Catching the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox (Circle B Ranch #2)

 

❤❤❤❤❤

The Bishop family is one of my favorites! Catching the Cowboy is a slow burn, brother's best friend romance that'll run you through a gambit of emotions.

Rowan Bishop has had her share of bad luck with boyfriends, so when she moves back home, she isn't about to put up with any crap from the one guy who's tormented her for years, right along her brother.

Adam (Diesel) Hayes has only ever wanted one woman and Riley Bishop has repeatedly made it clear that his sister is off-limits. Just when he starts to get the one thing he's wanted in life, his world is flipped on it's axis when his past finally catches up with him.

Kennedy Fox brings us back to the amazing Circle B Ranch and the Bishop clan we all adore! With the perfect blend of family drama, witty humor and romance, you won't be able to put the book down until the end.

I listened to the audiobook and admittedly threw my earbud twice, but always came right back to the story (I have no patience for stubborn men, lol.) The last few chapters will have you immediately wanting to dive into Wrangling the Cowboy to see what happens with Maize and Gavin next.

Don't miss out on this wonderful addition to the series, as it brings back some of the Bishop characters that I can't get enough of!!!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Settling down and starting a family is something Diesel has considered, regardless of his one-night stand reputation. However, he just might be single forever since who he wants is off-limits -- his best friend's little sister.

He's been in love with her for years, but betraying his friendship could ruin everything.

Rowan Bishop is over men, especially after finding out her boyfriend cheated and left her heartbroken. After graduating from college, she's back home and has to face the one guy who purposely gets under her skin -- her older brother's best friend.

She hates that she's attracted to him, but she's willing to fight for who she wants.

Spending time together is a bad idea, but neither can deny the chemistry sizzling between them. Late night talks turn into spontaneous adventures and just when Rowan's willing to admit how she truly feels, Diesel's past catches up with him and ruins their picture-perfect romance.

One secret turns into another and before either can grasp their new reality, more truths unravel -- threatening to expose their forbidden relationship.

Penthouse Prince by Kendall Ryan

💛💛💛💛💛

A fast-paced second chance romance! Penthouse Prince is the perfect book to get you out of your reading slump. I adore a good single parent romance, especially one with minimal drama, so this was a pleasant surprise!

Corrigan is the one who put everything on the line when she fell for Lexington, only to have him run scared and never look back. While she's constructed walls around her heart to prevent future heartache, she can't resist the pull that's still there.

Let's be real for a moment though...two year old Grier is the star of the book and steals every scene she's in. I absolutely loved this story and it was a quick read that you can just dive into and forget your worries for a few hours.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Lexington Dane was my brother's best friend growing up.

We did everything together.

He taught me how to throw a punch, how to change a tire...and he taught me how to kiss. I fell hard and fast, and gave him all my firsts.

I promised I'd wait for him...

But I'm done waiting, because he went off to college and never came back. He took his fancy business degree and moved to New York City, where he promptly became a real estate mogul -- turning every penthouse and apartment project he touched into gold.

It's been ten years, and now he's back and needs a favor...someone to watch his little girl. That's right, the cocky penthouse prince and heartbreaker extraordinaire Lexington is back with an adorable two-year-old daughter. Guess who he wants to watch her?

I've never been able to say no to him. I might agree to be the nanny for his precious little angel, but there's no way in hell I'm falling for her hot-as-sin daddy.

😷 Quarantine
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

What do you do when the entire nation is on lockdown?

If you're an heiress to a billion-dollar fashion company, then you quarantine in a glamorous cabin and finish your final semester of NYU online. The best way to focus on her upcoming valedictorian honor is away from her family, classmates, and the paparazzi. Cameron St. James is ready to get out of the big city and head Upstate for seclusion, despite her parents' pleas to stay home.

What do you do when a pandemic is sweeping the world?

If you're barely making ends meet, then you isolate yourself in your best friend's mountain cabin with breathtaking views and no neighbors for miles. It's the perfect safe place away from three roommates who don't take the life-threatening epidemic seriously. Elijah Ross is ready to work remotely and focus on his next big promotion, assuming he'll still have a job after this.

What happens when things don't go as planned, and you're stuck with the one person you dislike the most?

You improvise and do whatever it takes to avoid each other, though it proves to be impossible. The cold evenings alone turn into movie and popcorn nights together by the fireplace. Days turn into weeks, and eventually, more than just a friendship blossoms. As the unknown haunts them, they lean on one another for comfort -- until someone pops their safety bubble and threatens everything.

Sugarcoated by Erin Nicholas (Hot Cakes #1)

🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥

Sugarcoated will have you craving cake pops for days! After reading Zoe and Aiden's story I'll never be able to look at frosting quite the same way again, in the best way possible, and I'm more than okay with that.

