5 Stealing His Heart Stars!!!

I had the pleasure of reading this book when it was released and LOVED it so much that I decided to listen to it when the audio was released. Ms. Peachwood and Mr. Snow NAILED the characters and brought an entirely new enjoyment to this book. Well, they've done it again. This book is an outstanding start to a new series by the duo known as Kennedy Fox. And this time we get cowboys with tight jeans and oh my goodness I was captivated the moment I started this book. It starts off with a Prologue that almost broke me. I wasn't expecting it that's for sure, and it totally sets the tone of who River is and the whys of how she lives her life. My heart literally hurt for her and I absolutely cried. For all intents and purposes River and Alex should have never met, but when they both end up in Key West for two weeks of fun in the sun and hopefully some sexy times between the sheets, and while there's an initial attraction between them, she has no patience for Alex's cheesy pickup lines. But one day, when River comes to the aid of Alex and his best friend Dylan they just can't fight their crazy chemistry. "Alex looks at me with so much fire in his eyes, it almost burns my skin." And so begins two weeks of some of the best and sexiest weeks either of them have ever experienced. And what was supposed to be a friends with benefits kind of thing, real feelings begin to be felt. I could feel how our H/h felt for each other. They've both had such a rough go round in the romance arena so to find someone that they connected with on a visceral level was beautiful. Fast forward a few months and River has come to Texas to see Alex and she's got a surprise for him! I absolutely LOVED how he didn't question her and how he was not afraid to admit his feelings this time. This book had so much levity while also being dirty and sexy at the same time. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't just them jumping back in bed together. I admired Alex so much more because he was willing to do whatever it takes to make this work. Along the way we meet the entire Bishop family and all their dynamics. And when the Bishop boys are involved you know there's soon to be some raucous fun! The fact that this family opens their arms to River, after a rough start, made me fall in love with all the Bishops. It's clear who runs this family and it's not who you think it is! In the end, this book is exactly what I was hoping it was going to be. Kennedy Fox knows how to deliver a book with a punch that drew me, had me simmering and then gave me all the emotions plus some.

so boring

spoilers ahead!! the story started out interesting, even cute. their meeting in Florida was fun, everything was good up until he convinced her to move south. that happened about half way through the book. absolutely nothing happened the entire rest of the book. i finished it because i convinced myself there had to be more to the story. there wasn't. huge waste of time. the one good thing was listening to Aiden. the h was annoying, whiny, spoiled, weak and stupid. yuk. the H came up with a great proposal and right up till the words leave his mouth she can't figure out what is happening. seriously. just don't bother.

My Two Pennies

Love a southern drawl and these narrators were spot on. Ride ‘em Cowboy! Alex is THE Bishop man that has won my heart. River’s story breaks my heart but she is so strong and I love the career she chose in life. When a vacation turns into so much more I am wishing to have experiences like that and that bucket list... hello! I was in tears at times both happy and sad. Getting to know the whole Bishop family is great and seeing how close knit and loving they are is beautiful. I cannot wait to hear the rest of the boys stories the Doctor is in next and I’m curious to see what happens. This is my unbiased and voluntary review

All around GREAT

Loved this story. This book kept my interest from start to finish! Loved the narration also. Im from Louisiana so a lot of southern narration are over done with way too much country slang this was very well done.

Weak heroine

Seems all the books I've read/listened to lately contain very weak heroines who are easily persuaded by whoever they happened to be talking to...<sigh>... then try to control the situation with "boundaries" and "what ifs". This one wore me out with her insecurities and lamenting. But, this story is perfectly coordinated with the perfect narrators---Savannah Peachwood's soft, sweet voice is perfect for this whiny heroine. Aiden Snow is always great---a little gruff for this younger cowboy but still fits, This is a story that is totally feasible and probably happens often so don't expect a mystery or exciting, dramatic story, just sweet romance, a little angsty with an HEA. Kinda drawn out, too.

Meet-cute

This story was a cute concept and I enjoyed the meet-cute but I got bored towards the end.

One Look is all it took

When you're a farmer and a reformed bachelor never in a million years do you ever think someone is going to tame you. Let the games begin this a true romance lots of love and laughter and tears too

Couldn’t finish

I couldn’t handle listening to the female narrator doing the males voice made me cringe every time. Aiden did not disappoint as usual he is the reason performance rating is so high.

Sweet Texas romance

Perfect characters, sweet story, swooning and laughter. You need to read this!! So much fun.
