Another great Walker Lake story. I love the way Jenna and Josh’s relationship develops and I always love a HEA. Great book for a snowy day read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Jenna is back home from college all grown up. She’s attempting to write a book and works at a diner. Josh is Jenna’s dad’s best friend. Josh is taken aback by how much Jenna has grown up. Jenna is immediately attracted to Josh. There is a 15 years age gap and the little matter of Jenna’s dad. They have a few barriers in their way if they truly want this relationship to work. Upon learning of their relationship, Jenna’s dad, Evan, is furious but Jenna stands strong. This book was a great read. I loved the characters along with all of their interactions with each other.

Book 2 of Walker Lake. The first one, The Cowboy and His Everything was fantastic. The Cowboy and His Best Friend's Daughter is a standalone book but familiar characters (beloved ones, entertaining ones) from other books in this series and other series by the talented Kaci Rose. Family and friends, friendship that becomes more, romance and sexy times. And best of all, a strong story with emotions and laughs and more. Bravo!.

3.5-4* A quick enjoyable forbidden/age gap read with a slow burn feel. Josh and Jenna struggle with their hidden feelings for each other knowing it could cause trouble with family and friends. Finally giving into their heart’s desire causes upheaval but they stand together in their love for each other. I enjoyed their love journey. HEA.

The Cowboy and his Best Friend’s daughter is book 2 in the Walker Lake series by Kaci M Rose, an age gap romance. 4.5 stars Josh has known Jenna since she was a young girl, as she is his best friend’s daughter. Jenna has been in love with Josh but he never knew. Now years later Jenna decides it’s time to let Josh know exactly how she feels…what happens next will keep you guessing…obstacles, family, he’s so much older, spicy, strong connection, seeing old friends from prior books and more… I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from Greys PR. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

For an best friend's daughter "taboo" type of story, I expected a lot more angst in this book. Not that I'm complaining, it was just a refreshing change of pace, lol. Josh and Jenna were a great couple and I really liked their chemistry. While he had his moments of back and forth, do I or don't I move forward with this relationship, it really just showed how much he didn't want to hurt anyone. The age gap wasn't as big as I thought it was going to be, thankfully, lol, so everytime it mentioned Josh being best friends with her dad, it startled me. They really had so much in common and just gelled so well that I often forgot the 15 year age gap. With moderate heat, great characters and a really good storyline, Kaci Rose did a great job with this sexy cowboy and his young lady love.
