I loved this story so much. From beginning to end it was perfection. All Our Tomorrows is the first story in a brand new series and I am here for every second of it. Catherine Bybee again proves why she’s always been one of my favorite writers.

Chase Stone and his sister Alex find themselves inheriting all of their absentee father’s estate, including his business. They are both nothing like their father and find themselves scrambling to pick up the pieces of his business. They look no further than their father’s personal assistant Piper Maddox, whom he fired a few weeks ago because she wouldn’t give in to his sexual advances. Piper initially wants nothing to do with working for them but agrees when her demands are met.

This story weaves a bit of a mystery as Chase and Alex are forced to confide in Piper about a missing half brother. As the three of them work together to unravel Senior Stone’s secrets, Piper and Chase grow unexpectedly close. Their attraction is palpable and unavoidable despite the horrible timing. And Piper has a secret of her own as well. Chase is unbelievably sweet and supportive of Piper. Their banter back and forth was so fun to read. And the real friendship between Piper and Alex is so special.

This story was the perfect beginning that left me wanting more. There’s a bit of a cliff hanger that leads into the next book but not enough of a cliff hanger to be frustrating. I cannot wait for the remainder of the books in this series to see how everything resolves.

Thanks to NetGalley, Catherine Bybee and Montlake for the ARC opportunity.

Piper constantly made so many jokes about how rich Chase is, and how she should have asked for a bigger raise when she accepted the position. I understand that they were only joking, but the jokes seemed to be in bad taste. It was like if the author didn’t want us to forget that Chase is rich.

My other thing that annoyed me is how Chase acts. I understand that Chase and Piper has mutual attraction, but that doesn’t mean that you are allowed to override someone’s boundaries. When someone says no, that doesn’t mean that you are supposed to keep pushing. Chase calls her outside of work hours and on days that she’s off just to hear her voice… Which is just mad crazy behavior because she is an employee who has dealt with his dad‘s advances. The only difference between Chase and his dad in this instance is that she finds him attractive.

Chase asked her to go to a black tie, work event, and she said no. He then told her that he would buy her an outfit, shoes, and purse… And at this point, she said yes, this only shows me that the author believes people can be bought. I don’t see the difference between him, offering her material goods for her affection and time versus his dad and the way he uses money to get women.

Women romanticize rich men so much that they are willing to ignore their creepy behaviors.

Excited for this new series! What a great start! I love Catherine Bybee's writing and this book does not disappoint. Great writing style, plot, romance, humor, drama and everything you expect from Bybee.

Chase and his sister Alex inherit their estranged father's billionaire hotel business both are stunned and basically unprepared. Their father was not a good role model or at all involved in their lives. Now both have to drop everything to try to keep everything running smoothly while learning the business. The biggest hurdle is finding the half brother they didn't even know they had as he gets one third of the business also. Chase and Alex find their biggest ally in Piper who was their father's executive assistant...who was fired weeks earlier when she refused the advances from the elder Stone. The more Piper and Chase work together, the more connection the two feel. Chase has never connected to a woman as well as he does with Piper however she is adamant nothing can happen. There are multiple reasons for this, the main being he is her boss and it would look poorly. She has another large reason also that she is hiding from everyone. All the reasons prove moot however as Chase wins her over. He has an answer for every hurdle that comes their way.

Definitely a great book. Love the romance but also having the suspense of finding the third sibling and the hostility from the corporate board and the widow. So much drama! Cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Love this first book in a new series!

I can already tell that this series will be as terrific as others by this author. I so enjoyed Piper and Chase’s story, and can’t wait for Alex’s. There is another brother, but I would be revealing a spoiler if I said anymore on that subject, so I won’t.

