Seducing the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch, Book 9

De: Kennedy Fox

Narrado por: Lia Langola, Tor Thom

After leaving his hometown seven years ago, Payton hasn’t returned. One heartbreak was enough to turn him off relationships forever. As soon as he arrived at the Circle B Ranch, they treated him like family—something he’s never had—and he met the one woman he shouldn’t want.

He’s put her in the friend zone, but after agreeing to her proposition, he can’t hold back anymore.

Kaitlyn Bishop is the only woman on the ranch without a husband and kids. A family is all she’s ever wanted, but it’s never been in her cards. Since she’s turned 30, she’s decided to go to the sperm bank, but then her best friend offers to knock her up.

She knows being friends with benefits is a bad idea, but she’s willing to take the risk.

Their agreement is purely transactional, but they’ll soon find themselves in too deep—something they’re too stubborn to admit. However, they only have nine months to figure it out.

Seducing the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be enjoyed without listening to any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to listen in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.

Love!

Simply amazing I am obsessed with all of Kennedy fox’s books! I’m dying to know if there will be a series about all the new kids that came into the family !

I LOVED this, Payton was Kaitlyn's perfect match!

As much as I hate to see this series end, this book was a great ending. I really enjoyed Kaitlyn and Payton's banter and connection. The steam like all Kennedy Fox books was on point.

Great series ending!

If this series had to come to an end, Kennedy Fox saved the best Bishop for last. Kaitlyn Bishop, youngest child and only daughter of Alex and Keira and sister to twins Knox and Kane. She's as single as a pringle at 30. Every single Bishop cousin and her twin brothers were hitched for life and having families to continue the bloodline except for her. She's independent, runs her own horse training business, and longs for a family of her own. She's feisty and opinionated and tells the truth always, sometimes to raw and real for anyone's taste. Payton Winters came to town for a job on the Bishop ranch. from the first moment they met, Payton and Kaitlyn friends. Best friends. Friends who never crossed the line. They would do anything for each other, even give the other the one thing they want most in the world. They're friends with benefits and roommates. That's it. No catching feelings. Yeah right.

Kaitlyn and Payton's story has many laugh out loud moments, not to mention the rest of the Bishops who have their own brand of comedic acts done on purpose or by accident. The emotional pain Kaitlyn felt month after month and upon hearing her siblings' good news was realistic and raw. Everyone else's good news was a wound that became bigger. Payton was the rock she needed to not only help her through her feelings of despair, but also share in the disappointment that they didn't have the same. She and Payton fit together like two pieces in a puzzle that adjoin to make the whole picture. Throughout the book, the two get to know each other even more...all the good, bad, and ugly... and they still catch those feelings! I'm sad to see this series end but happy that Kaitlyn and Payton's story brought it to a close. Bittersweet ending to a great series of books!

Lia Langola and Tor Thom brought the characters to life. Kaitlyn's sassiness and bubbly personality came shining through with Lia's voice. Lia also gave Kaitlyn difficult moments the emotions that Kaitlyn was feeling. Payton's quiet, friendly personality was wholly embodied by Tor's voice. Tor and Lia are talented narrators!

I received an advance copy of the e-book and a complimentary copy of the audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Amazing way to wrap the series

This is the final book in the Circle B Ranch series and it's the perfect way to say goodbye to the second generation of the Bishop Family and there is even a hook into the 3rd generation which I am very excited about.

In this installment we have Payton and Kaitlyn. Payton is a ranch hand who was burned in the past by a failed relationship with a coworker. So Kaitlyn has been off limits romantically since he met her, but that hasn't stopped an epic friendship to build between them. So much so that everyone in the family thinks they're destined for each other.

Kaitlyn is out of prospects in the love department and fed up with being the only single member of the family. She loves her life on the ranch, her friends and family, but she's missing that one little bundle that will make everything perfect.

When her best friend offers a no-strings deal to make and co-parent as friends a baby they both want, it seems like the perfect arrangement. No one is going to break the rules and catch feelings... right? What kind of book do you think this is? Of course emotions will get involved and secrets will come to light and in the end we will get a happily ever after... we just have to see how long it takes our couple to see the light.

