Twenty four hours does not allow very much time to fool around. In my crazy world quick decisions have to be made and carried out. I received an ARC of Everywhere and Every Way by Jennifer Probst in exchange for an honest review. The fact that my time was not wasted on a long drawn out story was a plus. Ms. Probst with her clever characters, fast paced story and humorous dialogue made me a very happy camper. All of these qualities are what I have come to expect from this gifted writer. The back story of Caleb's family issues and Madison's control issues added to the appeal of this sexy, sassy and seductive read. The Billionaire Builders series is off to a good start.

Loved this book! Morgan Raines is a cool interior designer that is very serious and very good in her work. Caleb Pierce is a builder with a chip on his shoulder due to a lot of unresolved family issues. As they begin to work together the chemistry between them is strong. However, Morgan is determined not to get involved as she will not risk her business for a short time affair. Obviously, they come to terms with the relationship as the house progresses. Caleb's two brothers Tristan & Dalton join them on this project which causes a lot of drama for Caleb.

This is an enjoyable read that kept me interested. ( )

I thought this was a book about three brothers and a construction company! But boy was I wrong! That is honest just the tip of the iceberg!

Caleb Pierce is tired of working for these stuck up, in your face clients who couldn't make up your mind! But he was not the boss, his father is, but then he died and now his is forced to work with them for a year, or he loses everything! But what he wasn't expecting is this 5'3 southern interior designer tornado to storm in and demand that he works on the house for a Hollywood starlet couple.

Morgan Raines wants Pierce Brothers and by god she will get them, because her clients deserve the best! But not everything seems to be going to plan. Between self-doubt, having feelings for Caleb, skunks, brother in-fighting and being arrested for being a prostitute! Everything is poised to fail, but this Southern Belle will not allow that to happen. But where will everything stand, when the house is finished?

Now despite the few teasers I gave you there, it is still only the tip of the iceberg with this book! I honestly don't think I have enjoyed the surprise twists and turns a book this much in a while and for me it was such a delightful surprise. The plot for this book (and probably the whole series) was simply inspired! Refreshing and more-ish (if that's even a word!). The writing was smooth and compelling and honestly made you feel like this was all happening to you.

Now when it comes to the character, they are honestly in a league of their own! You have Caleb; the surly "caveman" brother and Morgan; Southern Bell, spitfire, but hurt women. Tristan; the determined "I have something to prove" brother and then there is Dalton; the man-whore. But then Sydney….there is something going on with Tristan and I am dying to know what it is! Brady the architect that I have a feeling is going to be somewhat important and finally Raven! I have a feeling about her, that I will keep to myself, but I have a feeling that she is going to shake up all of the brothers and they ain't gonna know what hit them.

Needless to say you can tell by my ramblings that I am dying for the next book and really this whole series! Everywhere and Every Way was such a surprising and delightful read for me and I hope it will be one for you too!

I give Everywhere and Every Way 5 stars!

Morgan is a designer who gives as good as she gets. Cal is ooolala on a stick!! He is the “symbol of construction hotness.”

These two fight, fuss and all around bicker. But as with most romances, they have the hots for one another and just cannot keep their hands off!

This is a lightening fast read with a few surprises. Some keep you in stitches and some make you so frustrated you just want to beat the characters senseless.

I love the way Cal and Morgan relate to each other. She is prim and proper. He is rough and tough. They are perfect for each other. He steps up to the plate to help her when she gets arrested…yes, I said arrested…OOOPS!! Probably should not have said that!! SPOILER ALERT..too late.

This is a wonderful beach read! HECK!! It’s a wonderful read no matter where you read it!!

I received this novel as part of Simon and Schuster’s XOXperts ( )

Everywhere and Every Way by Jennifer Probst in a 2016 Gallery Books publication. I was provided a copy of this book as an XOXpert, the official street team of XOXO After Dark.

I really love Jennifer Probst and her fearlessness when approaching emotional and difficult topics. This book is no exception, but this time I just couldn’t get into the story like I have with Jennifer’s previous efforts.

Morgan’s rich and famous clients need a custom built home, so she hires the best contractors around… The Pierce Brothers.

Caleb, Tristan, and Dalton are being forced to work and live together for at least a year after their father dies and leaves a stern stipulation in his will that could cost Caleb everything he has worked so hard to achieve if they don't turn a profit.

Although, his brothers come through for him, they continue to harbor resentment toward one another and are constantly bickering. But, with their backs against a wall, they have no choice but accept the job Morgan Raines offers them.

Morgan and Caleb dislike each other at first sight, but soon find first impressions are not always the right ones. A strong chemistry develops between them that has them contemplating the mixture of business and pleasure, and we all know that’s not always a good idea. But, the fling soon develops into something deeper, something closely resembling a relationship, which will force Morgan to tell Caleb something painful, which could be the ultimate deal breaker.

First of all, I loved the banter between Morgan and Caleb, especially in the beginning when their flirtation first develops, but Morgan got all the best lines. Morgan is funny, sharp as a whip, is a nice southern lady, but can hang with the guys just as easily. I really liked her spunk and thought she was a lot of fun.

Caleb on the other hand was a control freak, but also very misunderstood by his brothers. I did feel bad for him on a few occasions, especially since one of his own brothers seemingly betrayed him in the worst way possible. But, other than that, he was a little bland. The brothers’ arguments were childish and I grew bored with their whiny self-absorption and pettiness.

Morgan’s issues are much heavier and very emotional, and really could throw a person a serious curveball. But, these heavier issues did not float around for long, and the story maintained its lighter tone in no time, which might have been a part of the problem. I think most of the conflict was between Caleb and his brothers, while Morgan’s more serious issues were a little glossed over and not given the weight they deserved, especially since it could have such a huge impact on the couple’s future together.

I suppose my inability to connect with Caleb dampened my enthusiasm for the romantic elements and his personal story, while tragic and puzzling, failed to stir my emotions. So far, Tristian and Dalton have not managed to excite me either, but I am mildly curious about how their stories will pan out.

For me, Morgan stole the show, and was the main reason this story kept me interested. This story does have its moments and is lightly entertaining, but there was nothing here that really stands out over any other contemporary romance out there. So, this novel is one of those middle of the road reads for me. Not great, but not bad either. ( )
