New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine
Bybee spins a dazzling tale of long-lost relatives, overnight riches, and
unexpected romance in the dramatic second book of The Heirs series.
Sarah McNeilly is a rare find in the tabloid industry. She
won’t ignite gossip. She finds the truth. And for once, that’s what her boss
wants. With her job on the line, Sarah’s latest assignment is to identify the
elusive “Maximillian Smith,” unearth his connection to the billionaire Stone
family, and dig up some dirt.
Yesterday Max was an ordinary workingman, concerned with
little more than the price of gas. Now he suddenly has a family, jaw-dropping
wealth, and an avid (if clumsy) reporter on his trail. With the press
threatening to destroy his new life, he needs to release his real story
strategically, and Sarah is the key—not to mention an adorable yet invaluable
resource for finding his mother.
As Max and Sarah team up to peel back the ugly layers of
Max’s past, they stumble heart-first into their fiery attraction. But when
their research threatens their newly built trust, it’s their future that is on
the line.
Sarah + Max
Max is so sweet and grumpy and he can't really believe that this is happening to him. He doesn't trust everything yet. And he's a bit scared to hope to finally have a family - siblings. So adorable. He had a pretty rough childhood. His mom left him when he was two and now he wants to find her and find out ... why? Why wasn't he lovable enough?
I really enjoyed reading this. It was so sweet and funny and cute and a bit heartbreaking and ... just great. I loved Max and Sarah so much and we see a lot of the people from the first book too. I so want to see this on TV one day. Poor orphan Max becoming a billionaire with a family overnight is just so adorable!
At the end off book one, All Our Tomorrows, Chase and Alex had inherited their father's fortune and had been looking for their other brother.
Now they have found Max Stone, and his story was just as cute and adorable.
Alex and Chase bring him into the family fold, and you can feel how it is not easy for him, with insta-family after the way he grew up. And I loved them even more for it.
And his love interest Sarah, well,wasn't she just great. I loved that she was not what Max thought he was at first, how she proved herself to both him and his siblings.
I liked this installment of The Heirs more than the first, and I look forward to more in the future.
