Uncover His Instant Heir (Baby Business #1) Expressed By Katherine Garbera Released As Audio Books
liked both Dec and Cari, She and her sisters have been running their company and doing a pretty good job of it, but they were no match for the Montrose need for revenge.
With their acquisition of the company Cari was going to have to deal with Dec on a daily basis as the businesses are merged.
Cari knew she was going to have to tell Dec about DJ but she wasn't sure how he was going to take it.
She felt guilty about not telling him sooner, but he had walked out the morning after without a word and had never contacted her again.
She didn't expect him to care since he had made it clear that he was not interested in any kind of commitment, She was really surprised when he was happy about the baby and that he wanted to be involved as a father, He also insisted that they begin to date so that it wouldn't come as much as a surprise when they announced that he was DJ's father.
Over the next six weeks Cari discovered that there was a lot to like about Dec and that she was coming to care for him.
She also saw how much he loved DJ and how he wanted to be a better father than his own had been, She also thought that she was making a good case for keeping her company intact as she worked with her people to make the transition smooth.
She was floored by his actions at the end of the six weeks and convinced that they had no chance of a future together.
I really liked her strength and how she worked so hard to try to protect the people who worked for her, She was also a fantastic mom and wanted to do what was right for her son,
Declan was a man who was torn between loyalty to his family and his desire for Cari and their son, He was adopted and had never felt like he was truly part of the Montrose family, His parents had ended up not really giving him the love he deserved and had made him a pawn in their own relationship.
As a result he kept away from any kind of commitment, That worked for everyone except Cari, He had never been able to forget their night together and was looking forward to trying to seduce her again, The news that he was a father caused him to feel a connection that he'd never experienced before that there was someone else out there that was an actual relative to him.
He made it clear to Cari that he would be an involved father and they would have to find a way to make it work.
Though they weren't yet ready to tell their families about his identity as DJ's father, they were going to start dating and making it clear that they had a relationship.
Dec's biggest problem was the fact that he could see what a big part of her business Cari was and that he didn't want her to lose her job, and that he knew that the intent was that she and her sisters would not be kept on.
He wanted to do what was right for his company, thereby cementing his place in the family, but he also wanted to do what was right for Cari.
In the end he made neither side happy and had to figure out how to fix it, I liked Declan's immediate acceptance
of his fatherhood and the way that he wanted to be a good father, He worked really hard at it and found that his commitment to DJ also opened up his heart to let Cari in as well.
When I first started to read this book I did not think it was my type of story,but I continued to read it as I became interested in the characters.
I had to finish the book to find out what happened to them,
I received this book for free from Goodreads, I won a copy of His Instant Heir from first reads here on Goodreads, I enjoyed His Instant Heir, I liked Cari and Dec but at some points I thought the story was a little rushed, There are some things that they both did that had me shaking my head and thinking WOW did that really just happen I think that the sisters are a little too clueless and at times let a bit to much slide.
I get why Cari hid things from Dec and I think that Dec handled finding out pretty well, I liked that he wanted to be a part of their lives,
Overall it was a good read and I will read the other books in the series, So this reading "just to pass the time" thing doesn't always work out, This had the makings to be something a bit more interesting, with the family feud and the secret baby but it felt short.
Dec, the male lead, goes back and forth between who he is, who he wants to be, and who his family expects him to be.
I didn't feel the change he supposedly went through, I didn't feel his change of heart or when he fell in love with Cari, Mainly I didn't see any growth in him, He does change, I think, but it feels forced and not real, Cari is too sweet to me, Too kind and too loving, There's only so much tenderness I can take before I feel like I'm choking with all the sugar, Anyways, this one is one those books I wish I wouldn't have started 'cause in the end it entertained me too little and bored me too much.
Cute story but Dec made me so mad! It was good to read a story like this and not have it be predictable but he was such a jerk! I wish there was a little but more background and more chemistry in the story.
The book was a quick read, but it was a bit boring as well, . . I give this novelstars, This is thest book I read by Katherine Garbera, I liked the scenes with Cari DJ, The rest of the story I couldn't get into, This is an intriguing story of love, hate, business, rivalry, and a baby boy,
Cari Chandler can't forget Declan Montrose, Her baby is a constant reminder of the night they shared, Unfortunately he was gone by the time Cari awakened the next morning and she has been somewhat distraught since their eighteenmonthsago ONS, She waited a long time for him to call and it was months before she realized she was pregnant, She felt too much time had passed to contact him and it was apparant he was not interested in her or he would have made an effort to get in contact.
Her disappointment, heartbreak and his thoughtlessness hurt her deeply, It did damage that I'm not sure she will ever completely get over,
The troubling thing about this is that he never really apologized for not contacting her or missing her pregnancy, the birth, and the first nine months of his child's life.
In fact, he said it was probably a good thing she didn't call him because he never planned to marry or have a child and he didn't think he would be a fit parent.
That even hurt me!! Why not just take a knife and gut her!
Declan Montrose is Cari's family's sworn enemy and a nocommitment billionaire who, with his cousins, is trying to take over Cari's family's company.
Something happened years ago with their grandfathers, They were in this business together and the Montrose family was tossed out, That is about the extent of the facts of why this rivalry began, The grandfather made his three grandsons promise to someday get the business back, seek revenge, and squash the Chandler family, They are now involved in a hostile takeover, FYI: the three Montrose cousins already have their own game company but they aren't satisfied until they put the three sisters out of business and take over theirs' as well.
. . greedy much The game biz is all the three sisters have so all three will be out of their lucrative positions, They may make a lot of money but they work very long and hard hours but they get no credit,
The thing is this battle has nothing to do with the present generation but the three guys are hellbent on taking over the company that their grandfather once had a stake in.
To complicate this matter, Declan discovers he has a son with his family's most despised enemy, This would be his son's heritage one day but is that enough to ease up on the damage they plan to do to the Chandler sisters He has been so pressured throughout his life that he feels he can't let his cousins down.
In fact he decides to let Cari, the woman he loves, and his son down and stand with his cousings, So will he let down the only woman he has every loved and his son, . . or his cousins Does there have to be a choice or is there a way they can work together, He can't have it both ways,
In Dec pleasing his cousins he will finally feel like their blood relative, Dec was adopted and has never felt good enough to be a Montrose, His biological parents didn't want him and he was ignored by his adoptive parents, They just wanted a child they could bring out for family pictures and he was raised by nannies, He desperately wants to feel like he finally belongs but at what expense
Can this little guy, his son, soften Dec's heart.
