This was my first book by June Faver, and it was a fun one! Even though this book is the second in a series, it stands entirely alone. If you missed the first, you'll want to go back and read about Colt's brother Ty. But Colt and Misty are the stars here.
The theme of family is a strong thread throughout this story. There is also a mystery which adds some excitement, plus plenty of steamy loving. Colt sees Misty at a livestock auction where her family's stock is being sold due to severe financial troubles. Colt, the eldest brother in his family and usually steady as a rock, is instantly smitten. When Misty's brother is murdered, he takes her and her young brother Mark into the bosom of his family.
There is some conflict here. Colt's father and younger brother think Misty's a gold digger. He knows what he wants, though, and what he wants is Misty. Their relationship quickly becomes intense; true love often is. The closer they get, however, the closer the murderer comes and threatens all they hold dear. This is an entertaining contemporary romance, and I look forward to reading the rest of the Garrett family's stories.
I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley. I received no compensation for my review, and all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

This cowboy romance is a gripping read that warms the heart. Colt and Misty are strong characters that easily enthrall readers with their sweet romance which grips emotions and has them empathizing with the heroine when she faced with a deadly threat and heartache. The chemistry between Colt and Misty sizzles with desire and passion and Colt takes on the protective knight when he comes to Misty’s aid which makes readers pulse pound in excitement.
The story has quite a bit of emotional turmoil as Colt must face his family and their opinions while helping Misty with her troubles and the steady faced plot is full of suspenseful events and some excitement as danger stalks Misty and her family. Some of the dialogue between Colt and Misty is a little on the cheesy side and while Misty’s characters is strong, she’s a bit too naïve. Overall, the author has created an intriguing family atmosphere that catches readers’ attention and ensures that they want to get to know the whole family and this romance is a heart-warming read.

A gorgeous, rich, hard-working, kind and compassionate cowboy, literally bumps into a damsel in distress and it is love at first sight. Romance and a murder mystery with an intriguing plot written in a riveting narrative. Characters are skillfully developed and engaging.
This is the first book that I have read from this author, missing the first book in the series, but the author quickly catches up the reader in the first chapter. Colton Garrett is the oldest son the Garrett boys. He works hard, saved his money and despite all the women who have thrown themselves at him, has never at twenty-eight meet anyone who he would want to make his wife, until he crashes into Misty Dalton at the auction barn and is immediately smitten. While both Colton's father and Misty's father were ranch owners, who had buried their wives and had had to raise their children on their own, Big Jim Garrett had step up, while Arnold Dalton had turned to alcohol. Now Arnold was dying and the Daltons are about to lose their ranch. But something is a foot, and after Misty's brother, Joe is murdered and her father dies later that night, Colton brings Misty and her young brother, Mark to the Garrett ranch. Colton's father and younger brother, Beau accuse Misty of being a gold digger, but Colton knows what his heart knows and will protect her and Mark as more mysteries, murders and mayhem occur.
I received a free, advanced copy of this wonderful book from NetGalley.com. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Colton Garrett, eldest son of Big Jim Garrett, fell hard for sweet little Misty Dalton. She came with a less than trouble free family story. She lost her mother at a young age, had to quit College to take care of her brothers and her father with health problems because of alcohol. Colton takes her and her younger brother under his wing after her older brother who was entangled with bad friends gets shot. When even the banker tries to cheat her from her inheritance, Colton comes to the rescue. Before they can claim their ''happily ever after'', they go through and solve some serious situations.
A lot of action that kept me seriously interested througout the whole story.

This is a sweet romance some times I found it a little hard to follow it didn't have that great a flow but overall it was a sweet story that had me interested
This is the story of Misty and Colton. He is a hard working cowboy who comes from one of the local great families She is a struggling woman who is having to sell her horses to pay for her fathers medical bills and it looks like they may lose the ranch as well. Colton gets the chance to step up and be her hero but will that be enough for her to trust him.

Overall this was a pretty good story, It is well written and has characters that are memorable and well developed. It is a small town romance with some mystery and suspense mixed in. The storyline is enjoyable although at times I felt it was extremely predictable. Also, I found Colton overbearing while Misty seemed naive and weak. Still there was enough going on in the story to keep me reading.
This is the second book in the series but I didn't feel lost by not having read the first book. In the end I'd give this one 3.5 stars and I would recommend.

Hot Target Cowboy by June Faver
Dark Horse Cowboys #1
Colton Garrett and Misty Dalton star in the first book of this series as Misty falls on hard times and Colton steps in to ease her situation. Misty and her younger brother are holding on by the skin of their teeth as she cares for her dying father and deals with her older less than responsible brother. When her brother is killed, her farm may be lost and murders begin to take place there is more than romance on the mind of Misty as she finds safe haven under Colton’s wing. Of course there are nay sayers and problems but this story ends happily for most of those involved. There is a sense of family, caring, community and doing the right thing that runs throughout this book and I expect it will continue as the series unfolds. There is a bit of church and religion in the book – just a heads up for those who might want to know. I am hoping that the editors will pick up that O+ is NOT the universal donor but O- is….
Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC – This is my honest review.
