She didn't expect to fall in love with her best friend...
On paper, Parker’s life is amazing. His tech company is worth billions, he works just a few hours a day, calls the Florida Keys home, and has a smoking hot girlfriend. Sounds pretty sweet.
And that doesn’t even take into account that his best friend, Sienna, helps him keep his life both fun and grounded. But it is with her that things go a little sideways. He has felt himself attracted to her for some time, and she has long carried a torch for him, but neither let each other know.
Instead, Parker proposes to Rachel, a cold but beautiful woman who seems to work extra hard to keep him distant but his money close. Sienna can see this, but Parker is blind to it, perhaps willfully in an effort to keep Sienna off his mind. But as the wedding draws closer, Sienna becomes convinced that she must do something to stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life. Will she be able to dissuade him from marrying Rachel? And will she be able to let her guard down and admit her feelings if she does?
Billionaire's Best Woman is a steamy standalone billionaire wedding romance novel. No cheating. No cliffhangers. HEA.
This was an ok story. I liked Parker and Sienna and their relationship. I just felt Parker was way to oblivious to what was going on around him. I also think certain parts of the story ran on for too long. Overall though it was an ok read.
The main male character Parker made this novel unbearable! The storyline makes sense but it was painful to read. No amount of redemption can make up for his apparent lack of emotional intelligence. The character came across as dim and dull. Sienna and Tony helped, but this novel was beyond salvageable.
The star is for the heroine and for the free books ONLY!
Let me tell you, the male MC is the MOST DUMBEST (double adj.) main male character that I've encountered in my entire readership... which is a deal! I've read a lot of books and this guy tops it all.
***Spoilers*** the main mc has a gf. A self absorb, pretentous, gold digging biatch... and HE, believes she's still a virgin and is waiting for the ring to do the deed. They've been together for year and not even the finger and oral action is utilized. She "sleeps" with him without any touching and when the he tried to kiss her, she told him, he has morning breath. Seriously??? But he still adores her because he believes that she's just who she is, his innocent and beautiful Rachel. He proposed and of course, she said yes, and started ordering the guy to give her the most opulent wedding of the century and then next thing happened, she went of on a vacation with her friend ( & then sleep with more than one guy during her one week flush vacation) and left the male MC to do all the works and demanding that the he MUST give her what feels she deserve. The dummy (male MC) just brush it off all the snarky, uninterested but demanding attitude of Rachel... because HE loves her! And when his bff (his best woman), the female MC, told him all about the cheating of Rachel, he unfriended her! There's more of the stupidity of the guy, but I wont write it 'cause, it think it will be re-writing the whole book.
The hero and his best friend seem to have a very fun relationship, which i enjoyed reading about but the story dragged towards the end. The hero was just too clueless for me. His gf was acting too cold and materialistic for him to not realize that she doesn't love him at all... Other than her being "super hot" (maybe, but even that's a stretch for me), I don't understand how he could think that he's in love with her enough to bend over backwards to marry her. I also didn't like the message it sent to the readers. So, if a gf doesn't sleep with you before marriage it's a sign that she doesn't love you? That someone have to be religious to want to save him/herself before marriage? I feel it's a personal choice and shouldn't be questioned like that. But at the same time, it didn't make sense that his gf would sleep over at his place at all if she doesn't even want to cuddle or talk. There's no redeeming quality at all about her which would make their relationship believable especially with how much he's sacrificing to marry her. It didn't describe how they got together or refer to any pleasant memories that he had of being her so insult his best friend like that makes me feel like he doesn't deserve to figure it out at the end.
Stupid woman willing to be the best man for her bestfriend’s wedding to a cheating whore. When she told him about her cheating fiancee, he didnt believe her. He got cold feet and cancelled the wedding. Apologize to his bestfriend and they fucked. Seriously retarded woman willing to be with him. Exceptionally dragging useless story.

Great Book! I have many different emotions about this, good and bad. I love how everything works out in the end. I hate how Parker couldn't see the truth about his so-called fiance. I love and hate Sienna loyalty to Parker. All in all, this is a great read that draws me in from start to finish.
Loved this. The story was well written and I loved the characters an the way their lives intertwined. I even had a tear in my eye at the wedding photo. But you'll see what I mean when you read it.
I'd make only one criticism, and that's the whole Rachel thing. It was kind of left hanging for me. You'll know what I mean when you read it.
Sienna owns a diner and has one employee, her friend Tony. Together they make amazing food that keeps the regulars flooding back.
Parker is Sienna's best friend and she has loved him for so long, but he's saying another woman, Rachel. Parker is a self made billionaire and Rachel is rather attached to his money, so tells him that they can't have sex unless they're properly involved. Basically, he has to put a ring on it first. So he does. But she comes up with excuse after excuse as to why tonight can't be the night. Then she ups the ante. No sex until their wedding night. He can do that. As he only had one best friend, he asks Sienna to be his Best Man/woman.
Sienna and Tony seem to be the only ones who can see through Rachel's act and recognise her for the gold digging bitch she really is, but they say love is blind and Parker seems to be blinder than most.
Sienna over heard a conversation between Rachel and her friend that puts her back up and she confronts Parker about it, only to have him accuse her of being that low as to gr8 and break them up with false accusations. He then tells her that maybe she shouldn't be his Best Man and not come to the wedding.
Mrs devastated than ever, Sienna needs to find a way to get through this, or risk losing her best friend forever.
