Story 4 of 5 stars

Heat 5 of 5 stars

Series – Heart of Texas

Main characters – Jace Wilder, Taryn Hillman

Jace Wilder was taken prisoner, beaten and tortured for three months. He returned home to heal and found Taryn, the love of his life. When she disappeared from his life five years ago, he never got over the loss of her.

Taryn Hillman has been trying to keep her family alive for the last five years. She’s been given one chance to save her sister and free them from a drug lord.

Returning to Clearview is risky and she can’t resist seeing Jace again. When all other options fail her, she turns to him to explain her disappearance and ask for help.

They never stopped loving each other and once re-united Jace is determined that nothing will separate them again. He was an elite Marine Raider and he will use all his skills and connections to free Taryn and her sister.

There is no doubt the love these two have for each other, I was happy to see them get a second chance. The title and cover makes you think you’ll be reading a western romance but the story is really about a dangerous rescue to free Taryn from a drug lord’s clutches and their happily ever after.

Looking for a Cowboy by Donna Grant

Story 4 of 5 stars

Heat 5 of 5 stars

Series – Heart of Texas

Main characters – Cooper Owens, Marlee Frampton

Marlee Frampton is a former police officer who became a P.I. after her sister was murdered and her unborn child taken. She has spent the last ten years trying to find her sister’s murderer and unborn child while helping find other missing children.

Cooper Owens was trained as a Combat Controller in the Airforce. He spent years in the rodeo circuit calf roping along side his friends Since he left the Airforce he has spent most of his time helping out his friends, unable to settle down doing any one thing.

When a pretty stranger comes to town Cooper wants to get to know her but their first dinner goes south as she asks him if his friend could be involved with buying a baby.

Their relationship starts off rocky, but these two’s attraction and appreciation for each other is a slow simmer that cannot be denied. Cooper, Marlee and Cooper’s friends work together to try to find the group of people killing pregnant women and cutting their babies from them to sell.

A sweet, simmering romance to go with a crime thriller. While this book is set in Texas I didn’t feel like the title matched the book.

Enjoyable book, however some of the transitions were difficult to follow. There were multiple points of view toward the end of the book, that changed rapidly, but there was little, to no demarcation signaling the change. I’d often have to re-read a section because I realized the viewpoint had changed again after only a paragraph of another viewpoint.

I received a free copy of this book and I’m voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog.
