These two were great from beginning to end. Kaitlyn non filter was hilarious. Her and Payton were the only ones oblivious to what everyone else knew about them. It was only a matter of time before they got together. Kaitlyn was always vocal of wanting a baby no matter what route she needed to take. Payton being her best friend would do anything to help her. This is when the adventure begins. It was such a good read seeing them trying to have a baby while at the same time growing closer than ever. And her family running bets was funny. This was a great story no drama no secondary characters trying to ruin anything it was just good. Loved the epilogue and the bonus epilogue!!

I have a lot of catching up to do! This is my first read in the Circle B Ranch series, and is apparently the last book. I absolutely loved it. It was perfect as a standalone read, but I can see that it would be even better knowing the other characters and their stories, as this family is fabulous. Kaitlyn and Payton were gorgeous - best friends, but their chemistry was off the charts, and the steam they created was delicious. The authors wrote a rich tapestry of everyday life on the ranch, and perfectly captured the dreams, yearnings and frustrations of the main characters, and ultimately their beautiful and joyous HEA.

⭐️ 4.5 "Baby Fever" Stars ⭐️
It's always a pleasure to read about the Bishop family and Seducing the Cowboy was surely one of my favorite books in the Circle B Ranch Series! It was filled with playful, emotional and passionate moments that I treasured.

This story was about Kaitlyn, the baby of the Bishop family, and let me tell you that this woman is something. She reminded me so much of her father, Jackson! Always cracking a joke and no filter. She owns he actions and words and is so funny. I absolutely loved her personality. I felt Payton completed her so well. The guy is more of an introvert and really a good guy. There's nothing he wouldn't do for his best friend, the woman he's secretly in love with, therefore he embarks on this crazy journey of getting her pregnant.

Their friendship was beautiful and it was quite apparent from the start that deeper feelings were involved. When they started trying to make a baby, the intense chemistry between them was just wow! The sexy moments were truly hot, but with touches of sweet and tender too. Seriously, Kaitlyn and Payton were gorgeous.

This book wouldn't be the same without all the other Bishop family members! All the love and teasing between them made Seducing the Cowboy utterly enjoyable! The only little downside, and the reason I didn't rate it five stars, is the flow of the story from chapter to chapter in the second half of the book that rushed the book to conclusion.

It was bittersweet knowing this novel is the last in the Circle B Ranch Series. But the good news is that next year Kennedy Fox will release a new series about the third generation of Bishops, Texas Heat Series. Yay!!!

What a perfect book to end this series! I love how Kaitlyn and Payton were friends from the beginning. Them falling in love that hard way was amazing. They took the long way around things by being the baby daddy and baby momma, but we all knew they would fall madly and deeply!

Listen….I loved looooooved Kane and I thought yup, he’s the one. That’s my fave. But I would be lying if I said that I didn’t love Payton just as much.

I just couldn’t help but want to give him the biggest hug in the prologue and then I loved him meeting Kaitlyn. And I just knew I was going to love these two.

Friends to lovers and pregnancy trope? Sign me up.

Fave line:
“Hopefully, our daughter gets my sense of humor.”

“If she’s anything like you, she already has me wrapped around her finger.”

“Like a true Bishop.”

The ending was so beautiful and just revisiting this family again was my favorite. I absolutely loved it.

The Circle B Ranch series has been a fantastic series and this final book definitely lives up to the high bar set by the previous books!

Kaitlyn Bishop has been one feisty firecracker throughout the series and she been one of my favorite side characters for several books. I’ve been eagerly awaiting her story and chance at a HEA!

Kaitlyn is emotionally frustrated at being the last single Bishop cousin with no romantic prospects in sight. She so badly wants to be a mother, and she sees her chance getting unlikelier as she gets older.

I love how once a Bishop gets an idea in their head they are determined to make it happen. Kaitlyn is determined to become a mother and she has a unconventional new Plan A solution - using donor sperm. Payton is disturbed by the idea of her getting pregnant by some other guy and he decides to ask her if she was really serious about what she said at the reception weeks prior.

Trying to get pregnant with their best friend while keeping to rules to allow them to return to a just friends status to co-parent is a challenging thin line to navigate. I love how the alternating POV from Payton and Kaitlyn help reveal their inner thoughts and emotions, how they react to the various Bishop family member’s comments. The Bishop family does nosy better than almost any other family. This book has many of the Bishops involved which add to the story and update us on the growth of their families.

The laughter, hi-jinx and emotions of a Circle B Ranch book are all present an accounted for in Seducing the Cowboy. What happens when they get pregnant, is as much of question as what happens if they don’t succeed in getting pregnant?

This book has several epilogues which wrap up the series and serve as bridge to the first book in the next series about the third generation of Bishops.

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

Great series ending!

You get to catch up with everyone from the previous stories and see what finally happens with Kaitlin & Payton. They are so good together; it's surprising it took them this long to figure it out LOL.

Looking forward to the next generation!

Yee-haw! Kennedy Fox absolutely nailed this one. Payton finally gets his girl. And Kaitlyn finally gets her dream.

If you are someone who likes to read the epilogue before you read the rest of the book, I beg you to avoid it this time. It will ruin the story for you.

These two have been dancing around each other forEVER. As best friends, I can understand their reluctance to go there but... *GAH! SCREAMS AND THROWS A TANTRUM, INTERNALLY* you can see how perfect together they would be.

Payton... sweet, reliable, flirty and sexy. Oh, and the dirty talking? Yes, please.
Kaitlyn. You can't help but love her. She knows what she wants and makes it happen. She is sassy, with a heart of gold and just a general bossbabe.

The banter between the family continued to crack me up. It is done in such a teasing yet loving way, so you can't help but love it. The shenanigans this family gets up to are hilarious. I almost wish this ranch was real so I could join in on all the festivities!

Ugh, the bonus epilogue had me close to tears. It was so sad, and yet, I am so excited for the next set of books.

This book was steamy, fun, and—just generally—a great read. But oh, so bittersweet seeing as it's the last one in the series.

4.5 stars

I was sad to hear that Kennedy Fox is going their separate ways because their original checkmate series is one of my favorites, something that really got me back into reading. The Circle B Ranch series is one of my favorites, from the original Bishop brothers to their kids, I loved every minute of this series. It definitely alluded to being a future story with the great grandkids with Zach, but after their announcement - I’m guessing that this will be their last story together. Kaitlyn was hilarious from the beginning of the series - I love that Jackson and Keira’s kids loved to give one another such a hard time, but you could tell they did it all out of love. They had to be trouble makers just like their dad, Kaitlyn really took no shit. While the spice in this was great, I just feel like it was really missing some it factor - there was no big conflict besides that they didn’t want to admit their feelings from each other. While I know Payton had trust issues with his abusive stepfather and his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him, I felt like those were just insecurities that he had that never really caused any problems or issues in their relationship. Even without the issues, I was glad that Kaitlyn got her happy ending and that all the Bishops ended up having a happy story. The epilogue at the end with Zach set it up perfectly for a future story but can also be closed. Overall this book was ok, spice was there but I definitely think the series had run its course.
