Circle B Ranch #6
Winning the Cowboy
Working on the ranch and settling down is all Grayson’s ever wanted in life. When he meets the woman who could make that a reality, he learns she hates him with every fiber of her being.
He knows she’s being unreasonable since their bickering is the hottest foreplay he’s ever had.
Mackenzie Bishop’s an elementary school teacher and can tolerate a lot until it comes to Grayson. He may act like he doesn’t remember what he did, but Kenzie will never forget. Not when the memory of that night still lingers in her mind years later.
She denies her attraction, but she can’t hide it forever, especially when there’s no escaping him.
Although she refuses to give him the time of day, they form a truce and everything changes—just not in the way he expected.
**Winning 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.**

I’ll never not be a complete sucker for these Bishop books. Of course I devoured this in one sitting and way faster than I thought I would!
Gosh the prologue made me see Grayson in a total new light. It was weird to recall him from previous books now knowing what made him move to town. It also made me feel really sorry for him and frustrated/mad at how Kenzie treated him.
But still the guy never gave up. He let her fire, attraction filled hatred fuel him to keep trying and break her walls down. It was only a matter of time indeed. I loved that about him!
Winning the Cowboy was fun, super entertaining, a bit frustrating at times but so good. It was a slow burn and once they got together it was 👌🏻 spicy.
What I didn’t love: I’ve been noticing lately is that too many things/ plotlines are sort of being repetitive. That doesn’t really take away my enjoyment of the books. I love these characters and this world and I’m always excited to read the next one and see how the next Bishop will fall in love and with who! But I do kind of wish some stories wouldn't be so similar to previous books in the series and the BB series.

Grayson came to Circle B Ranch to start over and to get away from his old life. From the moment he has arrived he has been drawn to Kenzie, however, Kenzie views him as the enemy instantly.
I loved the back and forth between Grayson and Kenzie from the start. From the banter to the pranks it was fantastic. While Kenzie may have acted like she hated him, there was tons of chemistry between them. I loved Kenzie. She is so caring, but she also can hold her own and isn’t one to back down. Grayson is swoony. He is caring, sweet, protective and just all around amazing. I love that he will jump at any chance to help Kenzie and even spend time with her (even when she hated him).
I loved seeing them go from enemies to more, especially once Grayson found how why Kenzie hated him from the moment they met. Their relationship is sweet and spicy once they give in to how they truly feel about each other.
If you’re looking for a small town, enemies to lovers romance this is one to read!

Kenzie’s hated ranch hand, Grayson ever since he started working for her family 6-years ago. Little does Grayson know, Kenzie has a reason why she hates him, but of course Kenzie’s remained tight-lipped about her reasons.
Unlike Kenzie, Grayson’s been attracted to her employer’s school-teacher daughter and despite her clear hatred for him, she’s irresistible to Grayson. They can’t help but play pranks on each other constantly and everyone but them seems to know there’s a spark between them.
To end their feud, Grayson propositions Kenzie: if she attends his family reunion with him, he’ll stop the pranks and against Kenzie’s better judgment, she agrees. And things get a little more than complicated when it’s just the two of them…sharing a hotel room.
Winning the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox is book 6 in the Circle B Ranch series. I love enemies to lovers romances and I was so excited to read Grayson & Kenzie’s romance since it was hinted at in book 5. This series is such a comfort read for me and this was no exception. I think an additional 50 pages or so would’ve helped develop their relationship more, but I still had a great time reading this one. 4/5 stars.

Oh my god the epilogue had me like 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I loved finally getting kenzie and graysons love story!! What started off as a hardcore enemies to lovers ends up in the swooniest of romances!
Ever since they met, Kenzie hated Grayson but he never knew why. After going back and forth with prancing each other, they decide to call a truce & be civil. When the opportunity arises for Grayson to spend more time with Kenzie, he takes it & doesn’t realize it might be what gives them a chance after all! The enemies to lovers build up went on for many books which is why I would recommend reading them in order!
I really loved Grayson! He may be a top cowboy for me😉
Spice: 🌶🌶
Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
One bed

Finally!!!! I feel like I’ve been waiting for Grayson and Kenzie’s story FOREVER, but it was worth it!
Winning the Cowboy follows Grayson and Mackenzie and is an enemies to lovers, cowboy romance. While this is a standalone, I would recommend reading the Circle B Ranch series in order for the full experience. This romance has been teased a lot in the previous 5 books in the series!
When Grayson begins working on the Bishop Family ranch and is introduced to Kenzie, it’s hate at first sight. She can’t stand him, and he can’t stand to be away from her. Kenzie promises that she’ll never forget what happened between them, but Grayson can’t remember a thing.
A prank war ensues between the two of them and it’s getting harder and harder for Kenzie to deny her attraction. When they form a truce everything changes, just not in the way either of them was expecting.
This book has everything you would want in a romance; tension, banter, a slow burn pace, and incredible steamy scenes. If you’re a fan of romance novels you’ll love this book, and if you’re a fan of Kennedy Fox you know exactly what to expect: a swoon worthy romance!
I can’t recommend this series enough, and it’s definitely not your mother’s cowboy romance!!

