Settling down and starting a family is something Diesel has considered, regardless of his one-night stand reputation. However, he just might be single forever since who he wants is off-limits—his best friend’s little sister.
He’s been in love with her for years, but betraying his friendship could ruin everything.
Rowan Bishop is over men, especially after finding out her boyfriend cheated and … boyfriend cheated and left her heartbroken. After graduating from college, she’s back home and has to face the one guy who purposely gets under her skin—her older brother’s best friend.
She hates that she’s attracted to him, but she’s willing to fight for who she wants.
Spending time together is a bad idea, but neither can deny the chemistry sizzling between them. Late night talks turn into spontaneous adventures and just when Rowan’s willing to admit how she truly feels, Diesel’s past catches up with him and ruins their picture perfect romance.
One secret turns into another and before either can grasp their new reality, more truths unravel—threatening to expose their forbidden relationship.
Catching the Cowboy is a complete standalone and can be read without reading any of the other books or series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.

Such a fun listen. I love the witty banter between all the characters. Diesel and Rowan are so amazing together. Just an overall sweet story about a boy that loved his best friends sister since they were young. Finally one day he gets his chance and sparks fly. With a few bumps a long the way, the happily ever after happens. Kudos to the narrators Lia Langola and Stephen Dexter. They really did an amazing job bringing Rowan and Diesel to life.
Diesel is one of the sweetest men at Circle B Ranch so far and Rowen is one of the sassiest women on the ranch. They make a perfect couple can’t wait to see what their future holds for them.
This book was fantastic i couldn’t put it down
Catching the Cowboy is the second book in Kennedy Fox’s Circle B Ranch Series. The story follows Diesel and Rowan, daughter of Alex and River from Taming Him. She is also Riley’s sister from Hitching the Cowboy. By the end of that book I couldn’t wait to get their story! Diesel is Riley’s best friend and who has practically threatened him with his life if he goes anywhere near his sister so you know immediately this is a forbidden romance. Diesel is hilarious. He is loud and large hence the name Diesel! He is fun and loving and always up for a good time. He is a playboy with the ladies but has always had a thing for Rowan. He is also very hard working as ranch hand on the Bishop Ranch. I loved getting to see his sweeter/softer side with Rowan. Rowan is sassy, fun and sweet. She has just returned home from University and is working at her family’s bar. She has had some bad luck with men in the past and wants to steer clear of any relationships especially one with Diesel who knows exactly how to get under her skin. I really loved the development of Rowan and Diesel’s relationship. Rowan really couldn’t stand Diesel most of her life but she finally sees a different side to him and I loved their connection, banter and chemistry. Kennedy Fox write the BEST Cowboy Romances. The writing flows perfectly and I find myself immersed in the story and characters so quickly and never want to put the story down. I cannot wait for Wrangling the Cowboy next.
I was waiting very impatient for Diesel book, and I’m really happy that I could finnaly dive into this story.
Catching The Cowboy gave me a lot of fun since the first paiges in a truly Bishop’s way. Rowan and Diesel shared good banter – I liked their arguments, specially that I could feel also hidden atraction for each other. It was funny, sweet and steamy, without too much drama in the background.
I’m also happy that one thing didn’t change since the first time I’ve meet Bishops – Their love as a family. Coming back to them is always meltig my heart. Watching how they grow up, how kids getting married and how Bishop Brothers are happy with their women are the best thing ever.
Must read title!
I loved this story. Diesel and Rowan have an attention grabbing chemistry.
Welcome back to the Circle B Ranch where there is always an abundance of alpha cowboys and super sassy women who bring them to their knees. Catching the Cowboy was no exception, as Diesel is about to put it all on the line for his best friend’s little sister, Rowan . . . who happens to be the woman he’s been in love with since he was 14 years old.
For years, Rowan and Diesel have treated each other as nothing more than annoyances with teasing and harmless flirting. But, now that Rowan’s back at the ranch for good after graduating from college, Diesel plans on wearing her down until she gives him a real chance to prove himself to her.
Sparks fly and their new secret relationship burns hot. but, how do they announce that they are dating to a group of people who don’t think they should be together? And, when a bomb is dropped on Diesel, nothing will ever be the same and their relationship may be over before anyone they care about even knows it started.
Catching the Cowboy was a fun twist on an enemies to lovers romance , as they were not really enemies per se, but they definitely were not friends either. Diesel was a great mix or cocky alpha and sweet and romantic. I really loved that he literally had a thing for Rowan for ten years just waiting for the right time to let her know. And Rowan was super sassy and spirited and I loved her attitude!
Diesel and Rowan were a cute couple with a love that teetered between sweet and sexy, forbidden and it’s about time and had enough drama to shake things up in some unexpected ways to keep the drama levels up at the Circle B. 4 stars!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present you the ultimate stay-up-all-night romance novel by Kennedy Fox. Catching the Cowboy is a book worth staying up all night to read. Who needs sleep when you can spend some time with these amazing characters?
