See all formats and editions

Kane Bishop’s content with living and working on the ranch, but something is missing—a family of his own. After his twin brother married the woman he once loved, Kane has moved on and is now focusing on new things. When his best friend’s little sister re-enters his life, the attraction is undeniable, but the timing is all wrong.

He should keep his distance and not tempt fate, but he can’t get her out of his head.

Ivy’s had a secret crush on Kane for as long as she can remember. Although she’s an introverted bookworm who hasn’t dated much, she’s ready to go after him. He might be a six-foot-three, inked, muscular god who’s out of her league, but she wants him to be her first and only.

She’ll risk it all to get his attention, but it won’t be easy since he’s off-limits.

Giving in to temptation doesn’t come without consequences—it’ll either bring them together or tear them apart.

Tempting the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.

Sweet and Spicy Cowboy

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2022

What can I say about these two except incredibly spicy!!

Kane and Ivy... The unexpected couple you come to love.

Ivy the girl who never thought her childhood crush could actually want her back. Kane has always been on her radar but wonders if her age will be a deterrent to getting the man she wants. When she puts herself out there and comes to find out he's been craving her like she has been him fireworks start to explode.

This book makes you love Kane even more. You want him to have the love he truly desires. Seeing his story come to life... (one moment while I fan myself) He's sweet, kind, unbelievably attentive... but when those doors close. Let the bad boy come to play. Kane is going to put out all the stops to make Ivy realize they are good together no matter what might come their way.

Their story is fun, sweet, secretive and oh so steamy! Once you start you certainly don't want to stop.

A May-September Romance

As we near the end of this series, we meet the Ivy - Kane romance with a ten year age difference. Not only that but a giant experience gap in dating and relationships. They makea really cute couple but Kane's overactive passiveness is going to cause problems later on though the authors ignore it. The story is the typical Kennedy Fox writing with strong characters and good description and action. A great read for the mature reader.

Charming slow burn small town romance

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

Tempting the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox is part of their Circle B Ranch series and gives us all the best things! Age-gap, small town romance and all the steaminess! And Kane stole my heart! He is the best kind of book boyfriend material! He is caring, protective and the kind of man you want to share your bed. Ivy was sweet and kind and ready for the things she wanted, even with her insecurities. I loved these two together. It was a bit of a slow burn, but it fit their story well and allowed them to get to know each other. I loved reading their journey and seeing old friends. This can be read as a standalone, however, you get more enjoyment following the reading order for sure. Another must read by this amazing writing duo.

Happy reading!

I’ve been eager to read Kane’s story since the last book with Kane and Knox both wanting Hadleigh.

This book did not disappoint. Like all Kennedy Fox books that I read, once I start the book I always have to finish it in one sitting. This book was no different.

This book was a wonderful slow burn swoony romance. I loved all the steaminess, secrets, and angst this book had. I loved watching Ivy and Kane fall in love.

I loved seeing all the Bishop family members all together again. I am so sad that there is only one more book left in this series. I don’t want it to end!

*I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

I started this book with my morning coffee thinking I'd read a few chapters and then I'd pick it up after yard work....I barely set Kane and Ivy's story down!! Age gap, best friends sister, and a few melt your kindle scenes later and I'm telling you Kane will knock whatever cowboy you had as your favorite right out of their number one spot! I always knew he was kind of a softy, but in a good way, but I fell so much more in love with Kane with how gentle and kind he was with Ivy! And Ivy, yes she's young, but she's got her head on right and when she knows what she wants, she goes after it full force! Run and devour this book, I promise you that you will not regret it!

Oh My Word! Kane Bishop is the embodiment of the perfect book boyfriend for the sweet and innocent Ivy! I think I have found my perfect book boyfriend in Kane! This book was everything i enjoy wrapped up in an amazing story. Kane and Ivy are such a cute couple, I truly think this book might have become my favorite book in this series and that is a tall order as this series is one i enjoy re-reading often!

