Kiss Me Cowboy: A page-turning follow up to Ride Me Cowboy, book one in the Coyote Creek Ranch series.

by Clare Connelly

Beau Donovan was born to ride bulls—
and born to keep every feeling locked behind a lazy grin and a smart-mouth joke. After a career-halting accident nearly ended everything, he’s clawed his way back to the top of the circuit. The last thing he needs is a distraction.

Enter Bailey James. 
Sharp-tongued. Too curious. Too beautiful. Assigned to shadow Beau for three weeks, she sees through him in a way no one ever has—and that’s the problem. Because Beau’s whole life runs on control of the bull, the crowd, and most importantly, control of himself. And Bailey? She ruins that in seconds.

What starts as a no-strings deal turns into something far more dangerous.
She makes him think about a future he’s never allowed himself to want.
He makes her feel something she swore she’d never risk again.

But when fear, past wounds, and a devastating misunderstanding collide, Beau has to decide whether protecting himself means losing the one woman brave enough to love the man behind the legend. And Bailey must choose between the career she’s built around staying detached…
or the cowboy who’s made her feel alive for the first time in years.

Sparks fly in this passionate, no-strings bull rider romance, perfect for fans of Lyla Sage, Elsie Silver and Maisey Yates.

[Tia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was really cute! Loved getting Beau’s story 🥹 such a cutie pie, I loved the way he interacted with his family and with Bailey. He was so thoughtful and kind. I also really loved all the bull riding scenes, they were interesting and added some great tension to the book.

I really liked the premise of this and I thought Bailey and Beau had great chemistry! It did feel a little bit too insta-lovey for me but the forced proximity does tend to make things move a bit more quickly so I’ll forgive it 😅

I loved seeing all of Beau’s family again and I’m really keen for the next book! Foaming at the mouth for Nash’s story (I hope that’s the next one!)

Thank you so much to the author for providing an advanced reader copy 🤍 all opinions are my own.
