Miniseries: The Ballantyne Billionaires

[Lynn Brooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

An emotional roller coaster of a book! With the last book in her Ballantyne Billionaires series, Joss Wood manages once again to tug on our heartstrings. It's been a joy getting to know each sibling and hearing about their connections with each other and with Conner, so to get the chance to see his secret daughter now brought into the fold of the family he helped build is pretty special. The main characters have an instantaneous chemistry and watching them fall in love even thought they are fighting it tooth and nail is fun to see. Getting to watch the rest of the family move forward and start new chapters was as well was a joy. I loved this book and the entire series!

When Lachlyn Latimore is outed as the long-lost Ballantyne sibling, she's thrust into a media spotlight she wants nothing to do with. Her new-found family is anxious to right a wrong and pull her into their family unit but she's dragging her feet and resisting at every turn! Her life was totally different from theirs, and she learned to do for herself ... so to now have people want her to be a part of their lives is a big change to try to accept.

Security expert Reame Jepsen is always available when his best friend Linc needs him, so protecting his newly found sister should be a piece of cake ... right? As soon as he lays eyes on her, attraction roars through him. He might move heaven and earth to keep her safe, but he can't act on this rogue feeling that's taken over his body ... Linc would never forgive him!

One Night to Forever by Joss Wood is Reame and Lachlyn's story. You have previously met both in the rest of The Ballantyne Billionaires Books. This story is amazing. I loved Lachyln's story. As someone who lost their mother early in life and was raised by her brother I felt so connected to her it was unreal. Lachlyn is independent and hates relying on anyone else. She also is a loner and is scared of being included in big crowds. When you go your whole life wishing for something it is a little scary when it lands in your lap.

Reame is a security expert and guarding his best friends new found baby sister is what he will do and she must remain off limits to him at all cost. Reame doesn't do commitment. He wants wild and unattached yet Lachlyn has done something to his brain in just one glance at her. This is an absolutely lovely read. I hate to see such an amazing series come to an end.

He’s put family first for years. Now he wants to be wild. So, his best friend’s little sister is off-limits. Right? Lachlyn Latimore (public library archivist) is the long-lost Ballantyne daughter to Conner, his only child, but she wants no part of her famous family or the $40 million dollars they’re offering. Her childhood traumas of living with a severely depressed mom and being sexually assaulted have cause her to value her independence to the detriment of involving herself with people who will just disappoint her. Too bad the paparazzi missed the memo. Enter Reame Jepsen, the wealthy (security expert) who’s vowed to keep his best friend’s sister safe. Even if that means moving in, staying close and giving in to the forbidden…

This was my favorite of this sibling series. Ree & Lach were a great match and it has been fun watching the Ballantyne clan figure out how to get through their perspective baggage.👜 🧳 The journey has been intriguing and funny.

Loved finding out the lost heir's story. Her childhood upbringing effects her as an adult. She finds it hard to trust. But in the end true love wins.

The angst and the drama never allowed me to close this darn book. I was hooked the moment I met Lachlyn and Reame. One Night to Forever by Joss Wood is a good, solid read.