Every new character has been wonderful to meet. Chase and Alex are so down to earth I could imagine being friends with them. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Family squabbles and estates are my catnip. I just love seeing how these situations work themselves out. This one was sorta messy, but in a good way in the end. I've read other Romance books by Catherine Bybee and I really liked her style of writing. Chase and Piper make for a wonderful romance duo. He is caring and protective and she is smart and incisive. They face some struggles, but thy make quite the team. This one ends with a little cliffhanger, not all the plot points are resolved, but that just makes me look forward to the next book. Enjoy!

Chase Stone and his sister Alex have had very, and I mean very, little contact with their billionaire father. He basically wasn't a part of their lives and wasn't generous with his money either. The kids were better off without him. He was a real douchebag. Then daddy dearest dies the leaves them this fortune and a mission: find the son he fathered while married to their mother and share the inheritance with him.

Piper Maddox was fired by Aaron Stone because she refused to let him sexually harass her. Total douchebag. She really needed her job, really, really needed it. She is not heartbroken that Stone Sr. dropped dead. When Chase seeks her out about returning, because, frankly, he and Alex hadn't a clue how to run the company, Piper says no. She may need the job, but she didn't need the grief. But, after some honesty about why she was fired and a hefty raise, Piper agrees to work for Chase and Alex. Chase can be very charming, but in a cute way, not a swarmy way as with dear old dead dad.

In order to succeed Chase and Alex need Piper's insights into the corporation, how it runs and who to watch out for. What none of them needed was the insane attraction that sparks between Chase and Piper. Or Piper's little problem. As they search for the missing heir, they get some help from a wonderful family and learn what a real family and true friends are all about.

My thanks to the Publisher and Author for providing a complimentary digital Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this novel via NetGalley. This is my fair, honest and personal review. All opinions are mine alone and were not biased in any way.

From page 1 I knew I was going to love this book. Chase and his sister Alex inherit everything from their billionaire father that walked away from them years prior. Chase and Alex are such fantastic characters and then there’s the MFC Piper who is a spitfire and so easy to fall in love with. The appearance of Jack and Gaylord Morrison was a real treat! I seriously couldn’t put this one down because there were so many things going on and I couldn’t wait to see how everything was going to be resolved….but then the story ended and there were still things unresolved. I kept thinking there was a chapter or 2 missing or maybe there’s a bonus epilogue out there somewhere. This one left me hanging on several subplots that I assume will be picked back up and resolved in book 2. The unresolved subplots took away a star for me….as much as I absolutely loved this book I really didn’t like the way it just ended…so I’ll be here anxiously awaiting book 2.

This is one of those books that as soon as I finished it, I wanted to start from the beginning and read it all over again! Piper Maddox, assistant to Aaron Stone, chairman of Stone Enterprises, was fired just prior to his death. Aaron’s son and daughter, Chase and Alexandrea are now the unexpected heirs to his fortune. They had hoped to quietly ease into the company, but learned that the woman who knew everything about their father’s life had been fired. Now the first order of business is to get Piper to return. There is an attraction between Chase and Piper, but she tries to ignore those feelings as she has her own personal issue. Returning, Piper brings about some order, but there is an issue with the will that Chase and Alex must solve. As the search begins, they must deal with a board of directors who may have their own agenda, Chase must supervise his own successful business, Alex resigned her current position and of course there is the very unhappy and mercenary widow. What a riot from beginning to end…but stay tuned! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

I finished All Our Tomorrows by Catherine Bybee in one sitting. This book has everything. The billionaire family drama with the touch of mystery. An epic alpha hero with so much sweetness and protectiveness. A sassy heroine who can run the world even on her worst days. The tension of forbidden boss employee romance. Witty, slow burn and heartwarming moments. The pace was so good. It didn't have a single dull moment.

Chase and Alex Stone despise their billionaire father who abandoned them a long time ago. They are very successful in business world on their own.They are surprised when he leaves his entire business and estate to them in his will. There is a little issue. They have to find his illegitimate third child before they can sell the company. Chase need someone who knows his father but isn't afraid of speaking truth. And that's Piper Maddox. The assistant his father fired weeks before death because she didn't tolerate his father's indecent approach. As she slowly becomes more than his assistant, things get complicated.

