I loved this read about James, a bull rider who is at his prime on the circuit, who comes back home to the ranch after the sudden passing of his dad. His two brothers and him keep the ranch going and for the summer he comes home to help. He meets the new assistant, Sophie, to the vet and ends up sticking his foot in his mouth and Sophie gives it right back. Their next encounter is more tame and apologetic and has both of them feeding the sparks between them. But Sophie has vet school and James has to go back to the circuit after summer...is it a summer fling or could it be something more.
I adored this read, it was sweet and steamy and I loved how it all flowed beautifully without too much drama between them. I loved how mature both of them were, being honest and open and the banter between them was perfect. This read didn’t need over the top drama, miscommunication, lies, secrets, which makes it the perfect romance with steam and an AMAZING read. I LOVED how James wasn’t afraid of his emotions, how mature he was in making his decisions, how he didn’t make an a** of himself and the respect he shows his mama which reflected on how he treated Sophie...refreshing. Sophie was a firecracker and held her own, tit for tat when she was with James and I LOVED how both of them made decisions together, not holding out or hiding from their feelings. Can’t wait for the next one !!!!
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*

Buck Wild by Lauren Landish is the first book in her Bennett Boys Ranch Series. The book is a standalone and doesn´t end with a cliffie.

James Bennett is a rodeo rider. He´s back homebecause circumstances forced him to. He and his brothers Mark and Luke work together at the family ranch.
Sophie is a young woman, fesh from college and about to attend veterinary school. Her passion are pets and livestock. She has asummerjob and this job leads her right to the Bennett ranch. THe first time James and Sophie meet, they clash. He´s overbearing and she´s turned off by his attitude. Firework explodes, but not in the good I can´t let you go way.

Buck Wild is a entertaining read, well written with a great story and fantastic characters. I liked the story and give 4,5 stars.

I have read very few Cowboy romances and I regret that now. Cowboys are sexy!

Not only are Cowboys relatively new to me but so is Lauren Landish so I was especially happy to have discovered a new author (to me), Cowboys, and that this is the first book in the Bennett Boys Ranch series.

I do love a feisty female character and I got that with Veterinary Intern, Sophie Stone. I liked her character, strength and personality and I really liked the chemistry between her and James Bennett. Their chemistry and passion really did jump off of the page.

James is taking a break from professional bull riding to help out on the family ranch after his fathers death and meets Sophie when she, along with her mentor, attend the ranch to assist with a difficult birth. Initially they clash, then the sparks fly.

There are so many great characters within this book and they all felt extremely well developed. I feel that a well written story has well written characters throughout and not just the characters that are the main focal point. Buck Wild really did deliver on this front. In fact, it delivered on all fronts!

The writing flowed really well and I liked the way the story-line developed. The great thing is that there is more to this series because, from what I saw of the rest of this family, this series has a whole lot more to offer.

Sophie is all grown up, and attending the same university her brother, Jake attended. She plans to get an MBA and then her brother in business. An interesting twist of fate in her sophomore year has her changing her major to veterinary studies. Jake is a well known bull rider and travels the country on the rodeo circuit, he's not happy when he sees Sophie delivering the foal of one of his brother's horses.
Sizzling hot, sexy, absolutely fabulous characters that meet under unusual circumstances and fall head over heels. Fascinating plot with interesting twists, and a happily ever after.

I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.

Buck Wild was so HOT!!! Sophie is a very strong-willed woman who is on her way to vet school. She accepts an internship for the summer with Doc. Doc shows her a lot & they have to go out to a local ranch. James Bennett is back home helping on his family's ranch after his dad passes away. When his family needs Doc to come out & help with a horse, he meets Sophie & isn't exactly polite to her. Throw in Jame's mom & she isn't going to let that fly. The chemistry between Sophie & James is hot!!! They both think they know what they want in life & that what they have together is a summer fling. Boy are they wrong! Everyone else can see what is happening but James & Sophie don't want to acknowledge it. James must decide if life is worth living on the go or if he wants to settle down. Sophie must decide also what she wants in life. I loved this story & all of the characters. I can't wait to read the next book in the series & hopefully see James & Sophie some more.

Lauren can’t write a bad book. Once again it was great with memorable characters and a fast flowing storyline. Enjoyed it from the beginning to the last word. Would definitely recommend!

James and Sophie have explosive chemistry. They are full of heat, sass, sarcasm, love and more. Love their story. A definite must read! Get your copy today. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy of the book. Can't wait for more!

Sweetly sexy, emotionally engaging and entertaining romantic journey filled with undeniable passion and adorably perfect couple.... was an interesting and heartwarming story.

Sophie and James start out as a summer fling they both agree will end since they both have big plans in the works... One is going to school and the other is going back on the rode with the rodeo, but life just may have other bigger and better plans for them both... really enjoyed this family and look forward to more Bennett's.

Buck Wild is book 1 in the Bennett Boys Ranch series by Lauren Landish. This was a sweet, steamy romance between James a sexy bull riding cowboy who comes home to help out on his family's ranch when his father passes away and Sophie who is town for the summer interning for the local vet to gain some experience before she heads to school. They meet and the sparks fly. This is a great read and I highly recommend it.

