A Kiss for Cade

The last person Zoe Bradshaw wants to see is Cade, but she does want to raise her best friend's children as her own. So she tries to be polite, if cool, even as the attraction between them flares up again. Only this time, Zoe is determined not to let Cade get close to her heart.
But the townsfolk have other ideas. They want to see the little orphans with a mother and a father, and they form a plan that includes the possibility of a kis...

Solid 3.5/5 stars.
I bought this book off of Logos Hope, the book ship! It was such an experience and this book was unexpectedly SO GOOD. Absolute page-turner. I read this a long, long time ago but I remember loving it so much. & I didn't even know it was part of a series HAHAH. It was a great read.

Very cute story. I enjoyed reading it. Cade was Zoe's first love. But life moved on when Cade left town and didn't return until years later. His sister and brother in law had both succumbed to the fever. His sister requested that Cade should have their four kids before she died.
Zoe would rather not have Cade return to town and take over the children. Truth was she loved the children and wanted to keep them. A recent widow herself , she had never really gotten over Cade riding out of town and not coming back as he had promised. How can Zoe convince Cade to let her keep the children? Can an old romance be rekindled after all those years?
Readers who enjoy historical romance will want to read this book. I'm glad that I did.

I love a good love story and I love a good western. I've spent the past 2 days entrenched in both.
A Kiss for Cade, written by Lori Copeland.....need I say more.
Her name alone says that this is a good book. I haven't read all 95 books that Lori has written, but of those that I have read....I've not been disappointed.
A Kiss for Cade was first released as The Courtship of Cade Kolby in the general market. Lori has updated the text to reflect her switch to the Christian publishing arena, making this her 34th CBA title.
This was a quick, easy read. I was laughing and crying throughout the story. It opens with Zoe, a widowed storekeeper, being left to watch over her best friend's children after the fever take both parents. Zoe is charged with sending word to their uncle to come and settle the affairs of his sister and decide where her children will live. It is Zoe's heart desire to keep the children herself. But Cade has other plans.
Cade left Winterborn, Kansas, 15 years earlier, leaving behind his sister and parents for the life of a bounty hunter. He left to make his fortune...planning to someday return to the love of his life, Zoe. Weeks turned into months and months into years and he never returned. Zoe waited, but after Cade never came back for her, she got on with her life...while struggling to put her heartache of a love lost behind her.
Now her heart is threatened when old memories come back as she watches the children fall in love with their Uncle Cade. He lets down his guard and allows the children to melt away years of hardness. He is the perfect uncle allowing little girls to put ribbons in his hair and a scary "pet" on his chest. He teaches the boys how to handle a gun, but stresses that it's only for hunting for food. He proves he's man enough to hunt down the bad guys and wear an apron.
And then there is the townfolk....they have their own ideas about what is best for the children....and Zoe and Cade for that matter. They set a plan in action and are determined to carry it out.
I closed the book tonight having gone through just about every emotion you want to experience while reading. Lori has you reading the words just like little Missy would have said them, turning her "r's" into "w's". I cried when Holly had to finish Zoe's prayer for Cade's safety and I was smiling when I turned the last page. My words to myself were...."Now that was a good book".
I want to thank Rebeca Seitz from Glass Road Public Relations for asking me to review this book for her....it was a huge treat.

I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful story. The last person Zoe Bradshaw wanted to see was a sweetheart from 15 years ago. He had once promised that he would return but he never lived up to his promise. Now he is back home, trying to find a decent place for his late sister's kids to live. Seeing Cade after all these years makes her heart remember how she once felt, but Zoe is furious because he had not kept his promise to her. She will not allow her heart to be broken once again.
As Lori Copeland developed each character, I found myself enjoying the story more and more. Zoe is a fiery woman with lots of spunk. She's not about to let anyone push her around. And Cade is so easy to fall in love with. He's such a man... and just the right temperament for this spunky lady. The four children are absolutely adorable and you can imagine what they're like in your mind's eye. A few other characters bring laughter to many scenes, which makes the book hard to put down. Lori has a real talent for creating humor and romance in the most delightful ways. She has you laughing one moment and sighing the next. Lori amazes me how she can make such humorous situations in between the serious ones.

A bounty hunter returns home to attend to his sister’s four children after the deaths of both parents due to fever, children he’d never met. And then there’s Red, the girl he left behind who is caring for said children and who is an old flame.
Four orphaned children, an outbreak of measles, cattle rustling, stage coach robbery, and a gangster gunning for our hero, a business near bankruptcy, and a rival suitor. Can anything else go wrong? I forgot the dreaded maiden Aunt.
This is a sweet historical romance that never bores and supplies humour and good feelings.

