Knowing how much flack Adam gave Beau, this story should be interesting. Oh, I was right. Alyssa jumped over a cow to get to Rachel in her car. Oh goodness, Adam is a hoot as Rachel’s car is unloaded. What happens the day of the photo shoot? When Adam goes out for a ride before a conference call, something happens. Why does he get upset with Rachel and Alyssa? Who is Nate and why is he mentioned in this story? What is going on that they begin wondering if he is behind things? I think the best lines of the book come in the kitchen. “”No, but you can’t show mama, ’cause she’ll see the to-nado mess.” Tony drew pictures with his finger in the flour coating the counter.” I learned just how popular Alyssa is in this book as the wedding is planned. What happens when Rachel spies the drone with her camera? What do we learn? I laughed long and hard when things went to hades in a handbasket for the drone operator! Enjoy the read!

3 1/2*
Adam isn’t fully convinced of his brothers relationship with Alyssa but when her friend Rachel visits for her graduation and engagement he realises he may be wrong.
Rachel isn’t sure about Adam he seems so serious but is she reading him wrong? A little rushed at the end but another lovely story.
Cute story.
This is the second book in this series. Just like book one, this was a steady paced book. The author does a great job with word building, scene setting, etc. I had a great picture in my mind of the ranch, mountains; all of it.
I enjoyed this book almost as much as the first, however the ending was not what I was anticipating; it was abrupt and lacked the grand gesture I assumed would be coming. I really expected more and when that ending came, I was disappointed. Other than those last few pages, I enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read the next brother’s story. The characters in these books are endearing and you just can’t help wanting to make sure they have their happy endings.
Rachel is visiting the ranch to help her best friend Alyssa plan her up coming wedding to Beau. In addition, Rachel will be photographing just about everything. Since she will be staying at the ranch for three months, she has plenty of time to take all the photos she wants. And there is also plenty of time to fall for the oldest Kipling brother, Adam. Adam was portrayed as a stick-in-the-mud, by -the-book type of guy. Despite being gorgeous, well-built and his smile could bring any woman to her knees, Adam’s attitude was not attractive. There were several moments where Rachel had to put him in his place. I enjoyed those moments very much.
I don’t want to go into any details because once Adam decides he can’t fight his attraction to Rachel any longer, things progress quickly, get a bit angsty, and then resolve quickly.
Do I recommend this book? I do. I especially recommend it to those that love cowboy romances. Taming Adam was a sweet story with very little in the way of angst or suspense. There were a few issues of suspense but they were resolved without drama. All in all, a cute story.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂
This is the second book in this series and is Rachel and Adam’s story. This is a well written story which is realistic, fun, entertaining, emotional, humorous, and will a tad mystery. I look forward to reading more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
I freely admit that I have a soft spot for an age gap romance and for gatekeeper characters and this book checked both those boxes for me. Adam was gruff, older, responsible and honorable. I loved how he was so firm in his beliefs and with who he thought he was, at least until Rachel comes along. Rachel was younger but she was confident, sassy, strong and able to go toe-to-toe with Adam. Of coarse there is plenty of emotional turmoil and tension as you watch their unexpected attraction blossoms into a deep, lasting love.
