Book Review: Her Cowboy Billionaire Best Friend by Liz Isaacson

Christmas in Coral Canyon Book 1

A cowboy returning to his hometown—and the best friend he left a dozen years before. She's divorced with a child now...can they build a family and find their happily-ever-after?

Graham Whittaker returns to Coral Canyon a few days after Christmas—after the death of his father. He's just found out his long-time girlfriend in Seattle has been cheating on him, and while Coral Canyon isn't his first choice of where to live, it's certainly the friendliest.

He takes over the energy company his dad built from the ground up and buys a high-end lodge to live in—only a mile from the home of his once-best friend, Laney McAllister. Laney returned to her family ranch after college, but her husband wasn't cut out for the country lifestyle on the land at the base of the Grand Teton National Forest. He left Laney and their daughter, Bailey, to work the ranch themselves, which they've been trying to do.

But with her furnace on the brink of failure and the snow falling faster than ever, Laney agrees to bring Bailey up to Graham's lodge for the holidays. They were best friends once, but Laney's always entertained feelings for him, and spending so much time with him while they make Christmas memories puts her heart in danger of getting broken again. Can they take their friendship to the next level and build a family? Or will Laney be risking her heart only to remain in the friend zone?

My Review:

These two just about killed me. Or maybe it was that I was ready to strangle the pair of them on many, many occasions. They may have been best friends when they were younger but there’s a lot of years and experiences separating Graham and Laney from that time. Both are pretty stubborn and set in their ways. Graham and Laney each have survived some painful relationships and are still dealing with the unexpected deaths of their fathers, as well as the family legacies they’re now responsible for. I love these two together. At least when they’re “on” they’re sweet, and adorable, and almost too cute for words. When they’re “off”, I wanted to smack their heads together until they got it right again. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
