Can best friends become best lovers?

As teenagers, Amy Carrigan and Teddy McCabe made a solemn vow to each other: if they didn’t find their soul mates by thirty, they’d start a family…together. Now, with everyone around her having babies, Amy is afraid motherhood will pass her by. That’s when the sexy rancher pops the question. If best friends can’t help each other out, who can? Teddy wants the same thing Amy does. Now he’s holding her to their promise of long ago.

Their wedding stuns everyone in town – including the McCabe and Carrigan clans. But no one is more surprised than Teddy and Amy when their close bond deepens into something even more precious. Together, will they ring in the New Year with a baby of their own?

This review is from: The Rancher's Christmas Baby (Harlequin American Romance @ 1189) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Laramie, Texas teenagers Amy Carrigan and Teddy McCabe are best friends. They make a pledge that if they fail to find their respective soulmate by the time they turn thirty, they will marry one another and raise a family together.

Years later, Amy's friends are not only married, but are having babies. Sadly Amy remains single having not met her love of a lifetime, but refuses to settle for less. However, Teddy remembers the vow as if it was yesterday not over a decade ago; so he asks Amy to marry him. She accepts his proposal as she figures if she has to settle for less than everlasting love, no one could match her pal Teddy. Their respective families are shocked to say the least and all have opinions on the upcoming nuptials. However, neither expected to find their soulmate with each other, but that first kiss reveals the truth.

This Texas version of When Harry Met Sally is an amusing contemporary romance starring likable lead characters and eccentric somewhat zany secondary players who have good intentions as they want the best for Amy and Teddy, but cause plenty of humorous havoc. The story line combines warmth with jocularity as the best friends become much more. Readers will enjoy this lighthearted romantic romp.
