The Billionaire Brotherhood #3
This series just gets better and better.
Dev who came to Majestic to hide and get the time to heal after his brother's fatal car accident. An accident Dev feels responsible for and an accident that has put a wedge in his family. He just wants to enjoy the calm nature and his horses.
But 2 years ago Dev helped a friend out when she wanted a baby but not a man. And when she sadly passed away Tully, a friend and co-worker of hers, brings Dev's daughter Lellie to him in Majestic. When they meet sparks fly, because not only have they met before but they shared a sizzling hot encounter together that made both long for more.
It felt quite natural that Dev struggled with his daughter and that he doesn't know what to do. The struggle of should he keep her or not brings an extra layer to his backstory and the fact that he misses his family but he can’t trust himself to love again.
Tully is the calm in the storm, he may seem a bit stoic but he just wants what is best for Lellie. He also struggles with his job as an lawyer and the fact that his boss wants him to discredit Dev as a father just so that they can keep Lellies grandparents as clients. Because in their world money rules and is the one thing that makes the world go around. What no one knows is the money Lellie has in her trust fund is nothing compared to the money Dev has in his bank account.
This book is about finding family and trusting yourself and others with your heart. It’s hilarious, spicy and a bit sad. I just adore that Tully is thrown right into this small town with matchmakers all over and that neither he or Dev have much say in what is going to happen. I love that they build trust and affection not just for each other but for that wonderful girl Lellie.
In a way I want more of this book but I also can’t wait for the next one and see what happens with Zane and Ryan.

It was an enjoyable story but slightly predictable
After recently burning through a few books by this author, including Marrying Mr. Majestic, I was interested in reading Dev's story. With his tragic background, Dev was certainly someone who deserved to find happiness in his life again. So, despite the summary of his story not being what I would call "up my alley," I was willing to give it a shot nonetheless.
However, more than a few chapters in, I just don’t find myself interested in continuing with the story. Dev and Tully shared, by their own accounts, a scorching one-night stand about two years ago, but apart from their inner musings about each other’s attractiveness, I wasn’t feeling any of the supposed chemistry between them.
(I’ve read some reviews that mentioned they might have found the romance more believable if they had read the bonus scene of “that night” as a prologue, so I went ahead and did that. I can’t say it did the trick. The encounter, described as something that both men found so memorable, really wasn’t anything to write home about.)
The story itself was fine, and maybe if I cared more about either Dev or Tully or Lellie’s characters, I wouldn’t mind finishing it. But I just didn’t find anything worth continuing with, especially not when it’s clear that continuing with the story would also mean dealing with some pretty cartoonishly villainous characters in a true author’s fashion. That is not something I’m ready to sign up for willingly without proper incentive.
Themes: dual POV, billionaire cowboy/lawyer, one night stand, single parent, small children, small town, animals
