Wedding bells are the last thing on twenty-two year old Riley Bishop’s mind, but that’s exactly what he hears after waking up in Vegas next to a woman he just met—his new wife.
He never saw her coming, but she might be worth the risk.
Zoey Mitchell is high on life, free spirited, and adventurous. However, learning she married a rowdy cowboy after a night of partying is not what she expected—even for her. She’s risking it all, gambling with her heart.
Deciding to give their instant marriage a chance, Zoey moves from her big city life to a small town Texas ranch. She has to know if their connection is based on more than just a wild one-night stand before announcing to her family that she got hitched.
One moment changes everything—for better or worse—and a secret could destroy them both.

My Review:
I feel like I start almost every review for a Kennedy Fox book in this manner, but it's always a good time to return to a KF book again. They are some of my favorite romance writers, and my favorite writing duo. I love how easily I can slip into this world, and lately, their books definitely make me want to visit the South. This story brings us back to Texas and the Bishop Brothers world, but it's now a story about the previous series' kids. So if you remember from Taming Him, which follows River and Alex (full review found here), this story follows their son, Riley. A lot of time has passed since Riley is 23, but it's so nice to see all the characters we've grown to know and love from the last series, and also see mention of people like Grandma Bishop, and even Drew and Courtney. Although, I should stop saying kids, since they are grown up and this is their happily ever after now.
Riley follows in the footsteps of his parents and definitely finds love on a whim when he visits Las Vegas with his friend Diesel. There he meets Zoey, who doesn't come from an overly warm family, but she is close with her sister, Summer. The trip for her is to celebrate Summer's bachelorette, but she is drawn to Riley. They only know each other for a few days, they spend the night together, Riley returns home thinking that is the end of things. There is a clear connection between the two, and even though Zoey mails him annulment papers which he signs, she finds herself driving across country to see if this is the real deal and to give it a shot.
We see so many stories of the build up to the relationship and the will they or won't they, but I really appreciate stories like this one which just focuses on them getting to know one another, with the intention of being together. You see them grow as a couple and just spend more time as a couple doing regular things. I especially loved moments when Zoey would go off and spend time with his family, but then come back and tell him about it. You got to see their relationship blossom, but also see how Zoey really comes to find her place within the Bishop family.
This was an incredibly sweet story, and Riley is definitely reminiscent of Alex. When they fall, they fall hard. I loved seeing that vulnerability present in Riley. I also just loved seeing him swoon over Zoey and just fall for her more and more. It was so sweet, and like his father, he knew exactly the right things to say. He made her feel loved, but he also made he feel that this was now her home too.
As with all KF books, the friendship circle and family dynamics are always a fun addition too. I did find Diesel to be a bit over the top at times, but I'm excited to see how his story will work out in the next book with Riley's younger sister, Rowan. If you are a fan of KF books, this is a nice sweet treat! If you haven't started yet, there is a prequel/novella available called Roping the Cowboy to start you off! ;)
