ღ Sophie Stone , had her plan set in her mind to follow in her older brother’s footsteps.. But a Lil bump in the road had change the course in her life. She went from studying business to completing her bachelor’s degree in becoming Vet. She moved to small town (Great Falls) to do her interning with a local Vet for the summer
Sophie is use the big city & men there, so she didn’t bat eye when the 6”3 cowboy gave her attitude

James Bennett is the youngest of the three siblings… James came home to help out on the family farm after his dad passing

James’s father use to call him the ‘wild child” & for good reason, see James is 8 second man …he has working the rodeo circuit for years.. New city every weekend pretty much, so summer on the family farm was more of oviligation, until he meet the feisty sassy mouth assistant Vet

📚 James & Sophie were adorable. This started off as just a summer fling, until what seem like Sophie getting too serious & James freaking out…
Is James dying for his escape to come sooner than expected in the fall? What will happen once the fall season is pond these two? Will they just walk away, or with they make it work somehow?
📚 You can always find Lil dirty talking, some sassy strong females, sexy as heck males & steamy moments in one of Lauren Landish books
📚oh I don’t know which was funnier, the three siblings poking at each other or the fun loving flirting between Sophie & James.. Either way this is a good read
I can't wait to read about Luke & Mark. Omg can’t forget about see more of Mama Louise.

📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion & my honest review 💕

I haven't read too many cowboy romances in my time, however, if they're all as hot as this one, I might just have to change that! Buck Wild was warm, sweet and steamy goodness. It was full of feel goods, low on angst, and had easy to like characters. Although the plot didn't really seem to be going anywhere aside from a bit of drama from a rival family, I still found myself enjoying it and found myself getting lost in the pages. James and Sophie definitely blew hot. The romance wasn't really there but I was still rooting for the two of them to ride off into the sunset together. I also really liked how the author tied in previous beloved characters into the story without taking away from the main ones. This was definitely something different from this author but I think she made it into a success.

8 seconds is all it takes to make or break a champion, and James is a champion. But will his cockiness and swagger win over the young vet he stumbles across on his downtime from the circuit? Will he realize that winning is more than just victory? Or will Sophie break the handsome cowboy of his arrogance? Summer fling or long term love..

I loved this sweet and sexy romance about James and Sophie!
The characters are just swoon-worthy, fascinating, adorable and so cute as they fall for each other…
I loved the tough as nails and sassy heroine and the very hot and dominating hero…
I loved the down to earth kind of way the story is told, giving some insight in the country life with all its hard work, be it as a rancher or a veterinarian, and the scenic beauty Ms. Landish described so wonderfully…

This is one of the cutest romances I have read by Lauren Landish!

Buck Wild is a delicious book about a Rodeo star that has come home to help out on the family ranch until time for him to get back on the circuit to ride the bulls again and a young city girl turned veterinarian student that is doing her internship with a seasoned vet for the summer then she is off to school again in the fall. The two meet during a difficult delivery of a colt and the sparks fly.

James has always been the wild child and living his dream on the road chasing the next high score from riding the bulls. He has had his share of "buckle bunnies" along the way, that's just part of the fame. Sophie has been raised by her brother in the city, she did a major career change and went from business to becoming a vet for large animals. Her brother doesn't understand her career choice but supports her.

This book gives us humor, sexy hot back and forth tension between these two and family love and all that goes with being part of a small town. I loved how James goes from the wild child to a very caring loving man and how Soph realizes this is more than just a summer fling and how her heart is tied up in not only this man but his entire family. These two will see that what you thought your future held for you isn't really what you want anymore and you can have a new future with the one you love.

I received an early copy to read and review and give my honest opinion. I loved this book and highly recommend it. Great story, a page turner, well written to keep your interest throughout the entire book and lots of heat between these two.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book. I absolutely loved this book. James and Sophie are amazing. They have great banter, flirty, sexy, delicious hotness. When Sophie starts her internship at the local vet office with Doc she’s so excited. Her first encounter with James was a shock to her system, he’s hot, and she wants to do things to him, well that is until he opens his mouth. The Bennet family has suffered a loss and James came home from the rodeo to help out around the ranch, never did he ever think he would find someone he could spar with and be himself with. They both have plans come fall, and with all the time they are spending together, feelings are creeping up unexpectedly. James’ family adores Sophie and she feels that way about them. Have these two fallen for each other? How will they react when the other confesses their feelings? Such a great read, couldn’t put this down. No spoilers, it’s a fun, living read of discovery of ones self and how to work through feelings. Highly recommend it!

Love it! There’s no drastic drama to rip your heart apart but a subtle dilemma about two people heading in different directions. There’s a spark when Sophie and James meet but is it enough to sustain a relationship or let it fizzle when their time seems to be up? Buck Wild was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to read more! This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.

Buck Wild by Lauren Landish a five-star read that will drive you wild. Sophie Stone has definitely got some and she knows what to do with them, she is amazing, and she just knows how to bring the best out of people. She even knows how to put a wild Bennett boy in his place, during one of the scariest moments of her life as well, that’s why I know she has some massive stones. James Bennett may rue the day he ever made a bad comment and hopefully he will prove to our lovely Sophie that he is the nice gentleman that his Mama raised. Lovely and hot with a crazy booty to match, what more could you want. This is a steamy and sweet romance with a kick to it also.

