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.

. 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.

Chase’s father died, and in turn, has left him a multibillion-dollar business. Chase isn’t quite sure what to do, but at the same time, he finds out that he and his sister have a half-brother.

Piper was let go as Chase’s dad’s assistant, mainly because she turned down his advances. But now she’s back, as Chase’s assistant because she needs the money.

As Chase and his sister, with the help of Piper hunt down their long lost sibling before the media does. But secrets have a way of coming out…


What a sweet story! I always get a kick out of the boss/assistant romance. It’s one of the forbidden romance tropes that always seems to work for me. Billionaire romances are also a special treat when done well, and this book is done well. The writing is captivating and engaging and really caught my attention. I felt that the way Piper and Chase ended up coming together was done nicely. I like how the relationship progressed naturally and not forcefully.

I think that this book sets the series up well. There is great world building, while still leaving a few open ends for the remainder of the series. I do wish that we would have gotten a few more answers in book one for the length, but I do understand why the author went this direction (still want answers though, so I guess I’ll read book 2! – ha).

This was my first Catherine Bybee book, but it won’t be my last. I can’t wait to see where this series ends up.

Thank you to Netgalley along with the author Catherine Bybee for letting me read & review this advanced book copy. This was a four star contemporary romance read that had me hooked from start to finish. The story is about two siblings whose father passes away but leaves them with a huge inheritance, but they learn they have a half brother. They now need to go on a journey to find their half brother.

I have read most of Catherine Bybee's book. She always has a way of drawing the reader into the story. Making you feel like you are there.
This book is no different. You will fall in love with the characters, cheering on the hero and hating the villian. This series follows 2 brothers and a sister. I am looking forward to the 2nd book in the series to see what happens next. Great job Catherine.

Reading a Catherine Bybee book is like catching up with a good friend. It made me smile, not wanted the book to end yet needing to know what happens.
Estranged son and daughter are left with an inheritance that leads to love and a missing sibling.
Looking forward to the next installment already.

Omg! I love this story so much!
~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m a sucker for billionaire stories. I really am. This story has everything wonderful attached to it that we crave in a romance.

Wonderful characters who are heartwarming, kind, and loving, even with their circumstances. I love the main male lead, Chase. He is just a doll and Bybee could not have created a better partner for him in Piper. These two together are fire and I found myself tearing up at the relationship and steam they create together.

I think I’m even more excited that All Our Tomorrows is part of a new series and I cannot wait to find where all of this will lead.

But one thing good to know is that this story does not end on a typical cliffhanger. It gives us a natural close with the door still open for more to come in future stories. I cannot wait for more!!

DNF
I am giving this a neutral 3 stars as I unfortunately couldn't finish reading it. I'm unsure why but I just couldn't get into this new books by Catherine Bybee. I'm not sure if it was the writing or the characters or both but I didn't feel connected to the story and so decided to DNF.

I loved this start to a new series. It grabbed me immediately and didn’t let go until the end. So much good conflict to this story. Chase and his sister, Alex are estranged from their father when he died. Even despite this, he left them his entire fortune and the family business. Piper, the heroine, was strong, confident and stood up for what she believed in. She’d been Chase’s father’s assistant but had been fired before the father died.
Chase and Alex need Piper’s help. This is where all the good stuff begins. This book was well written with well developed characters and a fun storyline. I can’t wait for the next book. This is a fun summer read. Huge thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book!

I loved this book! And I'm so excited about this new series. I absolutely adored the heroine, Piper, with all her sass and straight shooting. Chase was a dream hero; mature, smart, and protective. I loved the dynamic between these two. I was bit concerned with a part of the storyline (it's not a favorite of mine), but I loved the sibling relationship between Chase and his sister Alex, and I am already completely hooked on this family. I cannot wait for the next books in this series!

When a multi-millionaire hotel chain owner dies, he leaves the bulk of his estate and fortune to his two estranged adult children, Chase and Alex Stone. They don’t want it, and don’t have the first clue how to run this empire left to them. The one person that can help them has been let go by their father and when Chase locates Piper Maddox, he will do everything he can to get her back to her job as PA to the CEO of the empire left to him and his sister.

Piper is very reluctant to come back, even when she can tell that working for Chase and Alex would be totally different and they need her to help them find a secret that their father kept from everyone, family and employees that will eventually make a difference to the company status. Also, Piper is keeping a secret of her own and she needs this job to have financial happiness, and her growing attraction to Chase might very well be something that will keep them apart as they search for the missing heir...

Catherine Bybee has certainly started this new series off with a bang. She has given us romance, intrigue, a little suspense and a cute dog that steals the show and lots of great characters and a story line that keeps her readers turning the pages to see what happens next with Piper and Chase in their search for a future together. We even got some great characters from a previous series to make this book even more enjoyable to read. Catherine also deals with a topic that may have hit home with a lot of women, I know it did me and I could so sympathize with Piper's situation. I can’t wait for the next book in this series to see what happens with the next two siblings and the Stone empire.
An advanced copy was supplied to me through NetGalley for my voluntary review of this book.
A five-star read for sure.

I loved this book. Let me say it a little louder I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!

I mean, the setting, the characters, the witty banter, the believability of the characters, the plot threaded with who can you trust, the siblings, the office, the private plane... I MEAN I LOVED IT ALL!

Stalking Netgalley for book two because I need it in my life this minute!