This book brings the sweet and the spice all in one.

If you haven't spent time with Kane and Ivy trust me you will enjoy the ride! (I know i did)

Kane and Ivy steam up the Kindle!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022

Ivy has love Kane for years but with their age difference and the fact he is her sister’s best friend, well, she doesn’t have much hope he will ever see her as more than a kid. Kane is ready to find the love of his life and settle down but hasn’t had much luck. When his current girlfriend suggests and “open” relationship, well, that tells him it’s the end for them. When Ivy shows up on his doorstep because her car won’t start, he finds himself struggling to keep his hands to himself. I love that Ivy is a total book nerd and has learned so much from all the romance novels she devours. This provides a great connection as Kane wants to know more about the books she reads and she wants to try some of things she read with him. We also get to experience Kane’s romantic side which melted my heart as he woos Ivy. Add in the supporting cast that is the Bishop clan and all their significant other’s and children and well, you have a fabulous romance to escape into. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Damn I don’t know if I like Kane and Ivy better than Knox and Hadleigh or if these ladies are going to do Kaitlin any better. Each book in this bishop series is better than the last and I am not ready to let them go… Ivy and Kane are amazing together and with who mature of a character Ivy is you don’t feel the age difference at all. Be ready for the spice though while reading… 5 star read for sure.

One of my best reads of 2022! All the Stars!!!

Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2022

Hands down one of my best reads of 2022 so far! I loved every second of Kane and Ivy's story. They were the sweetest, cutest, most swoon worthy couple. And OMG the Spice! I devoured this book in a day and I am definitely going to read it again! Trust me, if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

I've been dying to read Kane's story ever since Claiming the Cowboy and DAMN this book did NOT disappoint. It was everything I wanted and more. The story was so beautifully written, engaging, emotional, and made me so happy.

Now let's talk characters:
KANE FREAKIN'BISHOP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! This man, Oh my God, this man.
Kane is a k! nky freak and a cinnamon roll wrapped in one and I freaking love it! He knows how to properly treat a girl inside and outside of the bedroom. *swoons*
Everything about Kane was perfect and I loved how he was written. When a character affects you to the point where you get butterflies in your belly and goosebumps all over your skin you know that's some top tier writing. Kane gave me all those feelings and more...
Kane is officially *drumroll* my #1 book boyfriend now. He's everything any women could ever ask and dream for. Equal parts kinky and a gentlemen. Oh, and let me just tell you how hot his protective side is. *swoons*

Now Cue Ivy. Ivy is Hadleigh's (Kane's Best friend) little sister. Ivy has been crushing on Kane ever since she was a kid and now that she's older she's ready to do whatever it takes to make this dream happen.
Ivy was so freaking cute! She's an introverted bookworm who has no experience in dating.
Watching Ivy crawl out of her shell and become so comfortable in her own skin was so amazing and refreshing! I loved that her career and studies were also important to her and that she was so ambitious.

Kane and Ivy fit together like a glove, puzzle, whatever there is out there that fit each other perfectly.

This book was so well written. the execution, exposition, transitions, everything was so perfect. It had a great build up and it didn't go too fast or too slow. Just right.
Everything was so well balanced. We got enough plot, spice, sweet, swoon worthy, and emotional moments and were left completely satiated and satisfied. There were moments where my heart cracked for the love these two had for each other. The letters Kane would write Ivy (especially the one near the end) made me cry because they were filled with so much love. It was so freaking beautiful. This book holds a special place in my heart.

If you want a beautiful, sweet, small town, age-gap, best-friends little sister romance with hot cowboys and tons of spice, this is the book for you!

Ok, now I'm going to go find my own Kane Bishop. Read this book and thank me later. Happy reading!

Kennedy Fox unlocking reader kînks since 2016…

I don’t know if I need a fire extinguisher or extra batteries, but. My. Flaps. Are. On. Fire!

(Sorry, sorry! *snorts* No one needs those nightmare inducing images flooding their craniums.)

