He’s sexy, charming and has a panty-melting smirk.She’s swearing off men.Two weeks on the beach is what they both need—no strings attached, no expectations, no broken hearts.Alex Bishop is your typical cowboy.Charming, sexy, and wears a panty-melting smirk.Working on the ranch helped build his solid eight-pack and smoking body. He’s every girl’s wet fantasy and he knows it too. Alex doesn’t … and he knows it too. Alex doesn’t follow the rules of your typical playboy bachelor. After wining and dining his dates and giving them the best night of their lives, he always sends flowers and calls the next day—even if it’s to say, let’s just be friends. His mama taught him manners after all and his southern blood knows how to be a gentleman. Still, that isn’t enough to tame the wildest of the Bishop brothers.
River Lancaster has finally met the man of her dreams. Too bad after six months of romantic bliss, she finds out he’s married. With a broken heart and blind rage, she books herself a ticket to Key West, Florida. Tired of cheaters and liars, she’s set on escaping to forget he ever existed. Who needs a man when there’s an all-you-can-drink margarita bar, anyway? That’s what she tells herself until she bumps into the right guy who can make all those bad memories disappear.
Even if it’s only temporarily.
Two weeks on the beach is what they both need. No strings attached, no expectations, no broken hearts. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll change the entire course of their lives in just nine short months.
Taming Him is book 1 in the Bishop Brothers series and can be read as a complete standalone. Suggested for mature readers only.

I quite enjoyed this book. Loved the key west part and the Texas part. Great story.
I loved the book, i could not put it down, beautifully written.
I love happy endings because there is too much sadness in the world.
Awesome book
I started reading this book a couple of months ago and stopped reading it because it was very slow. I didn’t delete it because it was a Kennedy Fox book and I love their books. I just finished reading Roping The Cowboy and I loved everything about it so I decided to give Taming Him another chance. I was disappointed because my first impressions of it didn’t change. The book didn’t get better for me. For the majority of it was boring. I didn’t connect with the characters especially Alex and River. The Bishop brothers didn’t move me. Normally the sidekick best friend of the heroine is funny and outrageous but Natalie was boring too. The story wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t great. I am curious to read Hitching The Cowboy which is Riley’s story. Riley is Alex and Rivers’s son from this book. until next time y’all happy reading.
Loved this book. From beginning to end – just an amazing story. Made me laugh at times and cry at others.
This is the best start to a series
Fantastic book, can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
Loved the Bishop brothers series. Great reads.
Just a great book!
Great book it was funny romantic it was just a great book I could read more of her books
I loved this book it was a refreshing twist to cowboy romance.
I admire every author for all their hard work. I enjoyed the story, and will read more books written by this author. The characters are adorable and the story telling is consuming. I escaped in a well-written romantic fictional world until I finished reading.
I loved EVERYTHING about this book. The plot. The characters. The writing.
Okay, so this was my first book by Kennedy Fox and let me tell you they are one of my faves now. Just after one book I am hooked. I’ve already been which books of theirs to read next, of course I’ll start Needing Him which is the second book in the Bishop Brothers novels, which by the way I’m excited about.
But now about Mr. Alex Bishop. When the term “save a horse ride a cowboy” was invented, they had it in mind for Alex Bishop.
I live in Oklahoma, but my roots are southern and every once in a while my accent will pop out, and I’ve heard others speak it when I’ve visited Texas and let me tell you nothing has made southern accents seem sooooo dreamy until I read it. I know crazy right? lol But i’m telling you, Alex Bishop is what they call “panty droppin” swoon worthy.
Alex Bishop is known as the main town player who wines and dines a girl then after they hook-up, treats them like the gentleman he is but gives them the boot all the same. When his best friend wins a trip to Key West for two weeks he gets talked into going with him, and this is where he meets the woman who could “tame” “wild stallion that is Alex Bishop” because at first she totally blows him off. Which he finds both fascinating and strangely cold. SO he continues to try and swoon her.
River Lancaster is a PICU nurse who recently found out her boyfriend already had a wife. Her bestie talks her into going on a two week long vacation to Key West to let loose and make time for herself. On;y she didn’t expect to meet Alex Bishop. A guy she knows she shouldn’t get attached too but kept help what her heart does.
As their connection and chemistry grows, their days together dwindle, but then when Alex is just deciding to get over her and move on, a sudden twist in the story happens that makes you love it and them even more.
This was my first book from this authors and I’m telling you, I won’t stop here! This book was so addictive, fun, sexy, romantic full with amazing characters that I’ll never get tired off! I really need stories from all of them always. Besides that, the feeling of been at home was everything, this was small town friendliness to another whole level, I really want to be there and have a meal with Mama Bishop.
I absolutely recommend this story, you won’t regret it!
Sexy cowboys, beach vacations and an unexpected surprise…. who could ask for anything more.
I really enjoyed reading this book. River and Alex’s chemistry was so hot. Couldn’t put this book down, until I was finished. Can’t wait to start the next book in this series.
Full review on my blog: https://kingdomofromancenovels.blogspot.com/2018/09/kennedy-fox-taming-him-velemenyezes-uj.html
“Come and get a ride on the Wild Stallion, Alex Bishop! Six-foot something, dirty blond hair, and a smart mouth to boot! He may be a cocky son of a bitch, but don’t worry, his mama taught him right. He’ll wine and dine you before fucking you till you forget your own name! Now ladies, who’s first?”
My obsession with Kennedy Fox’s books started with Taming Him, so be prepared: once you have started it, you won’t want to put it down until you finish it (and every novel in the series). This series is explosively fantastic and 100% sure hotter than the Texas heat. Be ready for an intense ride! Romance readers, Bishop brothers is everything you need. Alex will amaze you and you will be totally blown away, Evan will made you crave for more and more, John will make you swoon a lot (and I mean a really-really lot), and Jackson will completely steal your heart.
Taming Him, Needing Him, Chasing Him and Keeping Him are can be read as standalone novels, but I don’t really recommend that. You would miss a super amazing story because it is so complete if you read these in order. You will be impressed by Bishop brothers , and you will want more and more.
“Why are you so perfect?”
“Trust me, I’m not. But you make me want to be.”
This book is simply awesome. That’s all I want to say. I really love how these two authors worked together and created and amazing romance story, I really like their style. Alex and River became one of my biggest favourite bookish couples, but besides them, I absolutely adored the Bishops, Dylan and almost everyone. I have already read all the published books in Bishop Brothers series, and I really do think that this is getting better and better with every new one. I’m super excited for Keeping Him, can not wait to read it.
You’ll be by my side as long as there’s breath in my lungs and a beat in my heart.
Taking everything into account, Taming Him by Kennedy Fox is total addiction from the very beginning. Because of this book, I became a huge fan of their writings, I am still amazed by all of the novels I have read by them. I can not imagine any better start for Bishop Brothers series than Taming Him. If you want to read something really adorable and romantic that takes you back to the summer, do not look any further, this book (and the whole series) will be a perfect choice for you. It is my 6 stars favourite, but I think even that can not truly show how much I love this novel.
I have no words! All of Kennedy Fox’s books are absolutely amazing!!
This book is amazing! Fell in love right from the start!! Thank you!!
