Taming Him by Kennedy Fox | REVIEW!
Synopsis:
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 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 jut be friends. His mama taught him manners after all and his southern blood knows how to be a gentlemen. 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.

My Review:
Right off the bat, I'm sad to say this is the first Kennedy Fox book I am not giving five stars to. It does make me sad but don't get too carried away or mad, my rating is still high.
Taming Him follows Alex Bishop. He is brother to Courtney from the Checkmate Duet Series, Reckless and Effortless. Alex's story is told in two parts. The first part I had a little bit of trouble getting in to. I was reading, it had my attention but there were parts that didn't fully grab all my attention. Maybe it's because I was still stuck in a Checkmate mindset, but I did take some time with the first part. Once I started part two, I flew by it. I mean, adulting did get in the way, it always does, which takes away from my reading time.
Part two was amazing. I felt like I was reading Kennedy Fox again! I loved the story and watching them really get to know one another. Watching River get use to the south, living in an environment she never lived in before was kind of entertaining. In that aspect I knew how she felt from personal experience. I am from New England and lived in Maryland for two years, it was a big change for me, I understood how she felt, they called me a Yankee, a lot!
Alex is sexy and sweet, charming and River is a sassy mama, she puts that cowboy in his place when need be. My reason for giving it only four stars is because there were times where I felt a bit disconnected from the characters. I felt something between them was missing, it just felt a little off. But don't let that fool you, this is a great book. You get to see more from characters that you were introduced to in Drew and Courtney's books. I freaking love Benita! She is a wonderful supporting character and can't wait to see more of her in the upcoming books!
It also makes me excited for the next Bishop Brother. A lot of my book ladies are excited for Jackson's story. I personally am excited for Evan's story. He is the mysterious one. I always fall for the mysterious ones. I freaking adore these authors and Taming Him was a great kickoff to the Bishop Brother's Series!
4 sexy cowboy stars!