YES YES YES! This enemies to lovers book is pure FIRE!! Everything from taunting to banter to teasing is super sassy goodness! Kenzie and Grayson have been doing this love hate dance for YEARS and it finally comes to a head with some steamy hawttttt sexy times that burn up my kindle! This is a shorter read but I love catching up with the Bishop couples of books past and their blossoming families. Kenzie and Grayson deliver all the love bug goodness that makes my heart swell! I keep coming back to Circle B ranch for all the Cowboys and their alpha ways. Love love love these books!!

the hostility between grayson and kenzie is really just one-sided but freaking explosive. the sexual tension can be cut with a knife. grayson have always wondered what made kenzie react to him with such hatred and anger but for the past five years, she has never spoken about it and didn't bother to. even though she's extremely attracted to grayson, she's determined to not fall for his easy-going and sunny personality.
grayson's sweet and sorely misunderstood by kenzie. something happened in the past and it totally spoiled things for them until kenzie finds out the truth. overall, it's just a light-hearted novel with no "final drama" so i definitely appreciated that.

These Bishops are going to be the death of me. Stubborn to the boot, but swoony as hell…. And I’m not just talking about the Bishop Boys. These Bishop women are giving those men a damn run for their money!!
In My Own Words:
Winning The Cowboy is the sixth book in the Circle B Ranch Series by Kennedy Fox. If you’re new to the Circle B Ranch series, Grayson and Mackenzie’s story can be read as a standalone. But let it be a warning, this series is highly addictive and you’re going to want to come back for me so leave room on your calendar for a Kennedy Fox binge!
Grayson Harding wants nothing in the world but to understand why Mackenzie Bishop loathes his very existence. Since the moment he met her it was an instant attraction for him, and sneering eyes set in his direction from her. He’ll do whatever it takes to break through her icy exterior. Even if that means completely humiliating himself.
Mackenzie Bishop thought she found her soulmate in the eyes of a stranger. But in the light of the morning, she was forced to realize you don’t find your soulmate in the middle of a bar.
Now, years later, Kenzie is determined to fight her heart's greatest battle. She refuses to let Grayson Harding in and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep him out of her head and out of her heart. Even if it means up-scaling the level of humility to prove to everyone around her, she doesn’t have feelings for this man. But she’s about to learn, you can’t keep a secret for very long if you’re a Bishop.
My Thoughts:
HOLY SWOON!!! Kenzie and Grayson’s story is fueled with back and forth banter, endless pranks, and all the small town enemies to lovers vibes! I’ve been waiting for Grayson’s story and getting to the root cause of why Kenzie feels this unspeakable amount of hate towards the poor man. It has to be said, I loved the hell out of Mackenzie's character! Her stubborn streak and inability to forgive and forget where the past is concerned. And I don’t blame her for not wanting to forget. Her side of the story is brutal and I’d hate Grayson too if I were put in her position.
Then we have Grayson, the man with the irresistible charm, a ranch hand’s body, and all the swoon to lock up a delicious package. He gave just as much as Mackenzie threw at him. The banter and anger induced prank war had me clutching my sides from laughing so damn hard. Kenzie even brought back some old school prank moves involving a bed, some rope, and an unsuspecting alcohol induced male ego. I think I died laughing!
I couldn’t have asked for a more relatable personality from both characters. Kenzie is stubborn as hell and refuses to let her guard down around Grayson, whereas Grayson is swoony and refuses to put a shield up around Mackenzie. The two are yin and yang. I knew the moment they finally came together, it would be an explosion… and I was right. Everything they went through was worth the moment they finally came together. PURE FIRE! These two were sexy as sin! I couldn’t get enough!
Now let’s discuss the main reason why I keep coming back for more Bishops! The strong family bond and the chemistry throughout this series was my greatest weakness. I love romances that incorporate not only those pesky meddling family members but also members of a family that have an unbreakable bond. The Bishop family bond has yet to be broken and I honestly don’t think there is anything that can get between these family members. It would take a catastrophic moment to put a wedge in there, and I’m hoping like hell we never see this family crumble. I can feel that bond growing stronger and stronger with every new member added to the family. It’s unreal the amount of charisma Kennedy Fox puts in their novels. I fall a little deeper every single time I pick up a novel from them.. I never felt the need to get in my truck and drive to a fictional world as much as I do now…
I love books that incorporate more than just romance and the Bishop world flawlessly brings everything I love about romance to life right before my eyes. If you haven��t had a chance to dive into the wonderful bishop world, you can start that world today with The Bishop Brother’s series! Trust me, you won’t be sorry!
Overall, Winning The Cowboy by Kennedy Fox was everything I expected it to be plus so much more. If you are a fan of swoony enemies to lovers romance with a second chance twist, don’t hesitate on picking up Grayson and Mackenzie's story!! This one is a definite MUST READ!!

