By: Kennedy Fox

Length: 11 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's Summary

Alex Bishop is your typical cowboy. Charming, sexy, and wears a panty-melting smirk. Working on the ranch helped build his solid eight-pack and smoking body. He's every girl's wet fantasy and he knows it too. Alex doesn't follow the rules of your typical playboy bachelor. After wining and dining his dates and giving them the best night of their lives, he always sends flowers and calls the next day - even if it's to say, let's just be friends. 

His mama taught him manners after all and his southern blood knows how to be a gentleman. Still, that isn't enough to tame the wildest of the Bishop brothers. River Lancaster has finally met the man of her dreams. Too bad after six months of romantic bliss, she finds out he's married. With a broken heart and blind rage, she books herself a ticket to Key West, Florida. Tired of cheaters and liars, she's set on escaping to forget he ever existed. Who needs a man when there's an all-you-can-drink margarita bar, anyway? 

That's what she tells herself until she bumps into the right guy who can make all those bad memories disappear. Even if it's only temporarily. Two weeks on the beach is what they both need. No strings attached, no expectations, no broken hearts. Too bad the universe has other plans - one that'll change the entire course of their lives in just nine short months.

5 Stealing His Heart Stars!!!

I had the pleasure of reading this book when it was released and LOVED it so much that I decided to listen to it when the audio was released. Ms. Peachwood and Mr. Snow NAILED the characters and brought an entirely new enjoyment to this book.

Well, they've done it again. This book is an outstanding start to a new series by the duo known as Kennedy Fox. And this time we get cowboys with tight jeans and oh my goodness I was captivated the moment I started this book.

It starts off with a Prologue that almost broke me. I wasn't expecting it that's for sure, and it totally sets the tone of who River is and the whys of how she lives her life. My heart literally hurt for her and I absolutely cried.

For all intents and purposes River and Alex should have never met, but when they both end up in Key West for two weeks of fun in the sun and hopefully some sexy times between the sheets, and while there's an initial attraction between them, she has no patience for Alex's cheesy pickup lines. But one day, when River comes to the aid of Alex and his best friend Dylan they just can't fight their crazy chemistry.

"Alex looks at me with so much fire in his eyes, it almost burns my skin."

And so begins two weeks of some of the best and sexiest weeks either of them have ever experienced. And what was supposed to be a friends with benefits kind of thing, real feelings begin to be felt. I could feel how our H/h felt for each other. They've both had such a rough go round in the romance arena so to find someone that they connected with on a visceral level was beautiful.

Fast forward a few months and River has come to Texas to see Alex and she's got a surprise for him! I absolutely LOVED how he didn't question her and how he was not afraid to admit his feelings this time. This book had so much levity while also being dirty and sexy at the same time. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't just them jumping back in bed together. I admired Alex so much more because he was willing to do whatever it takes to make this work.

Along the way we meet the entire Bishop family and all their dynamics. And when the Bishop boys are involved you know there's soon to be some raucous fun! The fact that this family opens their arms to River, after a rough start, made me fall in love with all the Bishops. It's clear who runs this family and it's not who you think it is!

In the end, this book is exactly what I was hoping it was going to be. Kennedy Fox knows how to deliver a book with a punch that drew me, had me simmering and then gave me all the emotions plus some.

My Two Pennies

Love a southern drawl and these narrators were spot on. Ride ‘em Cowboy! Alex is THE Bishop man that has won my heart. River’s story breaks my heart but she is so strong and I love the career she chose in life. When a vacation turns into so much more I am wishing to have experiences like that and that bucket list... hello! I was in tears at times both happy and sad. Getting to know the whole Bishop family is great and seeing how close knit and loving they are is beautiful. I cannot wait to hear the rest of the boys stories the Doctor is in next and I’m curious to see what happens. This is my unbiased and voluntary review

All around GREAT

Loved this story. This book kept my interest from start to finish! Loved the narration also. Im from Louisiana so a lot of southern narration are over done with way too much country slang this was very well done.

Great start to this series

Taming Him is a sweet and SEXY cowboy romance. It all started with a tropical vacation and lots of no strings attached fun. Alex Bishop is quite the playboy, but he falls hard for River Lancaster.
I enjoyed listening to this one on audiobook with wonderful narration.
This book introduces all the Bishop brothers and I’m looking forward to reading more of their stories.
-4.5 Stars!-
