Publisher's Summary

Bull riding is all Gavin’s known for years, but when it’s time to retire, he can’t let go of the reckless lifestyle. He finds a job that brings him to a small-town Texas ranch and face-to-face with the woman who snuck out after their one-night stand.

She can pretend she’s over him, but he’s not letting her go that easily.

Maize Bishop spends her days cooking and baking for her family’s bed and breakfast. The last thing she has time for is a relationship, especially when there are no single men within a hundred-mile radius. When a mysterious newcomer flirts with her over drinks, she gives in to his mesmerizing green eyes and goes home with him.

Now that he works for her family’s ranch, she’ll avoid him at all costs.

There are only so many places to hide, and keeping her distance is easier said than done. After months of giving her space, Gavin’s tired of waiting for Maize to admit what he knows they both want - a second round between the sheets. It may only take eight seconds to win a championship, but he’ll prove to her that he can go all night long.

She’s too young, he’s too arrogant, and together, they’re electric - the perfect recipe for disaster.

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

Wrangling The Cowboy!

Wrangling the Cowboy is a fun age-gap cowboy romance. Gavin a retired bull rider takes a job at Circle B Ranch training horses not knowing his one night stand Maize is a cook at the local B&B. Maize is shocked to see Gavin again, she avoids him wherever possible and pretends that they never hooked up.

I wasn’t a fan of Maize’s character she seemed quite snippy and immature. I loved it when the tables were turned and she had to chase Gavin but then she was only good to him for four days before having a tantrum that he hadn’t given her what she wanted. I loved Gavin’s character he definitely deserved a medal for hanging in there with maize for so long.

Stephen Dexter’s narration was amazing, he really makes this series.

Outstanding Story & Narration🎧 Loved->Maize💘Gavin❣

I am loving this series and its characters. I’ve been looking forward to Maize and Gavin’s story since meeting them in “Catching the Cowboy”, Adam and Rowan’s story. After their encounter I had a felling their story was going to be an awesome one and Kennedy Fox did not disappoint one bit. Their story drew me in right from the start and captivated my attention the entire time. Maize Bishop, 25 years old and single, she runs the kitchen in the family’s bed and breakfast, feeding guests and the ranch hands. She works hard and her goes is to have her own catering company. She has not had time to date and after a relationship gone bad with one of the ranch hands she refuses to get involved with anyone who works at the family ranch. One night while out partying she meets a gorgeous guy who is passing thru town, she does something out of the ordinary for her, she has an extremely hot one night stand. Having to go to work she leaves before he gets up, no numbers exchanged no expectations. So when it turns out he is the new worker on the ranch she thinks it is best to ignore him and act like they never met. OMG, swoon worthy Gavin, I loved his patience and how he never gave up on Maize. Well for the record, he is a champion bull rider and trains horses, training even the most stubborn fo them so he figured he’d break thru Maize’s walls eventually and have some fun while doing so. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted with plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some great light-hearted humor and family shenanigans, lots of heartfelt and emotional moments and some hot romance. Kennedy Fox, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride, I loved every minute of it!

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Lia Langola and Stephen Dexter are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They are awesome at portraying these characters, humanizing them as they bring them and their story to life. I love how natural they sound as they perform the characters voices, they take each of the roles and make it their own. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

Loved it

Gavin and Maize were fantastic. I have loved all the books so far in this series. Gavin is a retired rodeo rider and Maize works at her families B&B. After a one night stand she sneaks out and Gavin gives chase. As he tried to convince her he is the one for her the tables seem to turn and she will have to win him. Loved the pull and chemistry of these characters and I love going back to the Circle B Ranch. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️star listen. The narrators were great as well.

Every story sucks you in

My first tip as always is if you haven’t read the first stories start with those you could read this as a stand alone but it’s just so much better when you already know all the other characters. You won’t regret it! This story is a perfect mixture of lust and love and the characters make you root for them from the beginning. I can’t wait to see where the story goes because as always the ending opens up a new story line for another couple and I love that!

Great Audio

I love listening to Stephen and Lia do audio especially for this series! Their voices just fit so well with the characters! Definitely check out this audio especially if you have listened to the others as well. Maize and Gavin’s story is so great and they have so much love for one another! I love when authors pick out great narrators and Kennedy Fox hit the jackpot here!

Loved it

Gavin is an ex rodeo rider who now has a job on the same farm that his one night stands family owns.
Maize does not have the time for a relationship, her life is too busy, cooking and baking for the family’s bed and breakfast. So she is doing everything she can to avoid Gavin. But there is so only so many places you can hide, lol

This series is so freaking good, it is something I listen to when i’m in the mood for a laughing out loud romance that you get sucked in from the start to finish. And Gavin and Maize was so fun to read. Their chemistry was totally off the charts hot. I want to be adopted by this family, lol.