I don't even know where to begin with this book...I loved it SO much that I couldn't put it down. Erin set up the characters perfectly to amp readers up for rest of the Hot Cakes series, and you'll find yourself falling for the other characters as well.

The rivalry between the local bakery, Buttered Up, and the factory in town, Hot Cakes, will have you cheering for both sides, all while craving a Little Debbie treat, lol.

The best part is the chemistry between Zoe and Aiden that burns so hot it rivals any kitchen fire. This was a slow burn, brothers best friend romance at it's best and one you should immediately add to your collection!

😄 Comedy
💋 Romance

Summary:

A hot, funny brother's best friend rom com...with sugar on top!

She's his best friend's little sister. He's known her all his life. He's practically part of the family. There is nothing either of them could do to surprise the other at this point.

Then she showed up in his bedroom in lingerie and asked him to take her v-card.

Okay, that was a surprise.

Aiden is pretty sure Zoe was equally surprised when he told her no.

To say that he didn't handle it well would be a massive understatement. Almost as massive as the amount of work he's going to have to do now to convince her that he wants her. Forever.

Right after he tells her that he's bought the company that's her bakery's biggest competitor.

Maybe if he tells her he's in love with her first, that will help sugarcoat the whole we're-rivals-in-business-now thing.

So, first "I'm in love with you", then "take off your clothes", then "I'm now your business adversary."

Piece of cake.

Lines We Cross by Marika Ray (Nickel Bay Brothers #1)

💜💜💜💜💜

Lines We Cross is a home run in my heart! This brother's best friend romance has ALL the feels in it. Be prepared to laugh, cry and have your cheeks be sore days later from smiling so much.

Skylar Rae is surprised when the one person from her childhood she wants nothing to do with, shows up at her rehabilitation center asking for help.

Max promised his best friend that he wouldn't ask out Skylar Rae, but now that they're older and wiser, it might be time to put the past behind them and take a chance.

I loved watching the characters develop throughout the story, especially when their past isn't what it seems. A beautifully woven tale of love and loss, you can't help but lose your heart to this story.

 💧 Drama
💋 Romance

Summary:

Small towns were made for second chances...even if it's your best friend's sister.

Skylar Rae
I'm getting by just fine on my own when the boy who stole my heart and ran away twelve years ago shows up in town again. He's a big shot baseball player now, needing my help to rehab his knee. If he'd just lay off the flirting and the dimples he throws with each grin, I might be able to do my job. Good thing I'm not dumb enough to fall for him a second time.

Max
I promised my best friend I would never make a move on his little sister. I kept that promise - if you don't count that one kiss senior year - but now that we're adults and I'm moving back home, all bets are off. Skylar Rae isn't the same person I knew twelve years ago and neither am I. It'll take a lot more healing than I expected to see if she and I can cross that line again.

Doctor Dearest by R.S. Grey

🩺🩺🩺🩺🩺

Doctor Dearest is just what the doctor ordered! This was a fast-paced RomCom that will have you cheering and rooting for the underdog.

I love a really good, brother's best friend romance, especially when it seems as though the feeling aren't returned from one of the main characters. 

Natalie is a tough nut to crack, but she's determined to be the best at her job and not let anything get in here, especially not the dreamy doctor that everyone in the hospital drools over.

Connor has stood by the sidelines while Natalie worked under him at the hospital, but now she's his equal, and with her brother out of town for several weeks, he's determined to finally make his move while she's right under his nose.

This was a romantic, fast-paced read that is the perfect fix if you're in a reading funk. Fun and quirky characters that'll charm the pants of anyone. I always know I'm in for a treat when I start a new R.S. Grey book, and this one is at the top of my favorites list!

😂 Comedy
 💧 Drama
🔥 Steamy Romance

Summary:

Natalie

Dr. Easton is part man, part myth.
He's a formidable surgeon. Highly respected in his field.
He also happens to be an ex-collegiate quarterback with a classically handsome face.
Are you catching on yet?
He's horrible.
Beautiful.
A walking Ralph Lauren ad.
He's also so off limits he should come with a warning label: This way lies heartache.

Not only is he an attending at the hospital where I'm training, he's also my brother's best friend. If you've lost count, that's two reasons why I plan on putting this ridiculous crush behind me. Besides, it's definitely not mutual.

Dr. Easton has never once paid me special attention. No tempting smirks. Not even one subtle innuendo. To him, I'm just another resident -- all but invisible.

Connor

For the last five years, I've mentored Natalie in the OR, stayed in line, and kept my hands to myself, but it's been agonizing.

Natalie in trouble in scrubs. A walking temptation I've been forced to ignore.

For so long, I've wanted her in silence. By the time fate finally gets around to throwing me a bone, my patience has run out.

Natalie's brother is leaving town, and he wants me to watch over her while he's gone.

He has no idea how I feel about her.
Neither does she.
But she will.

Haven't you heard good things come to those who wait, Natalie?
Well...I've done my waiting.
