Tempting the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox

The eighth book in the Circle B Ranch series finally gets to Kane’s story, which I was so thrilled to get my hands on. It focuses on his relationship with Ivy, his best friend/sister-in-law/former love interest Hadleigh’s younger sister. It’s a story of what happens when someone finally gets a chance with their long-time crush, and it absolutely does not disappoint!

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this book, and I’m so pleased with how Kane and Ivy’s story turned out. I love how hard sweet little bookworm Ivy crushed on Kane for years and how she finally catches his eye. She’s likeable and relatable in the sense that she’s got her insecurities and flaws, but then she’s got so much sass and personality, too. Her character was perfect for Kane, who I had a feeling would fall hard in love when he finally met the right woman. Having already known his character a bit from the previous books, I figured he would be as charming and affable as I already knew him to be, but I was not prepared for how much I adored his character. He’s spicy and sweet, but then he’s also so kind and compassionate and has an artistic flair, which I thought just added so much depth to Kane. Despite their age difference, Kane and Ivy work so well together, but their relationship isn’t without its issues at times. They’ve got a lot to deal with as far as their being together goes, and that added tension aided in making this story utterly addictive.

Then there’s the secondary cast of characters at the ranch, and they are simply so good! I enjoyed getting moments with everyone we’ve met before in the previous books, and their placement in the book pushed the narrative forward in a seamless way. My favorite out of all of them is Kaitlyn, though. She’s hysterical! I don’t think her character means to be so funny, but she just is and that makes her even better. Her and Payton’s book is next, and I’m beyond excited for it.

While this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone, but I think you’ll want to read the others because they’re all so well written and nobody writes cowboy romance the way Kennedy Fox do. Tempting the Cowboy is a definite must read for any romance book lover, and I cannot wait to see what happens with Kaitlyn and Payton.
