All or Nothing At All is book 3 in Jennifer Probst’s Billionaire Builders series; a series I absolutely love.
Tristan Pierce is very much set in his ways and while fiercely loyal to his brothers Cal and Dalton being the middle brother made him the peacekeeper and a little bit of a loner. After their mother passed away the brothers feel apart and Tristan found it very difficult to come to terms not only with his mother’s death but an overbearing father he always seemed to disappoint. He couldn’t even find solace in the arms of Sydney Green – his childhood friend who was always there. He knew he needed to leave and did leaving behind Sydney and his brothers. Now with his father gone and a will that forces him back to his small hometown after years being away he is a changed man. A man who doesnt believe in love – even when Sydney now all grown up is always there more beautiful and confident than ever.
Sydney Green has been part of the Pierce family since she was 8 years old and she has been in love with Tristan her entire life. Then when she and Tristan started sleeping together when she was a teenager she knew that her love for him was real; unfortunately all Tristan wanted to do was run away and run away he did. Leaving her pregnant and heartbroken; now he has been back for a year and its all Sydney can do to protect her heart and her daughter. When she forces the Pierce brothers into giving her an opportunity to run her own building project her and Tristan are forced to work together and the truth about her daughter finally comes to light. She can only hope that Tristan can forgive her and accept her and their daughter.
I have been patiently waiting for Tristan and Sydney’s story since starting this series. I love a second chance romance and I knew this story would be great and I am so happy I wasnt disappointed. Ms. Probst writes her characters so well that we believe all their choices and nothing ever seems forced. Told in dual POV’s we get to witness the arc of both Sydney and Tristan along with the raw emotion and pain that both characters go through. The good news is that there is quite a bit of joy and humor as well. I will say this book out of the three is a bit darker and it works even when her characters make some questionable choices that could cause the reader to want to hurt the main characters. The payoff at the end is so good that makes it well worth it. We do get to see Cal and Dalton and their ladies as well and do get a wedding which I loved.
If you are a fan of Jennifer Probst’s Billionaire Builders series then you will be excited for this conclusion. This is a standalone so if you want to dive into Tristan and Sydney’s story it is well worth the time.