I have dropped everything and started reading it as soon as I got it. Once I was back on the Bishop ranch, I just couldn’t stop. Diesel totally stole my heart in Hitching the Cowboy, and now I am totally under his spell. Catching the Cowboy is THE BEST Bishop book yet. I have finished it so quickly, but I did not want this to end. This family makes me all emotional and I am here for it. There is a quote in this book that perfectly describes my feelings for this series:
, ‘ .
Each and every time I read about these characters and the Circle B Ranch, I feel like I am home. I have never experienced anything like that before I started reading the Kennedy Fox books. The excitement I feel every time I start reading a Bishop book is indescribable. My heart swells with love and happiness, but the Circle B Ranch series always makes me want to cry too. It is just so amazing reading about my favourite characters being happy. The very first chapter of Catching the Cowboy made me super emotional. This book rocked my world in the best way possible.
Catching the Cowboy is a book every romance reader needs in their life. If you love brother’s best friend romance novels, you will love Diesel and Rowan’s book too. Catching the Cowboy is the ultimate stay-up-all-night romance novel.
Catching the Cowboy is an outstanding, heart warming, utterly achingly beautiful story. My eyes were basically glued to the pages, while I was reading it I felt like I didn’t even want to blink. Every time I read about the Bishops, my world ceases to exist.
My favorite ranch is back people!!
My ladies Kennedy Fox have the best cowboys ever and I am so glad they keep adding more to The Circle B Ranch.
This was a very good secret lovers/best friends little sister. And with Diesel everything was hilarious. But he also showed he has a soft and sweet side. Only Rowen got to witness that side.
The banter with Rowen and Diesel was some of the best. And how they end up together made me all giddy. I loved them together. But I have to say that the twist that was thrown in there gave me anxiety!! I was biting my nails and needed to know how it all played out.
I am looking forward to Mazie’s story next! The set up for that one was just, gaahhh the best!!!
5⃣

Another amazing read by Kennedy Fox! I was roped in from the start with all the smart mouth bickering and banter, sexual tension, and swoony goodness. Diesel just leaves you breathless and burning up with that sinful mouth and body of his. I loved Rowan because she gives as good as she gets. Their connection is undeniable no matter how much of a fight is put up. This story will leave you hungry and eager for what happens next. I loved ever moment of reading this story! I’m so excited for this series to continue and I will never get enough!
Oh Diesel and Rowan!!!!! I absolutely DEVOURED this story and LOVED Every. Single. Page! From the very first page I was totally invested in this story. It is a story that, at times, you struggle between wanting to read faster to find out what happens but you don’t want to read too fast because that will just bring you closer to THE END faster. I am already looking forward to reading this story all over again! Whew!!!! Cowboys!!!!
Welcome back to the Circle B Ranch!!! I just LOVE the Bishop family!! Diesel has loved Rowan forever – and now that she’s home for good he has his chance to show her!! Watching them get to know each other more and falling in love was the best! I just loved their banter Rowan with her sassiness and Diesel’s wit. Seeing them work through the bumps that come their way, makes their HEA even sweeter Can’t wait time get back to the Ranch!!
Book 2 in the Circle B Ranch series and this one’s a sibling’s best friend romance, and I am here for it! I loved the interactions between Diesel and Rowan, and the fact that Diesel has decided to settle down from his player ways, but only if he gets the one woman he wants. For me, this story worked as well as it did because there’s already plenty of history between these two, although it wasn’t all roses and sunshine back before Rowan left for college. Now that she’s back, the change in their relationship was great to see, from acquaintances to friends to something more.
This book was awesome. I love brothers best friend tropes and this didn’t let me down. I loved the snarkiness of Rowan and the sweetness of Diesel. I loved the side characters and that Maize is going to get her own book. Great read!!!!
Adam Hayes, or Diesel, is The Cowboy in this story who had secretly liked his best friend’s younger sister for years but that went against the ‘Bro code’. That is until Rowan graduates from college and moves back home then all bets are off the table.
I really enjoyed the very detailed descriptions about the characters and the scenes but also some fun vocabulary top, for example… “voluntold” I explains clearly with only one word instead of many.
At first, I wasn’t so sure about the title but, yep, it is very apt after all. There is quite a bit of going back and forth in the story over q number of years although it does make sense, at times things were a tiny bit repetitive though I found.
The intimate scenes are red hot and extremely passionate. There is quite a bit of fun banter between the characters, the lead characters especially. Even though there are some more serious elements in the background of this story the overwhelming theme is one of lighthearted romance and family time.
Reviewer: Robyn
I was sooooooo excited to read Diesel and Rowan’s story. So when the opportunity came up to read an early copy of this story, I snagged it.