The audio was performed by Tor Thom and Lia Langola. Tor was the perfect dirty talking "let me put a baby in you" up for anything hero. I have loved Lia's performances through this whole series and her emotional journey for Kaitlyn on her trying to conceive adventure was perfect. The cautious optimism, the emotional let down for monthly negatives, the bittersweet battle when someone close to you is announcing but you're still empty... all those moments were both written and performed so genuinely.

I requested and was provided with a copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.

OMG!!!!

Kennedy Fox has once again done an amazing job with this story. Tor Thom and Lia Langola did an awesome job bringing the characters to life. I must say that I CANNOT wait for the next generation. I highly recommend this series, you won't be disappointed

Loved this one!

I absolutely loved this story! It was so adorable and cute while also being nice and hot. I loved Payton and Kate together. They were just so adorable and fit each other so well that you were just wanting them to both take that step and open up or give a better hint to the other one so they knew that it wasn't one sided with no option of being reciprocated. I loved how Payton was so devoted to Kate in whatever capacity he could get her. It worked because Kate didn't take him for granted or not show the same care. This story has plenty to pull you in and hold your attention from beginning to end. I loved the banter in this story with both Kate and Payton but the teasing and banter that comes with all the Bishops. It definitely adds to some fun times. This story was so fun and while I'm sad to see this generation be finished I absolutely loved this and am super excited for the next generation of books to come!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

next book

when is Zack book coming out. I can't wait the next series will be just as good I hope

Really enjoyed this friends to lovers

Payton came to the ranch years ago after his abusive stepfather kicked him out of the house and his girlfriend cheated on him. Their he runs into Kaitlyn and the two end up with a great friendship. Kaitlyn has reached the point in life that she feels if she isn’t going to get married she still wants to have a baby. She drunkenly asks Payton. He turns her down. When he sees that she has plans to find a donor he has a change of mind. These two have fantastic chemistry. I loved going on this journey with them. Great read as always.

Ending the series with a bang!

Can I just say that there is just something about this one that was absolute perfection to finish off the second generation of Bishops? My heart sang as I listened this book. Kaitlyn and Payton were everything and more together. Aside from being best friends, their connection is intense and it is the classic they care for one another more than just friends but are scared to say something. But when the baby making proposal is brought up, all bets are off. These two are pure fire. Their wit and banter made me laugh at times. I loved how Payton kept up Kaitlyn’s spirits too. Then you have the antics of the whole Bishop clan which adds so much depth to the story. The narrators give such life to these books and while they have narrated the whole series, I could not imagine anyone but Langola and Thom breathing life into this story by way of audio.
Not gonna lie, I bawled at the end of this book. When you get to it, you will know but mine is for more than one reason. But I won’t say why due to it being a big spoiler. Kennedy Fox delivers on a sizzling swoon worthy story yet again and I am dying to get my hands on the third generation though, in some ways, it won’t be the same. Seeing this family grow has been something special!

Sweet ending to this series!

I love this sweet ending to the series, and I just LOVE Payton. He is such a good, kind man, and his story at the beginning really showed his loneliness but determination to have a good life. He comes to the Bishop ranch and have worked there for years, is best friends with Katelyn, and has dreams of opening a horse rescue. This man is the definition of a good man.

Katelyn is the last of the Bishops to get married, and she's a little jealous seeing everyone paired up and have babies of their own. When she's desperate, she turns to buying sperm online to impregnate herself. But before she can actually do that, she proposition Payton, and they full on decide to create a little family of their own.

While I loved Payton, there were some instances where I felt Kaitlyn was a little too self involved for me. All she cared about was getting pregnant, when I really think she could've spent that time wooing Payton and getting them both to admit their feelings for each other. It was still a HEA and I was so satisfied they both got what they needed and wanted in the end.

The audio was of course, fantastic as usual. Lia Langola and Tor Thom narrated this entire series and it was phenomenal. Cannot recommend the audio highly enough!
