When Kendall Kelly’s career as the free spirited punk country crossover queen ends in a fiery ball of doom and humiliation, she has no place to go but back to her hometown Blackberry Cove, California, where she abandoned her secret husband years ago without so much as a note. She’s hoping to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and finally cut the last tie to the only man she ever loved.As … loved.
As part owner of Kelly Family Farms, Damian Sloan has spent the last few years rebuilding the floundering business into a growing organic farm. He thought he’d moved on from his broken heart, but when Kendall barges back into his life—broken but beautiful as ever—he soon realizes he hasn’t forgotten. Or forgiven. Kendall threatens everything he’s built, but he can’t quite turn her away.
Damian and Kendall must put aside their differences for the success of the farm they both depend on. Maybe, in the process, they can rebuild what they tragically lost.

What a terrific start to a new series. Blackberry Cove is a great backdrop for the story. Wonderful writing and fantastic characters that keep you engaged in the story until the end. Great second chance romance that emotional, heartbreaking and triumph. Loved the H/h. Worth the read. Thanks to NetGalley I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
Oh my Goodness what is not to love about up this book? Author Kasey Lane checks all the boxes and then some with Punk Rock Cowgirl. Damian is that smoldering alpha cowboy we all love. His escaped wife Kendall is not just a songbird but yes a mixed up trying to do the right thing. Oh this book like I said before Checks ALL the boxes. I am looking forward to more books based in BlackBerry Cove. I bet the the goat farm that this little town could grown into the next Cherry Lake. Bet yall thought I was going to say Marietta didn’t ya. LoL. Grab this one!
Punk Rock Cowgirl by Kasey Lane
Didn’t think I was going to like this because I myself are not into punk rock but I did enjoy it, woohoo another new author for me to read.
Starts out with Kendall and she’s returned to her grandmother’s town where she was raised. She is now gone and she’s there for the funeral and her husband, Damian shows up to comfort her.
She gets a rude awakening as the will is read. She had no idea. She assumed she’d walk back into town, get someone to sell her grandmothers house and she’d be on her way back to the city and performing her rock hits.
This is anything far from that. What I really liked was not only the compassion from her husband but hearing of how she was brought up by her grandmother and all the memories living on the farm.
Like the ideas Damian has for that and how he takes care of her also. Lots of hidden secrets that come out over time. What rotten luck to have been pushed away to begin with-you wonder if they can truly get back together or they will get divorced. Did not like swearing, just seemed to not fit.
Liked the locale and love the ending-wraps it all up!
Can’t wait to read more from this author.

Received this review copy from Tule Publishing and this is my honest review.
Punk Rock Cowgirl is Blackberry Cove Cowboys book #1.
It is the story of Kendall Kelly and Damian Sloan.
Kendall is a punk rock country queen. When her career ends in humiliation, she has nowhere else to go except back to her hometown. In Blackberry Cove, she tries to pick up the pieces of her life. Hard for her to do when she had left her husband behind and he is the only man she has ever loved.
Damian is part owner of Kelly Family Farms. He has spent the past few years transforming his business into an organic farm. He is not prepared for his broken heart to resurface when Kendal comes back into his life. She is as beautiful as ever, but she is broken. He realizes he has not forgotten or forgiven her like he thought. She is a threat to him and the life he has built, but love won’t let him turn her away.
Can they rebuild what was left behind when she went away?
I enjoyed their story. I like how they set aside their differences to make the farm a success. I like their chemistry.
I enjoyed reading Punk Rock Cowgirl by Kasey Lane, book one in her Blackberry Cove Cowboys series. Kendall Kelly returns home to Blackberry Cove to bury her grandmother, a mean-spirited woman who was forced to raise Kendall but not love her.This occurs at the same time Kendall’s career as a singer implodes with the thief of all her money by her manager and her record label dropping her while requesting their money advance for her next album be returned. Blackberry Cove is also where she abandoned her secret husband years ago without so much as a note. She’s hoping to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and finally cut the last tie to the only man she ever loved.
As part owner of Kelly Family Farms, Damian Sloan has spent the last few years rebuilding the floundering business into a growing organic farm. He thought he’d moved on from his broken heart after she left him. However, when Kendall reappears in his life, he realizes he hasn’t forgotten or forgiven her. Though Kendall threatens everything he’s built, he can’t quite turn her away.
These two need to come to an understanding and re-discover each other. Damian and Kendall need to put aside their differences and the past in order for the farm they both love and depend on to succeed. Maybe they can rebuild what they tragically lost, but first they both need to let the other know their true feelings and Kendall has to admit the truth about what happened that night, long ago.
I enjoyed reading this book and didn’t want to put this book down, reading it in one day. Ms. Lane wrote a wonderful story, drawing me in, making me forget the world around me. I definitely recommend this book to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
A great start to a new series of Blackberry Cove Cowboys. This book pulled me from the first page and finished in one day. A great story line of second chance romance between Kendall and Damian. A marriage that Kendall left years ago to make it big in the music industry now has returned to Blackberry Cove after her grandma passes away. Now she has a re-connection with the love of her life, her husband. Some tough decisions need to be made and secrets come out.
Great sexual chemistry between Damian and Kendall, steamy!! Loved the characters, well developed and pulled me right in. This is the first book of this author for me and enjoyed her writing. I highly recommend.
