Ever the responsible eldest brother, Caleb Pierce started working for his father’s luxury contracting business at a young age, dreaming of one day sitting in the boss’s chair. But his father’s will throws a wrench in his plans by stipulating that Caleb share control of the family business with his two estranged brothers.
Things only get more complicated when demanding high-end home designer Morgan hires Caleb to build her a customized dream house that matches her specifications to a T—or she’ll use her powerful connections to poison the Pierce brothers’ reputation. Not one to ignore a challenge, Caleb vows to get the job done—if only he can stop getting distracted by his new client’s perfect…amenities.
But there’s more to icy Morgan than meets the eye. And Caleb’s not the only one who knows how to use a stud-finder. In fact, Morgan is pretty sure she’s found hers—and he looks quite enticing in a hard hat. As sparks fly between Morgan and Caleb despite his best intentions not to mix business and pleasure, will she finally warm up and help him lay the foundation for everlasting love?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
HGTV meets steamy romance in the first book in the Billionaire Builders series. Caleb Pierce is a luxury contractor with a tough-guy attitude and a family business on the rocks, so the last thing he needs is celebrity designer Morgan Raines micromanaging his project. Witty banter, a volatile couple, and sizzling sexual tension make Everywhere and Every Way a delicious contemporary romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Probst (Searching for You) creates her own spin on HGTV's Property Brothers with her sensuous contemporary, the first of three romances about three feuding brothers who inherit their father's luxury contracting business. Caleb Pierce has long been estranged from younger brothers Tristan and Dalton. But when their father dies, he throws the brothers for a loop with the terms of his will: they must work together for a full year and show a profit in order to inherit. In walks Morgan Raines, a home designer working with an A-list celebrity couple and she'll stop at nothing to get the Pierce brothers to build that dream house. Sparks fly between Morgan and Caleb after he agrees to do the job, and resentment soon turns to grudging admiration, then deep lust. But it's not clear whether Morgan and Caleb can successfully mix business with pleasure. Probst tugs at the heartstrings with feisty Morgan, strong and silent Caleb, and an array of appealing supporting characters. Readers will root for Caleb and Morgan's quest for happily ever after and will eagerly await the next in the series.

Everywhere & Every Way
Everywhere and Every Way by Jennifer Probst
I haven't read a book by Probst previously so when an opportunity presented itself for me to read and review the first book in a new series, I jumped right at it and found it to be quite an enjoyable read.
It took me a while to warm up to Morgan as I found her far too manipulative for my liking but I will say that Probst certainly had me converted by the end of the book. Manipulative tendencies aside, she works at 'beautifying the world one house at a time' and is an independent and shrewd businesswoman who can hold her own in a male-dominated industry and for that, she had my respect from the word go.
Caleb on the other hand, I just loved. He's a hardworking, sexy, alpha male who is trying to hold on to the family business with everything he can, even if it means begging his brothers - with whom he has a very damaged relationship - to help. Sparks fly when he meets Morgan, and they continue to do so throughout the whole book, despite coming across a few hurdles along the way.
I'm really looking forward to both Tristan and Dayton's book down the track and I'm hoping that we'll also get to further explore the relationship between the brothers.

A new author to me
This was a new author to me and what an introduction it was. What captured me initially was the title of the book. It evoked provocative thoughts and once I read the premise, I knew I wanted to read it. I will certainly be reading more by this author in the future.
Who doesn’t like a hot as sin contractor? Caleb Pierce has worked for his father’s contracting company for years and fully expects to inherit. He shocked when he learns that he has to share control of the company with his estranged brothers Tristan and Dalton.
The interaction of Caleb and his brothers in trying to work out how the business would continue was an interesting addition to the storyline as was their trying to rebuild their relationships.
Morgan Raines hires Caleb to build a customized dream home, but that is not without complications. She is a designer who is not afraid to push Caleb to his limits, even stooping to using threats.
Complications arise when both Caleb and Morgan are drawn to each other, even though Caleb is determined not to mix business with pleasure. Morgan is feisty and no nonsense, and just as determined that her heart not get involved. If only they knew what fate had in store for the two of them.
There was certainly some sizzling moments between Caleb and Morgan as they fought their attraction, but in the end it was inevitable. I fell for Caleb; he is everything I look for in a book boyfriend. I didn’t connect as much with Morgan, but overall the book was so well written that I eventually came to like her.
It wasn’t all fun and laughter, there was sadness as well and at times I felt tears near. Everywhere and Every Way was extremely well written, the characters were believable (not perfect) as were the circumstances they all found themselves in at times.