Seriously though, peeps. I thought Knox’s book was Kennedy Fox’s hottest book to date… *shakes head* I hereby retract said statement and present Exhibit A, Kane in all his glory. *bites lip*

I’m sure I wasn’t the only reader whose heart hurt a little (or a lot) for Kane at the end of Claiming the Cowboy. So, it’s fair to say I was ALL IN, emotionally speaking, before I even read the first page of TtC.

I confess to having read Kane and Ivy’s story twice so far and it still isn’t enough. Pfft, let’s face it, once is never enough with a Bishop boy. *sighs*

I totally forgot I was reading an age gap romance as Ivy is such a relatable character. The quiet bookworm with a love of spicy reads crushing on her sister’s best friend. Despite being more than twice her age (shut it!) I found myself muttering, “Same girl, same!” repeatedly at my kindle screen. As The Mommy likes to comment (or lament), I’m a fount of knowledge when it comes to a certain subject. Well, we’ve all got to be good at something. *blushes*

TtC was the perfect mix of feelings and spice (read: diiirrty!) for me. I mean who can resist a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and treats his lady like a queen while unleashing his inner *coughs* beast! Ernagawd! They must exist somewhere, right?!

Thank goodness Kaitlyn and Payton hit my kindle this week. They’ll be the best distraction from the need to raid the fridge. *mutters* Pesky feelings!

Ahhhh! I read this entire story in one sitting, that’s how excited I was to dive into Kennedy Fox’s newest Circle B Ranch book. I seriously couldn’t put it down!
The dynamic between main characters, Kane and Ivy, leaves you wanting more after (and during) every chapter. 😩💕 This steamy, forbidden, passionate, and incredibly emotionally charged romance, was truly breathtaking. The obstacles the two characters faced along the way just made their happy ending all the sweeter, not to mention the fact that they came out all the more strengthened and bonded because of them. Plus, the chemistry between these two main characters was not only present, but glaringly obvious, from the first moment they shared the page! Such a brilliant combination!
Oh! I can’t forget to talk about the hot and heavy moments Kane and Ivy had…😏🔥 Dang, the spice between these two is top tier! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love a good age-gap couple, and a nice steamy forbidden secret romance just as much as the next romance reader, and I can confidently say that ”Tempting the Cowboy” is both those things and more! I won’t give away too much, but I will say this: You’ll need an ice pack when reading this book because the heat between Kane and Ivy will for sure make you hot under the collar… In a good way though! 😝❤️ Lol
Kennedy Fox is/are and always will be a must read duo for me, and this book is a perfect example of why that is. Like they always do, they depicted a perfect balance of strengths and vulnerabilities in these characters, giving them real life emotions, pains, heartaches and struggles. A truly fantastic job of making these characters come alive on the page.
Like I said before, I more than enjoyed every word of this book and couldn’t put this story down from the second I received it. It has absolutely lived up to the utter perfection that usually encompasses all the other Bishop and Circle B Ranch books that came before it! Absolute perfection! 👌🏻❤️ Although, I would expect nothing less from the story of one of Jackson and Kiera’s boys though! 😂😘
Long story short, Kennedy Fox did a fantastic job and I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy of “Tempting the Cowboy”! I absolutely need to add this masterpiece to my Kennedy Fox shelf! All the Bishops get front row, centre seats on there and this book is no different!
This book is absolutely going down as one of my top reads of 2022! 😏
This book gets five very well deserved stars from me! (No surprise! 😂💖) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ok, I had devoured “Claiming the Cowboy” to quickly dive into this book because Kane deserves some goodness and love.

Oh boy, does he find it in spades with his best friend’s sister…who was also his former love interest he “lost” to his brother, Knox. I digress, but this is about Kane and Ivy, and I couldn’t have fallen more in love with them and their love story. And the Bishop clan just gets bigger and funnier with each book.

I swear I needed to be resuscitated because Kennedy Fox did not label this too hot to handle!