I loved Piper so much. She came from a very conservative family and very small town. But she is smart and witty. She has a sharp mind and sharper tongue. She kept Chase on his toes with her plans. She can find information and solutions to complex problem with click of her fingers. It's so admirable that she kept on going like a warrior while her life was in jeopardy from a one night stand months ago. Chase played a big part in stabilizing her life. By giving back her job with well deserved raise and benefits. Showing her respect. Trusting her guts. Being more than a boss and taking care of her when she is sick or upset. Chase is at a tough point of his life. He doesn't want anything to do with his father's company. The resentment and anger is there. But he cannot let the employees down or let the lost half sibling to go without the inheritance. Piper was like a soothing balm on his raging soul. With her wit and sass, she gave him a lot of support. The chemistry was on from the first meeting but they resisted it so long. Chase was a protector even when he didn't know Piper's secret and after that..he was a complete caveman, in an adorable way. Their banter is life of this story. Billionaire romance or boss employee romance are such a common trope now but the author delivered it in a refreshing way. The deep emotional dynamics. The contrast of light hearted and heartbreaking moments. The sweet chemistry built scene by scene. Incredible characters and amazing secondary characters. A must read.

I reviewed an early copy voluntarily

OMG! I have never wanted the next book so much as I really NEED this one! Piper and Chase are my absolute favorites! Have I said how much I love this book! Chase and Alex are children of a "gazillionaire", but you would never know by the way they were raised until he dies and leaves everything to them and their unknown sibling. As they try to navigate their newfound responsibilities, they enlist the help of their father's assistant, Piper, who he had recently fired. She decided to come back and help the siblings after they offered her a deal she couldn't refuse, and it didn't hurt that Chase was hot and his sister, Alex, was very kind. Something the older Stone didn't know anything about due to the fact he was cold and a womanizer. As the three of them look for the missing sibling, Chase and Piper continue to grow closer. But she has a secret that could stop Chase from having anything to do with her. Is Chase a better man than his dad, and will he be the man Piper needs. Oh, I love this book, and the characters are wonderful and so interesting. I can't believe this is my first book by Catherine Bybee. ♥️

Sexy, sincere, and sophisticated!

All Our Tomorrows is a heartfelt, alluring tale that features the sweet, wary Piper and the handsome, capable Chase as they navigate a relationship that includes a shared secret and a common goal, a family mired in drama and troubles, smouldering tension, and undeniable attraction.

The writing is smooth and fluid. The characters are enigmatic, intelligent, and loyal. And the plot is an irresistible mix of family, friendship, revelations, deception, secrets, introspection, tender moments, passion, emotion, and swoon-worthy romance.

Overall, All Our Tomorrows is another tender, playful, charming read by Bybee that has, without a doubt, become one of my new all-time favourites and is an absolutely brilliant start for this new Heirs series.

I need the next book! I knew this was the beginning of a series but I wasn't expecting such an abrupt ending. What a way to keep the audience waiting anxiously for book 2. I really enjoyed this first book and can't wait to see what is going to happen as the series continues. Piper is a fantastic FMC and Chase is an appropriate counterpart to her. There are some twists and turns that keep you guessing. Highly recommend reading this one.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for advanced copy, and I give my review freely

When I saw how many 5 stars this book got, I had to request it from NetGalley and I totally agree! What a great story with great characters. I’ve never read any books by this author but I look forward to many more. The book starts out at Chase and Alex’s father’s estranged father and it just gets better and better from there. Secrets, lies, all the makings for a terrific story line. Highly recommend this one. And it looks like they’ll be a sequel to this one so I’m already looking forward to the next one. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book had an interesting storyline, likeable characters and a good,slow burn to the romance story.
An easy to read book which I enjoyed. I look forward to the next book in this new Series.

