Okay, SO, roping and cowboy … WHO WOULDN’T READ THAT?!?! (also, you should because it was FUN!!
For a short read, this little story not only developed beautifully and packed a punch to my panties 😉 LOL The push-pull between Kat and Braxton made me laugh a lot. I can’t say that Kat maaaaaaybe went a bit OTT on him a few times, but it was FUN and the chemistry between them sparked off the pages. They had spark in and out of the bedroom … what’s not to like about that?!
Can one passionate night ever be enough for a hard working cowboy who can’t stop thinking about the sexy and feisty baker who stole his heart? Kat and Braxton were like oil and water when it came to how they felt about each other. He was upset as to how they left things the morning after their memorable night, and Kat had put Braxton and his sexiness at the back of her mind. She kept busy at her bakery and hated when she would run into Braxton at the Circle B Ranch. He was always so rude to her and she tried to avoid him at all costs. Braxton often skipped having breakfast at the ranch so he didn’t have to relive their night together. Their connection was so strong and he really thought she felt the same way about him. There must be some way to reach through to her in order to bring her back to him where she belonged. I love the Bishop Brothers series and I had been looking forward to Kat and Braxton’s story for a long time. They started out steamy, cooled off a bit, but as their relationship progressed, the intense feelings they had for each couldn’t be denied.
I loved it!!! Braxton & Kat will keep you laughing with the pranks they pulled on each other and the chemistry between Braxton & Kat was off the charts.
This was a quick and easy read that kept me wanting more.
HOLY MOLY!!! If you are ready for an amazing HOT read, then you need to grab this book. I have been so looking forward to getting this book to hear about Braxton & Kat who we were introduced to with the book Falling For the Cowboy. I knew it would be great since Kennedy Fox never lets us down on heat, passion and love! I love how they are just instantly drawn to each other and that fire is in and out of the bedroom! This is a quick read as novella but if you are like me you’ll love it just as much as every Kennedy Fox book.
Also I loved being back at the Bishop ranch and getting to hear from some of our most loved characters there in Texas.
Save a horse, ride a cowboy! Yeehaaaw!
I love everything that circles around Bishops and their ranch. And Roping the Cowboy is a short novella that’s connected to this incredible series. It’s a quick and funny read that will make you blush!
There’s a thin line between love and hate… Espiecially when you hurt someone’s feelings after incredible night of passion. And that’s exactly what happened between Kat and Braxton. Since then they are unofficial enemies, throwing insults at each other and making one another miserable. But resentment aside, there’s still the same electryfing chemistry that connected them in the first place. Which emotion will win? Anger or lust?
I loved this story. The banter between Braxton and Kat was hilarious and their pranks (although mean) made me laugh. I knew that they’ll end up bumping uglies. I mean, come on! I was feeling the sexual tension myself, just from reading! I was happy to see that they’re compatible not only in the bedroom, but on a daily basis too. They only needed to stop the immature fights and face their feelings. I’m only disappointed that this story was so short. I would love to read more about this couple. Nonetheless, I highly recommend!
Heat is not a problem for Kat and Braxton. In an instant, they go from virtual strangers to a one night stand. However, when the sun comes up, so do the barriers that stand in their way. Lust and love, battle it out, with tons of help from foolish pride. Roping the Cowboy burns it’s way into the bloodstream. Fox seduces with a little more naughty, tons of humor and a whole lot of frustration.
Roping the Cowboy wont disappoint you, it’s full of witty come back and what’s revenge in love, right?! It’s funny, tender and sweet!
You’ll grow to love Kat and Braxton, how creative the two and too stubborn to admit and really feel what they have binds them together!
I wish it’s more but it’s perfect at the same time!
I really enjoyed this novella. It was fun, witty, hot, and entertaining. Kat & Braxton clicked from the moment they met but their animosity and disdain for each other after their night together made for a hilarious story to me. My only wish is that the novella was a novel, it was a very enjoyable read 😉
I listened on the Podcast, but reading made it so much better. There is just something about seeing the words!
Love the cowboys that Kennedy Fox creates in their beautiful minds!
This book is amazing, love the back and forth banter, hilarious, sexy and HOT!! Braxton and Kat are a wonderful couple, cannot wait to see how they grow in the coming books of this series!