Winning the Cowboy is the sixth book in Kennedy Fox's Circle B Ranch Series and is Kenzie and Grayson's story. Their story is the most entertaining out of the series so far! Kenzie and Grayson have been circling each other for the last few books, and I have been so eager to find out more. Their chemistry and banter was hilarious and two through off some serious hate to love vibes!
Grayson's determination to win Kenzie over is what I loved the most. No matter what she threw at him, he persevered and did not give up. My heart ached for him and all he endured before arriving on Circle B Ranch, but he found a new family with the Bishops and fit right in.
Kenzie is a schoolteacher and has a big heart, but she is also a Bishop and is stubborn to a fault. Her personality is all fire and sass and she certainly kept Grayson on his toes!
The character development in this was fantastic! Both Kenzie and Grayson, started out on the immature side with their outrageous pranks but in the end, when they admit their faults and give into their feelings it opened up a vulnerable side to them that was so honest and raw.
Although this one was not my favorite of the series, I can never ever get enough of the Bishops. Kennedy Fox writes the best cowboy romances. They are sweet, steamy, and entertaining. If you like the enemies-to-lovers and small town romance tropes give this one a read!

I have been waiting for Grayson and Kenzie’s story for forever! They have been my most anticipated Circle B Ranch story 😍 and boy oh boy did I love every minute of it. I knew when they got to the reunion, it was going to blow up big time! I couldn’t wait 😏 As the story unfolded and the truth came out it was beautiful! Love love loved it! Thank you Kennedy Fox for writing another favourite of mine!
August 13, 2021
I felt like I have been waiting for this story to be released for FOREVER and FINALLY Kennedy Fox gave us Grayson and MacKenzie's story!
It's an enemies-to-lovers story with a twist. These two characters have kept me entertained in the previous stories and they went all out in this one.
From their antics trying to one upping the other to their sexy, heated moments, they were so much fun to read!
I enjoyed this story and that epilogue and the bonus epilogue. I must admit, I got a little emotional with them.
If you haven't started this series yet, you are SERIOUSLY missing out!

Explosive, chaotic, passionate, prank-filled, delightful read! Kennedy Fox absolutely knocked this story out of the park! I have been desperate to get to the bottom of Kenzie's attitude towards Grayson and it was every bit as juicy and devastating and dramatic as it needed to be! Gah, I'm ready to just turn around and read it again, it was that delicious!
August 12, 2021
Love, love, love this book...have waited so long for Grayson and Kenzie and this book did not disappoint. Swallowed in confusion, Grayson keeps trying....swallowed in heart break, Kennedy continues the can't stand him routine. This book has all of the feels...grab this LOL, heart breaking, yet heart warming romance and see what antics they get up to. ❤❤❤❤❤
August 18, 2021
I finished this entire book while waiting at the hospital today. 😂 but gah it was so sweet.
I never read a book in one day, but I sure did devour this sweet story of Kenzie and Greyson. I figured out pretty quickly who Kenzie was in Greyson's past, but I love how everything was resolved and it didn't feel like everything was falling apart. It was a quick and fast paced story where the girl gets the cowboy and I loved every second of it! I also love that there was an element of fostering involve. As someone who is going to have to adopt one day, I appreciated that stance!

