The Cowbear's Christmas Shotgun Wedding

Curvy Bear Ranch #3

by Liv Brywood

For years, Kate Wrangler refused to return to her family's ranch in the small town of West Yellowstone. But after receiving a call that her good-for-nothing father finally dropped dead, she's obligated to sell the decrepit property. As if things couldn't get any worse, Logan Grant, the sexy heart-breaker who ruined her life, is hanging around the barn when she arrives. She's only planning on staying long enough to sell the ranch. He can try all he wants, but Kate's never going to fall for his heated glances and sultry kisses.

Cowboy bear shifter Logan Grant takes one look at Kate's curvy figure and makes it his mission to help her repair the ranch—and the bond between them. She still hates him, but that's not going to stop him from claiming her as his mate. When he finds out she hasn't shifted in over a decade, his bear decides to show her what it means to be feral. He only has one week to steal her heart, but with the magic of Christmas on his side, he's ready to do whatever it takes to claim his fated mate.

I don't understand. At least this couple has known each other since high school (instead of a couple of days), but it's not as if they were on good terms back then. Is the sex so good that they Kate can just forget everything? And if there are so many werebears in the town, why was Kate shunned? I don't understand.

Paranormal bear shifter story. This is the 3rd in the series of 6 brothers who own a ranch by Yellowstone.

Logan is the last brother you'd think would fall in love & get married, but he meets Kate again & that's that. Kate has bad memories of Logan when they were in high school. He was a huge jerk to her & made her life miserable. He proves to her that he's changed, so there's a HEA for them.

Putting aside past hurts...

Kate returns to her childhood home after her alcoholic father dies to fix it up, sell it and put her painful past to rest.

Logan wants to help her fix it up to make amends for hurting her deeply while they were in HS and he was a thoughtless jerk of teen.

As she fixes the house and gets to know the adult Logan she grows to really enjoy him as a friend and the attraction between them builds. Soon she discovers things she never knew about her father and faces the past so her heart can heal, move forward and love.

Learning to love

Kate had one objective, to clear out the house and sell it and everything else on the ranch within a week.
Logan obviously had other ideas once he really got to know the adult Kate.
She had deep resentment over her father thinking he never cared or loved her.
Finding his old journals showed her just how much he did love her and that he really did try to quit drinking but found out that being in Vietnam changed he so much.
It takes just one person to love and care for you to open your eyes and feel with your heart.
It also helps if you can forgive the people of your past.

Second Chances sometimes are best.

Kate and Logan’s story is really a story of second chances for the Bully and the girl he bullied as a child. Resentment is deep and looking pass the past is hard but Logan shows he means what he says and works heart to tame Kate’s heart.

Quick read with a HEA and a continuation to the Curvy Bear Ranch Series.

I enjoyed this 3rd book in the series. Kate first hated Logan because of what he did to her in high school but the attraction was there regardless. Logan was very sorry about his actions as a teenager so to make up for that he helped her with repairs on her ranch. Add in a fire, Kate shifting for the first time in 10 years and steamy kisses, then comes the happily ever after.

[Nesie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another rushed story. Logan is a misogynistic douchebag, and his love (I've already forgotten her name) is confusing love with attraction. The "Bad Guy real estate developer" subplot vanishes without a whimper, just like the prior book's major impediment did. Was almost a DNF for me. I'll try one more, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Coming home to her father’s death was not easy but selling the house is a necessary evil. Then she runs into the boy at school who made her prom miserable and all he wants to do is help he clean up the property. Logan regrets his behavior back in the day and wants to be forgiven so he will do whatever he has to to get forgiveness and maybe more as his best wants her forever.

Awesome

I really loved reading this story. It fits in perfectly with the other Cowbear books. From the start to the finish, and all the detours it took to get there, I was totally captivated by this storyline. Love a good HEA, and this story made it fun too. Sigh...

