Immerse In Welcome Home, Cowboy (Wed In The West, #4) Illustrated By Karen Templeton File Digital Edition

Wonderful book. Karen Templeton's characters just suck you in and won't let go, Very easy to slide in and get comfortable with her characters and her plotlines, A wonderful read. This story is warm, funny and deadly serious, It's got everything, including an admirable heroine and a hero who's got a genuinely heartbreaking story to tell, Really enjoyed it! Didn't find the book incredibly romantic instead it was kind of a downer, Didn't enjoy it much. I guess too home and earthy type for me,
This reminded me why I don't read SSE much, I never felt there was much love between Cash and Emma, it was all he had such a twisted past and it was still affecting him and Emma and her problems with handling being a widow, kids etc

I appreciate books with issues, but not that many after all I read romance for fantasy and not realism, or it maybe just me and my moods.

Should have read with less expectations,/stars. Love, kids, animals, and some emotional baggage, but a terrific happily ever after, Don't miss this terrific story, Best book I've read this year, SOOOOOOOO awesome. I cried for the entire last three scenes! AMAZING, Welcome Home, Cowboy by Karen Templeton is a romance that has been making itself known in my trolling sessions for books to be added to my toberead mountain of books.
What propelled me to stop everything I was doing and completely immerse myself in this book was the fact that this one seems to have got great reviews and of course being a RITA award winner ofjust sealed the deal for me.


Cash Cochran returns home to Tierra Rosa almostyears after he leaves home and his abusive father behind, A country musician by profession, Cash is a man with enough torturedness in his soul that practically bleeds out of him when he comes face to face with his childhood home, now owned by his childhood best friend Lee Manning.
Cash hopes to hash things out with Lee only to find his pregnant and widowed wife Emma holding the fort with two kids and a grandmother in law with her brood of cats, that reaches into something deep inside of Cash that he has no knowledge of and squeezes it tight until he can't help but yearn for things better left unsaid.


From the moment Emma lays her eyes on Cash, all her emotions clamor to give him the comfort and peace that he seems to be in such dire need of.
And when Cash decides to help out at the farm intending to sort out how he feels with Emma's narration of events that completely turns upside down what he has believed all his life, Emma knows that she and her brood are in deep trouble if Cash's tender nature that emerges is anything to judge him by.


As the daily grind of the farm life brings them closer, both Emma and Cash realize that there is much more at stake than just their hearts alone and with Cash clamoring to leave as soon as Emma is able to get a handle on things after giving birth, Emma knows that there is no point in asking him to stay.
It is when Cash's past beckons him and takes him away that Cash realizes the true meaning of the word home as he finds that and so much more with Emma and her family.


I loved the emotion that practically seeped through the pages right from the very start, Even the first couple of chapters felt like an emotional minefield and that sets the tone of the story till the very end, But through it all, Karen still manages to give the reader the beauty that is in loving and in hoping for better things in life as Cash seems to finally find in Emma and her family.


One of the things that struck me in a good way of course was how different Karen's voice is from most of the romance authors, She brings to light different quirks about her characters and their backgrounds without going into a deep narration of sorts but rather places an interesting hint here and there which allows

the reader to draw his or her own conclusions which in turn makes the story that much more riveting and fun.


There is no character that you wouldn't fall in love with if you pick up Welcome Home, Cowboy, From Cash with his silver eyes that tries to hide his inner turmoil and pain to Emma who can't help but want to reach deep inside of Cash and fix things for him to Emma's adorable children Hunter and Zoey, whose point of view in the story just made me smile the entire time to the very quirky character we find in Grandmother Annie, the whole story is filled with well rounded characters that just totally invaded my heart and laid siege on it right from beginning.


And last but not the least, a special mention has to be made of Emma's character that just invites a man to want her for herself, She is beautiful inside and out, entirely comfortable with who she is and the best thing about her is her sense of hope and optimism that everything will turn out to be alright in the end.
The way she loves so wholeheartedly is the best thing about Emma and she is definitely ending up as a favorite heroine of mine,

Welcome Home, Cowboy is a romance everyone ought to read, just to experience the pull on the emotions that this one does so effectively,

Highly recommended!

Original review posted on sitelink MBR's Realm of Romance Karen Templeton became an autobuy author for me a couple years ago, Since I first read her Sybil made me do it I've glommed her backlist and picked up every new release she's put out, Some I enjoy more than others, but I know I'll always get a good, solid story with her,

I really liked how practical and plain spoken Emma was, She didn't mince words, or beat around the bush, she just told it exactly as it was, That was so refreshing.

Cash had a lot of issues from his past to deal with, and I like that Templeton took her time with both characters,

The kids were adorable, I liked the secondary characters and it was nice to see the other people of Tierra Rosa again,

The twist at the seemed to come out of left field, I understand it was needed to advance the story, but, . something about it didn't sit right with me, Maybe it was the way everyone reacted to it that bothered me Oh, my gosh, I can't even express how much I liked this book, My grade: A, It just won the RITA in the contemporary series category, I have not one criticism or disappointment, I loved Cash and Emma, loved their distinct and unusual voices, loved the humor, loved the soul wrenching Cash had to see his way through, Loved the setting, the secondary characters, the backstory situations that molded Cash and Em, I could go on and on, Anyone who doesn't read this book is just missing out on something really special, Karen Templeton, you are a Goddess, I just can't work up enough of a reaction to this ok book to fill a review, Basically, a grayeyed sitelinkWoobie hero comes home to face his demons and is healed by the power of love and Good Honest Work on a farm run by a pregnant, redheaded widow.
Plot moppets drift in and out of the narrative when cutesy matchmaking is necessary,

It bites off more than it can chew and so everything is handled rather facilely, When the hero comes back to the heroine at the end, I was thinking it was a good starting point for them to work on establishing a relationship, Instead of a beginning, though, it was a marriage proposal and a unicorn and rainbows HEA, It felt forced and rushed and just plain unsatisfying,

It's a thoroughly ok read, It wants to be a substantial story of hurt and comfort, but it doesn't spend enough time to really dig deep enough to give the issues the weight they deserved.
Emma, farmer amp Cash, country singer/songwriter, Original for a Hqn series book,
Recently widowed, pregnant and with two kids, Granny Annie, goats, cats and dog Miss Emma has an overflowing plate of responsibilities, Plus she is a farmer with fruit trees, fields and a greenhouse,
The kids, Zoey and Hunter, are a great addition I really enjoyed their take on Cash,
Lots of interesting twists and turns with a satisfying ending,
PS:And some special touches that make KT's books a cut above, A wonderful, rich, emotional romance that manages to make your heart ache and uplift you at the same time, Maybe her best to date, He'd never really had a place to call his own, . .

But the brokendown ranch in front of him was the closest he'd ever come, Now, pregnant widow Emma Manning was struggling to keep it, her children and herself going, She could use a hand, Well, that was all burnedout musician Cash Cochran could spare,

He'd never had a woman to call his own, either, . .

That was painfully obvious to Emma as soon as Cash knocked on her door, And though, with her evergrowing brood and her money pit of a ranch, she was the last woman on earth he could ever fall for, he was falling nevertheless.
They both were.

But what would happen when they landed,
