Review: Inheriting Miss Fortune by Lucy Lennox (The Billionaire Brotherhood #3)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

Lucy Lennox takes readers back to Majestic, Wyoming with the third novel in her Billionaire Brotherhood series, and if you've read the previous book, then you're probably like me, eager to find out all about Devon McKay, Tully Bowman, and a little girl named Eleanor Kathryn Scott, more affectionately known as Lellie in Inheriting Miss Fortune. When Dev sees the man with the toddler approaching him on the ranch he works and lives at, he easily recognizes Tully, the lawyer with whom he shared a mutual friend, Katie Scott, and a night neither of the two men have ever forgotten. The toddler is someone he's never met, but one look at Lellie, and Dev quickly realizes that she shares his genes. With Katie's untimely passing, Tully being both her close friend and trusted lawyer, was tasked to find Dev--and not just to inform him that he's basically inherited his daughter, but also to figure out if Dev actually wants Lellie. After all, Dev claims he wouldn't make a good father. Will spending time with the little girl he can't help but love and the man he started falling for two years ago show Dev he's worthy of forever?

I'm a sucker for the single parent trope, but Lucy Lennox took it up a notch with a single guy who suddenly found himself becoming a single parent. Add in what led to Dev having little Lellie in his life and that it was Tully, the guy who made Dev's world tilt on its precarious axis. Their journey to becoming a family--and with Tully and Lellie being welcomed as part of the found family that is the Billionaire Brotherhood and those who have partners plus Kenji (of course)--wasn't easy, especially given the fact that there were hurdles in the form of Katie's parents, Tully's perceived conflict of interest, and Dev's guilt over his younger brother's death and his estrangement from his parents. But, boy, oh boy, how that happily-ever-after had me a wee bit teary-eyed and smiling softly with satisfaction. There was some angst, a fair amount of humor, and lots of sweet and steamy moments, with most of the story playing out in all its majesty in Majestic (see what I did there?). Inheriting Miss Fortune gets five stars and sets up what looks to be an intriguing story in the upcoming fourth Billionaire Brotherhood book nicely.

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

Release Blitz: Blue Skies by Marie Sinclair

Blue Skies (Blue Skies #1) by Marie Sinclair Release Date: October 11, 2023 About Blue Skies Greg loves his job as a flight attendant. If only his love life could make him as happy, he’d be all set. Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg...
