Okay, so ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL is a
friends-to-lovers-to-strangers-to-enemies-to-marrieds with a
secret baby thrown in. I am pretty much anti-secret baby,
with very few exceptions and this is not one of them. The
charm of the supporting cast and the overarching story saved
it for me, but this is my least favorite of the series. A
little too angsty, with a little too much stubborn-ness on
behalf of both our hero and heroine and a grovel that, while
elegant, did not suffice for me, it just didn't work.
However, Probst is one of the best there is at
characterizations and even when these folks were pissing me
off, I was invested. It takes a special talent to do that,
and while I can't say I'll revisit this one, I'm not
warning others off either.
If your particular trope-nip is a lady keeping a baby from a
young-ish dude because she loves him too much to hem him in,
then ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL is for you. If you've read the
rest of the series, but
are kind of turned off, let me tell you that the wrap up for
the other brothers is fantastic and I think you'll be happy
to roll your eyes through Tristan and Syd's angst to see
the total HEA.
HGTV’s Property Brothers meets The Marriage
Bargain in this third novel in the Billionaire Builders
series, an all-new sexy contemporary romance from New
York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.
Tristan Pierce left the family business to carve out a life
of his own, but never forgot his passionate affair with the
much younger, inexperienced Sydney Greene, or the hurtful
breakup that tore him apart. When he’s forced to return home
and face his past, will he be able to carve out a future, or
will lies ruin his second chance at love?
Sydney Greene loved Tristan her entire life but when he
left, he took not only her heart, but her trust along with
him. Now that they’re together again, it’s time they both
face the biggest secret of all...
