Billionaire Ranchers (First Generation) #2

Keeping Her Billionaire Cowboy CEO

Rate this book
As new CEO of Bolton Farms, Adam Tucker is in his element. Running a billion-dollar corporation is what he was meant to do. He’s been working to make it to this point his whole career and he knows this business inside and out.

Faye Wilson loves life on a ranch. She's anything but a city girl. She isn’t impressed by any man who can’t hold his own on a horse, either. Running events normally would be a job for a corporate type, but Faye does it well without the backing of a big management team.

And just like that, Adam has an unexpected issue on his plate. An issue he signed himself up for. He only has two weeks to pull an event together that would normally take much longer. And Faye Wilson isn’t making the process easier. At all.

Butting heads with Faye over the details of the event is exhausting. Adam's frustrated, but he can't seem to be angry at her. And he’s just the type she can’t stand. A corporate elite who thinks throwing money at any problem will make it go away.

In spite of their differences, Adam wants to spend time with her. He craves her presence. After making a fool of himself in a rodeo contest only a true cowboy could do well, she agrees to one date.

But can a CEO and a country girl get along? Maybe even fall in love?

One fantastic romance of a city boy come to a ranch to help set up for a competition that was to place in two weeks instead of two months. He was the new CEO Bolton Farms, Adam Tucker, and he was going to have to work with the event coordinator, Faye Wilson of Hickory Hollow. Bolton Farms and Hickory Hollow were trying trying to launch a deal together. Adam and Faye had a dynamite chemistry whenever they were around each other, but Faye would not let her guard down to trust a city boy, so none of the other cowboys would not either. It was insta-love for Adam, so his heart was slowly breaking. There were many twists and turns with a great deal of intrigue throughout this story as Adam and Faye work toward their happy ever after.

This is such a wonderful series! I am really loving it! Adam, a city boy, is the CEO of Bolton Farms and Faye is the event coordinator of Hickory Hollow. Together they need to set up a competition in two weeks. As they worked together, their chemistry became obvious. But Faye didn't let her guard down and was reluctant to trust Adam. As a result, the other cowboys didn't trust him either. Adam really likes Faye and does everything he can to change her mind. I love that he doesn't give up. The storyline was well-written and intriguing and flowed very nicely. There were also plenty of plot twists to keep me guessing and turning the pages to see what would happen. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one!

Adam Tucker is the new CEO of Bolton Farms. When he has to go to the Hickory Hollow Ranch for organizational purposes, he wants to swoop in, save the day, and be done with it, going back to the city, having shown to everybody that he was the right choice as CEO. That was before he met Faye Wilson, the event planner of Hickory Hollow. Though he falls head over heels in love with her, she is reluctant to share the feelings, being certain that long-distance relationships are doomed to fail. Fortunately, Adam does not give in easily…
This story was great. Adam is the sweetest guy, ready to do anything to show Faye how much he loves and values her. Though Faye made his life quite difficult, she was just afraid of getting hurt. I wish everybody to enjoy this love story as much as I did ☺.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ranch girl and the city slicker

Faye and Adam were like oil and water, he was slicked up city ceo throwing money around and she was fiery down to earth country girl loving horses and the ranch. When a mistake had been made for the date on a huge event, Faye went storming into Adam the new ceo, asking how they would get the get things put together in Two Weeks vs the original two months. Telling him he had to help, since it was his mistake. So city boy was thrown into helping prepare for the huge event on the ranch, if only she wasn’t so enchanting and totally out of reach.
I’m loving this series and I really like how this author writes. She’s clean and fun and has good humor thrown in too. If you like handsome cowboys ( or even wanna-be cowboys), intelligent beautiful sassy women and clean romance this author is a great fit.