I did not enjoy this one as much as the first in her western sky series. It felt heavy and the characters' choices were hard for me in parts. I did love how she brought the community together to support the Wiseman children, Cade and Zoe in the end. Looking forward to #3.

Strange happen stances that could only be dreamed in a small town.
I liked the memories that were brought back to me about shivarees. Our family would do them for our newlyweds in the 40's, 50's and early 1960's

Fifteen years ago, Cade Kolby rode out of Winterborn. He promised to come back and didn’t, leaving young Zoe with a broken heart and a secret—both of which nearly destroy her. She’s none too pleased to summon the now-famous bounty hunter back home when his sister dies, leaving four orphaned children behind. But that was Addy’s last request, so Zoe complies. A widow now, she’s older, wiser and much more on her guard than the love struck maiden Cade abandoned so long ago. All she needs to do is convince Addy’s brother to give her those kids. He owes her that much. Then he can ride back into the sunset and keep on riding, as far as Zoe’s concerned.
Cade never forgot the red-haired maiden he loved and left behind. And now, seeing her again, watching her with his sister’s kids, recognizing the fine woman she’s become, he finds his career-hardened heart melting like a snowball in a heat wave. But despite that undeniable attraction to his former love, he’s determined to find a real home for his nieces and nephews. A home with a mother and a father. A secure, normal environment. Though he knows she loves them like her own, he can’t bring himself to consider Zoe as a possibility. She’s cute as a kitten and twice as feisty, but the woman lives in an apartment barely large enough to turn around in, runs a rapidly failing general mercantile, and barely has the funds to keep her own pretty mouth fed. No. Zoe doesn’t need four younguns, and the kids need more than she can offer them.
It seems Cade’s trip back home might just end in disaster. Four unhappy children, a fighting mad redhead with a freshly broken heart, and a hunky cowboy riding back into the sunset—this time leaving his own heart behind.
But then the townsfolk step in to do a bit of heavy-handed matchmaking, and Zoe and Cade don’t stand a chance.
A Kiss for Cade is a sweet romance with a pinch of pluck and a dash of daring. The author weaves a western love story with grace and beauty. The element of faith is seamlessly woven into a lively tale that leads the reader through a full range of varying emotions. It paints the good ol’ days in a light of love and laughter yet clearly portrays the hardships of a frontier life.
Lori Copeland knows how to spin a tale. In A Kiss for Cade, she does it with undeniable flair and a healthy dose of fun.
This is the way to write a book!

A KISS FOR CADE was an enjoyable, even humorous read set in the western planes of Kansas.
Zoe Bradshaw finds herself not only mourning the loss of her best friend, Addy, but angry at her as well. Addy has asked that her bounty hunter brother, Cade decide the future of her four young children, children Zoe loves as her own. Once in love with Cade, Zoe doesn’t want him to return to Winterborn. He left promising his return and never looked back. And no matter how many times she tells herself she is over Cade, one look at him is all she needs to convince herself that the embers once ignited by him are still simmering deep in her heart. Zoe has two objectives: keep her distance from Cade, and convince him the children belong with her.
Cade Kolby is in a quandary. His heart is still wrapped up in Zoe but with a man aiming to gun him down, Cade needs to leave Winterborn fast before he brings trouble to his hometown. In and out, that’s what he’s prepared to do. What he doesn’t plan for is the tug on his heartstrings by his sister’s children, or the comfort he finds in playing the part of a Pa, and wanting to be with Zoe. With a little help from the town folk, he just might be able to have what it is he’s always dreamt of, that is if Hart McGill doesn’t find him first.
I really enjoyed A KISS FOR CADE. Written with one chapter flowing into the next, I didn’t really find time to put it down. There were humorous sections that really broke up what some might otherwise consider a predictable story. Sure, you’re fairly convinced you know the outcome, and there is the always present drama, but there was a quirkiness about A KISS FOR CADE that put a smile on your face as you read.

The romance that makes you squirm at the characters and scream at their blind spots for love makes me smile when I read it in a book. Much in the way that I enjoy the comedy and romance of Mary Connealy, I really enjoyed this story from Lori Copeland. I have read some of her other new books such as those from Avon Inspire and enjoy them. Yet this series from Harvest House is even better.
A Kiss for Cade is the second book in The Western Sky Series, but the first one for me, and now I'll have to go find a copy of Outlaw's Bride because I enjoyed this one so much. Cade is not sure what his future will be, but with the death of his sister and forced return to the people of his past things are even more confusing. This is a story that brings out the pain and pressure of Zoe's early years, but realizes after fighting it that God is in control and will make things work out in his own time.
The thrill of a bounty hunter's life with a show down on the streets with the madness of the town taking over one's romantic future is an amusing tale that will entertain you and cause inward sighs. Lori Copeland did well in this novel. It is a great one to enjoy around the romance of Valentine's Day or anytime. Snuggled in your favorite reading spot, you'll be swept away into a western romance that will keep you feeling the love long after you turned the last page.
More please.

