To Rope a Bull Rider

Molly and Wes’ story in To Rope a Bull Rider by Kelsey McKnight, book two in her Hollingsworth Sister series, is a wonderful and enjoyable tale of opposites attracting. Molly Hollingsworth is known for being the life of the party while at the same time promoting charitable causes she believes in. She has never settled in one place, rather this publishing heiress and social media star embraces her jet-setting lifestyle. With her older sister settled in Marietta, Montana after remodeling their family homestead, Molly decides it’s time for a visit and a bit of relaxation. Former professional bull rider Wes Granger has pursued obtaining the championship dream since high school. When a fall derails his career, Wes finds himself back in home in Marietta to heal, work the family ranch, and figure out what’s next for him. Being saddled with Molly, a green-eyed beauty with a smart mouth, as his ranch hand makes Wes wonder if there’s more to life than chasing one more win. Looking for a good time, hooking up with a local bull rider was guaranteed fun for Molly; at least until her heart gets involved. With Molly’s departure date hanging over them, Wes and Molly do not want to say goodbye. The magnetic attraction and chemistry between these two draw them together, craving the love they’ve discovered and being together. That goal might not be possible for two people who travel for a living without them taking time to work together on a compromise and opening their hearts to the possibility of love. Ms. McKnight wrote a wonderful tale filled with sizzling chemistry, magnetism, wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters giving Molly and Wes a chance at loving each other. I highly recommend To Rope a Bull Rider to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Welcome home to Marietta Molly and fans of my favorite fictional town. When I read the first book in this series "To Wrangle a Rancher" and we got to know Molly and heard all about her crush on cousin Wes Granger I knew that when we got to their book it was going to be a blast. And it sure is. It starts off with Wes finding Molly's finest feature hanging out of the window. Seems she forgot the house key back in town when she came home for her surprise visit. And of course, there was no one at the house since Olivia and her fiance Kit was out of town for a bit. So, with four wedding dresses in tow and luggage, she is trying to break her way inside when Wes finds her. Life only gets better from there. Wes lives in the ranch next door which used to be where Kit was and is the family's land. While home waiting on Olivia to come back Molly and Wes get to know each other again. See there is chemistry between them LOTS of it. And while Molly has always had a thing for Wes he just remembers that his uncle told him that the Hollingsworth girls were OFF LIMITS the weeks or months they were visiting next door. So look all you want but no touching. And it was years ago anyway. But now well Molly has really grown up. But she was known as the Party Princess and so soon she would be out and about all over the globe. But what Molly was quiet to let Wes in on was the camera and Social Media only told what she wanted them to know. She could post and raise funds for worthy causes. I Love this book! It is fun and made me laugh. But it also gave me wonderful ideas about how to help out charities and causes without leaving my home. Molly and Wes are the perfect yin and yang of 2021. I can't wait to meet the last Hollingsworth sister and see what fun she stirs up in Marietta soon.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it. While this is a part of a series, you really don't have to read the prior one to thoroughly enjoy this one. That being said, I would highly recommend it though as it is just as wonderful. Molly is the youngest Hollingsworth sister. She is considered the "Party Princess". She is a social influencer. The money raised from modeling and her blog help her to fund charities, people in need and various other causes. She decides that she needs a break from her hectic life. She is going to surprise her oldest sister and visit her for three weeks in Murrieta, Montana. The three sisters inherited their grandmother's home. Olivia now resides in Montana with her fiance, Kit (the first book of the series is their story.) The surprise is on Molly as Olivia and Kit aren't home. Since the remodel, Molly doesn't have a key to the place even though she is 1/3 owner. After checking around for a spare key, to no avail, she spies a window that is cracked open. She throws her purse in the window and promptly gets her blouse stuck on something. All of the sudden, a deep voice asks what is she doing! Her purse with her cell phone and pepper spray is on the floor where she can't get a hold of it. Her rescuer is none other than the neighbor, Wes Granger. He is Kit's cousin who lives next door. During one summer, when they came to visit their grandmother when they were younger, Molly had a developed a crush on him. Kit is an ex-bull rider. Six months ago, he was severely injured during a ride. The doctors told him that he should never ride again. Kit is at a loss. He has always wanted to be a bull rider. Helping his cousin work the combined ranches is not something he ever dreamed of. Reading about these two totally opposite people come together was a great read. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough but that just made the story end faster! At least there is another Hollingsworth sister on the horizon. This story is written in a dual POV format. Seeing the two characters' thoughts really helped me to connect with them and fully understand them as the writer intended. This is a sexy story that I would highly recommend to anyone over the age of 18.
