Every once in a while you just have to read a cowboy story. And when it has a little suspense as well as a love story, you can’t get better than that.
This is the first book I’ve read or reviewed by this author so I was interested in checking out her writing style. This is a part of a series, however it read fine as a standalone. Here are my thoughts.
My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant

ABOUT:
Audrey Martinez is a veterinarian who has devoted her whole life to the care and protection of horses―even if doing so leaves her little time for meeting a man. Who would have thought that a strange case of criminal horseplay would lead her to falling deeply, wildly in love? If only the man who makes her heart race faster than a wild mustang would let his guard down, that is. . .
Caleb Harper is no ordinary cowboy. Sure, he wears his hat, boots, and jeans like a second skin, and displays an easygoing charm that comes from years of working on the ranch. But with his military background, and Army buddies at his side, he is tried-and-true Texas tough. Audrey knows she can trust a man like Caleb to help her save horses. But can Caleb trust himself to resist his attraction to Audrey―or will the sparks of their desire end up getting them burned?
My Favorite Cowboy by Donna Grant Review
It’s funny how you can develop an opinion of a character easily as the story develops. I started off really enjoying both of the main characters in this book. I loved Caleb because he was sweet, kind, and very protective of her.
I liked Audrey because she was different, pretty simple, and a straightforward person dedicated to her work almost to a fault.
But then things changed a little bit especially towards the end. While I loved the way these two interacted together I did have some issue with the fact that neither one seemed to have a back bone when it came to standing up for their feelings for each other.
Both of them seem to tip toe around each other and were afraid to even admit that they have feelings; strong feelings; lusty feelings for each other. They both had commitment phobia and were afraid to talk to each other about their feelings. That made it difficult for the reader to have strong feelings for them.
There were some really great parts to the story. I loved the suspense and mystery of the story itself. I love the blooming of the romance and the steaming connections that the author crafted. Oh, Caleb is super sexy and I love the romance portion of the story. It is just so worth the read.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable story and I would definitely be interested in reading more from this author in the future.
