I've been waiting for Clay's story since we first met the Davis siblings in Lost Rider. Harper Sloan did not disappoint. Cowboy Up was everything I was hoping it would be from the very first page. Clay and Caroline's story is sweet, passionate and full of emotion. I didn't want to put it down. If you like sexy cowboys, their commitment to family and their devotion to the women they love, I highly recommend all three books in Harper Sloan's Coming Home series. |

This is a series that will be a joy to re-read. In Cowboy Up, Caroline and Clay give the bad things in their lives a name, "the ugly". It's almost as if by naming it they are better able to deal with it. They don't keep anything from each other, it's refreshing how open they are with each other. And then you have their "bad". It's not what you think it's the the sexy kind of bad and it's the kind that everyone should strive to find. |
4.5 cowboy stars Took me a second to get into the flow of this one but once I did I was loving it. Clay is so freaking sweet he gave me a toothache but I also needed a cold glass of water for all his heat he was throwing too. I loved that this man wasted no time at all. He knew what he wanted and didn’t stop until he got it. Even though Caroline didn’t put up much of a fight and honestly I loved that she didn’t. She didn’t need to make him earn it because even a little unsure she knew he was worth it. She was sweet and shy but oh man could she put you in your place and throw some sass. I enjoyed how easy this relationship was. No crazy drama in that aspect. It was easy. Definitely my favorite of the whole series and Clay just might be my favorite of all of Harpers men. Definitely a must read if your a fan |
Cowboy Up is the final book in the Davis sibling trilogy by Harper Sloan. Here we meet the woman that finally get Clayton to settle down. Clayton is the oldest of the Davis siblings and he feels it’s his responsibility to take care of everything except his love life. He is dedicated to his ranch and he is okay with being alone. Once burned by a scorned woman, he has avoided settling down and commitments but something about Caroline intrigues him. Caroline has also avoided relationships since the only time she tried her luck and trusted a man, it ended badly. Her life hasn’t been easy, she never knew her father and her mother is not the warm and fuzzy kind. She is used to taking care of herself but as soon as she sits down next the Clayton at a bar, she is captivated by him. When the past keeps trying to come back up again, they face it head on and they don’t let it come between them. It was good to see all the other characters again, Quinn cracks me up. The epilogue was bittersweet. I had tears in my eyes while reading it. We get to see how the lives of Clayton and Caroline, Maverick and Leighton, and Tate and Quinn turned out. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2169398228 |
It takes a bit of an adjustment to get back into cowboy land with Harper Sloan. Throw in the soap-opera angle (because it really is) with many overreactions, over-the-top responses, lengthy declarations of emotions and there’s always something loud, hysterical and irrepressible about this series where characters don’t do anything softly. They laugh, weep, shout and wave their arms with exaggeration in a place where cowboys swagger hard, women’s panties get wet like dripping taps and hard verbal shots are slung without abandon. ‘Cowboy Up’ is for want of a better word, an impetuous read that rides on the wild side, and it’s akin to getting blown through an oncoming hurricane of torrential high drama. And the story started that way—all in, with no room for regrets that briefly pushed their way to the surface, from a scorching one-night stand that dovetailed really quickly into a declaration from Clayton Davis that Caroline was the woman he’d always wanted in his life, though it’s probably swoony enough for readers who want to read about a male protagonist who found himself balls-deep (and not just literally) and wholly devoted to the woman from the start. This was the unbelievable stretch for me, since I found it bewildering that Clayton extrapolated that bright future for him and Caroline all after a one-nighter where a connection had apparently been forged soul-deep. Yet all I could see was a relationship that felt at first, more like dependence on Caroline’s part rather than one of equals—with Clayton acting almost as a crutch while she got her feet up and about again. To be fair, Caroline’s skittish and somewhat needy behaviour has stemmed from losing everything and being in several abused relationships in a manner that Clayton could only step in as the alpha protector role which was easy for him to do so. ‘Cowboy Up’ rides high on emotion, albeit too much for me perhaps, because too much of it felt overplayed and I really thought I would have enjoyed this more. As always, there isn’t any reason why this wouldn’t work for others even if it couldn’t resonate with me. But with my ears feeling as though they’re still ringing and my head still woozy at the speed with which things went down, I was nonetheless, sort of relieved when the sun finally set on their HEA. |
