Publisher's summary

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ruth Cardello returns with an irresistible series about sexy billionaires and the strong-willed women who tame them.

Brett Westerly is his father's golden child, but it's come at a cost. As head of the family corporation, he throws himself into his work - hiding in his office is easier than confronting the reality of his broken family.

After a bitter divorce that split the family and divided loyalties, the wealthy Westerly matriarch offers an early inheritance to any grandchild who marries and invites the entire family to the wedding. Brett's brother Spencer rashly gets engaged, and Brett knows it's his duty to intervene. But he never imagined the unwelcome desire Spencer's fiery fiancée would spark in him. Now the man who's used to getting everything he could want has met the one woman he can't have.

Ever since she was a girl, Alisha Coventry considered Spencer and his sister Rachelle the family she didn't have. When Spencer asks for her help, Alisha has no problem becoming his fake fiancée - until she meets Spencer's sexy older brother Brett. The chemistry between them is undeniable - forbidden - but as their relationship deepens, Brett is determined to have her.

Alisha only wanted to help the family make amends. Now she's falling for the wrong Westerly.

very meh...

This was boring and formulaic. The narration was exceptionally bad. The reader did not make much of the story. I won't read another book read by her.

Good story

Good love story with a twist and a a bit of angst thrown in. Not too deep, but just enough substance

Good but not great

I like that she is assertive but hate that she wants to please everyone. She puts her own happiness on hold for her friends. She does not want to be like her mom but in a way she is because she puts others happiness above her.

In the heir

Great story plot and characters. I love the Andrade family and glad to see the connection. It was a complex love story with lots of opportunity to evolve. Disappointed in the audio. Teri Clark Linden is one of my favorites but she sounded almost robotic with this book, like she was just reading instead of acting.

On the Next Episode of Days of Our Lives

The story itself was decent although the familial drama and secrets played out like a total soap opera. Cheating, secret affairs, misunderstandings, DNA surprises!! It was kind of a lot. My main issues with this was the narration though. The narrator spoke in this breathy wispy voice the entire story. It's kind of hard to take the story seriously when the main character is read in a baby voice.

In the Heir

Enjoyable story! A variety of characters, all with their own contribution to
main plot. This book left me feeling good when I finished reading it. It was a love story with more than repetitive steamy sex.

Westerly Billionaire Series

The storyline was really good but the performance of the person who is reading this story was not good. The storyline pretty much saved this book.