Parker is a business mogul who knows his way around social media and the internet. Sienna owns this great diner named Sunny Daes and her best friends are Tony and Parker. Parker and Sienna have known each other since they were kids. Parker is dating this gold digging slut named Rachel who claims to be a virgin and won't have sex until she's married but has no problem spending Parker's money and using him like a tool. Sienna and Rachel dont like each other at all. Sienna knows Rachel's not good enough for her best friend and keeps her mouth shut. Parker decides to marry Rachel and ends up doing all the planning by himself while she either goes on a vacation with her friend or parties on his dime. Sienna sees right through her though. She is Parkers best man and throws him the best bachelor party ever! After the party is over she takes him drunk and puts him to bed where he confesses his love for her. Rachel returns from her vacation and she goes to Sunny Daes with her friend and while they are there her friend lets it slip that she cheated on Parker while they were gone. Does Sienna tell Parker about this or keep her mouth shut? Does she tell him that she loves him? Does she tell him that she he loves her? Does Parker marry Rachel? Do they get a HEA?
>I am an independent reviewer. This is a standalone contemporary romance with an HEA. Sienna and Parker have been BFFs forever. They share a lot of history and friendship. Both have had a secret crush on the other, but Parker fights it by dating. Sienna fights the attraction by working herself to death at her diner. I loved both Parker and Sienna. They are both very caring and compassionate individuals. That being said, I felt it was completely out of character for Parker to be so blind to his gold digging fiancée. When she refused to contact him a week before the wedding and left to go on a vacation, I would think a huge red flag would wake Parker up. When Sienna tells Parker about his fiancee’s infidelity, Parker refuses to believe Sienna.
>I love seeing the relationship with Parker and Sienna, but Parker just seemed very clueless for a successful business man. I did feel like he was being mentally abused and the HEA was so very sweet. The side characters made the story shine. This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. I needed a little bit more realism between Parker and the gold digger.
Parker and Sienna have been best friend since they were kids. They never dated, because Parker thought they wouldn't be friends in the end. Sienna has always wanted more with Parker but never made a move. So when Parker gets engaged, Vienna tries to be his best man at his wedding. She's quiet until she knows his fiance more. Great read. This book has four extra books. First extra book is called Beauty and the billionaire with Corsica and Penn. Second extra book is called Bad coach with Eryn and Wade. Third extra book is called Investigated Billionaire with Delilah and Brandon. Last extra book is called Billionaire's Passion with Marcy and Dean.
I have to admit, this started out as interesting. But it dragged on so badly towards the end that I truly felt I should just stop reading.
The hero was too much of a milk toast for me, and the heroine, if you could ever call her that, didn't convince me she even liked him, let alone loved him.
Then we have the dozen, yes I know I'm exaggerating, stories that follow in the kindle version of this book. Good grief. Sell a story and write it well enough that it can stand on its own, this one wasn't. The writing style needs to become a tad more adult, and the character development needs to match the story line.
A sweet and sexy romance about best friends who almost miss out on the best thing to happen to them. Sienna and Parker have been best friends almost all their lives. Then, Parker decides to get married to another woman and asks Sienna to be his best man. Sienna knows Rachel is a gold digger but is afraid she will lose Parker's respect if she points it out. So, she tries to be the best man she can be. The book has a few twists and turns and you might want to beat Parker because he seems to be blind. But, in the end, you will cheer for this pair of friends.
Billionaire's Best Woman (Billionaires #5) was a great read by Claire Adams. Sienna never expected to fall in love with her best friend, Parker. He seems to have the perfect life with a tech company worth billions and is newly engaged. He has felt himself attracted to her some time but neither person knows Howe the other feels. He finds himself engaged to Rachel who does everything to keep him distant but his money close. Parker doesn’t see it even though Sienna always has. I really enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
This is truly an addictive read. The relationship and banter between the friends is so natural and casual which is a talent to create and get across - great job Claire - the story and question will they / won't they was executed with a real hook making the reader wait and knowing how close it was - which was would it go. My only niggle which I wanted was to wrap up what happens with Rachel did she or didn't she? It's romantic contemporary writing at its best
I really enjoyed the romance in this story. I thought that Sienna and Parker were just so right together as friends and lovers and in love. I loved the sentiment around the older couple and had a few tears in my eyes at several points. Lovely HEA for a lovely couple. Great read.
Billionaire 's Best Woman - A Standalone Novel (A Billionaire Wedding Romance
Great Read and all of the other stories included in the book. My first book by Claire Adams but definitely not my last one. I look forward to reading her other books.
I could not understand why this book took up so many pages as it was pages and pages of either nothing happening (Sienna cooking bacon) or Parker acting so unbelievably thick that it almost became a comedy.
I skim read it in the end as there wasn't much to hold my attention.
I really enjoy Claire Adams books and this was no exception. I felt there were lots of different themes and I can't pick one so you have to read them all.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
I love Claire Adams books. She always brings life to her characters story with a history of their past, why they are friends and how they find themselves in a situation that if it was a snake it woudl have bit them vibe in them. A mouthful right??? Well this book will have you shocked, mad, laughing, crying and doing a happy dance at the end. Love Sienna. She's strong, independant and don't take crap from anyone. But when her eyes are opened finally and she realizes that the man she's in love with is about to get married to a cheating and lying golddigger it's too late. Or is it? Parker has to open his own eyes first before he makes the biggest mistake of his life. Sienna has been his best friend forever, so why does he suspect her to be jealous of his relationship with Rachel? Has she ever lied to him? That's what Parker needs to realize before saying his 'I do's' to Rachel. A must read for sure!
This book may be part of a series but is completely a stand alone.
This book left me wanting more and feeling frustrated. Rachel was ugh... How could Parker not see her for who she was. And the pivotal turning point of the book was left with such a big unanswered question.
