From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Landish comes a hard-riding romance of cowboys who run wild—and the women who tame them… summer off working his family’s ranch. That is, until a spirited and gorgeous veterinarian-in-training shows up and puts the cocky wild boy—and his ego—in place. Though she’s a feisty one, James is always up for a challenge.
Sophie Stone has to admit it: James Bennett is a checklist of cowboy hotness—ruggedly handsome with piercing blue eyes, a hard-muscled body, and just enough swagger to make her toes curl. She thought she was done with her bad-boy phase, but exceptions must be made.
How can Sophie possibly say no to a man who makes her heart buck like a bronco? And when their summer fling comes to an end, how can she possibly say goodbye?

If you love a sexy cowboy then you will love James. James loves the rodeo and his family and when his dad passed he knew he had to come home. Never did he think he would meet a feisty veterinarian in training. Sophie & James was only suppose to be a summer fling but you know how it goes. Both weren’t looking for love but the heart wants what the heart wants. Great story with great characters that had me hooked from the start.
Love the Bennett Boys Ranch series!
I have to admit this is the first read/listen from this author but definitely not the last! James Bennett is a pro bull rider and is home after his father’s untimely death and helping his brothers around the ranch before he has to go back on the circuit. Sophie Stone is working with the local vet as an intern and heading to medical school in the fall to become a vet and she is one tough cookie all wrapped up in a petite and feisty and very intelligent woman. The first time at the ranch she not only handles the dangerous birth of a colt but puts James in his place and now she has to go back daily to care for mama and baby. James and Sophie quickly learn there is chemistry underlying all that heat and nothing can keep them apart. This was one hot and steamy ride and I was caught up in it and enjoyed every minute.
What do you get when you mix a sexy bull riding cowboy and a sassy city girl turned country vet? A steamy hot summer love romance! Lauren writes real life characters, people you could meet walking down small town USA streets. I loved the authenticity of the ranch life. James was a cowboy through and through, coming home to the family ranch after his father’s passing. Sophie was a city girl who went off to college and found a love of Veterinarian medicine and got an internship in a small town over summer. Que the sparks, the banter, and sweet country love! this book was a great quick read and I can’t wait to read the other books in the Bennett Boys Ranch Series.
Great characters. Extra steamy love scenes.
3 stars. Audio borrowed via KU.
This was just OK. James & Sophie meet while she’s interning with a local vet. James is home on the ranch for the Summer. They decide to have a Summer fling knowing they each have plans elsewhere in the Fall ~ James returning to Rodeo and Sophie to Vet school.
This becomes a slow burn romance with lots of sex. I think that’s where the problem lies. Most of the MC’s conversations revolve around sex and I didn’t feel a lot of real connection between them for the first 75% of the book.
Frankly, I think this might have been a DNF for me if it hadn’t been for the narrators. Aiden Snow is, as always, solid. Melissa Moran was new to me, but her sweet voice felt perfect for Sophie ~ giving her youth but not immaturity.
The end did come around and make it overall enjoyable and I am actually looking forward to Mark’s story. (Luke’s hasn’t released yet as of this writing)
I’m glad I didn’t spend a credit on this because it isn’t the quality of story that would have me listening more than once.
Bennett Boys Ranch #1
Love those Bennett Boys
Buck Wild – This one is about James and Sophia. James is a Rodeo Superstar and Sophia is a veterinary student intern in town for the summer. Sparks are immediate and super hot for these two. She loves bad boys and he certainly fits the bill. They know they only have the summer until they go back to there schedule plans. Can the relationship last or is it just a summer fling.
LOVED the chemistry between James and Sophie, and the relationship between the brothers and their Mama too. Playful, witty, dirty and exciting. Look forward to reading the other books in the series 🙂
I loved everything about this book. I’ve been in a book funk, but this story broke me right out of it. I LOVED James and Sophie and fell in love with James’ two brothers, too. I’m looking forward to reading their books. Very well-written and entertaining!
BEST LAID PLANS MUST BE CHANGED SOMETIMES…
James Bennett, the youngest of the Brothers Bennett, (and, I’m already in love with all three of them) is a hot, small town cowboy turned hot, professional bull rider and is, very successfully, living his childhood dream….He comes home to Great Falls, for the summer, to help on his family farm, before he leaves again to continue living his dream….
Sophie Stone has her life planned out…she’s already enrolled in a prestigious veterinary school for the fall and was lucky enough to be awarded with a summer internship with Doc Jones in Great Falls…Her plans are all coming together…
But, sometimes, as we grow older and life happens, dreams and plans change…And when love is involved, all bets are off….
BUCK WILD is a fantastic beginning to a new series….James and Sophie are so hot!!!!!
Like your men a little bit country and a whole lot sexy? A famous rodeo star returns to the family farm to lend a hand for the summer. What he thought would be a summer filled with monotonous work becomes way more interesting when he meets the local veterinarian in training. What is supposed to be a summer fling turns in an unexpected direction, and one sexy cowboy falls hard. A fun, sexy read that kept me up late so I could finish it. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
This is a really good read that I hope continues into the next book. The characters are enjoyable and the life that is lived in the book is something that I have always wanted to see. I loved picturing what was described in the book in my mind.
Wow! This book took me there! It was hot and sexy… made me cry all the happy tears! Just wonderful. I can’t wait to get into the next one! (And I love the way he calls her darlin’!!!)
Save a horse…ride a cowboy…..
Buck Wild is one sexy cowboy romance. I adore cowboys, so reading this was a no brainer for me. James Bennett is a rodeo superstar and the wildest of the Bennett brothers. He is a hot alpha male that has no trouble roping in the ladies. He is knocked off his saddle when Sophie Stone storms on the scene all confident and scrappy. James finds himself struck stupid every time she is around him.
They both had plans, they both wanted a short time summer fling. They soon discover plans don’t always turn out the way you expect. This story was fun and sexy and I look forward to more of the Bennett brothers.
James is a bull rider working on his family ranch while he’s off for the summer. Sophie is a veterinarian and finds James attractive until he opens his mouth. Sparks fly with this couple, will they be able to leave after a summer fling? This enemies to lovers western romance is a good read.
kindle Unlimited For honest review. This is a cute story of the BB ranch where James the younger a bull rider, luke middle a horse breeder/ trainer ,mark the oldest brother the one that head of the farm and Louise the mom .when the need a vet doctor Jones and Sofia are called out she is interning to become a vet.
4*
The Bennett boys James & his brothers Mark & Luke are pulling together in running the ranch after their father’s death.
Things don’t start on an easy footing when James insults Sophie the trainee vets capabilities leaving him with some serious apologising to do.
she’s used to insults so managed to put James in his place, will she accept his apology & offer?
I loved the family & hope there is more from the brothers please.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Wild buck.
Love the characters. Hopefully a series of books to come. Wondering where the boys end up?
Love the friendship between cowboy and vet
James is all cowboy, all male and all cocky alpha! Can he keep his cool when his summer fling with Sophie is over? This was a super sexy romance between a hot rodeo cowboy and a curvy vet student, and their chemistry was off the charts! I love a good hot cowboy romance, and this Bennett boy was about to get tamed! Fun banter with likable characters!
Lauren Landish consistently writes a hot, funny and sexy story!