5 AMAZING STARS!
Snarky and sassy, Kat and Braxton have this in spades. We finally get to know why these two hate each other or at least are so mean to each other. They had an amazing hook-up one night and then Kat kicks Braxton out which infuriates him. When they cross paths in town, neither is civil to the other. Yet deep down, each one is suppressing their feelings of love. Is there a way for them to get past the hurt and embrace the love? It was a ton of fun finding out. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I loved it!!! Braxton & Kat will keep you laughing. The pranks is what really kept it going. The love hate they have. The chemistry is of the charts. This was a great book for the mood I was in.
I originally listened to this when it was on Read Me Romance and instantly fell in love with fun enemies to lovers romance. Of course, when I found out the book was going to have additional content I had to read it again.
Kat and Braxton have a one night stand. Flash forward six months and they are constantly running into each other around their small town. Kat’s bakery supplies pastries to the B&B at Circle B Ranch and Braxton just so happens to work on the ranch.
The banter between Kat and Braxton is hands down some of the best I have ever read. Their prank war had my dying of laughter! Especially when it came to Kat bring Braxton some delicious chocolate chip muffins. Besides the laughs, this book was steamy. Kat and Braxton’s chemistry is kindle melting.
I loved the added content from the audio version and the epilogue was perfect.
If you’re looking for a super quick, fun, steamy enemies to lovers romance this is definitely one I’d highly recommend. Plus, it is also fun to return to the Circle B Ranch!
I absolutely love the writing from these two lovely ladies, I’m currently playing catch up and reading the beginning of this series since I’ve missed the first 3 including the novella. This series can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading them all, I also recommend the Bishop Series that started the second generation series. They are simply amazing easy to read and page turner you don’t want to put them down once you start. With that being said off to jump into the next. Happy reading 🙂
This was a great book. Braxton and Kat are into each other but he’s hurt from their first encounter and she’s embarrassed so they are constantly at each other’s throat’s. Which means it’s just a matter of time before things erupt. They finally get it together and move things forward. They are madly in love with each other and I am so happy they got their happy ever after. Looking forward to the next book.
Sadly, this was not for me. 🙁
I was unable to like the characters, therefore I didn’t/ couldn’t feel anything. I love enemies to lovers, but there seemed to be way too much anger and hatred in the beginning between Braxton & Kat. There were a couple of moments that made me chuckle, but other than that, I couldn’t get into it.
I liked these two and the way their relationship starts is interesting. I liked that Kat made such a great business for herself. Braxton and Kat are trying to hide their feelings for each other behind grumpy remarks and pranks. I am glad they gave in because they belong together. This was a good short read.
Who is Kat? What do we find out about her and what has been happening in her life? Who is Noah? Where and how does Kat meet him? Who is Braxton? Why does Braxton call Colton? What happened? Oh my goodness, the one-upmanship between Kat and Braxton is a hoot to read! It is too much!!! Too much fun to read that is. Read and see what is going on and how it ends up playing out!
This is a great quick read that brings you back to Circle B Ranch. Kat and Braxton meet at a bar and hook up, the next morning they part ways abruptly. Thinking they would never see each other again. That couldn’t be more wrong, they start seeing each other every where. They start lashing out at each other, then pranking each other. The laughs ensue and their sexual tension finally reaches it’s tipping point! Such a great enemies to lover read.
This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased, honest opinion.
I’m super disappointed that this book wasn’t for me. I felt the two main characters, Kat and Braxton, were very immature and acted very childish. I also never felt a connection between these two. We go from them being mortal enemies to .00001 seconds later being lovers. Umm okay? Maybe if I had more time to ease into their relationship then I’d feel differently. But as it was, everything felt way too rushed. I just couldn’t get on board with these two.
One thing that bothered me tremendously was Kat ran a bakery and she baked Braxton a muffin which made him very sick. She put laxatives in it while baking it……This is a major issue for me. I don’t think you should ever slip something into someone’s food. EVER!! Not to mention this is Kat’s main source of income…..did she not even consider what that would do to her reputation? I know how small towns work and trust me, word will spread. It just wasn’t cool or acceptable in my opinion. It crossed way too many lines.
Such a fun book! I love the pranks. Although I wouldn’t want to be the one to clean it all up. This is a fun and sexy book. I will have to read all the rest of this author’s books.