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well written, not a fan of the plot

It's a decent book but I'm not a fan of giving abusive parents a "redemption" arc.

Especially when the character ends the arc thinking they "could've been a better daughter to him". Abuse is never the victim's fault.

I was given this book in exchange for my honest opinion and a review.

This is the third book in Liv Brywood Curvy Bear Ranch series and what a book it is, not only will you be brought on an insanely amazing romantic ride but you will fall in love all over again with the new and old characters. I seriously don't no how she does it but this series is the best.

In this book we meet Kate and Logan and these two are the most romantic couple yet.

Kate Wrangler has always refused to come back to her family's ranch in the small town of West Yellowstone. But after she receives a phone call telling her that her father had finally gone dropped dead, she is now obligated to sell his property. And just as she thought that things just couldn't get any worse than it already was, in strolls Logan Grant, the heart stopping sexy man who ruined her young life, she finds him hanging around the barn when she first arrives. She's got her mind set on only two things staying just long enough to sell her fathers ranch and high tailing it away and back to her home after all she hasn't got anything to stay for right?.

Logan can try all he wants, but she is never ever going to fall for his hot sultry glances and sinful kisses.

Logan Grant is a Cowboy bear shifter he only has to take one long glance at Kate's curvaceous figure To no that he has to make it his life's mission to help her repair the ranch, especially after what he did to her in the past he has to show her he has changed as well as the advantage that this can only make the bond between them stronger.

But she still holds a grudge against him, but that will not stop him from claiming her as his forever mate. When he learns that she hasn't shifted in well over a decade, he as well as his bear takes it upon themselves to show her what it truly means to be feral.

He has a huge challenge on his hands as he only has but one week to claim her heart. With the beauty and the magic of Christmas on his side, he will do whatever it takes to claim his fated mate.

This book is utterly stunning it has everything you need and more in a romance Liv Brywood has out done herself this book seriously captured a part of my Heart and a serious chunk of my soul.

Kate is an outstanding character she has gone through hell and back as a child and through part of her adult life she got teased mercifully, and knows that returning back to her old home is not going to be easy and it certainly isn't. I adore how much thought how much emotion that the author has put in to this character.

Logan is a changed bear he finally has a chance to show Kate that he has changed and he puts his all in to doing just that. I love how his past mistakes have changed him in to such an amazing man, he is the bear I long for especially on a long cold Christmas night.

An Outstandingly Magical Read Which Will Warm Your Heart And Soul.

This was a really enjoyable read. I was looking forward to Logan's story and I was not disappointed. The storyline was entertaining and the characters were really sweet. It was nice to catch up with the other brothers and their mates. I did however find that the scene where he tells her he loves her and he asks her to marry him felt a little rushed to me. But overall a charming little Christmas, shifter story.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Here we are at the Curvy Bear Ranch in West Yellowstone with the hunky Grant Boy's. We have already read about Brady in the first book and Mack Grant was in the second book. Now the third book is the CowBear Shifter, Logan Grant whose famous for his
"Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am".  He served in the service, became a medic and was discharged and now he works on the ranch.
Logan had only one regret he was so sorry
for bulling and teasing this girl in
High School.
Kate Wrangler, also a Bear Shifter had to come back to the place she escaped from years before, The Wrangler Ranch. Wouldn't you know it her father passed away right before Christmas, Kate was sure he did it on purpose, he'd do anything to screw up her life. She gave herself one week to sell this broken down ranch and leave forever. Than she saw him... Yes, this whole Series is a must read, believe me you'll love it. I was gifted this ARC for an honest and truthful review.

