Finally Ethan and Harper get it together!!!! These two childhood best friends were ridiculously oblivious to the other’s feelings until they “pretended” to be in a relationship. Everyone can see how these two felt for each other except them lol. They danced around it so much but then things happened and things changed. When they crossed that line it wasn’t as easy and their argument and back and forth was hot lol. They finally got it together and the chemistry of course was off the chains. Their love story was incredible and the added banter of his relatives was hilarious.

Every single book in the Circle B Ranch Series is always highly anticipated by me. Needless to say I was ecstatic when Kissing the Cowboy landed on my kindle. We hadn’t seen a lot of Ethan Bishop in the previous novels, but friends to lovers romances always gets to me. Add the fake relationship trope and I was in heaven. Kennedy Fox delivered one again a beautiful slow burn romance filled with their trademark humor, sweetness and sensuality!

I was hooked from the first few pages, even if the progression of Ethan and Harper’s romantic relationship was really slow. I truly loved how their friendship was so powerful. In their every single action, it was clear the deep feelings that had for each other. Scared to lose this powerful bond between them, they both needed a little push to finally unveil what their hearts truly desired. When they entered this fake relationship, it was game over, sparks flying and true passion exploding.

Ethan was such a sweetheart! A tempting cowboy wholly devoted to his long-time friend, but also such a good brother. His heart was pure and he easily had me under his charm. Harper was also an interesting heroine. A dedicated and hard-working small business owner.

I devoured this novel in one sitting and went to bed so late! I couldn’t let go of this lovely couple! The different members of the Bishop family and friends brought smiles to my face and made me crack up. I appreciate how they’re always teasing each other. It’s clear this family is tight and loving. Kissing the Cowboy left me entirely enamored! I’m so enthusiast about the next novel in the series. Kenzie and Grayson’s enemies to lovers romance will assuredly be a high entertainment.

Another 5-star book from Kennedy Fox! I just love all of the cowboys on the Circle B Ranch. Ethan and Harper are so much fun to read. Makes you want to move on down to Texas and become besties with them.

This was fine, had some nice moments. My main takeaway from this story though is that the authors think that soap making is a much more inspirational and individualized job than it really is. The book goes on and on about a woman stealing the main character's ideas evilly, but those ideas are making lemonade and snow cone scented soaps during summer time??? Not exactly inspired thinking needed for that one. It's something small that got so much focus and was a major motivation for some of the story beats, and it is just such an odd vibe.

✨ 3.5 Stars

I'm a huge fan of country romances, friends to lovers, second generation series, and Kennedy Fox—so mashing them all together made this an easy pick up and read book for me!

Harper and Ethan's story is lighthearted, sweet and an instant feel good story. Their friendship is beautiful and their love for one another truly shone through. The fake engagement definitely added some fun, and I'm glad there wasn't the usual drama of it coming out to the enemy. I really liked these two characters and their story was perfect for them.

I decided on 3.5 stars, because although this was an enjoyable read there wasn't anything about it that made it a standout book for me. It was far from bad, but it also had nothing that differentiated it from other books in these tropes. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it for anyone looking for a quick and sweet read.

this was supposed to be 4.5 stars, but I HAD to take off one star for saying Johnny Depp is ageing like fine wine. He looks like a walking corpse please be serious.

Ethan and Harper have a beautiful love story as they go from best friends to fake fiancees to real fiancees! This was a little different to the other books in the Bishop Brothers' Universe but was equally intriguing. Would definitely recommend it!

Another awesome read in the series! I love the Bishop family and totally enjoy watching them fall in love. Best friends to fake fiancé and then back to friends was sure to spark their hidden feelings for each other, and not did they ignite when their inhibitions were lowered with shots.

These two have been hiding their feelings for each other for years as they spent so much time together as best friends. They have such a strong foundation it made their relationship even stronger and more passionate.

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