Late Review: I'm catching up on some reviews from books I've read earlier this year.
The Cowboy by Molly O’Keefe should have fallen right in line with the three previous books in The King Family series. I’d grown accustomed to the King family and their tumultuous romantic entanglements. But I’m afraid I just didn’t love Bea’s story. Maybe I was already predisposed to not like it because I’d watched Bea behave like a grade A bitch when any of her siblings seemed to find love. This story just seemed a little convoluted and maybe just too complicated. They way Cody and Bea find each other, how they interact. I just wasn’t a fan. Cody is a mess and what I hate most is that he continues to mistreat Bea when none of it is her fault. For all her tough shit when it comes to her families affairs she basically lets this man trample all over her. Not to mention she seems like she’s drifting as well. She has no real sense of direction and she doesn’t particularly have any ambition. I get that she’s been burned in the past but she seems to carry every failure with her. Overall this book didn’t do it for me. I was being generous when I gave it 4 stars. Its being downgraded to 3 stars. I wouldn’t read this again.

I think this just might be my favorite of the King Installments.
Learning how to get out of your own head, learning your self worth and how to be happy is what makes this story take my heart.

This is a kindle unlimited recommendation, and it was a pretty nice little series. Each book has a different author, so each set of main characters really sound like individuals. This one had a lot of voyeurism and lying, but it was still pretty good!

Reviewed on my blog, Becky on Books, on 11/26/18.
Phew--this is one book that is definitely NSFW--not even on your lunch break! (Fans self, remembering details...)
Bea and Cody hands down have the most unusual--and hot!--meet cute I've read so far. Hats off to you, Ms. O'Keefe! Things somehow manage to get even hotter from there, too--and then Cody brings it all to a screeching halt, darn him. Though I did want Bea to 'fess up to him way sooner than she did, his reaction seemed a bit OTT--still, he finally manages (with some help!) to get his head out of his you-know-what and their HEA is super-sweet.
The Cowboy worked okay as a standalone, though I do wish I'd read the other series books first for a bit more context on why Bea has such a low opinion of herself, since it had definite repercussions here for the choices she made. Fingers crossed that Jack will get a book too, and give us more Cody and Bea together cuteness! (Plus his story. He totally deserves a story!)
Rating: 4 stars / A-
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This was a nice conclusion to the series. I really liked Bea figuring out her place and taking control of her life. I was a little exasperated with both leads being hot messes, though. It was a little too much at times but they worked their shit out.

Probably the best of the series, right up there with book number 1.
