Blurb:
Working on the ranch and settling down is all Grayson’s ever wanted in life. When he meets the woman who could make that a reality, he learns she hates him with every fiber of her being.
He knows she’s being unreasonable since their bickering is the hottest foreplay he’s ever had.
Mackenzie Bishop’s an elementary school teacher and can tolerate a lot, until it comes to Grayson. He may act like he doesn’t remember what he did, but Kenzie will never forget. Not when the memory of that night still lingers in her mind years later.
She denies her attraction, but she can’t hide it forever, especially when there’s no escaping him.
Although she refuses to give him the time of day, they form a truce and everything changes—just not in the way he expected.
**Winning the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect. Suggested for mature readers only.**
These Bishops are going to be the death of me. Stubborn to the boot, but swoony as hell…. And I’m not just talking about the Bishop Boys. These Bishop women are giving those men a damn run for their money!!
In My Own Words:
Winning The Cowboy is the sixth book in the Circle B Ranch Series by Kennedy Fox. If you’re new to the Circle B Ranch series, Grayson and Mackenzie’s story can be read as a standalone. But let it be a warning, this series is highly addictive and you’re going to want to come back for me so leave room on your calendar for a Kennedy Fox binge!
Grayson Harding wants nothing in the world but to understand why Mackenzie Bishop loathes his very existence. Since the moment he met her it was an instant attraction for him, and sneering eyes set in his direction from her. He’ll do whatever it takes to break through her icy exterior. Even if that means completely humiliating himself.
Mackenzie Bishop thought she found her soulmate in the eyes of a stranger. But in the light of the morning, she was forced to realize you don’t find your soulmate in the middle of a bar.
Now, years later, Kenzie is determined to fight her heart’s greatest battle. She refuses to let Grayson Harding in and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep him out of her head and out of her heart. Even if it means up-scaling the level of humility to prove to everyone around her, she doesn’t have feelings for this man. But she’s about to learn, you can’t keep a secret for very long if you’re a Bishop.
My Thoughts:
HOLY SWOON!!! Kenzie and Grayson’s story is fueled with back and forth banter, endless pranks, and all the small town enemies to lovers vibes! I’ve been waiting for Grayson’s story and getting to the root cause of why Kenzie feels this unspeakable amount of hate towards the poor man. It has to be said, I loved the hell out of Mackenzie’s character! Her stubborn streak and inability to forgive and forget where the past is concerned. And I don’t blame her for not wanting to forget. Her side of the story is brutal and I’d hate Grayson too if I were put in her position.
Then we have Grayson, the man with the irresistible charm, a ranch hand’s body, and all the swoon to lock up a delicious package. He gave just as much as Mackenzie threw at him. The banter and anger induced prank war had me clutching my sides from laughing so damn hard. Kenzie even brought back some old school prank moves involving a bed, some rope, and an unsuspecting alcohol induced male ego. I think I died laughing!
I couldn’t have asked for a more relatable personality from both characters. Kenzie is stubborn as hell and refuses to let her guard down around Grayson, whereas Grayson is swoony and refuses to put a shield up around Mackenzie. The two are yin and yang. I knew the moment they finally came together, it would be an explosion… and I was right. Everything they went through was worth the moment they finally came together. PURE FIRE! These two were sexy as sin! I couldn’t get enough!
Now let’s discuss the main reason why I keep coming back for more Bishops! The strong family bond and the chemistry throughout this series was my greatest weakness. I love romances that incorporate not only those pesky meddling family members but also members of a family that have an unbreakable bond. The Bishop family bond has yet to be broken and I honestly don’t think there is anything that can get between these family members. It would take a catastrophic moment to put a wedge in there, and I’m hoping like hell we never see this family crumble. I can feel that bond growing stronger and stronger with every new member added to the family. It’s unreal the amount of charisma Kennedy Fox puts in their novels. I fall a little deeper every single time I pick up a novel from them.. I never felt the need to get in my truck and drive to a fictional world as much as I do now…
I love books that incorporate more than just romance and the Bishop world flawlessly brings everything I love about romance to life right before my eyes. If you haven’t had a chance to dive into the wonderful bishop world, you can start that world today with The Bishop Brother’s series! Trust me, you won’t be sorry!
Overall, Winning The Cowboy by Kennedy Fox was everything I expected it to be plus so much more. If you are a fan of swoony enemies to lovers romance with a second chance twist, don’t hesitate on picking up Grayson and Mackenzie’s story!! This one is a definite MUST READ!!