A good old fashioned western love story when the towns are more like family and pull together for the good of 4 orphaned children and one of their own who comes back after 15 years of bounty hunting.
Cade Kolby left Kansas when he was 17 years old promising to return "soon" to Zoe his girl. She waited for 9 years until she gave up on his return and married another. Her new found union didn't last long before a robbery took her new husband. She resolved to live a life alone except for her best friend, Abby and her family who happens to be cade's sister.
When tragedy strikes leaving Abby's children orphans, Abby makes Zoe promise to send for Cade to decide the future of her children. Cade comes home and not much has changed including his love for Zoe or Zoe's for his except that she is also angry for his broken promise. When Zoe wants to take care of the kids and Cade refuses, the town steps in to get the two to marry in order to keep the kids from going to their elderly aunt. The marriage was supposed to be in name only, but the two break down the barriers set before them only to await Cade's leaving to protect his new family from the trouble that is following him...a threat for his life and now his new families. The town pulls together and faces the danger straight on and find a way for the family to be together always.

Cade Kolby has spent years as a bounty hunter and plans to spend the rest of his life doing the same. Afterall, bounty hunters can't exactly retire - too many enemies looking for revenge. When his sister, Addy, dies and leaves behind four children, her last directive is that Cade should decide who will care for her children. Addy's best friend, Zoe, immediately takes custody of the children while they await Cade's return to Winterborn. Zoe loves the children as her own and intends to convince Cade that she should have custody. She's determined to be polite and professional despite her tumultuous past with Cade. Unfortunately for Zoe, sparks fly immediately upon Cade's arrival. Will Zoe and Cade be able to move beyond their past? And even if they could, would Cade ever be able to provide a safe and stable environment for her and the children?
A Kiss for Cade by Lori Wick was definitely an entertaining read. The chemistry between Cade and Zoe was excellent. My only complaint was that at one point, which I won't exactly specify because it would be a spoiler, there was plot twist that seemed cheesy. Had that part not seemed so cheesy, it might have been humorous. Overall, A Kiss for Cade is enjoyable and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical romances.

One of the best books I’ve ever read !! Loved the action and the romance that was involved! SPOILERS !!!!!! Cades attitude was really good. He was really worried that since McGill was looking to kill him, he didn’t want to indanger Zoe and the kids. LOVED the part when pop locked them in the jail so they ( Cade and Zoe) has to work out their problems. The whole town wanted to get Cade and Zoe together (except perry 😂). Loved it ! No other words!!

This was another good clean western romance from the Western Sky Series. It seems like the only similarities in this series is that they take place in the west. None of the characters or towns are they same at all. I look forward to reading the third book.
Amazon Product Description:

When Zoe Bradshaw saw "fifteen-years-ago" ride into town, she became determined that Cade Kolby was not going to take away her best friends' children from her guardianship; even though he was their uncle. Notorious bounty hunter Cade Kolby cannot believe that Zoe Bradshaw can still make his heart stutter fifteen years after he left her behind with childhood memories and broken promises. His plan? To find a good home for his sister's children and ride away as quickly as possible; he has a dangerous man after him; seeking revenge; determined to kill him.
" A Kiss for Cade" is a clever, at-times-humorous, at-times-heartbreaking story of a love lost and then found again. Will Zoe and Cade put aside their differences, their broken hearts, their regretful pasts and move forward; or will Cade, once more ride off into the sunset; alone. It's a wonderful book and a great addition to Lori Copeland's "Western Sky Series".

Bounty hunter Cade Kolby leaves the trail of a killer to decide what to do with his late sister's children. When he returns to his hometown, he finds his childhood sweetheart, Zoe Bradshaw, waiting for him. She has one request: let her adopt the kids, whom she's grown to love.
Lori Copeland is a very witty writer, and the scenes where Cade tries to make friends with the kids' pet tarantula, Bud, are very funny. Her characterizations are true and the plot, like most romances, is somewhat predictable but this is still a good story. I'll definitely be looking for more of her work.

This is a Christian romance novel about Cade who is a bounty hunter. Cade comes back to his home town to find his nieces and nephews a home after their parents die. The nieces and nephews are being taken care of by their mom's best friend who also happens to be an old girlfriend of Cade's. This book kept my attention the whole time. It had some suspense, plenty of banter, and romance. I also appreciated that the religious part wasn't over done as sometimes it can be. I loved this book!

One of Lori Copland's better stories, the character's have a past that Cade would like to rekindle, but Zoe has good and surprising reasons for not wanting to get involved with Cade again. The town is creative in helping them solve their differences.
If you want to try a Copleland book, this one and "Walker's Wedding" is as good as they gets.
