Ms Rock is a good storyteller. I liked the story and characters she developed. Fun setting and the touch of mystery was nice. Sweet romance and glad our hero came around and realized the error in his thinking. Fun story

The fourth book of Karen Rock’s Rocky Mountain Cowboys series, A Cowboy’s Pride is a delight to read. It’s everything I love to find in a cowboy romance, and I absolutely enjoyed it (even though I haven’t read the preceding books).

The romance between rancher Cole Loveland and TV show host Katlynn Brennon is a thing of the past, but surprisingly, the long-standing feud between the Cades and the Lovelands offers them the opportunity for a second chance at a future together. As they work to uncover the truth behind the origins of the feud, Cole and Katlynn wrestle with an undeniable attraction, the problems of the past, and many, many emotions. There’s mystery, there’s romance, and it’s a whole lot of fun to read.

So, if you’re in need of a sweet, intriguing, romantic book, check out A Cowboy’s Pride. It’s a good one.

A Cowboy's Pride by Karen Rock is the 4th book of the series: (Rocky Mountain Cowboy's). I totally love this series and can't get enough. Cole and Katie are just made for each other, and 2nd chance romance, just so heartwarming, it just grabs at your heart. Will not give anything away, want you to read this book and series and find out how awesome each story is. You will be hooked as much as I am.
I was given an ARC digital copy in return for my honest opinion. Karen Rock you Rock! and can't wait for more..

Great read. Love the way the author mixed history into the story line.
Both old and new relationships rekindled and a family feud that for centuries kept two people apart is finally settled

This one is an intriguing read with so many layers. The past and present interwoven with many similarities, including hardheaded Loveland males, Cade women who find themselves in tough spots, generations-misunderstandings, heartbreak and love.
This is another fun addition to the Rocky Mountain Cowboys series. Karen Rock does a great job capturing life and love against a Colorado backdrop.
*ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

This meaty story is more than just second chance romance involving a cowboy and a celebrity. This story also takes on an age-old mystery that is at the root of one of the biggest family feuds of all time. The Cade-Loveland feud is what brings Katlynn (Katie-Lynn) back to her hometown and thrusts her into the path of her former love, Cole.

I was so excited for this mystery to finally be uncovered. I've been reading this series from the beginning and the feud and mystery has gradually built up over the course of it. I've grown to love each of these families and their gruff, hermit-like members.

This love story has plenty of electrical moments, but the characters different wants and needs take the romance on a long, hard journey. The writing style carried me away, as it was so vivid and descriptive. The plot, the chemistry, the swoony kisses, the mystery, and the characters make this read very enjoyable!

Content: mild, swoony romance; mild violence

I really love this series by Karen Rock and this book was amazing! I love the plot, the characters, the emotion and … I really love rugged cowboys so it's no surprise this is ranking very high on my 'Recommend' list. I look forward to more from Karen Rock - hopefully very soon!

I bow down to you MS Rock you have pulled at my heart-strings you have made me tear up and made me smile in this fabulous addition to this series, and what a well suited tile, this describes Cole Loveland so well, and what he goes through to get the love of his life, his soul mate, the other half of him Katlynn Brennon back in his life.

Cole Loveland is the eldest Loveland, stubborn to a fault, honest, loyal and will do anything for his family and the people he loves a true Loveland but what he has gone through after he lost his mother has left him pretty much a hermit, he and his family are still in a feud that is over a hundred years old with neighbours The Cades and things are going to get a bit stressful for Cole as the woman he loves has arrived back in Carbondale to do a story on the feud, it has been twelve years since she left and his heart still belongs to Katlynn, but he is still very stubborn.

Katlynn Brennon comes from a large family and always felt unnoticed, invisible to her family, but her first love Cole Loveland meant so much to her, they were childhood sweethearts, and she was there for him and his family through the worst times, but when planning their marriage they could not agree, both wanted very different things, Cole is so stubborn and she ran, now she is a hosts a major TV show researching scandalous history and is asked to research the old Cade Loveland feud. This is going to be hard for Katlynn going back to her home town and getting close to Cole again the man that will always be her love.

This is a beautiful story, a story filled with emotion and heart-ache but so much joy as well, when some stubborn people learn to compromise and above all else trust in their feelings and their hearts then joy will bloom. I loved Cole what a hero and Katlynn she is so strong and understanding she is a rock a true heroine to match the hero. There was so much uncovered in this story about the feud and the lives of past Lovelands and Cades, I could barely put the book down, this is one that I highly recommend thank you MS Rock for another keeper, can’t wait till the next one 

A Return to her Roots

-‘“I’m investigating the Cade-Loveland feud.”’-

Katie-Lynn “Katlynn” returns from L.A. to do an investigative report on the history of the great feud between two families. She’s hoping it will save her career and it will help the Lovelands financially as well. The challenge will be in keeping her feelings for Cole buried in the past...