This book is everything you love in an enemies to lovers story! The pranks, the banter, just everything between these two will have you glued to the pages waiting to see what happens next. It may be a slow-burn but the sparks are flying from the very beginning and when Grayson and Kenzie finally combust they will set you on fire. This book is filled with a little bit of everything, you will laugh, swoon, and probably get a little frustrated but in a good way. I swear I didn't want this book to end and was more sad than normal when it did. I could just go on and on about these two, but I don't want to give the story away because this is definitely one you NEED to read for yourself!
August 12, 2021
Enemies to lovers and second chance romance all in one book!! Grayson and Kenzie's chemistry was on fire!! You don't want to miss out on this book!!! Oh and that bonus epilogue 🥰

OMG! I think I have my new favorite Circle B couple.
I devoured this book and was addicted already from the first chapter onwards!
Grayson and Kenzie have been enemies since the day they met. No one really knows why. Not even Grayson himself!
Both characters are soo good! I just loved them from the beginning! I wasn‘t sure about them before reading their book because they hated eachother for a very long time.
The steam in this book was very very high!
I just loved it!

Book 6 in the Circle B Ranch series and it is finally Kenzie and Grayson’s story. I am a sucker for an enemies to lovers romance and this was an awesome read. We have been treated to snippets of their love/hate relationship over the past few books. Loved being able to see why she hated him so much and how hard he tried to win her over and make her his. The chemistry between them was off the charts hot and when they finally acted it on, it was explosive. Loved this story and their HEA.
November 30, 2022
So I think I finally found my fave couple from the Circle B Ranch series! I have been anticipating Kenzie and Grayson’s story every since I saw their spark in an earlier book. This was the perfect book about their story and their backstory was one I didn’t see coming. I could not get enough and this book was over way to soon.
Every time I pick up one of these books about the Bishop family my heart just melts with the love I have for them. When this series eventually ends it will be a sad day for me. This family always makes me smile with the love they have for each other and for everyone around them.
Kenzie and Grayson are just on another level. I thought Gavin and Maize were my favorite but Kenzie and Grayson have taken over. This is a true enemies to lovers story and once you pick it up you will not want to put it down. Yes, you do not have to read these books in order but I HIGHLY encourage it, you will get to see why they have become my favorite couple. Another thing I love about these books is how the authors put so much emotion and rawness in everything they write you can truly feel the emotions coming from the characters and you feel like you are in the story with them.
Cheers, Kennedy Fox, I have been a fan for a long time but this book just took it to another level!
🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧
The steam had been brewing between Kenzie and Grayson since the beginning of the series. I could not wait to listen to their story and hear how it had all played out. I read this book when it first came out but I like going back later and listening to the audio and this one did not disappoint.
Lia Langola is the perfect Kenzie and Tor Thom is great as Grayson. I just know I am going to get something good when I listen to them as the narrators. I know that Kennedy Fox uses them quite a bit for their books but every time they narrate another one of the audiobooks they bring something different to each character. I highly recommend this series and if you want to see how the steam builds between Kenzie and Grayson then you should start this series from the beginning because the tension is out of this world.

Kennedy Fox brings an emotionally charged and sinfully sexy enemies to lovers small town romance in Winning the Cowboy. Grayson and McKenzie's chemistry can burn towns and their happily ever after was swoon overload.
Grayson came to Eldorado for a fresh start after his heart was broken and Circle B ranch didn't only give him a job but a new family. He is attracted to McKenzie Bishop, the elementary school teacher but due to some reason, she hates him intensely. He isn't one to back down. And when the whole past with the huge misunderstanding comes out, Kenzie cannot stay away anymore.
The enemies to lovers tension between Grayson and Kenzie is so hot! They always try to out prank each other and those make me laugh so hard. These sexually tensed encounters also make me feel restless in anticipation! Grayson is such an amazing guy! Gorgeous. Kind. Honest. Protective. Charming. So much sex appeal. He teases Kenzie mercilessly but also always tries to keep her happy. Kenzie is a firecracker but also a real sweetheart. She kept Grayson at a distance and always tried to make his life a trouble till she didn't know the truth. She was hurt and she was taking it out on him. But once the truth was out and everything made sense, they surrendered to their feelings. I was reunited with the whole Bishop family and their extended families and as usual, reading about little new informations about their lives made me super happy!
Winning the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox was a simple yet impactful small town romance that was full of sizzling hot chemistry and swoonworthy feels.

After being cheated on, Grayson moves to Circle B ranch to start his life over. When he meets Kenzie, he’s immediately attracted to her but she won’t give him the time of day. She acts like she hates him for something he has done but he doesn’t know her. Can he convince her to tell him what it is so he can make it up to her and give him a second chance?

