish life of the past five years, She didnt intend for Jace to get involved, but circumstances caused her to seek his help to escape the hellish situation, which will place them and their friends in danger.
Tarryns heart was in the right place regarding her family, Loyal to a fault where they are concerned, but her blind loyalty placed her in a precarious position.
Even when things stared her in the face, she held on, hoping for a change for the better.
The chemistry between Jace and Tarryn sizzled and popped, They made a great team, Their romance felt authentic. Despite the years apart, they easily picked up from where they left off, Their feelings for each other never faded, Although it surprised me that Jace never once questioned the veracity of Tarryns story concerning the reason for her disappearance.
I loved the bonds of friendship portrayed in the story, Jace friends never hesitated to offer their help to Tarryn, despite the danger involved, This fastpaced and engaging story kept me on my toes, The story delivered lots of suspense and jaw dropping twists, One of those twists shocked me beyond belief,
Rebecca Estrella did a great job in narrating A Cowboy Kind of Love, The story features a vast array of characters and she handled them well, I loved her male and female voices and how well her tone captured the scenes, especially the emotional ones.
This is my first time listening to her and I would definitely listen to her again,
A Cowboy Kind of Love was a satisfying read, Its a story that takes the reader on a journey of suspense and a second chance love story.
Perfect for fans of cowboy romance, sitelinkThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading A gripping story about second chances and the strength of love!
From start to finish the emotions dripped off the pages through Grants beautiful words! I could feel the pain of lost love but the elation of a second chance changed the flow and upped the angst of this story!
A must read romance! Loads of action and a sweet romance.
One thing about this series, I wouldnt go into thinking that it is simply a cowboy romance.
These books, and this story, is so much more than that, This is a story about a group of exmilitary guys that go all in to protect their own.
This book is not as much on the cowboy part as it is on the exmilitary part.
Protecting their own is number one for these guys and Jace is especially all in for this romance when we swears he saw Taryn in town again.
Grant loads this one full of secrets, longlost loves, and a fat second chance romance wrapped around a crazy plot that drips of testosterone! This is a romantic suspense with a wild twist at the end that really blows your mind about family and friends!
Grant balances the right amount of romance to suspense which turns this book into an engrossing easy read that totally satisfies all of your senses! While Taryn was not a favorite character at certain points for me, Jace was a hottie that perfectly fit the bill.
Kind, loving, uber protective, and a bit of a bad ass!
Fabulous story!

A Cowboy Kind of Love is the sixth title in the Heart of Texas series and one Ive been waiting for since Ive had a definite crush on Jace from the beginning.
Hes been through so much especially in the past five years or so since Taryn up and left town with no clear explanation.
The fact that shes not been around or in contact with him since doesnt change how the heart feels and his heart may be broken but it still belongs to his forever love.
Taryn broke my heart, not because she left Jace but because of what shes been through these past few years and what shes done and seen in that time.
Shes back in town to seek help from the one person she trusts but shes bringing a truckload of trouble with her and nothing is going to be the same for this couple again.
A second chance You could say that, but also a deepening of the love that already exists, an acceptance of who they are now, and a love that still burns hot and bright in spite of the time apart.
Its really hard to not give away possible spoilers right now for I want to talk about this book.
But, Ill behave. A Cowboy Kind of Love is intense, full of dangerous situations, brings us back
in touch with a lot of familiar couples/characters, and brings closure to Jaces past and a wideopen door to a happy ever after for this man and woman who so deserve it after all theyve been through.
A bit of cowboy romance, a bit more of Romantic Suspense, and is chockfull of characters who will make your heart sing.
I had so much fun with Taryn and Jace and if you love a really good story with danger, true love, family, and a couple to root for, then youll feel right at home here.
There are a few twists that I did not see coming and that is the type of story that will always grab my attention and keep it.
I certainly hope there will be more stories in the Heart of Texas series,
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley, That does not change what I think of this story, It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book, This romance lived on the border of western, military, and suspense for me, It was a sexy, thrilling novel, I read it in one sitting and have zero regrets about that, Both Jace and Taryn bring tough things to the table, and rough pasts, The way they come together and find peace and healing in each other is truly beautiful, I'm tempted now to go back and read more in this series if they are all this entertaining.
There is so much I want to say about this story but cant because it would all be spoilers.
There is intrigue, there is friendship the kind where friends stand in front of you to take a bullet for you, and there is an enduring love that wont quit no matter how many years they have been apart.
A Cowboy Kind of Love is a standalone but weve met Jace and his friends in previous books.
However, this is truly Jaces story, Most of the “boys” are former government operatives so we are talking pretty clandestine ops, Taryn is an old girlfriend of Jaces who has disappeared for five long years, She is living thru the middle of a manyyear nightmare of a life,
It will take all Jace has, along with all his friends and their families, to get Taryn out of her life nightmare but it is an amazing story that will take your breath away.
Love, love, love Jace! He is perfect for Taryn, 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.
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 exmilitary 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, .