. It centers on Chase and Alex, whose absentee father dies, leaving them a massive inheritance with conditions that force them to revisit their past. This story focuses on Chase as he takes over the family business and rehires Piper, his father's assistant. Together, they manage the company and search for a sibling Chase never knew about. A will stipulation compels Chase and Alex to involve Piper, who has her own secret—she's pregnant from a one-night fling.

The narrative delves into Piper's emotions about her pregnancy, her conservative parents, her adjustment to a wealthy environment, and her growing affection for Chase. Chase, portrayed as smart, charming, and kind, complements Piper, who is intelligent and strong. Their workplace romance blossoms as Piper learns to rely on Chase. Additionally, Chase's supportive and loyal relationship with his sister enhances the story.

I really loved this story. Piper had been fired from her job at Stone Enterprises as her boss kept hitting on her and he decided to cut her loose with false accusations. Chase and Alex were his children from his first wife and had had nothing to do with him for years, so when the will was read, they were shocked for many reasons including a surprise relative. As Chase and Alex take over the main company, he looks into why Piper was fired and hires her back. She comes back relunctantly but helps immensely find the information they need about his father's estate, businesses and personal information.
This story was very good in so many ways. I would not want to give too much away, but who to trust was very important to Chase and Alex.. They learned who not to trust and found new friends in doing so. I highly recommend this book and can't wait until the next chapter of this story. I've never been disappointed in a Catherine Bybee book yet.

Down-to-earth, savvy leads😍

This was a great beginning to a new Catherine Bybee romance series. It's got an easy flow thanks to the author's writing style, realistic dialogue, sympathetic leads and a catchy plot.

The leads, even new gazillionaire Chase and his sister Alex, are down-to-earth, stunned by their change in circumstances when father/hotel magnate Aaron Stone leaves his children a huge business empire and fortune after a lifetime of ignoring them. Piper, the female lead, is savvy and not afraid to speak her mind, the ever-efficient executive assistant. Together, the leads really work and Bybee has included a family mystery to solve and some devious players ready to snatch the business away from the Stone family.

I also found the way Bybee handled the romance optimally enjoyable. It's a bit of slow burn, getting closer as they work together, with the heat, when it erupts, not too graphic: just what I like.

I've become a big fan of this author and can't wait until her next release. This one ends happily but with a cliffhanger of sorts related to the business and one of the Stone heirs. I did not require that in order to plan to read the rest of this series when it surfaces.

Thanks to Montlake and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion. My review has already been shared with Barnes & Noble, Bookbub and Goodreads.

Title: All Our Tomorrows
Author: Catherine Bybee

Review:

✨★★★★☆ 4.5/5 Stars

Catherine Bybee’s "All Our Tomorrows" is a rollercoaster of emotion, intrigue, and romance that will keep readers enthralled from start to finish. Bybee seamlessly interweaves the complexities of family secrets, reluctant inheritances, and burgeoning romance to craft a narrative that is both gripping and heartwarming.

The story begins with Chase Stone, a man abruptly thrust into a world he never wanted to be part of. After the unexpected death of his estranged father, Chase and his sister Alex inherit a multibillion-dollar business empire—a reality far removed from their humble upbringing. The discovery of a previously unknown half-brother adds a layer of urgency and mystery to their already tumultuous lives.

Chase’s journey is intensified by his interaction with Piper Maddox, the former übercapable assistant to the late Mr. Stone. Piper’s abrupt firing before Mr. Stone’s death leaves her in a precarious position, both financially and emotionally. Though initially reluctant to re-enter the Stone family orbit, Piper's return to Stone Enterprises sets the stage for a series of electrifying interactions with Chase. Their relationship develops with notable tension, chemistry, and eventual depth, making it a cornerstone of the novel.

Bybee excels in creating characters with relatable vulnerabilities and strengths. Chase, while grappling with his newfound responsibilities, is portrayed as a grounded individual, struggling to adapt to an unfamiliar corporate jungle. Piper, with her no-nonsense attitude and independence, provides a perfect counterbalance. Her need for financial security and Chase's earnest desire to do right by his father's legacy create a compelling dynamic that readers will find hard to resist.

