These two were wayyyyyyy better than their siblings!!!! Ivy was young and even though she was inexperienced she knew what she wanted and it was Kane and she went for it. Kane noticed her but didn’t think anything of it until she flirted then it was game on. They sneaked around because their age gap and also because of Ivy’s sister who was also Kane’s best friend and sister in law. Kane and Hadleigh had history that was short lived but that didn’t bother Ivy. Kane at times felt uncomfortable that Ivy knew about his history with her sister but she proved to him that it didn’t matter. As always the Bishops are hilarious and it’s never a dull moment and when everyone found out about their relationship it was taken very well because surprisingly Kane and Ivy weren’t as sneaky as they thought. Great read!!!

After the way the previous standalone novel in the Circle B Ranch Series ended, I was eager to get my hands on Tempting the Cowboy. Everything was in place for a great age gap romance between Kane and Ivy.

I seriously liked this couple a lot. They shared such a powerful chemistry and every interaction between them was effortless. Ivy was this shy and introvert girl, but she wasn't afraid to show her true self to Kane. She still had moments where her awkwardness was just cute and it made her even more interesting. Kane was exactly the guy for her. I enjoyed how he was so thoughtful, respectful and caring. Despite both of their personalities being somewhat soft, this couple was pure fire together and shared some pretty steamy moments.

As always, it was so nice to witness all the scenes between the Bishops. They're a group of fun people that's for sure! I found myself laughing and smiling a lot at their antics throughout my read. Tempting the Cowboy is another small town romance from Kennedy Fox you won't be able to resist!

5⭐️ brb with my full review

OK, I'm back. I really really loved Kane and Ivy. This was a fun, easy, and spicy read and it did not disappoint. I loved Kane a lot in Claiming and that was child's play compared to him in this book because SWOON. He was really out here showing out and I was here for it.

I loved Ivy and Kane together and the age gap made me love it even more.

If you loved Kane in Claiming, he will steal your heart in this book. He is very attentive, caring, and v romantic. The perfect book boyfriend especially for our bookworm Ivy. I looooved Ivy and her love for reading. There is a part when Hads tells her to wait to come see Hendrix a little later when there's less people because she knows how Ivy doesn't like the big crowds and I was like wow...I feel seen. Because I feel that.

ANYWHOM, this was a fun read and the spice was on point. Def recommend

This was cute! Also learned a lot about soap making and horse stud farms, which was neat.

I discovered this book from Instagram, I saw a few spicy quotes so needed to read it. It certainly lived up to the spice, Kane had a couple kinks! This was the only book in the Circle B series I’ve read so that is 100% my fault for going out of order but I just felt like this required knowing the previous book. I did relate to Ivy’s bookworm personality though and was happy they got their HEA.

These two are adorable and share such an undeniable attraction! Kane is such a gentleman outside but with Ivy ;)
And Ivy represents all us hopelessly romantic bookworms. Their bond was honestly cute, hot and exciting alongside the age gap and the sister’s best friend trope. Also loved the Bishop family dynamic and am intrigued to read more of the series!

I’ve been eager to read Kane’s story since the last book with Knox and Kane both wanting Hadleigh. When this ARC landed on my kindle I couldn’t wait to dive right in for another adventure at the Bishop Ranch!

Kane is the more sensitive Bishop twin and I was cheering for him to be with someone who is as equally special as him. Since Ivy only previously appeared in the series as a young teen, I was a little concerned and shocked to learn of her being paired with Kane.

The age gap between these two characters and Kane’s past with her older sister/his best friend we’re pretty big obstacles, but knowing and trusting this author duo, I jumped into the story with an open mind and was quickly convinced these two characters truly were a great pairing.

Ivy is like many of us, a book nerd at heart who enjoys her book boyfriends and smutty storylines. She has some insecurities and has had things happen to her that make her a bit hesitant to open her heart and trust. She’s crushed on Kane for many years, and is determined to get to know him now that they share a nephew.

Their relationship is a bit of slow burn which is a little contrary to what readers would expect of a relationship with a Bishop, but for this pairing it lets Kane and Ivy really get to know each other and to form a strong bond before things got super physical. Given Ivy’s age, I think this was perfect to build her confidence and allow readers to see more of Kane’s gentle and romantic side to make this pairing just seem meant to be. Even though it is a slow burn and ‘meant to be’ it isn’t without some angst and drama.

I was entertained and captivated by this storyline, as well as a little on the edge of my seat waiting for their secret relationship to be discovered. I was expecting fireworks for sure.

I love the authors continue to include a large number of the Bishop family members in each new book in the series. These cameo appearances provide updates in their stories - we get a glimpse at the continuation of their love stories and see their babies arrive and grow up.

For me, this series is like visiting close friends and catching up with them, hearing their news and participating in their bikinis and mayhem. The pranks and antics are always crazy funny and liven up most Bishop parties.

I received a free ARC from the authors and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.
