  I happen to be one who can sometimes find it challenging to keep track of characters and their relationship to each other as a story unfolds. So, I keep a spiral notebook handy to record each new character when introduced in the story. After many years of reading, I must say that never before have I experienced an author who introduced around two dozen separate people in the first chapter alone. Very few of these were identified by anything except by name. There was almost no indication of age, relationship, or status. I found this technique to be annoying and distracting. I came near to aborting the story at the end of the first chapter.
  
  However, I am glad I continued because the story, as a whole, ended being an acceptable clean romance. As it worked out, with a few exceptions, all the characters introduced in the first chapter were members of the multigenerational Whitaker family. They had joined together to spend the holidays together. Before the story concluded, the full cast of characters was in the vicinity of fifty characters. I have never before been in such need of a detailed list of characters to keep the story understandable.
  
  I appreciated the fact that the protagonists were not from the younger generation. One of the heroine’s daughters becomes engaged as the story progresses. One major accomplishment is the fact that I did not discover a single editorial error while reading this story. I offer three-stars for this offering by Liz Isaacson.

  Yay! The series continues. And this time we get to see Annie find a new happily ever after. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s best read as part of the series. It starts a new subset of books at Whiskey Mountain Lodge, but all the characters from the previous books make an appearance, so it’s helpful to be acquainted with them first. I really like that Annie and Colton are characters that are past the first blush of youth. They have experience, and foibles, and idiosyncrasies. And since I’m in a similar age bracket to them, that makes it very easy for me to relate to them. I loved Annie in the earlier novels, but here she left me scratching my head a lot of the time. Her jealousy confused me. I think it confused everyone and it’s never well explained. She knows what she wants and she’s not above running hell-bent for leather to get it. Even at the expense of the relationship she’s trying to build. I really liked Colton. He’s guarded, but he’s earned that state the hard way. I loved watching him come out from inside that shell. I’m very intrigued by the setup for the next book and I look forward to reading it.
  I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

  God’s Place and Time
  
  I was wary to jump into the “cowboy billionaire” craze, but I loved this story! The fact that Colton was in the vicinity of the lodge to stop, just before getting snowed in for a week!? Annie is sweet, and her grown daughters are awesome! Annie has a soft spot for Eden over Emily, and we all got that, too! I love how Bree’s and Wes’s story began in this book, and I’m so excited to see it continue in the next! The real-life pressures Annie put on herself were real, and I love how they were overcome in the story. Colton and Annie are perfect for each other!

  Her Cowboy Billionaire Birthday Wish: A Hammond Brothers Novel: Christmas at Whisky Mountain Lodge Book 1I begins the series by Liz Isaacson. It takes place in the Whisky Mountain Lodge own by the Whittakers. They had lived in the sprawling house; but not since they had renovated it to accommodate guests. They strived for the very best service as possible. They were fully booked 99% of the time they were open. However, they closed for Christmas and the Whittaker gang swarmed in on the lodge so it rang with the hounds of the entire family. The difference this year was that Annie Pruitt was staying at the lodge. Usually, she would go home and come in daily; but since her husband Ryan had died in a helicopter crash, she didn’t like staying home. She loved her cleaning company and her job here at the lodge and the time it gave her with her two girls.
  Colton Hammond had headed out of Denver with no destination in mind. He just wanted to get away from the humiliation of being stood up at the altar. His brother had stayed at the Whisky Mountain Lodge and told him about it so Colton headed there when the snow headed their way. Luckily, they had one room left, in the basement. Annie showed him to his room only to find it hadn’t been cleaned that day, it was overlooked. Hastily, she cleaned the room so he could stay. She then told him what activities were available. Would anything come of the sparks that flew when they were near each other? How long could he get away with staying here?

  Sweet Romance
  
  I came across this book via an ad on Facebook the author had. It sounded really good, so I downloaded my copy here on Amazon. So yes, Liz Isaacson is a new-to-me author.
  
  This book is Annie and Colton’s story and could technically be read as a stand-alone, but I will say that all the other character names being thrown into the mix was super confusing at first. It took me a moment to remember who was who. This is, after all, book 9 in a series (which ends setting things up the next one) so if that isn’t a dealbreaker for you, dive right in.
  
  The book kicks off with everyone celebrating Annie’s 46th birthday. Annie, a mom of 2 grown daughters and a widow for over a decade, is lonely and craving to have someone to grow old with. So, for her birthday wish, she wishes for her very own billionaire cowboy. Thinking it was just a silly wish, little did she know, her world would quickly change.
  
  Colton wanted to escape his reality and so he found his way to the lodge that very same night, hoping to have a place to stay. Little did he know too.
  
  This was a sweet and clean romance that very much involved family, faith, and second chances. 4 stars!

  I was conflicted about this book. I would rate It at 3.5 stars.
  
  Colton and Annie had an instant attraction when Colton made his appearance for shelter from the winter storm. It had only been 7 weeks since Colton had been left at the altar. Annie seemed a little desperate in wanting to make the relationship what she wanted and when she wanted it.
  
  There was serious instalove going on with Annie and Colton. I felt like they both were rushing into a level of their relationship neither one seemed to be quite ready for at the moment. Her jealousy was concerning. At least, I thought it was, and the way it was resolved was not comforting.
  
  There was a lot going on in this book with a number of people. The Lodge seemed to be a place of friendship, faith, love, and support. There are a number of untold stories there. We are also introduced to Colton's family. Will that be another series?
  
  This was a sweet romance that didn't necessarily follow a smooth path. Ultimately Colton and Annie reach their HEA.
  
  I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

  I love the Whitaker series but gave a 4 star for Annie's character being so jealous that it upset me. Annie is a woman in her late 40's with two grown children, her husband had passed away some time ago. A stranger shows up at the lodge where she works and immediately they have sparks for one another. Every time she see him talk to another single woman at the lodge, she gets mad and pouts like a two year old. After they have been snowed in at the lodge for 6 days she expects him to marry her. He takes off for Colorado to finalize the transfer of the family business to the cousins. Will he decide to stay in Colorado or will they work things out? I received an ARC of this book and I am giving an honest review.

  I really liked this start of a new series. There were so many great characters. I’m going to have to go grab the Coral Canyon series and binge read it before the next book comes out because of all the incredible characters I met in this book. The Christmas and family themes in this book were great. It was wonderful and homey. I also liked the thread of insecurity - that no matter who you are or what age, you may have to deal with it. I liked how it was handled and the push for honesty with each other scattered throughout this book.

  Annie is a widow in her forties who doesn't want to send the rest of her life alone. She works for great billionaire brothers at the Whiskey Mountain Lodge as a maid. Annie makes a birthday wish for a billionaire of her own! Billionaire Colton gets caught in a snowstorm in Wyoming and needs a place to stay. When he shows up at the Lodge during the family (and employees) birthday/Christmas party, the family makes room for him. You will enjoy this story as woman shy Colton is attracted to Annie! I received a complimentary e-book from the author. This is my honest opinion.

  One snowy evening someone knocks on the door of a B&B looking for a place to stay. It was closed for the holidays and family had gathered. However, they had one room that was available. He got it.
  Colton had just been left at the altar a couple of weeks back and Annie had been widowed many years ago. He was adjusting to his new life without a wife and she was ready to move on. How do you move on with someone who is not quite ready to move on?
