Cowboy Up by Harper Sloan is the final book in the Coming Home Series by Harper Sloan. This time Clay is the main character. He is the strong silent type who thinks he will never find love. He is the head and runs the Davis Family Businesses and has little time for much else. He is up with the crack at dawn and works late into the night, until he meets Caroline Michaels. His one night stand until she reappears into his life and suddenly there is time and CHEMISTRY! I really enjoyed this last novel in the series. Cowboy Up really highlights how when people find the right person, they realized how empty their lives were before. That and let’s face facts, I love me a hot cowboy!
Clay, it's Clay! My most anticipated character to read!
And then......
To find out his HEA is a Caroline? Life.Made. I could pretend this was me!!!!
Sweet, romantic, both broken and needing to be healed....and come on, cowboys!
The Davis siblings definitely peaked my interest in Lost Rider, so I’ve been anxiously waiting for Clay to get his story. Clay and Caroline's story is heartfelt, passionate and full of deep emotion; you definitely won’t want to put it down till the end!
So if love a sexy cowboy, with strong family values, dedication and commitment their women and sex appeal to the max, then Harper Sloan's Coming Home series should be top of your TBR list!
4.5 STARS!
Cowboy Up was such a great read. I actually enjoyed this book more than I did the previous books in this standalone series. There was just something about this book that had me finishing it in one sitting. I loved Clayton and Caroline's characters from the beginning of the book and enjoyed them until the very end. I liked the mystery in the beginning with Caroline's "dark cowboy" and the chemistry between them was undeniable. I loved how these characters supported and stood by each other no matter what; they weren't all family through blood but they were family through the love they had for each other. This was a sweet but steamy, second chance romance filled with a bit of suspense, revenge and forgiveness. I truly loved the Davis clan and their families, and they all deserved their HEA's. This book had such a sweet ending and I loved reading everything come full circle. I highly recommend this book to romance lovers. This one will not disappoint.
Cowboy up by Harper Sloan
Sloan… has done it again! Just knocks it out of the park, with the final story in her Coming Home series. Clay is the perfect hero, he is an alpha, layered with so many traits we enjoy in our fictional heroes. Complicated, damaged and yet so loving that you can’t not fall head over heels in love with Clay Davis!
I can’t believe we are at the end of Harpers Coming Home series, this one is another second chance romance, with the characters so well written and the intimate stuff that happens in the bedroom, well it will leave you a little hot and bothered.
“We all have ugly in our past, sweetness. You just have to realize it was really life teachin’ you a lesson. When you find something that finally proves all that ugly was worth survivin’, it doesn’t look so bad when you see what kinda reward you get in the end.”
Cowboy Up is about the oldest Davis sibling, Clay and his women Caroline (Linney) *Swoon* from the begging to the end, I just gobbled this up. I couldn’t be happier at how it ended, and the part right at the end… OH my... Speechless I had tears in my tears and such a beautiful feeling. I can’t praise this book and series enough. I stated my journey with the series a little bumpy, but as they went along they just got better and better.
This story, is sweet, a little emotional and so freaking hot. Harper can never disappoint, if you are looking for a small town, hot cowboys who find their soul mates. This series is the one, you will go on an epic journey with all the characters, and Clay… I think he could be my most favourite Davis sibling. maybe (!!!)
“Until that time comes, you just let me love you slow and fuck you bad.”
Chemistry was on point, there romance perfect and their story is beautiful they both over come so much in this one, we haven’t meet Caroline in previous books, but she fits in perfectly with the characters, and she has a real great personality that you just adore. I love her best friends, and I hop *crosses fingers* that we might one day get their stories too.
I can’t wait for everyone to read Clays story. It brought me tears of laughter, joy and sadness so much realness went into this story and I felt it in my bones. I love how Harpers writing can affect you.
Arc was provided for an honest review, but I legit can not wait to buy this in paperback. All the Covers in this series are beautiful and I for one can not wait to have it on my book shelfs with my other too.

I need more stars!!!! This has got to be the very best of the series, and that is saying a lot since I LOVED the first two. I have been so hoping that Clay would get a love so <b>huge</b> and so <b>perfect</b>, and that is exactly what Harper Sloan gave us.
To some, Caroline Michaels might seem a little weak in the beginning, but I didn't see her that way. I saw a woman who has been through her own kind of purgatory and come out the other side ready to move on and grow. Part of that was a seeming one-night stand (and a chance to be a bad girl, for once) with a stranger who lit something inside. I saw a woman who was full of love and loyalty, perfect for a man who has had so much heartache in that area of his life.
Clay has been shown, time and again, that his siblings are the only people he can trust with his heart. When he first meets Caroline he isn't willing to believe what his heart is trying to show him. But he isn't a stupid man and when fate literally throws Caroline in his path he realizes that maybe it's time to see if maybe he does have a chance at something as beautiful as his siblings have found.
But will their exes leave them alone, or will they ruin the best thing to ever happen to Caroline and Clay? This is a sweet, sexy love story with a few twists along the way.
Thanks Harper I really enjoyed this last book in the "Coming home" series. This was also my favorite book. I simply loved both characters and their story. Their chemistry was great and I liked that they actually communicated with each other. If you are like me and like your books fast paced with great characters and good story than you won't be disappointed.
Excellent read. It was a little slow in the beginning, but once you get past the sluggish part, excellent read.
A sweet, emotional read where the last Davis sibling finally finds true love.
Clayton Davis gets knocked off his horse with the ever sweet and innocent looking Caroline Michaels. Her wanting to be bad while looking for a getaway from her life. These two have an explosive night together but go their separate way but fate has other ideas for them.
As you continue to read, you hope that Clayton will finally get his happily ever after. This was a nice way to end the Coming Home series.
I love everything about this book. This series is one of my favorites! Who doesn't love a hot cowboy alpha? Clayton is just that! He is one sexy cowboy! He is just WOW! Every woman is going to fall hard for him. Caroline is fun. I love how she just puts it out there. Together they are a fantastic couple who go thru so much. Great page turner book! You won't want to put down!
Cowboy Up is WOW I have no words other then my favorite in the Coming Home series. Harper Sloan knocked this one out of the park. It is such a sexy and emotional read. I'm still wiping the happy tears from my eyes. Cowboy up is so good. Clayton the sexy brooding eldest of the Davis bunch is everything I thought he would be and more when he finally had his soul searing/ soul healing kind of love moment. Caroline is so perfect for him. Both have pasts they need to face and heal from. I love love how they come together. Don't get me started on the unless chemistry between Caroline an Clay. Wowza I'm still fanning myself. Cowboy Up is such and fantastic cowboy loving, sexy hotness overload, sweet yet pulls all those emotions out of you read. One of my favorites yet of both Harper Sloan's and the year. A Must read. I couldn't put this one down.
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.
Cowboy Up is book 3 in the Coming Home series and brings us Clayton and Caroline. I liked this story it was sweet and romantic, a chance for healing and growing it had me holding hoping for the characters. I am enjoying this series overall and will recommend to readers
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.
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.
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.
