I was super excited to be introduced to this author last year because she just writes the most amazing stories. These are stories that just stay with you for a long time.
I’m excited to share a second book in her current series, The Heirs. Check out my review below.
The Forgotten One by Catherine Bybee
Series: The Heirs Book 2
Publisher: Montlake (November 12, 2024)
ISBN-13: 978-1662517259
SYNOPSIS:
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.
The Forgotten One by Catherine Bybee Review
I have to say it took me a few chapters to really get back into the story since it has been quite a while, not including how many books I’ve read in between these two stories. So I did lose track in terms of what was going on at the end of the last book. Thankfully, the author also included enough hints and tips to keep that flow between the books going.
What I enjoyed so much about this particular story was the great character, Max, and the way he interacted with other people—especially his love interest.
He was so sweet and charming. A little bit grumpy but a kind, hard-working person. It was really refreshing to see him develop and grow in this story.
With the addition of a “brand new family“, some of his interactions with other characters could’ve been negative. However, the author kept him lighthearted and a sweetheart. There were times that he was wary and untrusting, but that’s to be expected.
Another great part of the story is the interaction between his new family members and his love interest. It was heartwarming to see him grow and it just made for an awesome story.
I love this series so much. I could keep gushing all day. Bybee writes with style and magic weaving through her words. You become one with the story and you won’t forget it.
If you’ve never read this author before, one, what are you waiting for? And two, start with this series. It’s a little fun, a little weird, and wacky because who inherits millions without any knowledge? But also you get to see the characters grow.
The Forgotten One is definitely a five-star read for me and I truly cannot wait to read the next installment.
5 STARS!!
