Seducing the Cowboy

Circle B Ranch, Book 9

By: Kennedy Fox

Narrated by: Lia Langola, Tor Thom

Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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 !

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

Wonderful Story & Listen🎧 A Charming Seduction!

It is great to be back at Circle B Ranch for another fabulous cowboy and cowgirl romance novel and to spend some quality time with the Bishops. Each book in the series features different lead characters and stands on its own but I highly recommend all the books in the series and it is a treat to enjoy them in the order written because characters from previous books make appearances in each other’s books and seeing them again is like seeing an old friend. This book brings us Kaitlyn and Payton’s story and what a delightful story it is. Kaitlyn Bishop has training horses in her blood and she loves what she does and loves working on the ranch. Payton left a terrible home situation and came to work at Circle B ranch seven years ago and has never left. He and Kaitlyn hit is off right from the start, but she is the bosses’ daughter and niece, which makes her off limits since he does not want any issues at the workplace, but that did not stop them from becoming great friends. Kaitlyn is the last single lady at the ranch, that does not bother her though, but with everyone having babies she wants one herself and looks into options to have one of her own. When Payton finds out, he comes up with an idea, a friend with benefits arrangement, until she gets pregnant and then they could co-parent together. This is a brilliant arrangement and plan, except neither one is being honest about how they truly feel about the other. I loved these two together and for each other and watching them take their relationship to the next level was a joy to watch even though they tried to deny their true feelings, but you could only deny true love for so long. This beautifully written and plotted story is entertaining and has the perfect balance of drama, some charming and heart-warming moments, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Kennedy Fox, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am sad to see this is the end of this series, but with every ending there is a new beginning and I am looking forward to what comes next in this wonderful world you created.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Lia Langola and Tor Thom continue to their magic and deliver an outstanding performance while bringing these characters and their story to life. I love how they take each role, run with it and make their own, sounding believable and just as I picture the characters to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the character’s emotions and project them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Great Ending to the Series

Let me start by saying I am so sad this is the end of the series. And it was done really well!

Payton always had my interest, I have wanted his story for a long time... I knew he would end up with Kaitlyn. But I didn't have any idea how their story would go.

I really loved their story and the way it all comes together!

Payton is one of those men that you love and keep loving...
Kaitlyn is a stubborn Bishop! But you will love her too.


Now to wait for the next generation to come...

Unconventional relationship leading to more....

What a listen! This time around we have best friends Payton Jamison and Kaitlyn Bishop taking their relationship to a whole other level. Kaitlyn is the only Bishop left without a significant other and kids. Her desire to have children is running out of time and is determine to take alternate options in order to have the family she wants. Cue in the unexpected request from her best friend, Payton. Will friends with benefits be the answer to her plans? Rules must be set; however, is it worth the risk?

This was such a beautiful story that I could not help but adore. The growing chemistry becomes more but being afraid of the outcome of the other feelings is something they have to come to realization to soon especially when they have months to figure out what will happen for their future. This was the perfect read to end the series. I cannot wait to read what the next generation has in store for us.