I have been so excited waiting to read Winning the Cowboy since reading the last Circle B Ranch book because I knew Grayson and Kenzie's story would be fun, wild and crazy and it didn't disappoint one bit. I think Grayson may be a saint after putting up with Kenzie's pranks, hurtful comments and bodily harm constantly, yet still wanting to be with her for over 6 years. Grayson's back story is sad and to see the constant rejection Kenzie gives makes you just want to give Grayson the love he so deserves. He can be crass at times but it's all in fun and games, and he has such an easy going manner, he definitely had me rooting for him to find someone who would love him the way he deserved to be.
Kenzie is kind and her reactions to Grayson all come from a place of hurt that unfortunately could have been resolved years earlier had she shared why she was so mad at him. Thankfully Grayson worms his way into Kenzie's heart but not before some very crazy & smelly pranks occur. I laughed so much while reading this book, these two definitely provide quite the entertainment and I think this may be my favorite Circle B Ranch book so far.
I highly recommend reading all the books in this series even though this can be read as a standalone, you will learn all the family dynamics as each book adds to their lives. Each book provides you with lots of laughs, angst, steamy hot moments, tender and sweet moments, plus so much more, all together making you fall in love with the Bishops and their significant others. Winning the Cowboy can be read without reading the others and can still be enjoyed just as much, either way you read is a win!!! Be prepared, once you start reading this book it's impossible to stop. There are lots of sweet surprises thrown in as well that make you fall head over heels for this sweet couple!!!

This book was so much fun!! I loved the flirty, playful pranks that Kenzie and Grayson pulled on each other. I have to say this one is probably one of my favorite Kennedy Fox books, right up there with Bossing the Cowboy! I just loved these two together. They had explosive chemistry and it burned up the pages! This was the fastest I have read a Kennedy Fox book because I couldn't put it down. I had to know why Kenzie was always so mad at Grayson! If you've read any of the past Circle B Ranch books then you know that there's been something brewing between these two for a long time. Finally we find out what makes Kenzie so mad. I enjoyed the backstory for Grayson, it helped to grow his character, as we didn't know a whole lot about him. As always I enjoyed seeing all the past characters and catching up with what's going on in their world. I also loved that this book touched on fostering kids, something I wish more authors would talk about. Not everyone wants a biological child or is able to have one and adoption is a wonderful resource.
Kennedy Fox has such a easy flow to their books that draws you in and you really get to enjoy the wonderful writing. I would definitely recommend Winning the Cowboy!

Oh my stars. I have been dying to know why Grayson was always under attack from Kenzie and needless to say, things got twisted and it is six years till they realize the reasons why they became enemies. I hadn’t laughed so hard when it came to the pranks these two pulled on each other. We get to see more from the moments we have seen from the prior books, including the night of Ethan and Haper’s wedding. I was dead. Legit, dying laughing so hard I had tears.
As both have these building feelings for each other, there is just that underlying issue that is always there and my heart hurts so much for the reason behind it too. When things come to light, it is like the flood gates open and it is intense, passionate and so much more. What I adored is how much they supported each other and so much more. How Grayson helped Kenzie realize her dreams in so many ways.
One thing I can say, this series is one of those ones that will stick with you forever because how can you not love the boys of Circle B Ranch? They love with their whole heart even through the really rough moments. Grayson is right there with the rest of the men. He loves hard and it is really beautiful how much he fights for Kenzie throughout this book. Winning the Cowboy is one of those stories that is perfectly blended within this world and I never want to leave. The sweet, the sassy and the swoonworthy, the Bishop family will give you a run for your money!

FINALLY the anticipation is over!!!! This enemies to lover was filled with quirky comebacks, sizzling chemistry, and hilarious pranks. Kenzie and Grayson have surpassed most of the other Circle B couples by a long shot. I always knew there had to be something behind the story of why Kenzie despised Grayson but nothing could have prepared me more than the true story of how their journey started.
The moment Grayson meet Kenzie there had been a spark that he could not understand but unfortunately for him, Kenzie would not give him the time of day. She made it a point to not give into any temptation he threw her way. They fought, joked, and pranked each other just to get under the others skin. Grayson always tried to get her to reveal the reason she hated him but she never gave in. But when the truth is finally uncovered, it could change the perception the both had of one another and the real reason why she stayed away from him.
You will NOT want to miss this wonderful and entertaining story. Kennedy Fox certainly does not disappoint you with the much needed story between Kenzie and Grayson that we all have been waiting for.

