She owns his heart - but to keep the family ranch, he needs it back.

Eldon needs a wife to keep the old family ranch. But marrying is a problem – because secretly, his heart has always belonged to his sweet childhood friend.

Up-and-coming actress Kay is supposed to be in love with the movie’s hero - but she’d rather rake hay at high noon than kiss that particular actor. Told to fake feelings or get out, she’s about to lose everything.

Eldon’s time on the ranch is running out, and Kay can’t face losing her career. But when Eldon decides to coach Kay through her block, helping out might bring even this tough cowboy to his knees. Love is easy - but spice it up with reality, and romance on the ranch gets real complicated, real quick.

If you like endless skies, witty banter, and a happily-ever-after, you don’t want to miss this charming romance! Clean and full of humor, the heartwarming story will give you true love with a delicious sprinkle of side characters. A Cowboy’s Best Friend is the first book in a contemporary western cowboy romance series. The novels are best read in order, but each is a stand-alone novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually authentic
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020

If this author doesn’t actually have experience with ranching, farming, cattle, and horses, she’s done a bang-up job of convincing me otherwise. The story and the action on the ranch felt authentic. So many cowboy stories are painfully fake, but this one was believable.

I really liked Eldon. His character was the best in the book. Kay was just a generic pretty girl. Nothing special to make her stand out amidst all the other pretty people in romance novels. That was disappointing.

The author did a good job setting up future books. I have several theories on who the father of Lila’s baby is. At first, I was thinking it was Lane or Merle, but then I started thinking it might be Dale or Darien. However, there was a hint that Fern would go to work for Darien, and since that’s a popular trope - falling for a billionaire boss - I’m gonna take Darien out of the running. That leaves Dale, who has been avoiding the town for years. He doesn’t want to come back because he’ll run into Lila. It’s anyone’s guess, though, if he knows about Lizzie. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lizzie is the “secret baby” trope.

Anyways, if you like cowboy stories, I think you’ll like this one.

One note: I knocked off a star because Kay is too thin and pretty and there’s diet talk/body shaming. Fat-shaming a horse is just as stupid as fat-shaming a person. Probably even worse because the horse can’t defend themselves from people who think its body is wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best in Front of You
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020

This was a great cowboy romance about Eldon and Kay who have been best friends all their lives. Eldon runs the family ranch for his grandparents and Kay is trying to be a star in Los Angeles. The author gives a lot of detail to ranch life, friendships, brothers, the scenery, and growing up. Some of the best things are right in front of us. We just need to stop, observe, think, and act on the facts. This was my first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it. I received a complimentary copy of this book and have chosen to write an honest review on my own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too simple for me
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2022
Verified Purchase
I have no complaints about the characterizations, description, dialogue, grammar or editing. But I
was bored to distraction. This book focuses on each character's reaction to the other's facial expressions an smallest as they do a very dull pull-push of attraction and hesitation.

Reviewed in Italy on September 16, 2020

Nicely stretched out longing for each other, neither of the two best friends willing to loose their friendship for something a bit more. The descriptions for the ranch, sensations of smell, space, animals of several types, the land as part of a legacy, the family as old world three generations before, all very well portrayed.
Cute and chaste.
