The Forgotten One

The Heirs, Book 2

De: Catherine Bybee

Narrado por: Meg Sylvan

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee spins a dazzling tale of long-lost relatives, overnight riches, and unexpected romance in the dramatic second book of The Heirs series.

Sarah McNeilly is a rare find in the tabloid industry. She won’t ignite gossip. She finds the truth. And for once, that’s what her boss wants. With her job on the line, Sarah’s latest assignment is to identify the elusive “Maximillian Smith,” unearth his connection to the billionaire Stone family, and dig up some dirt.

Yesterday Max was an ordinary workingman, concerned with little more than the price of gas. Now he suddenly has a family, jaw-dropping wealth, and an avid (if clumsy) reporter on his trail. With the press threatening to destroy his new life, he needs to release his real story strategically, and Sarah is the key—not to mention an adorable yet invaluable resource for finding his mother.

As Max and Sarah team up to peel back the ugly layers of Max’s past, they stumble heart-first into their fiery attraction. But when their research threatens their newly built trust, it’s their future that is on the line.

Wonderful storytelling and narration!

The Stone saga continues as Chase and Alex’s newly discovered, half brother’s identity is revealed and Max enters a foreign world of unimaginable wealth and corporate intrigue. Max’s fateful interaction with a curiously principled tabloid reporter allows him to offer Sarah exclusive access where he and his half siblings can control the narrative. I liked the organic evolution of Max’s relationship with Sarah as he tests her honesty while her smarmy boss continuously demands sensational headlines while he threatens her job if she doesn’t produce. I really enjoyed the stages of Max’s evolving relationship with Chase and Alex as they search to reveal their father’s secrets and fight to keep control of their company. Max’s adjustment to his new life leads him on a journey to reveal his early years and to reconcile his abandonment issues as unseen enemies threaten the newfound family. Wonderful storytelling, fascinating and fallible characters, and Meg Sylvan’s entertaining narration performance had me engrossed from start to finish as I anxiously awaited the conclusion to the story.

Loved it!

I couldn't wait for it to be released and once it was I couldn't stop listening to it.

Beautiful story . I loved the focus on how easy it is for a child to get lost in our foster care system.

I did not find anything I would like to change in this story. I wish the story would have been longer.

GREAT!!!

I'm now hooked on "Catherine Bybee" and can't wait to read (hear) Book #3 in this series "No More Yesterdays"!!! This book flowed beautifully and the performance (voices) were excellent!

Heartwarming

Brought me to tears a couple of times. Thank you for bringing attention to these children who are in need of a family. ❤️

Great characters

I enjoyed the whole story. The main characters were realistic and didn't whine and do stupid things that made me want to stop listening. I can't wait till the next book is released!

GREAT continuance of the Stone story

I was not able to put aside this story, there were times when I wanted to cry and times when I laughed. Max is a man with a heart of gold. His new found family are all a loving brother and sister, you couldn't ask for a more loving family. wonderful book and a fantastic author , I'll read every book written by Catherine Bybee. thank you

more than five stars

I listen to the first book and it was really really good phenomenal but this story rag to riches is just incredible obviously you learn about this character in the first book but the story itself was just amazing I cannot tell you how good it was and how much I want to recommend this like I would blast this all over the place it is so good I listen to the first book again before the second book out just to make sure I was clear on everything not that you needed to this is Max's story but you still learned about Max in the first book so it was nice and like I said it's a rag to riches this is someone who had nothing and all of a sudden had all kinds of things and this story is about him dealing with those consequences and how he felt about learning about his past for the first time I can't imagine the emotions that he went through and I will say that this story does bring up some emotions especially in the end but it was such a fabulous story and I really highly highly recommend it
