Caleb Pierce was already having a very bad day, when the
phone rang and he got the news that his father had a
heart attack. Caleb, sure that his hard-as-nails father
would pull through, never called his brothers.
As if to mock him from the grave, Christian Pierce died
but the old tyrant's iron grasp extends beyond the grave.
Caleb had been running the company for a few years, and
the Pierce brothers -- Caleb, Dalton, and Tristan -- had a
falling out when their mother died five years before. Caleb
always assumed the company would be his after his
father's passing, but the reading of the will proves to
be quite a shocker. The brothers have the choice of
either dissolving the company, which has been in the
family for generations, or that all three brothers live
in the same house and make a success of Pierce Brothers,
starting from scratch, which will be no piece of cake.
Morgan Raines, an interior designer artist, has clients
who want the best, and the best is Pierce Brothers. When
she asks Caleb to design a house for Hollywood's royalty,
he vehemently refuses, but Morgan pulls a reckless move,
which doesn't leave Caleb much choice, especially since
the clients are slowly going to other companies after the
death of the elder Pierce. The Southern belle is as tough
as Caleb, if only she weren't so attractive...
I wasn't too sure how I would like a series based on
contractors, but hey, this is Jennifer Probst we're
talking about, and of course she makes it work! I really
enjoyed the process of everything that goes into building
a dream home. Ms. Probst remains true to herself in
giving us well-developed characters, a very strong
heroine, and a romance that, in spite of the Caleb and
Morgan's initial attraction, needs work; there's a lot of
push and pull, as both are strong-willed and independent.
The banter is enjoyable overall, as well as the bickering
between the brothers, which is priceless, albeit not
always friendly. We get a good idea of what Tristan and
Dalton are all about, as well as several secondary
characters that will assuredly feature more prominently
in forthcoming books. There is a funny misunderstanding,
some hilarious episodes with Caleb's two dogs, as well as
mischief from an unwelcome critter.
Morgan also has a serious issue that begged for tissues,
and of course there are sexy times with our couple. With
EVERYWHERE AND EVERY WAY, Jennifer Probst has her new
series built on very solid ground indeed!
Hot on the heels of her beloved Marriage to a Billionaire
novels, New York Times bestselling author Jennifer
Probst nails it with the first in an all-new sexy romance
series featuring red-hot contractor siblings who give the
Property Brothers a run for their money!
Ever the responsible eldest brother, Caleb Pierce started
working for his father’s luxury contracting business at a
young age, dreaming of one day sitting in the boss’s chair.
But his father’s will throws a wrench in his plans by
stipulating that Caleb share control of the family business
with his two estranged brothers.
Things only get more complicated when demanding high-end
home designer Morgan hires Caleb to build her a customized
dream house that matches her specifications to a T—or she’ll
use her powerful connections to poison the Pierce brothers’
reputation. Not one to ignore a challenge, Caleb vows to get
the job done—if only he can stop getting distracted by his
new client’s perfect…amenities.
But there’s more to icy Morgan than meets the eye. And
Caleb’s not the only one who knows how to use a stud-finder.
In fact, Morgan is pretty sure she’s found hers—and he looks
quite enticing in a hard hat. As sparks fly between Morgan
and Caleb despite his best intentions not to mix business
and pleasure, will she finally warm up and help him lay the
foundation for everlasting love?