And man the narration just made it even more awesome for me. I am loving Stephen Dexter’s voice ♥ It took me a minute to get use to Lia Longola’s voice but I don’t think I can picture any other two narrators reading this series 😊

Gavin and Maize!!!

I had already read the book when it came out so I already love Gavin and Maize's story but the audio makes it so much better because you can hear the passion that Gavin has for Maize or the was Maize uses her sarcasm toward Gavin when he does something that irritates her to no limit. Gavin and Maize may have an age gap between them but their love is amazing. I love how in the beginning Maize doesn't give Gavin the time of day but as the story progresses he wears her down and makes her see that he is the right man for her no matter what happens with everything else around them. Gavin proves to Maize that all he wants to do is love her and no one else.

The mature cowboy woos and wins his woman

After reading about Maize and Gavin in the teaser at the end of book 2, I knew I liked these two characters. Wrangling the Cowboy did not disappoint! Turns out Gavin was a sweetie, even I thought he'd be more of a gruff, Alpha type. He's definitely a confident guy, but his playing around days are over. He comes to the ranch to train horses and meets his one night stand who ran out on him the month before. He's handsome (of course!) and a champion rodeo star, now retired and looking to settle down now that he's 35. Maize is a successful chef and is 10 years younger. In her personal life she is a dating novice. She started to become slightly annoying in how immature she acts, things that could have been sorted out with a conversation dragged on. But, somehow Kennedy Fox redeems Maize before I got completely irritated! (😁) Gavin tells her to make decisions like a grown up before their romance could continue (after two false starts, totally Maize's fault). Hot sex was not a problem, (whew, they certainly have chemistry)! I loved how Gavin was true blue and completely head over heals and patiently woos Maize until she realizes love is worth any gamble. They had great banter and were surrounded by supporting and loving friends and family. Can't wait for Connor and El's story next!!!

Small-town romance at it's best!

Wrangling the Cowboy makes me wish I worked on a ranch, or at least lived next door to one, so I could ask for some sugar. *Wink, wink* Kennedy Fox always knows how to rope me in to their cowboy romances, pun intended. With secondary characters that you'll fall for just as much as the main ones, you'll be left counting down the days until the next book in the Circle B Ranch series releases! The audiobook brings the characters to life with the wonderful narration, don't miss the chance to swoon over Maize and Gavin in this thrilling addition to the series.

Fantastic

I'm rarely if ever disappointed with a Kennedy Fox book. I've now read every book in this Circle B Ranch series and each one has left me with the happiest of happy feelings. I don't know if it's the cowboys, the family setting or the glorious writing but every time a KF book from the Bishop's arrives in my kindle I smile from page 1 'till the epilogue and this is no different. I remember Maize's beginning in her parents story (Chasing Him Bishop Brothers #3) so to see her grown up is a treat. She's stubborn as heck and the push and pull between her and Gavin was everything. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series and honestly hope I never come to the day I wont visit the Bishops. Add to this the stunning narration from the Queen of KF, Lia Langola and a personal favourite Stephen Dexter and I couldn't possibly rate this less than 5 stars. I volunteered to leave an unbiased review. All opinions herein are my own.

cowboys are my weakness

Loved this. Maize and Gavin were great together- loved their chemistry. I'm not a fan of age-gap romances but this one didn't seem to bother me. The story was low angst and filled with laughs. Listened to it in one sitting.

Narration was fabulous - Stephen Dexter as an ex-bull riding cowboy, yes, please. Lia Langola - an amazing narrator - they make a great pair.

Maize and Gavin!

The time has come for Gavin to leave his rodeo career and the lifestyle that goes along with it in the past. He has come to town to pursue an opportunity at the Bishop ranch, but Maize was a surprise he wasn’t expecting.

Maize isn’t looking for love or a relationship especially with a cowboy. When she meets Gavin the sparks fly into a night neither of them will ever forget however she had no intention of ever seeing him again so finding out he is now working on the family ranch was a revelation she could have done without.

Maize was determined that one night was all they had but Gavin was just as determined that one night was not enough. Let the battle begin!

The perseverance that Gavin showed as he tried to prove to Maize that he wasn’t only there for a good time but a long time was inspiring to watch and although she was reluctant fighting the chemistry and feelings between them was a fight she wasn’t going to win. The narrators were a perfect choice for the characters as they brought out the heat and humor of the story.

Gavin and Maize are all kinds of amazing

Lia and Stephen have done it again!
The way they narrate these books is just magical, they manage to transport me to Texas EVERY TIME.
Gavin and Maize's story is one of sweetness, stubbornness and steam.
I absolutely adore this series and am looking forward to the next book.
