About this ebook

HGTV’s Property Brothers meets The Marriage Bargain in this second volume in the Billionaire Builders series, an all-new heart-wrenching and sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When she was a teen, Raven Bella Stratton’s father was killed in a horrible car crash. The bigger shock was the discovery of a woman with him—Diana Pierce—and their two fully packed suitcases with airline tickets to Paris. Devastated by her father’s betrayal, Raven went to live with her aunt, never truly overcoming the traumatic event. When she discovers that the mysterious woman had a family with a husband and three boys, Raven vows to leave the memory of her father behind.

Until Dalton Pierce visits one night and suddenly her past challenges her future...

Leaving his life in California behind to run Pierce Construction with his two older brothers, Dalton Pierce has enjoyed returning home and studying his passion of woodworking. But when he visits the local bar with his brothers one evening, he’s immediately drawn to the smart-mouthed, badass, sexy bartender who sets his body on fire. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem as intrigued by him, and his multiple advances are met with rejection. When he offers to restore the bar back to its original glory, he begins to work with her on a daily basis, and falls harder. His plan of seduction slowly weaves a web around them both, until they are caught up in the spell. But Dalton doesn’t know the secret that can either destroy them both...or finally mend two broken hearts.

It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Probst. Her writing never fails to make me feel... everything. ANY TIME, ANY PLACE was wonderful. Ms. Probst works her magic and makes an impossible couple, not only possible, but perfect for one another. But it's a tough journey and I'll admit I struggled with about the first third of the journey. Then again, I have no idea why I ever doubted. There are emotional highs and lows, but the ending is glorious. I loved both Dalton and Raven. So happy they found their way and their healing together. 4.5 stars ~Complimentary copy downloaded from NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I absolutely loved Any Time, Any Place by Jennifer Probst, it is an incredible love story, and is the second book in her Billionaire Builders series. I so enjoyed the book that I am looking forward to reading the last book in the series. I have read other books by Jennifer Probst and always enjoy her wonderfully written stories and has once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. I could not put it down. I loved every page. I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Any Time, Any Place is wonderful love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud and the bittersweet moments that cause me to sigh, say aww to myself with tears filling my eyes. Any Time, Any Place is filled with such moments, and with so much emotion. It is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a Jennifer Probst love story, especially the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. My favorite part of the story is how the title of the book is incorporated into the love story with a simple thought by Dalton Pierce. Any Time, Any Place is the story of Dalton Pierce, co-owner of Pierce Brothers Construction with his two brothers and Raven Bella Hawthorne, owner of My Place, the local bar/restaurant. Dalton and Raven meet while Raven is tending bar at My Place, on the anniversary of Diana Pierce’s death, while the Pierce brothers we drinking together. Unbeknownst to the Pierce brothers, Raven is the daughter of Matthew Hawthorne, the driver of the car that Diane was riding in when they were both killed in the car accident. Dalton is immediately taken by Raven, and suggests improvements to My Place, since Dalton is the expert in woodworking. Raven is not interested until she hears from an assistant editor of Good Food and Fine Spirits magazine who is interested in doing a feature on My Place for the article. She doesn’t want to use Pierce Brothers Construction for the renovation, but the quick time frame doesn’t leave her with a choice. Raven has always had a revenge plot against the Pierce family, because of what they did to disparage her father’s memory following his death, as evidenced by her tattoo. By working with Dalton, she figures she can get answers to questions that have always troubled her. Raven tells Dalton that she is looking for a husband, in hopes of dissuading him from pursuing her. As they spend more time together, they share secrets that they haven’t shared with anyone before, and realize they may have something more. I love the nickname that Raven gives to Dalton, and the ladies poker nights. I love that both Dalton and Raven were both so vulnerable and that each of them changed because of their love for one another. I loved that Any Time, Any Place is a more than just a romance, there are dilemmas that both Raven and Dalton are facing that need to be resolved. I love that there were multiple storylines: Raven’s search for answers about Diane Pierce and her father’s relationship, Raven’s identity, the renovation of My Place, but most importantly Raven and Dalton’s story. I love how all the storylines get so beautifully resolved. A plot twist changes everything for Raven and Dalton, but a heart-to-heart with Tristan and Caleb helps Dalton follow his heart. I love that the Pierce brothers discover their mother’s plans on that fateful day. I love all the descriptions of the Harrington that Jennifer Probst details. My favorite part of the book is the epilogue, I truly love how it goes above and beyond the happily ever after. Any Time, Any Place is filled with the poignant and bittersweet moments in the story as well as the plot twists, that I have come to love and expect in Jennifer Probst's stories. I love the cast of characters in Any Time, Any Place, enjoyed catching up with Cal and Morgan, and I am looking forward to reading the last book in the series.