A hot dirty-talking rodeo cowboy + a feisty veterinarian student = a well written country love story complete with humor, a touch of drama, a feud, likable characters, sizzling chemistry, and hot scenes.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

This was a quick read that was also fun. James and Sophie were well written characters that had amazing chemistry. I enjoyed Sophie being a strong woman that had an ultimate goal that did not change throughout the story despite the events that took place. James was a great character that was working though his grief with the loss of his father and if his life goals of returning to the rodeo circuit. This was a drama free story that moved along well. I liked how Sophie's story was briefly connected to her brother and Roxy's story from the Irresistible Bachelor's series touched on each but was not a main focus. I enjoyed this book from the start and look forward to seeing where this series will go in the future.

When Sophie meets James it’s not on the best terms, but Sophie shuts him down. Sophie is working with Doc to get her internship for vet school and her first job is helping Doc with a difficult horse birth on the Bennett farm but James “Mr. Rodeo Star” Bennett questions her ability to assist in this. Now while Sophie finds him attractive she isn’t the type to fall at his feet, so after a tongue lashing from his Mama he apologizes and they agree to to call it “even” and be friends. As cocky as James can be and as defensive as Sophie is they try to find a common ground and it’s entertaining to read, I think Sophie is my favorite character.

Buck Wild is book one in a new series by Lauren Landish about a professional bull rider and a young vet student.
James Bennett is currently in the off season, his pops has recently passed away and he is back home to help his mama and brothers on the family ranch. He plans to help his family for the summer, then come fall its back to training and getting back to the rodeo circuit. Little did he know a sassy, smart and sexy vet student would come into his life and make him re think his plans.
Sophie Stone is currently and intern with Doc for the summer before she leaves for vet school. While working, her and Doc are called out to the Bennett ranch to help with a delivery and she has a not so pleasant meeting with one Bennett brother in particular. Despite the rudeness from James, there is an instant attraction there.
Knowing that they are both leaving in the Fall James and Sophie decide to start a summer fling and come fall they will part ways and move on with their lives and with their dreams. However, they begin to spend more and more time together and feelings grow and plans change.
The chemistry between James and Sophie was off the charts!! There is no denying the connection between these two. I loved how sweet James was with Sophie, after the initial meeting between the two. Mama Louise is the best! She loves her boys fiercely and will always take care of them. I loved how protective she was of them all! I can’t wait to learn more about Luke and Mark in future books, plus get more James, Sophie and Mama Louise.

LOVED IT! This book has so much heart! I'm not a huge fan of 'cowboy' romances, I'm more of a city girl myself, but even I wanted to be on horseback with the Bennett Boys. James was probably my least favorite (again, not a cowboy fan, so a bull rider? I couldn't get into his mindset) but he was certainly a very sweet guy with a heart of gold and lots of respect for his Mama so that made up for his profession. Sophie, she's probably up there in my top three heroines. I just loved her sass! I liked her when we met her in her brother Jake's book, so I was super excited to see she got a well deserved HEA of her own. The dialogue was perfect, lots of witty banter between the two, Sophie was assertive in her desires, I loved that, she took what was hers and she owned that $#%+! Good for her, and good for this author for making such a strong self reliant character. And the steamy heat! I SO love me a dirty talker, and James is really talented at it. Looking forward to more from these guys, Luke may surprise me but I think Mark will be my favorite and it will take a lot to break his stoic shell.

If you love a sexy cowboy then you will love James. James loves the rodeo and his family and when his dad passed he knew he had to come home. Never did he think he would meet a feisty veterinarian in training. Sophie & James was only suppose to be a summer fling but you know how it goes. Both weren’t looking for love but the heart wants what the heart wants. Great story with great characters that had me hooked from the start.

4.5⭐
Buck Wild was a sweet, sexy, hot, entertaining and absorbing story. That had little drama and great characters. And not just the main two James and Sophie, but both of James's brothers Luke and Mark. As well as their mama Louise.
Plus, it was charming, engaging and easy to read. Not to mention full of hot cowboys and as a new author to me, I will definitely be reading more from Lauren Landish in the future. And anyone who loves a good cowboy romance should definitely check Buck Wild out.

This book was my first by Lauren Landish. Let me tell you Buck Wild was more than only 8 seconds long lasting bull ride. It was so much better. Summer break insta love of its finest. Story about value of simple things, family bond and sassy vet intern meeting sexy cowboy romance.

The writing was amazing almost like I've been present to the whole story meeting all the characters myself. I enjoyed the writing style full of nature, ranch living and steaming hot scenes. I loved the sassy mouth of Sophia's not taking anyone's attitude, especially James' one.
He was mesmerized by her from the very beginning. And I absolutely fell in love with Mama Lou, then she's had all her boys wrapped around her tiny finger and to read her words about not raising them like this or that made me chuckle all the time. I loved the Southern charm of this story.
So not to repeat myself let's say if you love ranches, cows, horses and hot cowboys..this book won't disappoint you.
