Is he an enemy?
Dillon Young is proud that she inherited her aunt’s ranch. The problem: someone is trying to run her off and is willing to do whatever it takes. Strange, dangerous things keep happening. Dillion suspects her no-good neighbor and fellow wealthy rancher Hank Stephens. Never a man to get his hands dirty, he sends others to get the job done. So, when the irresistible Cal Bennett is found passed out drunk on her property, Dillion is on high alert. Until someone takes a shot at her and Cal springs to her rescue. When the hard-bodied, no-nonsense-talking cowboy points out that she may need some help, Dillion is inclined to reluctantly agree.
Or a lover?
Waking up on a stranger’s property with a shotgun in his face is not Cal Bennett’s idea of a good time. Never mind that the woman on the other end of the barrel is one of the most fiercely beautiful women he has ever seen. Things get more interesting when he finds himself shielding her from flying bullets. It’s clear that this smart, savvy woman could use a hand and he is all too happy to lend any part of his body she requires. His proposal: pose as lovers until they find out who is after her ranch. As the danger rises and secrets are revealed, the passion explodes between them. There is no turning back.

After reading the Heart of Texas series by Donna Grant, I knew I wanted to read more books by this author. So when I got a review request for ‘That Cowboy of Mine’, I didn’t really have to think about it and got myself an ARC.

In ‘That Cowboy of Mine’ we meet Dillon Young. Dillon has inherited a ranch after her aunt died. Since her life was kind of a mess, after divorcing her husband after only a few months, inheriting the ranch seemed like perfect timing. But ever since Dillon started running the ranch, strange things have happened. And now she is being shot at! Luckily for Dillon, Cal finds himself waking up at the ranch, without any recollection of why or how he got there. But how can she trust him when everyone seems to have secrets?

‘That Cowboy of Mine’ was definitely a fun read. Although it wasn’t really mysterious, since we read also the point of few of the one who is behind Dillon’s attacks, I found myself intrigued with Dillon’s character. She was one tough lady, and I loved her character. I wished we got to learn a little bit more about her character, but there was enough in this read to make me enjoy it.

Cal’s character was definitely the most mysterious one. And I loved him. As a previous Bull rider, he finds himself on the ranch when he isn’t sure what to do with his life. After seeing Dillon, and learning she is in danger, he is determined to keep her safe and find out the truth about what’s happening to her. Although I have still a lot of questions about his character now that I finished the read, I simple adored the guy.

The romance between Dillon and Cal was kind of sudden, and could have used a little more pages in my opinions. But their chemistry was definitely fun to read about it, and I loved every moment I read about these two.

‘That Cowboy of Mine’ was a fun read that kept me interested.
