Adam is Buckhorn's most eligible bachelor, Jordan's stepson, is about to turn 30, and is ready to settle down. Isabelle is the librarian and has been in love with Adam for awhile. She tells Adam's cousin, Amber, about her feelings and she begins to try to make Adam jealous by telling the single men that she is ready to date. Adam's been interested in Isabelle for awhile, but always got a professional feeling from her so he never tried to pursue her. Until one day at the carnival he's blocking her view and they decide to sit together on her blanket and enjoy people watching. She decides to try out her flirting skills on him.

This is such a sweet family oriented book. Its always so much fun reading a Buckhorn story, the men in this family all have good hearts, and they're hot too. I enjoyed this story, it was fun to see the men from the original books with Adam. They're still the sweetest. The storyline is fast paced, but you're still able to get the full story and watch these two fall for each other. Adam and Isabelle's story is a great addition to the series and definitely worth the read. Loved it!

Received ARC in exchange for honest review from NetGalley.

I am so excited to be back in Buckhorn again!! These stories will always put a smile on my face. This series is one of those great series where you can get all the feels in a smaller package. None of the Buckhorn books are super long but they stay in your memory forever. I think the kindle edition (which I had) was 90 pages. However I learned very fast with the first Buckhorn books that you will receive a whole bunch of feelings for these characters in a short amount of time.

Lets start with Adam… if you have read the previous books you would know that Adam is Georgia and Jordan’s son. I can’t believe we get to see all of the old characters from the previous books in here! These can be read as standalone books, so no need to read the previous books but I highly suggest reading them just for fun!!! Anyways back to Adam, he is so unbelievably sweet but is also kind of a player. He doesn’t seem to stick with the same woman for long. That is until he notices his long time co-worker Isabella as more than a co-worker. She is smart, strong, caring, and feisty. Is this combination enough to tame Adam? I loved how he becomes so protective of Isabella. There is one scene where two guys are trying to ask her out and what he does is so hilarious and just like an alpha man staking his claim.

Isabella I’m not sure where to begin with her. She was so unbelievably sweet… Isabella has never crossed the line with Adam because her feelings for him run deep. She didn’t want to be another woman he has spent time with but not stayed with. Isabella is finally ready to go to the next step with him so she teams up with his cousin Amber. (on a side note I love Amber’s character) Amber tells Isabella she must act like she’s on the prowl for a man. Isabella keeps getting “set” up with men. Of course once the men in Buckhorn realize she’s available they start coming out of the woodwork. I adore how Isabella doesn’t realize what a great little package she is. I think that makes her even more attractive in Adam’s eyes. The lunch she has with Adam and his relatives is hilarious!! I loved how candid it was.

Thank you to Lori Foster for the copy to review for my honest opinion

I could read about the Buckhorn guys forever...!
Seriously, if Lori Foster decided to deliver 1 or 2 books a year for the rest of the time, I would be so fine with this.
Light and fun read, sweet romance, not rocket science here, just a happy place to be.
...and it hits the spot every time for me.

I've said it before and I will say it again - Lori Foster is one of my all-time favorite go-tos for a seriously good contemporary romance. If you saw my review of Don't Tempt Me, you'll know I think she's the master of the full length romance. But A Buckhorn Bachelor just proves that she also rocks the novella. This is actually my first Buckhorn book, even though I know this is one of her more popular series. And man, I didn't realize how much I was missing until now!

This book is just further proof that Lori Foster can write down-to-earth, genuine characters. I truly believe I could meet someone just like Isabella and Adam. And frankly, I would 100% love to meet someone like Adam. With all the billionaires and rock star romances out there, there's something so comfy and relaxing about a gym teacher and a librarian. Despite the short length of this book (I estimate it to be around 90 pages or so), you can see the characters grow, not only on their own, but as a couple. Really, the only thing keeping this from being a five star perfect read is the cousin. I know she meant well, but I've never wanted to whack a character on the nose with a rolled up newspaper more than in this book.

Cover Lovin': Yummy!

Recommendation: While I own a couple Buckhorn books, this is actually the first I've ever read! So take it from me, this works just fine as a stand alone.

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)! I didn't want to put it down.