The hunt for their mysterious half-brother adds a thrilling layer of suspense to the narrative. Bybee artfully increases the stakes, with Chase and Piper discovering secrets that could either bond them closer or drive them apart. The element of mystery intertwined with the romance keeps readers engaged, continually guessing what revelation might come next.

Piper and Chase’s chemistry is undeniably electric, and Bybee doesn’t shy away from exploring their mutual attraction while balancing it with their individual dilemmas. Their interactions, filled with witty banter, heartfelt moments, and rising tension, form the emotional crux of the story. Bybee builds their relationship patiently, making their eventual connection feel earned and deeply satisfying.

One of Bybee’s strengths is her ability to write secondary characters that enrich the narrative. Alex, Chase’s sister, and other supporting figures add layers and dimensions to the primary storyline, making the world of "All Our Tomorrows" feel fully fleshed out and realistic.

"All Our Tomorrows" is almost flawless, though it sometimes dips into predictable territory. However, the engaging characters and well-paced plot more than make up for any minor predictability, ensuring that the reader’s interest never wanes.

In conclusion, "All Our Tomorrows" is a deftly crafted, emotionally resonant story that combines high-stakes business drama, deep family secrets, and a romance that feels both inevitable and deeply earned. Catherine Bybee has delivered a novel that is sure to appeal to fans of romance and suspense alike. If you are looking for a book that offers a perfect blend of intrigue, heart, and passion, "All Our Tomorrows" is a must-read. Prepare to be swept away by Chase and Piper’s story, and find yourself eagerly turning pages to discover what tomorrow holds for them.

Chase & Piper ❤️

🏨Chase and his sister Alex grew up estranged from their father, the billionaire owner of a large hotel chain. When Aaron Stone passes away, no one is more surprised than his children who inherit his shares and take over his role of CEO. It’s a new world to navigate, and a mystery sibling to hunt down.

💻When Chase discovers his father had recently fired his assistant Piper, he knows he needs her back in the office. He just isn’t banking of how much he will feel for her.

📚I have read a few of Catherine Bybee’s series and was excited to start this new one. The author brings her own experience as an ER nurse to the story, with insights into unplanned pregnancy and the turmoil it can cause coming through strongly in this story. I love how capable Piper is in so many aspects, but her vulnerability shines through too. She’s caring, super smart and I was definitely rooting for Chase to win her over. This guy is a true book-boyfriend that takes responsibility, makes grown decisions and communicates easily, not only with Piper but also with his sister Alex and his mom. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

Time to dive into a new series from Catherine Bybee, and she has not disappointed with All Our Tomorrows.

This was a cute read, with a bit of family drama and intrigue thrown into the mix.

Add in a fantastic sister, and we had a pretty darn enjoyable book.

Piper is so good. She runs this book like she runs Stone's life lol - without blinking an eye, she has every else organised, even when her life is a bit topsy turvy.

Of course we get our HEA, but now I am so invested, I need for Alex to find hers, and am intrigued with the new brother.

Looking forward to the next in the series, I am.

Chase’s life is turned upside down when his estranged father dies and leaves him and his sister his company. He also leaves them with a mystery they need to solve.

Chase believes their dad’s former assistant can help and it turns out Piper is exactly who they need.

Piper is relieved to have her job back as she has her own issues to deal with.

They form an unlikely alliance, but it turns out that they have very similar values and work so well together. They bond over the work they are doing and eventually they can’t deny the attraction between them.

There are so many things that should keep them apart, but they are meant to be together.

It was really sweet watching their relationship grow. Chase gave Piper someone in her corner when she needed it most. Piper kept him grounded and brought sunshine in to his life.

I really liked the mystery element of the story and loved the crossover to a previous series.

I am really looking forward to seeing what comes next as the story unfolds.
