When a reality show comes knocking, you take their offer. That’s exactly what we did, and now our cattle ranch has become a dude ranch. But the producers want more from me than to teach these city slickers how to saddle up. They want me to play the part of Romeo in an on-screen romance. Until I tell them I’m engaged.Too bad that’s a bold-faced lie.Now I have to find a willing participant in my … participant in my charade for the next twelve weeks and my friend has the perfect solution. She’s gorgeous, smart, and sexy as sin—and she’s agreed to fake our engagement, for a price.
If making it look real is as fun as I think it’ll be, I’m in trouble. Because this woman might be the one who tames my wild side.

Fake fiancé trope, a sexy as sin cowboy, and Kim Loraine’s writing? Yes, please! In fact, I’ll take two. Bucked Off was all things swoony and deliciously steamy. Buck and Penny’s story was so much fun, perfect book to curl up with and leave me smiling.
Full disclosure: it took me some times to warm up to Penny. The girl is all kinds of fiesty and stubborn and at times I found her a tad whiny, but ultimately, she won me over. And Buck, what can I say? He is all things yummy, smexy cowboy. The man had me at “Sugar!” Swoony doesn’t even begin to cover it! Together these two sizzled more than a plate Chili’s fajitas! Another great read from Kim Loraine!!
Those Ryker boys got it going on! Buck and Penny shared a sweet teenaged kiss that quick turned bittersweet. But when Buck needs a fake fiancée, Penny fit the bill. What a funny, hot and altogether sweet cowboy romance. Loved it!
I enjoyed Bucked Off, the plot and characters were strong, the story was written well. Kim Loraine did a great job on it.
Penny and Buck’s journey was a bit bumpy but they were made for each other. The connection and chemistry between them was strong. They were great together.
The story line was good, the character work was great and the book had a fairly smooth flow to it. This was a great addition to the series and kept me entertained from beginning to end.

I fall even more in love with every book Kim Loraine writes!
Bucked Off had me swooning and falling head over heels for a sexy cowboy and his feisty masseuse. This book was sexy, sweet, and full of heart all wrapped up in a beautiful package. This story was a wonderful feel good book that will have you laughing and falling in love this this lovely world Kim Loraine has created.
I loved Penny! She was this feisty woman who was more than capable for standing up for and taking care of herself. But I loved that we also got to see a bit of her vulnerable side too. The fact that she read, loved to horseback ride and more made me fall even more in love with this sassy, sweet heroine.
And Buck…goodness gracious someone pinch me! This man was the epitome of swoon-worthy. With his “You okay, Sugar?”, reading Penny her romance books, taking care of her and his family, loving his animals and more, what’s not fall head-over-heels in love with?!?!?
The chemistry between Buck and Penny was off the charts! Even with the simplest of touches the sparks were flying. Even when they tried to deny their feelings, there was no missing the connection they had. There was so many memorable moments between them that I won’t ever forget. Moments has had me smiling like a loon and loving every minute of it.
This book just proved again why I love Kim Loraine and her incredible stories so much!

This book hits all the marks, with wonderful characters high in the romance department and just enough angst to get all the juices flowing. Absolutely, loved the storyline of Buck and Penny going all the way back to when they were teenagers. There are so many crossed signals, you just want to shake your head and wonder how they cannot see what’s right in front of them. So looking forward to the rest of this series.

this is not the first fake fiance book i have read as i have read quite a few, this one was quite good and i enjoyed reading it
The start of Buck and Penny’s story is so sweet and yet so heart-breaking. It’s amazing how a little misunderstanding can change your whole life. But fate has a way of surprising you when you least expect it.
Buck Ryker and Penny Callahan shared their first kiss together as teenagers and neither one could forget the other one after that. Ten years later the Ryker Family has a reality TV show filming on the ranch and they want Buck to have a romance with one of the contestants. He wants nothing to do with their plan, so he meets Penny in a bar and she needs a job with a place to live. Seems like an answer to his problem. She can work at the ranch and live with him. The sparks do fly whenever these two are close to each other. There attraction was electrifying. Penny brought with her a little dog that weighed less than twelve pounds which added a great deal of humor to the story. Their plan to live together for three months as an engaged couple to please the TV people looked good on paper, but in reality they met a lot of pit falls, twist and turns, plus their own stubbornness. Start early in the day reading, so you will not be up all night reading. You will not want to put it down until you finish.

Ms. Kim is back and has another hit! I loved this book; it was so hard to put down! Penny and Buck were each other’s first kiss but Penny ran after she heard unpleasant news. Now, after years these two are back together in a fake relationship that is mutually beneficial. I loved these two together. The chemistry is smoking hott and the bickering had me laughing so hard! This book is part of a series but can be read a a standalone. I can’t wait for the rest of the family to get their books! I highly recommend this book and this amazing author!

This was one of those books that brought you to your knees. The writing was perfect. The cadence was nice and slow. There was no drama. The entire book flowed like honey. The romance if buck and penny is unmistakable. And page by page, I found more opportunities to highlight quotes. Simply perfect!
I had read and just loved the first book in the series Ever and Clint’s story so I just could not wait to dive into this one and it did not disappoint. If you are like me and just love a good fake relationship romance then you are really going to enjoy Penny and Buck’s book it was a super read and was a lot of fun. I am enjoying this series and would definitely recommend it
Great Read!
Penny and Buck shared a kiss as teenagers and then she was misinformed on his intentions. Present day, he is a single guy trying to run from a forced romance and asks Penny to help him. She pulls no punches and tells it like it is. She is really relatable and likable. Buck is cocky and swoon worthy. Their story is sweet with a side of steamy. He is clueless and falls in love anyway. I can’t wait to read Tristan’s story!
This was a really good fake fiance romance. The characters were funny, sexy and real. The author did a great job showing the development of their relationship.

He balks and tells them he is engaged, then has to produce a fake fiance. Penny Callahan has just quit her job working for a sleazy spa owner. She bumps into Buck at the local bar and they come to an agreement. The road to their HEA is filled with lost opportunities and stubbornness but they get together in the end.

I was so excited for another story in the Ryker Ranch series! I loved Saddle Up but I think I might have even loved this book a little more! So many wonderful characters return and it’s so good to see them again. Buck and Penny are such fun characters and the chemistry was there from the beginning, even though they tried to deny it. Just as I did previously, I laughed, cried and even did a little yelling. You will find it all here – love, laughter, family, friendship, loyalty and steam. Such a great read!

I loved this fun romance. It is steamy, sweet and humorous. The storyline has a lighthearted feel to it that quickly captures your attention and brings a smile to your face. Penny and Buck were a winning pair. Both were very charismatic and likable. I loved their interactions and chemistry. Penny was so realistic and relatable,. She was sweet but had a strong backbone. Buck was quite simply a perfect poster boy of a hot cowboy. Everything about him from the way he talks, to his mannerisms, to his actions are all going to simply make you melt. If you want a book that will give you lots of feels while also making you feel good, you can stop looking because you’ve found one. I am choosing to post a forthright review.
