Description
Veterinarian Hunter Beckett just got roped into his nightmare: a bachelor auction to raise funds for a local charity. While he’s a hottie, most in town see him as a curmudgeon, a man who manages to be cranky, even after he’s saved your dog’s life. But when women start bidding on him like crazy—one aggressive hairdresser in particular—Hunter’s in need of a savior and finds it in the form of Kit, his veterinary resident. It’s a mercy purchase, but one that puts him in a bind: Kit wants something in return.
Kit Cowie’s come all the way out to the boonies because of her love of large animal medicine, and because Hunter needs a new resident—badly. But now that she’s got the job, she finds that Hunter is only holding her back, making her give shots to puppies while he’s off doing what she’d really love: fixing broken bones and saving horses’ lives. Now that she’s rescued him from the auction, Kit hopes she can leverage this to get more access in the office. What she didn’t expect is for Hunter to follow the rules of the bachelor auction—or for their date go so wonderfully right, ending with a sizzling kiss.
But Hunter is sure that the kiss was a mistake and believes they should keep things professional between them. However, the more time he spends with Kit, the more his emotions beg him to see this relationship to passionate fruition, even though he knows Kit is only here for a rotation until her position at her own family’s vet clinic goes into effect and she’s gone forever.
As the two get more involved, they face the real possibility that their growing love could lay waste to their reputations or become something far more precious.

The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.

Wrangling His Sexy Assistant is the second book in the Beckett Brothers series by Leslie North. The main characters are Kit and Hunter. She is his resident and their story began when she had the highest bid in an auction he was taking place in. The blurb covers that pretty well. After the first book in the series, I was a bit reluctant to begin this one, but I have to say that I was impressed with this book. Kit and Hunter have one of the most developed relationships I had the chance to read from this author and it made me remember why I liked to read the novellas she writes. This book is one of her best works!

This was a good book. Great dialogue , characters and plot. I Finished this in one evening .i would like to read more about the brother scout next.

I was really surprised that neither Kit or Hunter had a pet. It's uncommon to read a vet romance where the vet does not have one. It's always funny to see how many people knew all along when a couple are trying to sneak around. I liked this book and can't wait for Scout's story.

Wrangling His Sexy Assistant is the second book in the Beckett Brothers series. It was a very good story! I have not read the first in the series, but this one easy to follow along since it's main focus is Hunter and Kit. I enjoyed meeting the Beckett brothers who like to push each other's buttons in a loving way. The relationship between Hunter and Kit was sweet. I thought it funny when they tried to hide their relationship from their coworkers, but in the end their smiles and Hunter's good humor gave them away. Though their lack of communication in regards to their future as a couple almost separated them luckily friends and family intervened.
Kit's backstory is very sad and I felt for her. She was putting off her dream of being a vet for large animals to help out her dad, who is also a vet and wanted to retire to help out Kit's mom who suffered from MS.
Great story with a HEA!
Highly recommended for those in search of a sweet romance! Plus, cute farm animals!!
Thank you to the publisher for providing the ARC through NetGalley for review.

While there is rarely a book of Leslie North’s that I don’t enjoy, Wrangling His Sexy Assistant is definitely up at the top of my list of favourites. There was nothing about this book that didn’t appeal to me as a lover of Cowboys, intrigue and romance.
Hunter and Kit were wonderful characters and their story of overcoming moral barriers and personal commitments, was delivered with a realistic flare and totally believable. Everyone loves a hero; riding to the rescue of the damsel in distress and saving the day is swoon-worthy, but a strong and determine heroine is certainly a big plus for me.
The plot was intriguing and the story as a whole had an easy ebb and flow to the writing, which served to entice the reader to continue till the final page was turned. Ms North has definitely produced a winner with this fabulous story, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Scout!

I'm typically hit or miss with novellas. I think it's very difficult to cultivate a plot line and character development within a limited amount of pages. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Wrangling His Sexy Assistant. It's actually one of the better novellas I've read in a while. Hunter Beckett is a veterinarian in a small community. As the story begins, he is on the auction block to raise money for a local charity. He is anything but happy about being there. Sensing his unease, his veterinary resident, Kit Cowie, comes to his rescue and outbids the others. In exchange, she wants more experience with the large animal portion of the practice. This leads the two to spending even more time together which causes more sparks to fly and feelings to get involved. In the midst of all of this, Hunter is paranoid that he is crossing a line as Kit's supervisor and not only endangering her position as a resident but his own as well. Also, they are both aware that at the end of her residency period, Kit will return home to take over her father's small animal vet practice so that he can spend time with and be there for her mother. It isn't really what Kit wants to do, but she feels obligated. Obviously things never go as planned. I really enjoyed this quick and fun read.
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
