Billionaire romances are not my first choice when it comes to romance books, but I've been enjoying the Billionair Brotherhood series. Mostly because of the strong friendships.
Inheriting Miss Fortune is Dev's and Tully's story, and it has the single dad trope, which always makes me happy.
It does start with a tragedy, though, as Dev gains custody of his daughter, Lellie, after her mom passes away.
When Tully brings Lellie to Majestic to execute the will that put her in Dev's custody, the events of two years ago stir inside both of them.
The story mostly circles around the custody battle and Dev learning to and coming to terms with being a dad. It was bittersweet to see him open up and come out of his shell with his daughter. On the one hand, it's beautiful and heartwarming stepping up without hesitance to take care of her, even if he only plans to do it temporarily at the beginning. But it's also kind of heartwrenching when he struggles with his past and his guilt that makes him feel that he's not good enough for her.
Tully is hesitant about leaving Lellie with Dev at first as he doesn't know much about the elusive man. He's only point of reference is their hook-up a few years ago, and he obviously can't form opinions based on that. He also comes a long way in the book, setting his priorities straight and learning what he is and what he isn't willing to do for his job as an attorney.
The romance in this one is kinda cosy and revolves around Dev and Tully finding their foot together while caring for the 15-month-old baby. On a ranch. In Wyoming. They slowly gravitate towards each other, rekindling the Flame that once burned between them and learning to trust one another. It's actually really sweet seeing the coparent.
The spice was spicing, but with almost all Lennox books, it was just a tad more than I enjoy (in terms of quantity).
The setting in Majestic is the perfect scene for the story. It brings the small-town atmosphere, the ranch vibes, and all the loving people. Dev is forced to relaize that not only are his friends there for him in every situation, but townspeople of Majestic are also on board with him raising the baby.
All in all, the story was sweet with a lot of excitement around the custody battle and a sweet sweet romance. Lellie was a sweet little thing who we could love and Dec and Tully are a sappy pair of men who's romance is definitely satisfying.