Another great story by this gifted author! Loving this series!

4.5 Stars!

This 4th book in the Rocky Mountain Cowboys series moves from a Cade sibling to a Loveland and the feud continues. While I can nearly always rely on a poignant romance when reading this author's work, this story had a mystery that amped up my page-turning fervor. Having learned of some of the reasons behind the Cade/Loveland feud from previous books, A Cowboy's Pride finally reveals the whole story. As always the romance was enjoyable and Cade and Katie Lynn were wonderful characters, but the mystery was a fun and creative diversion. With a mystery solved, a wedding restored, and a second chance romance reclaimed, this could have been the book to end the series on. Thanks goodness we have more Cade and Loveland siblings to set our sights on.

I really, really love this series! There is just something about cowboys, I'm telling you. The men in these books are hard working, rough and tough, fiercely loyal and maybe just a touch stubborn. In this book we switch over to Cole who is in the opposing family from the first three characters in the first three books. This is significant because there is a feud going on between the Cades and the Lovelands that extends back generations. I love that each previous book gives us glimpses into this feud but that this book brings us a climactic resolution to that feud. It was so fun to have that added bonus of a mystery being solved weaved into this story line.

From the first few pages into this book I just knew I was going to be hooked into this second chance at first love story. As everything set up, I said to myself, "Oh, here we go. This is going to be good." And it was. So, so good. The attraction was there. The tummy butterflies were there. My emotions were engaged and I was fully invested in the story. You can't ask for more than that. Right? Yumma cowboy Cole.

Content: Mention of murder, intimate relations before marriage resulting in pregnancy, kissing.

This is the 4th book of the series and a great one! I loved Cole right away but I wasn't too sure of Katlynn right away, she grew on me. Even though Cole & Katlynn had been apart for so many years, they still had their chemistry. It was interesting reading about them communicating with each other, especially with Cole trying to figure out if he should & could trust her again after she chose her career over him before.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

This is my first book by author Karen Rock and the forth book in the Rocky Mountain Cowboys Series. Cole Loveland and Katlynn Brennon have a past that neither of them wants to think about. They went to their separated ways when Katlynn followed her dreams to become an import and person in the Television Land. But Katlynn has no choice but to return to her hometown in Colorado to try and save her struggling TV show.

It seems that a longtime feud between both Cade and KatieLynn’s families was still controlling a lot of the issues even now. And when Katie Lynn starts investigating the feud, emotions and tensions were flying everywhere. So many issues causing a great many issues and misunderstandings in the town.

I did enjoy this book and it’s characters. The author does a great job creating the characters and weaving them into a plot that was well thought out and planned. I missed the other books, but glad I read this one. The book that brought the series to and end with all of the excitement that has been building up since the series began. I’m sorry I missed the others, but this one was an amazing read! This book was given to me by Clean Wholesome Romance to read and review and post what I think about the story. This review offers my opinion only. The 5 Star rating is my opinion of how well the story flows, how well written, and just my overall opinion.

4 1/2 STARS!

Old feelings and old mysteries collide as two childhood sweethearts reunite and band together to learn the truth about his family history. Discoveries they never expected lead them down a path of danger and insight. Can Cole truly trust her to do what's best for his family, or will her ambition win out against her feelings for him yet again? Delving deeper into the Loveland side of this feud lets us get to know the family better since the series so far had centered around the Cade's. I enjoyed how well the Cades were still brought into the storyline of this family as well. An enjoyable plot, great characters and a satisfying mystery kept me enthralled throughout!

Katlynn Brennon left Carbondale, Colorado a dozen years ago ... naive, broken-hearted and living only for her dreams. Now, after achieving great success, she's on the verge of having her TV show cancelled and struggling to keep it all together. She never thought she'd be returning home to Carbondale, but when the infamous Cade-Loveland feud strikes the fancy of her producers as the great mystery that might save their show, she finds herself smack dab in the middle of her old life again.

Cole Loveland already feels like Katie-Lynn did him wrong by choosing her career over their future together all those years ago, and now here she comes waltzing back into town determined to stir up an ugly past that his family just might not live down. He'll do anything to keep his family secure ... even agree to work with her to solve the mystery of the start of the big feud between the Cade's and his ancestors. Fighting the feelings that still fly when they're in the same vicinity might be a tough road to travel though!