Oh my goodness! Winning the Cowboy was sweet, entertaining and sexy. I absolutely loved it. I was so excited to get this book because I knew Kenzie’s and Grayson’s chemistry was going to be off the charts. The sexual tension was super charged! Oh man 🥵
For 6 years, Kenzie holds a grudge against Grayson! Haha! Talk about a woman scorned. Without giving away too many details, it is understandable why she’s so angry, her ego was hurt and she felt humiliated. All that definitely made the enemies to lovers trope so enjoyable. The pranks they pull on each are hilarious and the hot banter just adds to the intense passion between them. I read this whole story with smile on my face because they chemistry between Kenzie and Grayson was so steamy, you knew eventually she would fall hard.
This story was cute, funny, sexy, and intense at times, but so worth the read. I love the Bishop family, and every glimpse we get is so wonderful. The drama is brewing between Knox & Kane and can’t wait to find out, who Hadleigh chooses. If you haven’t already met the Bishops, what are you waiting for??!!

(B R E A K I N G N E W S… we interrupt this review with a quick PSA to advise that whilst Winning the Cowboy is Book 6 in the Circle B Ranch series it can easily (times infinity) be read as a standalone.)
*coughs*
Right, where was I…?
*screams*
That prologue! It was like a 💡 going off! All became clear.
*rolls eyes*
Why are you scratching your head? Uh-huh, okay. *nods* I get that. Let me elucidate…
As an avid reader of this series, I’ve been itching to know why Mackenzie has had such a stick up her butt when it comes to Grayson despite the sizzling attraction between them.
At last all has become clear – hence the (necessary) screaming. *snorts*
Hello Enemies-To-Lovers, I’ve been expecting you! *rubs hands*
Pranks and sparks fly! And Grayson is just so… *makes grabby hands*. He has all this emotion and stuff just simmering beneath the surface with Kenzie being the key to unlocking it all.
I loved how strong and independent Kenzie was. Brought up in the bosom of the Bishop clan means she won’t settle for anything less than her heart’s desire. Too right, I say!
Between thee and me, I honestly thought I was gonna need resuscitated at one point. *smirks* Whaaa? Okay, okay, I’ll hush up. *mimes zipping lips*
*holds breath*
I. Can’t. Do. It.
*gasps*
KF always delivers when you’re looking for a hit of spicy deliciousness, banter and a HEA (unless it’s a duet) with a side of angsty goodness.

I love a feisty enemies to lovers storyline and this one did not disappoint. Kennedy Fox has been teasing us with the story of Kenzie and Grayson and I couldn’t wait to start their story.
Kenzie and Grayson have been fighting with each for six years, literally from the moment he started working on the ranch. But when their need to one up each other finally reaches a limit, Grayson asks for a truce. But for Kenzie, it's hard for her to agree on it. The two actually have a past. One Grayson doesn’t remember.
I love the taunting and teasing they did back and forth with each other. It was super hot and the angst was absolutely delicious. Kenzie has the classic Bishop stubbornness and Grayson is the right match to go toe to toe with her. I found myself laughing, gasping, and shaking my head several times throughout the book. This is classic Bishop and Kennedy Fox magic. We get updates about other Bishops and their families which I love. It’s all interconnected and I love this crazy family.
Knox and Kane’s story is up next. The juicy tidbits that they left us is such a tease. I can’t wait to see what they think of next.

Circle B Ranch is always a welcome place to visit, especially with all the hot men!
MacKenzie (Kenzie) and Grayson have a challenging relationship, they battle each other and make each others lives a living hell on some days. But, the underlying spark is always there.
This story made me laugh more than the Circle Ranch stories, must have been the competitions between them.
Kenzie hates Grayson and it seems like hes supposed to know why. He of course lusts for her and has no idea why she doesnt feel the same for him.
With their story you get a glimpse at some familiar storys and see what the other couples have been up to and its always a welcome part of the story.
Their lives come to a change at the annual single mens auction and a pact is created to help each other. Will this be enough for them to finally see what everyone else has been seeing?

Winning The Cowboy is book 7 in the Circle B Ranch Series ) and once you start reading there is no way you will be able to put it down . If you have read the prior books you will already be familiar with Grayson and Kenzie as well as the fact that Kenzie absolutely hates Grayson . In this book we finally get more details into why that is . I suggest starting with the first book as every single one is so addicting , you won’t be able to put them down . I also love starting at the beginning of the series , as all the characters are intertwined in the series . Kennedy is truly one of my very favorite authors, she never disappoints. All her books are phenomenal. Winning The Cowboy has so much steam , off the charts chemistry, wonderful characters and trust me when I say , it will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end and leave you craving more .
