This was one of those books that really made me angry to the point that I wasn't sure I could continue reading.
I really liked Tristan up to a certain point where his behavior took a wild left turn for me. While I totally understand the place he was coming from and why he was so angry, it was the extreme way he took out his anger that had me wanting to throw my kindle and curse out author. Never the less I pushed through and I'm really happy that I did.
I won't lie and say that I'm completely satisfied with the way things went but I understand why they went that way and how it contributed to the relationship between Tristan and Sydney.
I think that the simple fact that I could feel so passionate about the characters and their story means that the writing was so good that I was completely invested and that's all I can ask for from an author and a book.
This was the final book in the Billionaire Builder's Series and I'm sad to see it come to an end but I love the journey that these brothers took me on and I will totally come back to visit the Pierce brothers in the future.

When she was younger, Sydney Green loved Tristan Pierce fiercely. She didn't have a lot of love in her life and she was able to find a little with Tristan until he unceremoniously dumped her. Now they've been working together at the Pierce Brothers Construction. And he's the only one standing between her and what she wants, a giant promotion. Well, she's damn good at her job so he doesn't stand in her way for long. It seems like a lot of their old hurts are being mended. Tristan is even taking some interest in Sydney's daughter, something he didn't seem to be able to do for a long time. Now there's just one more secret left to be told...
I didn't love how they resolved this secret. It was a bit... contrived. This was not my favorite Probst series though this actually was the best book in the bunch.

This book did not live up to what I hoped, unfortunately. I loved the last Pierce Brothers book I read, and I loved parts of it, but there was one aspect I couldn’t get passed.
SYNOPSIS: Sydney has been in love with Tristan since she was a child. When they were older they had a brief passionate relationship that ended with them both hurting. Now, years later, they are working together and trying to fight out anger and passion towards one another.
I loved the timelines flashing back to early moments of Tris and Syd. I loved seeing Cal and Dalton, Raven and Morgan.
My Issue: MULTIPLE times throughout the novel Sydney says no to sex with Tristan. Mostly because she’s mad, or making a point, but he ‘chases’ her and holds her down until she gives in. As much as it tries to seem cute an romantic, it gave me really bad vibes and I have trouble moving past it.
Overall I still look forward to other books by this author, but that aspect of Tristan made this a let down for me, 2.5 ⭐️

Aaannndd I couldn’t persevere.
I just couldn’t with the writing.
I should’ve known when the first page contained this line and I couldn’t stifle my laugh, He parted her thighs and slid home.
Ohmaga...

ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL is book three in the Billionaire Builders series and is a second chance contemporary romance. It's a standalone within the series and characters from the first two books make a reappearance but I had no problem jumping right in. This is actually my first read from author Jennifer Probst, not sure why because I really enjoyed this story!
Tristan is the middle brother and Sydney is like the sister they never had. She's always loved him but things fell apart for them in a very hurtful way after Tristan's mother dies and Tristan leaves to New York. Now, he's back and as they spend more time working together, the old flame reignites. But Sydney's holding a huge secret.
These two characters just broke my heart! They were so hurtful towards each other, whether it was intentional or not. Tristan was sexy, charming and slightly awkward in the beginning with Sydney's daughter but after learning her secret, he became so cold and pretty manipulative. And although I ultimately understood why Sydney kept her secret, I didn't necessarily agree with it! She was a strong woman in the workplace but a little insecure in her relationship with Tristan. It was just simply heartbreaking to watch these two tear the other up.
But the story's not all tears and sadness. I found myself laughing out loud, sighing at some pretty sexy scenes and swooning at the end. It was an emotional rollercoaster and I loved the ride! Told from dual POVs with a sweet ever after. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Předchozí dva díly jsem si opravdu užila a těšila jsem se na trojku, abych měla ty příběhy kompletní. Sydney jsem měla ráda, ale Tristan mi od začátku přišel trochu divný a bohužel kvůli němu musím dát nižší hodnocení. Hodně se mi líbila postava Sydney, dospělá a nezávislá žena, která se dokáže postarat o sebe a svou dceru, uvědomuje si svoje kvality a nebojí se bojovat o svoje místo. Bohužel tristan mě hodně zklamal, hlavně ve druhé polovině, to jsem ho opravdu chtěla zabít a poprvé jsem si v téhle sérii přála, aby se na toho chlapa vykašlala a utekla. Dobře, částečně ho chápu, ale stejně se zachoval jako debil a s tím se prostě nesmířím. Jinak to je ovšem skvělá série.