James is a bull rider. He is home on the families ranch, during his off-time, to help out. His dad died recently and he feels like it's more important than ever to do his share of the work. But come fall, he's back on the road. He has airways had a wild side and felt like he needed more than the ranch.

Sophie is in town for the summer. Come fall, she is off to get school. In the meantime, she is interning with the local vet to gain some experience. She meets James when she and the vet go to the family farm to help a horse, who is having a difficult delivery. They have a disagreement and the sparks fly between the two. They later apologize to each other a get to know one another. The sparks are still flying but in a different way. But it's just a summer fling, or isn't it?

I liked this book. The characters were great.

4 Star review of Buck Wild (Bennett Boys Ranch #1) by Lauren Landish

Lauren Landish is a new author to me and Buck Wild was a great book to start with, particularly since it is the first book in a new series.
James Bennett is a rodeo cowboy who loves the adrenaline rush of his job. Spending time at his family ranch he feels like something, is missing, that is until he meets Sophie Stone a trainee veterinarian.
Sophie intrigues James, particularly because she is feisty and challenges him on several levels. Will Sophie fall for the rugged and smoking hot cowboy or will she be able to resist his charms?
When James and Sophie embark on a hot and passionate summer romance, neither of them know how it will change their lives. Buck Wild was a hot read which kept my attention. I liked the development of the characters and found the story flowed well and I look forward to reading more from this author and the Bennett Boys.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

Rating 4/5

This is the first book in a brand new series and my first book by Lauren Landish.

I really liked this book - the characters were very "adult" and handled their obstacles with maturity and respect, leaving no room for childish behaviors. I really appreciated that in this book because its not often we read and see how *adult* we need to be in certain life situations so this was very relatable and easy to connect with both characters. There were lots of cowboy remarks that helped keep the theme. And steamy, steamy love scenes!

What I didn't like about this book was its GINORMOUS similarity to the novel The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks (minus the Ira/Ruth love story). I could almost certainly predict what would happen because of that and I HATE when its so predictable. It ruins the excitement of the story and takes the fun out of the unexpected.

James is a professional rodeo bull rider who has come home for the summer to help his family at the ranch since his father passed away. James is a freespirit who has no interest in love or relationships and will be rejoining the rodeo circuit when it resumes in the fall.

Sophie is interning with the town vet for the summer before she returns to veterinary school. She and the vet are at the Bennett ranch to help deliver a foal and can’t help but notice James. The only problem is that his looks don’t compensate for his attitude.

Their animosity towards each other turns into sparks of a different nature and they decide to spend a steamy summer together but what happens when it is time for them both to leave town?

Hot chemistry, humorous banter and a sexy cowboy, what more could you want. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

James needs a break from the rodeo life he has been living so he comes back to his family ranch. Sophie is working along side the local vet to get training toward being a large animal vet. She meets James when she is out on a call the vet. Sparks fly between them the minute James opens his mouth to speak to her. They both try to fight their attraction but the more time they are around each other the harder it becomes. What will happen between them when the summer comes to an end?


This is a great story and once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between James and Sophie is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sexy, smart romance

I discovered Lauren Landish's books this year and so glad I have. Buck Wild the first book in her new Bennett Brothet series was a delight.
James and Sophie had sparks flying from their very first meet. I thought their characters were very believable and oh my... the sex scenes absolutely sizzle.
I loved the relationship ship they each had with their respective families, it added depth to the story. The plot line was very interesting it really kept my interest and I feel like I learned a lot about the ranch and rodeo worlds. I can hardly wait to read Mark and Luke's stories.
I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley.

AMAZING read! James is a super swoon worthy bull rider that will leave you panting! The scenes in this book are melt your kindle HOT! This is a country boy book that you don’t want to miss.

This was such a good read. Take one sexy bull rider and add one sassy vet-in-training, add in some drama, steam, humor and emotional intensity and you end up with a book that fun and fantastic!! Sophie and James have amazing chemistry and I just loved them as a couple. A wonderful book and a awesome start to this new series.

This was a good read. The writing flowed well for the most part, and I thought the characters were fully developed. I liked Sophie from the start. She was feisty, and she didn't let anyone walk over her. James was a little harder to like from the beginning, but he was more likeable as the story went on. There wasn't a whole of drama in this one, but I did enjoy their HEA. I liked the secondary characters, and I think the author made you interested in how the stories will go for the brothers.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

In my opinion this was a pretty good effort for Lauren Landish's first time cowboy romance. I got to know Sophie Stone a little in Heartstopper (The Irresistible Bachelor Series Book #3). She grew up through out the series. As she got older I want get to know her story more. Well Lauren Landish has given it to me. I loved get to know Sophie she has gotten more sassy, won't take crap and won't hesitate to call you on your crap. I love her. When Sophie tells James to shut up or get out, I couldn't help but laugh, but I felt the spark between Sophie and James and boy was there. James is loyal, loves his family but loves not being tied down. Sophie and James together is hot and steamy, I loved them together. I have a couple of issues with this book. First I did not feel there was any suspense, that is one of my favorite things about Lauren Landish's stories. I'm not sure why but for some reason this was a slow moving story for me, doesn't mean I didn't like. Overall I liked the story and thought is was a good first try. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy.