Kate is back to clean up her father’s estate, and not because she wants to be. She has nothing but bad memories from where she grew up, so she’s trying desperately to clean out and repair the house and barn as quick as she can so she can sell and get back out, now rather than later. The neighbours have been good these past two weeks, helping out with the horses, but the one she really doesn’t want to see is the one in her barn. How will she ever get through this next week if Logan keeps coming around? After he humiliated her at the senior prom over ten years ago, she’s not sure she wants him around. With so many hurts to push through, will Kate be able to get through the week? Will she ever be able to forgive Logan and be able to move on? Will Logan be able to watch her walk away, even though his bear knows she’s his mate? With so many issues, this is a tale you won’t want to put down. Even though this book is a standalone, it is helpful having read the previous books in the series, as it gives you a history of some of the other characters. Looking forward to the next in the series. Who can resist all of these hunky Grant brothers? The question now is….which one is next?

I was gifted a copy of "The Cowbear's Christmas Shotgun Wedding" from Liv Brywood in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my, what a story... Once I started it, I was quickly drawn into the events happening. This is book 3 in Liv's new series "Curvy Bear Ranch", although it can be read as a stand alone, I do suggest you read this series in order.

Kate has returned to her father's ranch to do 2 things, well actually 3... Fix up the ranch, sell the ranch & don't run into a certain someone whilst doing that. Luck isn't on Kate's side, the first person she sees when she firsts arrives is one person she never wants to see... Logan Grant.

I'm not going to ruin this for you, I will say that you will venture on a sweet ride, in which both Kate & Logan learn new things about themselves & one-another. Lets not forget the action, emotions, drama weaved in between. I enjoyed this short story emensely, once I started it, I quickly found myself finished & was left wanting more. I can't wait to read what Liv has planned next for ths "Curvy Bear Ranch" series.

I was given an arc of The Cowbear’s Christmas Shotgun Wedding (Curvy Bear Ranch, Book 3) for my honest opinion.

And what can I say but I love the Curvy Bear Ranch series! I just love the way Liv Brywood writes her stories and who couldn't fall in love with the men at the Curvy Bear Ranch! In book 3 Katie comes home after her dad dies to sell the place and Logan just happens to be there helping with the horses in the barn when she shows up. Katie is pissed at Logan for what he done to her in her senior year in High School on Prom night! This is a story about loss, longing, forgiveness, and love. I must admit I cried at certain parts and was touched at how playboy Logan went about claiming his mate. This is another great read and if you haven't read Books 1-2 yet they should be added to your TBR list. I think they could be read as stand alone but you would miss out on some good reads if you don't read the others as well you will fall in love with all the brothers at the Curvy Bear Ranch!!!

Aww young love is great, we'll that is until that one person you thought was different shatters that in minutes. After 10 years Kate comes home to sell off her father's home that hold so many bad memories. Just and in and out thing, we'll that's what she tells herself.

Logan Grant is a handsome man who works at the Curvy Bear Ranch, but also the man that wasn't a nice guy when he was younger.

They come face to face as feelings begin to stir, but for one is pure hatred,the other is pure lust. Logan and Kate begin to spend more time together and slowly start to build up that trust once again but when a land developer shows up at Kate front door offering her money for land, Logan goes into protective mode letting her know to stay away from him.

Will she take the offer and sell and leave Logan once again like she did 10 years ago or will Logan find a way to make her stay and show her that he's not the same person he was in high school.

Got this book as an Arc for an honest review

I received this for an honest review.

Kate Wrangler who was a beautiful curvy woman. She has been through so much in her life. Her father was not only abusive but was an alcoholic. She suffered abuse not only from her father but through school as well. Prom took the cake. That hurt her deeper then anything. She never dreamed of being back in her hometown. But after her father’s death she had to go back and settle his estate.

Logan Grant was a handsome bear shifter. He had heard that Mr. Wrangler had died and thought he would go and check on the farm. He never dreamed of running into Kate. Oh how him and his bear wanted her. Does not take him long to find out that Kate hates him. He hurt her when they were younger and she has not forgiven him.

Things get hot and heated between Logan and Kate. Kate only has plan being there for a week. Logan has plan of convincing her to stay. Will things work out between these two?