I LOVED being back in this world. This is just the story I need right now during these stressful times. These ladies really know to write swoon worthy cowboys. I love when you anticipate a read and it is even better than expected.
This story is jam packed with all the feels and it is an absolute must read!!
This was my first time reading about The Circle B Ranch or any of the characters in these story lines, however it was not confusing and I did not feel like I was missing any part of the story. Diesel (Adam) and Rowan had witty and sassy arguments and it only intensified their feelings for each other. I loved the little things that he did for her to show that he cared for her. When the problems started to happen for them is when I started to have a little problem with the story. This issue was a pretty big deal and everything seemed to wrap up pretty quickly and easily for them.
5 Diesel Filled Stars!!!
Kennedy Fox don’t stop writing anytime soon!!! Ever since their first diet I’ve been hooked and theirCircle B Ranch Series is no different!!!
When reading Hitching The Cowboy I KNEW Riley’s best friend Diesel had a thing for Riley’s younger sister Rowan and wasn’t just saying it to get under Riley’s skin and boy was I right!!!
Diesel has been in love with Rowan for most of his life. His best friend forbid him to lay one finger on his little sister but that didn’t stop him from kissing her at her eighth grade formal. But, denied it when Riley asked him about it which set them on this frenemies relationship their entire lives.
Rowan has known Adam AKA Diesel most of her life. He was her first kiss and was crushed when he denied it. Ever since he’s treated her like his best friends annoying little sister every time he saw her.
Rowan went away for college. She loves numbers and wants to be able to help her family run the business. While in college she dated a guy for awhile until she caught him cheating on her and she broke up with him.
Rowan is back from school and managing the bar her Uncle’s John and Evan own.
Since coming home from college things with Diesel have started to change. He’s always giving her a hard time but it’s different this time. When he helps her close the bar one night they end up kissing in the office and everything changed for Rowan.
The minute Rowan admits to Diesel since their kiss and the time they’ve been spending together she’s seeing him in a totally different way. She def doesn’t have to tell that twice to Diesel lol.
Rowan doesn’t wanna tell anybody that they’re seeing each other just yet since she did just go thru a bad breakup and Diesel’s been a huge part of her brothers and family life for so long she doesn’t want to say anything Incase it doesn’t work out. Diesel agrees as long as he gets her.
Diesel and Rowan fall for each other hard and fast. Faster then either of them expected. Bc, even though they’ve known each other for so long, they’re learning so many new things they didn’t know before.
Diesel’s been known as a partier and been known to go thru women quick. But, the past few years he has calmed down.
Now, that he finally has the love of his life he doesn’t ever want anybody but Rowan for the rest of his life. Outta the blue something from a few years ago pop up on his doorstep that threatens to put a stop to everything that he’s waited so long to get. Diesel just hopes Rowan won’t run away the minute she finds out.
OMG this story was amazing!!! I’m so in love with this family and the cowboys on their ranch that whenever I’m reading the newest release I’m already anxious for the secondary characters to get their stories LMAO.
Diesel and Rowan were perfect for each other. I’m glad Diesel grew some balls and admitted his feelings and that Rowan opened her eyes to what was in front of her face since elementary school.
After reading this I’m dying for the next book. It’s def gunna be another good one!!!
Kennedy Fox is a master at writing tantalizing novels!
At this point, I never doubt that I am going to fall in love with anything this author duo writes. It can be any genre, any trope, and I would still devour it in one sitting.
Catching The Cowboy was yet another novel I can add to my “favourite novels” shelf. Diesel is one hot leading character, who will have you swooning, and continually picking your jaw up off the floor. He is funny, and won’t hesitate to go after what he wants. Rowan will have you smirking with her sassy attitude, not willing to back down, and will continually saw what she wants.
If you haven’t read Kennedy Fox, what are you waiting for? You are certainly missing out. If you have read them before, well then this is yet another novel you should be picking up.
5/5 Stars!
I really enjoyed this one a lot overall. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. This review is for an ARC, and reflects my honest opinion.
Adam (Diesel) was a riot in the previous book, so I knew I’d get a kick out of his character. And he definitely didn’t disappoint; if anything, he was even better than I imagined. On top of being funny and confident, he was actually a sweetheart and a great man as well. If I was just rating based on his character, this would without a doubt be 5 stars.
As for Rowan, I did like her, but she wasn’t my favorite heroine from this duo of authors. I think because she denied her feelings, and didn’t really fight for their relationship like I thought she should, for a long time. Although that made me like Diesel even more, so I’d be happy to take him off her hands haha. I did appreciate her conviction, and spunk/sassiness though!
Despite me not loving this quite as much as I thought I would, it was still amazing. I always love being able to see past couples/characters while also seeing what couple will be featured in the next book. I wouldn’t say brother’s best friend is my favorite trope, but I do enjoy it, and this was no exception.
