Veena’s review of All Our Tomorrows (The Heirs, Book 1) by Catherine Bybee
Contemporary Romance published by Montlake 18 Jun 24
When the will was read, no one was more surprised than siblings Chase and Alex that their estranged billionaire father has left their estate to them and to find they have a sibling they knew nothing about and who has a share in the estate. Now they have to take over running the business, find their sibling, and thwart the evil stepmother and everyone else who is lusting after the money. Simple? Anything but.
Chase is successful in his own right and will have to give up running his own company on a day-to-day basis to help his sister Alex run his father’s hospitality business. Alex, of course, has the most experience, since she works for a rival hospitality chain that she’ll need to give up, in order to come on board. They both need his father’s executive assistant, who was fired a week before their father died under strange circumstances, and Chase knows he needs to get her back in order to successfully navigate the rough weather that is blowing in their direction.
Chase, Piper, and Alex form quite the team. It is inevitable that Chase and Piper fall in love. I originally thought that Piper might have some form of incurable disease and was relieved that it was a surprise pregnancy from a one-night stand, but it’s Chase’s reaction that totally won my heart. As they search for their unknown sibling, the three find all kinds of secrets hidden in undisclosed locations in their father’s home. What is going on?
Between corporate espionage and intrigue, family drama, and a beautiful love story, the book sweeps you up into their lives such that you just can’t put it down. An excellent start to a new trilogy from the author.
Grade: A
Summary:
When Chase Stone’s estranged father dies, leaving his multibillion-dollar business to his children, no one is more surprised than Chase. Growing up outside of the high-stakes world filled with human vultures, Chase and his sister, Alex, are less than enthusiastic about stepping into their father’s shoes. That is until they learn of a half-brother they didn’t know existed and must find to share their inheritance with.
Piper Maddox was the elder Mr. Stone’s übercapable assistant—abruptly fired two weeks before his death. She knows everything about Stone Enterprises and the man who built it. But Piper has no desire to work for another member of the Stone family. Even one as down-to-earth as Chase.
Desperately needing financial security, Piper agrees to return so long as kissing up to Chase and accepting unwanted advances are not part of her job description. A promise that becomes a serious hurdle for both of them. Piper and Chase scramble to find the third Stone sibling before the media does, sharing secrets along the way. Secrets that can bring them together or tear them irrevocably apart.
