As with any Love Inspired story, the heroine (vet assistant Gabi Newberry) meets the hero (in this case, cowboy Jess Holden) pretty early on in the story when he helps rescue Gabi and two calves from the path of a tornado. Gabi is back in Mule Hollow, Texas, having returned to her childhood home after she becomes a Christian and her fiancé, Phillip, broke up with her because of her new faith. She and Jess become close after cattle is found mysteriously dead on his family ranch and the two must w...more
Firstly thanks to NetGalley for my review copy.
This is the second book in the Mule Hollow Homecoming series and just as good as the first book. The book can be read alone and followed easily. Gaby has moved back to Mule Hollow to work as a veterinarian's assistant. While out doing her job she gets caught in a flashflood with a trailer with two calves in it. Jess Holden just happens buy and helps. From here things get interesting. Neither Gaby or Jess want a relationship more than friendship as J...more

Review Lone Star Cowboy by Debra Clopton
4 STAR
I believe this is my first book of Debra's Mule Hollow series that I have read but doubt it will be the last. I really enjoyed reading it. No sex scenes. Deals with some hard issues of drunk driving from lots of angles. Drunk father and mother who walked out on her kids, choosing to be better or be thankful for the good in your life.
Gabi has moved back to Mule Hollow to be by her Grandma and learn more about how to be a good Christian. Her fiance du...more

Her Lone Star Cowboy is a story of Gabi Newberry, who decided to turn her life around with the help of God and Jess Holden who is angry with God. These are the two things that we face in our daily life. We become lost but we find God and some of us are angry with God on why he has abandoned us.

DEBRA CLOPTON is one author that I continually look for her books. Each time I finish one I wish there were another waiting for to read. I own every single one she’s written. As soon as I heard the time was approaching for HER LONE STAR COWBOY to hit the stores, I started scanning the bookshelves. When I spotted it I was tempted to give someone nearby a high-five.

Once again I was pleased to be drawn back to the town of Mule Hollow(has been too long since my last visit there!). Right from the start when vet assistant Gabi Newberry ventured out in a storm and got the vehicle stuck in mud and because she had 2 calves in the trailer she was going to risk her life to go for help,I knew this was going to be a story I wouldn't forget.

Debra Clopton does it again with another beautiful story in Mule Hollow. Jess Holden and his two brothers have experienced a life time of pain brought on by their alcoholic father and their mother who abandoned them. While Luke and Colt were able to deal with these issues in their own way, Jess continued to hold on to them over 20 years causing a great amount of discomfort and confusion of how he viewed God.

This is my 2nd Mule Hollow book and I did enjoy it very much. It is Christian fiction and I am going to look for the rest of the series! I love reading about the little town of Mule Hollow and the matchmaking trio who have found a unique way of attracting women with matrimony on their mind to this small town. This one is a little different in that it's the granddaughter of one of the matchmaking trio and who has broken up with her fiancee and move to Mule Hollow to make a fresh start and most ce...more
Loved, Loved, Loved this book. The characters had me laughing out loud. And then crying. Jess Holden was not looking for love. He was just minding his own business when cute vet tech Gabi comes onto his ranch to investigate his dying heifers. Old childhood memories have kept his romantic notions at bay and priorities have kept Gabi's notions at bay, as well. And then God steps in......Hello! Awesome story. Could not put it down.
I love cowboy love stories and having read most of Debra Clopton's Mule Hollow series knew I would enjoy this one. The idea of bringing new Christian, Gabi Newberry and Jess Holden is sheer genius. Gabi's insecurities about her past and Jess's refusal to let his past go help the reader to root for a happily ever after in these two souls. I definitely recommend reading Her Lone Star Cowboy!
Don't let the bad cover art deter you. Tackling the issue of alcoholism and its affects on families, this book is a little more meaty than the average 'Love Inspired' story. It keeps in step with all of the other Mule Hollow books. I'm looking forward to the release of the next Mule Hollow story this fall, so I'll have another reason to visit one of my favorite literary towns.
I know it is rare for me to not finish a book, but this is one of them. I am not saying the story is bad. On Amazon there are some good reviews. I however could not get past Gabi being stuck in a flood. I did not care for her and I tried to read past that section as we are not always liking a character. The read was to slow for me. It was one of those books you just can't force yourself to like. I might try and read it again at a later date but for now I could't finish the book.
Debra Clopton has been writing a series of cowboy books, and every one is wonderful. This one is no exception. A delightful read!

This book was amazing, its part of an amzing series and was glad to catch up with some amazing charaters like App and Stanley and the wonderful matchmakers of Mull HOllow. This book also interduced some new charaters, in this book the my heart broke in some parts for the charaters. But they have delt with some tough situations that anyone should be able to relate with. This book is one that you will not want to put down and one that keeps you going no matter what part of the book you reach. It a...more