Why have I only just found this series on the last book? These are interconnected standalones focusing on three brothers in a construction/building company. I have come in on the last brother but it will be fun to retreat and learn more about the other two and and novella.
This was a lovely, meaty second chance romance, involving a child. The story is narrated mainly in the present with an occasional flashback. The story engaged me in the middle of a book slump, so it really had that 'grab you' feeling. The characters had depth, as did their stories and backgrounds. Just after mid-way this book took a turn into heightened angst. I enjoyed this whilst disliking some jerk behaviour and bad decisions from the heroine, it all fed into a good up and down story.
Sydney is a single mother working for the Pierce brother's company, she's a strong, self-sufficient woman. Tristan was her first love but they worked hard at avoiding too much interaction. When these two began to reconnect, I could feel the chemistry bubbling. When that turned into more, it was so good. There was a thread of predictability with this kind of second chance story but nothing about that reduced my enjoyment.
This was my first read by Jennifer Probst and I have a great impression of her talent. I am definitely coming back for more.

Ugh I am sad that my journey with these characters is at its end. Having never read this author before, I stumbled across a review for this book through someone I follow. I read and LOVED the Inn BoonsBoro trilogy by Nora Roberts and since this sounded similar, I was excited to give it a shot and was not disappointed.
I have a strong love for romance series that center around a family or a close group of friends where each book in centered around a specific couple but you still get small snippets of the others as well. I loved the dynamic of this one especially because there were three brothers (all smokin' hot of course) that started off the series being forced back together after their father dies and had put a stipulation in his will that unless they work and live together for a year, their family building company will be sold off. Throughout the series we then get to see them all reconnect and reforge a strong brotherly bond.
"...Tristan cares about you, sweetheart, more that I think he knows. But you need to be patient. If it's meant to be, it will happen at the right time. But don't lose yourself in trying to make him happy. You need to find yourself, too, and that takes time."
This book in particular focuses on Tristan, the middle brother who has always seemed the coldest and the most mysterious. It was hinted to in the first two books that he and Sydney, a character who grew up with the brothers and still works with them, had a bit of a passionate flame going on before he left for New York. It was obvious to me that Becca, her daughter, belonged to Tristan from the very beginning and I was so nervous to see how that truth was going to be exposed. Literally I stayed up late until Sydney told him because I was so anxious about it lol.
"Did you always feel like I was a responsibility to you, Tristan?"
He stopped the horse. Turned around. She sucked in her breath.
His eyes glittered with a fierce golden light, raw with emotion. "You were never a responsibility to me. You were a fucking gift. Never forget that."
What I really liked about this book was the passion that Probst had built between Tristan and Sydney. Seriously I was SO excited when I was approved for this ARC because I was just dying to see how this couple would finally get their HEA. Some parts were hard to read--how mad Tristan got (understandably) and then the aftermath of that (his coldness..his plan for his new family....) but I thought that it all really came together at the end and I was in tears at the last page of the epilogue. I also loved all the parts with Becca and seeing her bond with Tristan was really a thing of beauty. Ugh esp the glitter scene. IT WILL MELT YOUR HEART DAMNIT!
His entire life had been a series of steps to bring him to this moment. To her. His stupid fear and need to control almost ripped his future from his grasp. Somehow, he needed to try to make things right. Make her see how badly he needed her. Trusted her. Loved her.
All in all a solid romance series that I will probably be rereading in the future! I loved all three though if I had to choose I'd say that Dalton and Raven's book was my favorite.