This is the fourth book in this series and contains so many surprises and revelations I found it an enthralling and intriguing read, a real page turner that I didn’t want to put down until I’d finished it. All the stories in the series have included information about the long lasting Cade-Loveland feud but this is the story where the origins of the feud are researched and investigated whilst two second chance romances also develop . . .

High school sweethearts Cole Loveland and his ex fiancée Katie-Lynn (or as she’s now known, Katlynn) Brennon split when she followed her dream to become famous, working in television. She succeeded and stars in a series investigating scandalous historic events but the series is under threat and they need something special to intrigue audiences and up their ratings. Katlynn suggests the Cade-Loveland feud, even though that will bring her back to her home town and her first love again. The chemistry between the couple is still there but with so much history between them can working to help discover more about the feud lead to a second chance for their romance?

The feuds of the past are still dividing the two families, even though the elders of the two families are planning to marry. As the investigations develop there are so many revelations, more misunderstandings and there’s more than one romance endangered by them all. It has great characters who it is easy to empathise with and the plot is so brilliantly structured, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing and turning the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and others in this series - and can’t wait to read more regarding both families in future, especially after the revelations in this story!

I requested and was given a copy of this book, via NetGalley. This is my honest review of the book after choosing to read it.

I have been thoroughly enjoying Karen Rock’s Rocky Mountain Cowboys series. In the newest installment, A Cowboy’s Pride, the focus shifts from the Cades to their rival family—the Lovelands. Cole has been hanging around, making those Cade men jealous, a few times. Now it’s his turn in the hot seat (or maybe I should say his turn in the saddle).
As Cole and Katie-Lynn (his former fiancée) dig into the Cade-Loveland feud and subsequent loss of Cora’s tear, they uncover much more than they anticipated. While working together, they quickly discover their attraction for each other hasn’t faded but has anything changed? There were valid reasons they broke it off to begin with.
Rock builds plenty of tension, fans the flames of the rivalry we’ve come to love between the Cades and Lovelands, oozes plenty of cowboy bravado, and throws in some make-you-melt kissing scenes! All while weaving a mystery of what firmly drew the line between the Cade and Loveland families. And did I mention this is leading up to the marriage that will unite these two families?
Another fabulous, couldn’t put it down read from Rock

The 4th book of the Rocky Mountain Cowboy series and it was a very sweet second chance romance story.
The heroine Katie-Lyn goes back to her hometown in Colorado after 10 years to investigate the historic Cade-Loveland feud in the hopes of saving her TV show. And there she'll meet again her ex-fiancée Cole Loveland, who's also having a hard time in their ranch, which is why his father accepts an offer for Katie-Lyn's show to film in their land, he reluctantly agrees as long as he can be part of the investigation.
And as they begin to work to try and uncover the past, their feelings which were never truly gone start to resurface; of course their road isn't easy so they'll have to work on their issues if they want to give their love a chance.

The part of uncovering the mystery behind the found was a very interesting, it added suspense to the plot and the romance was very sweet and heartwarming, I truly enjoyed it, plus it had the perfect ending!

Another good story in the Cades and Lovelands fued. Cole and Katlynn try for a second chance at love amid a mystery regarding the two families fued. I Loved the way Cole has to learn how to compromise to be able to find happiness. A very good story, but I can't wait for Jewel and Heaths story next!

Katie Lynn(Katlynn) Brennon and Cole Loveland's story. Can young love overcome the past, learn to heal, love again ? When Katie Lynn comes back home to do a family history study of the Cade-Loveland family feud she must first handle her past with her ex Cole Loveland. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what will happen next. You'll get heartache, tragedy, revenge, intrigue, and of course love! A sure 5 star read!

So worth the wait! 💚💙
I was so excited to finally read about a Loveland. This 2nd chance romance for Cole and Katie-Lyn does not disappoint when Katie-Lyn makes her way back to Colorado on assignment after 10 years.
A wake-up call in the romance department for these two, along with Cole's Dad, Boyd and Joy Cade, Mother to the Cades we've already met.
The background story that's been brewing is very much front and center in this book involving a long ago love and Cora's Tear, a beautiful sapphire owned by a Cade and stolen by a Loveland or that's how the story goes anyway.
Ms Rock knows how to engage the reader with suspense, intrigue and a plot that will keep you hooked until the end, along with a beautiful ending to a great romance.
A stand alone, clean, contemporary read.
I received an ARC via Netgalley and am freely giving my honest review of A Cowboy's Pride