Faye had guts confronting Adam in his CEO office. He as a little too arrogant thinking he could easily put together an event that had accidentally been pushed up two months in advance. She judges him right away thinking he’s selfish and has too much money. Faye teaches Adam a bit about how to be a cowboy and along the way develops feelings for him, but decides to settle for playboy Brady, who only wants her because she’s the type of girl he should settle down with even if he can’t stop flirting. I was disgusted that she would kiss Brady even though she decided Adam is the one she wants. She is incredibly stubborn and won’t consider a long distance relationship even though a few hours away isn’t that far.

This was a cute story about a city slicker and a cowgirl who didn’t get along at first but for some reason were intrigued by each other. I loved the tension between the main characters and how Faye didn’t think things would work because of their different backgrounds but I loved how Adam didn’t give up. I liked how by the end of the book they were both willing to give up something that was important to them in order to be together. I thought this was a fun, cute read and that April did a great job on the story.

I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.

Keeping Her. Billionaire Cowboy CEO

This was another great book by April Murdock.. Adam a very wealthy an was just given the CEO's job at Bolton Farms by his best friend. Faye worked for the opposing ranch as the co ordinator for the summer festival. Brady was the local vet and worked at both ranches. She had a crush on Brady till she met Adam and then she could not make up her mind who she wanted. This was a great love story with lots of innuendos on both parties. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

This story shows that true love can happen anywhere, two different types of people can fall into love. I love how this story opened up Adams eyes to their is more in the world then just being a CEO of a company, at the same time it opened up Faye eyes too. I would love to see if there is another book off them.

Faye and Adam are nothing alike and she sees him and is interested until the whole City Boy element gets in the way - then after trying to work together and him taking the lead and misleading from her instructions the whirl wind starts up and keeps going - another great read - I really enjoyed revisiting with the other characters from the first book in the series!

Adam and Faye are the main characters in this lovely cowboy romance. It is a good quick read. It covers a full event planning at a ranch with a flavor of food, environment and cowboy talk. If you love cowboy romances, you are in for a treat. The characters are etched well and love the feelings depiction throughout for both characters. It is a nice summer read and I would recommend it.

As they say opposites attract and that’s what happens between Adam and Faye. Adam is such a great guy and doesn’t give up easily...he goes after what he wants. Both Adam and Faye have to realize certain things if they want to be together. Sweet story with some twists.

I received this as an ARC and this is my honest and voluntary review.

A cute, funny couple

Adam is now the CEO of Bolton but wasn't ready for Faye to stomp her muddy boots into his office and all over his heart. They are both fighting the attraction until they both plan to make the ultimate sacrifice in a Gift of the Magi type climax. Fear not, there's a happy ending.

Good story

A good story. She is a cowgirl, loves ranching & thinks she'll always live in the country.
He's a city guy, never rode a horse & knows nothing about the country. He arrives@ the ranch in an expensive outfit. He gets dirty & he decides to pitch in & help. Includes some humorous scenes.

A enjoyable story. The characters are opposites that end up falling in love. The story flows well and holds your attention. The characters have amazing chemistry. A great read on a lazy afternoon.

Fiery redhead Faye, due to an event date being moved up from two months to two weeks, is livid and storms into Bolton's office to find Tucker is in this office now. She takes it out on him anyway and the rest is a funny, intense battle to the end...a happily ever after.

Ranching Romance

When city meets country there are always sparks! And this book does not fail. Enjoy a romance that goes every which way but loose, and still ends up surprising you.

Awesome book

I love the setting that April Murdoch picked for this book. It was a different type of adventure and the characters were typical of cowboys. The storyline was unique. Fascinating book.

Another great billionaire “cowboy “ romance. I liked the humor and tension- not exactly enemies but there were plenty of sparks. It was a nice separate yet connected book. I’m anxious to see what will come next.

Great Series

I'm really enjoying this series and getting to know all the characters. I loved Annie and Adam's story. Adam was a city boy and she was a ranch girl. Being from very different worlds was difficult but love seems to find a way. A really great read.

I enjoyed this book filled with ranch events, competitions, and lots of work to go around but also sweet horseback rides and someone who genuinely cares about others. It was nice to see the billionaire as the good guy instead of the one who needed to learn.
