Jaxon: Stone Brothers Next Generation

Stone Brother Next Generation #1

by Tess Oliver

The Top 10 Amazon Bestselling Stone Brothers series is back with a brand new generation!

Jaxon Stone is Hunter & Amy's oldest son, and he carries with him the fiercely protective, deeply loving traits that you loved in Heart of Stone.

Sometimes, sleeping with the enemy . . . is worth the risk.

Bridget Walsh stole my breath the second I saw her, but I never expected her to turn my whole damn life upside down. It would figure that the first time I fell in love, it would be with Nathan Walsh’s daughter. Nathan Walsh, a rich, greedy, ruthless developer took over the neighboring town of Oceanview and now he has his sights set on my hometown, the Stone hometown of Trayton. And he’s made it brutally clear that he doesn’t want me anywhere near his daughter.

I’m a Stone, and threats only make me want something more.

Jaxon Stone is the man I’ve been looking for, tough, funny, incredibly hot and fiercely protective. Every aspect of my life has been controlled by my horrid father, and he’s made it crystal clear that Jaxon Stone will never be a part of it. When I tell him I don’t care what he does to me, Jax is worth it, Dad turns on the evil switch. Now, I have no choice except to let Jaxon go.

Next Generation

I love that the Stone brothers continues with their kids and love that this story was up first as it was my fave of the Stone brothers with finally falling in love with neighbor. This reminds me of 80’s movies with the rich girl falling for the rough mechanic that’s a hottie- memories LOL! Still loved!

I honestly didn’t think anything could top the Three Stone Brothers series—but I was completely wrong. The next generation of the Stones is just as intense, just as captivating, and just as irresistible.

When Jaxon meets the beautiful Bridget out on the water, the chemistry between them is immediate and undeniable. Sparks fly from the very beginning—but what he doesn’t realize is who she really is. Bridget is the daughter of the very enemy threatening everything his family stands for, the developer trying to take over their land and change their way of life.

The tension between them is electric—powerful, passionate, and absolutely addictive. Their connection feels raw and real, and the emotional stakes only make it stronger. The twists and turns throughout the story kept me completely hooked, constantly wanting to know what would happen next.

This is one of those books that pulls you in so deeply you don’t want to put it down. A perfect mix of romance, conflict, and drama—I couldn’t get enough.

Five stars is not enough! I devoured this book and loved every minute of it! I don't want to spoil for anyone so, I will just say I was cheering with the locals when the Cole Brothers First and Next Generation came out on a particular scene, and it was so fitting and so in character. The novel holds what all we loved on the first three books. I just love how Jaxon uses "Darlin" when he talks to Bridget. This is one you will not want to miss! Especially if you are a Tess Oliver fan!!!!! Tess Oliver's writing pen must be magical to spin such wonderful stories for us to read! Hoping for more from the Stone Family!!!

wow

Wow, just wow! Jaxon and Bridget are made for each other. Bridget is being blackmailed and held hostage by her greedy father. He has sold her to a man to enhance a business deal. Jaxon comes from a strong family who are loving, loyal, and caring. His parents and uncles had a horrible upbringing, and had to fight for everything. They passed that instinct onto their own children Even though they were brought up in a loving environment. Jaxon realizes Bridget is the love of his life and has to fight for her. Bridget has learned to fight for herself. The twists and turns at the end were absolutely amazing. I guess karma really is a bitch. Can’t wait for Griffin’s story.

Jaxon: Stone Brothers Next Generation is the first book in the series. It is the grown children of the Stone Brothers. This book is the story of Jaxon and Bridget. Jaxon is the oldest son of Hunter & Amy from Heart of Stone. This was a opposites attract, small town, bad boy story. It was interesting to watch them fall in love, and fun to reunite with the rest of the Stone families. It was a wonderful read and I could not put it down. The ups and downs kept me reading. I can't wait to visit with the rest of the next generation.

I was sooo excited for this series because of how much I loved the original Stone brothers but was really disappointed with this story.

It was rushed, had so much potential which always really annoys me. The characters didn’t really develop and even though it was insta-love, I did not feel it in any way.

I felt as though it was written by a different author, again, so disappointing considering how much I love Tess’ writing - usually.

:(

Money and greed

Great story. Money trumps everything, or so the wealthy think. A woman scorned...that's bad news! Step on her feelings and you will never know what hit you. The Stone Family is strong. I've enjoyed the series greatly so far. Hoping that the great story continues.

I absolutely loved the story of Jaxon and Bridget! I like the opposite attracts storyline. It’s a steamy story of the the good guys winning. It’s was fun reading the next generation of Stones. Well done Tess Oliver!

Almost DNF but stuck it out. It did get better but the beginning didn’t sit well with me… I’m sorry but I can’t relate with a fmc that puts out within minutes of meeting the mmc…
