4.0

The conclusion of the Billion Heirs series is a second chance romance with so many secrets.

Chance Bridger experienced a significant amount of suffering at his father’s hands, but he didn’t know the worst of it until his high school girlfriend comes back to town as the FBI agent investigating a murder where he is one of the prime suspects.

Avery was the love of his life who disappeared without a word one day after they made love in the spring on the edge of the Bridger Ranch. She comes to town with an attitude ties up with the cruel letter she got signed by Chance.

I enjoyed this book, but I was a little disappointed because it felt like it was rushed. A few more chapters could have been written to really bring closure to the many secrets uncovered and to make some introductions long overdue. There were several things that were brought up and then quickly glossed over.

My favorite part of this series has been the three brothers bonding and having each other’s backs. The murky business dealings of their father were somewhat brushed over after being a significant factor in the storyline in the previous books. It was a little anticlimactic in how that was resolved especially after Chance discovers his father’s secret files.

I received a free ARC from the authors and their PR company; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.
