Bull riding is all Gavin’s known for years, but when it’s time to retire, he can’t let go of the reckless lifestyle. He finds a job that brings him to a small-town Texas ranch and face-to-face with the woman who snuck out after their one-night stand. She can pretend she’s over him, but he’s not letting her go that easily. Maize Bishop spends her days cooking and baking for her family’s bed and breakfast. The last thing she has time for is a relationship, especially when there are no single men within a hundred-mile radius. When a mysterious newcomer flirts with her over drinks, she gives in to his mesmerizing green eyes and goes home with him. Now that he works for her family’s ranch, she’ll avoid him at all costs. There are only so many places to hide, and keeping her distance is easier said than done. After months of giving her space, Gavin’s tired of waiting for Maize to admit what he knows they both want—a second round between the sheets. It may only take eight seconds to win a championship, but he'll prove to her that he can go all night long. She’s too young, he’s too arrogant, and together, they’re electric—the perfect recipe for disaster.

I’ve been a devoted fan of the Bishop family since the Bishop Brothers Series first released. This second generation of Bishops featured in the Circle B Ranch Series are as interesting as their parents. After the previous novel introduced me to Maize and Gavin’s back story, I just couldn’t wait to finally read Wrangling the Cowboy. This novel didn’t disappoint and is my new favorite in the series. It had me laughing one moment and swooning in the next instant. I was entranced by this well-matched couple!
After their magical one-night-stand, Maize is determined to ignore the tangible connection she felt toward Gavin and keep denying his advances. She’s incredibly driven in her work as the cook at the B&B and has no place to let her heart open up to some cowboy passing through town. She’s just so sassy and the banter with Gavin is delicious to witness. As much as she wants to keep rejecting him, there’s just this undeniable link between them and she feels drawn to his undeniable appeal.
Gavin is a fine mix of charming, alluring and so virile. He’s in his mid-thirties and tired of playing the field. He’s determined to prove to Maize that their one night together was something special. I adored how he doesn’t abandon his courtship despite all his failures at getting the girl of his dreams. He knows what he wants and what they could be together.
Their story is truly so romantic and progresses over the span of a year, so you can say it’s slow burn and captivating. Every moments between them had me hooked and gave me the sweetest sensations. I couldn’t wait for Maize to admit her defeat and give in to her man! As much as the romance is swoon-worthy, they’re also very passionate and combustible!
All the scenes between Maize and her cousins are truly hilarious and so entertaining. Same thing with the guys teasing each others. As it’s always the case, the Bishops are united and prove once again why they’re one of my absolute favorite fictional family.
Wrangling the Cowboy is exactly the kind of book I expected for this couple. I loved every moments of this read that also gave me more reasons to be excited about the upcoming books in the series. Elle and Kenzie’s stories promise to be wonderful too.
