About this listen

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee spins a dazzling tale of long-lost relatives, overnight riches, and unexpected romance in the dramatic second book of The Heirs series.

Sarah McNeilly is a rare find in the tabloid industry. She won’t ignite gossip. She finds the truth. And for once, that’s what her boss wants. With her job on the line, Sarah’s latest assignment is to identify the elusive “Maximillian Smith,” unearth his connection to the billionaire Stone family, and dig up some dirt.

Yesterday Max was an ordinary workingman, concerned with little more than the price of gas. Now he suddenly has a family, jaw-dropping wealth, and an avid (if clumsy) reporter on his trail. With the press threatening to destroy his new life, he needs to release his real story strategically, and Sarah is the key—not to mention an adorable yet invaluable resource for finding his mother.

As Max and Sarah team up to peel back the ugly layers of Max’s past, they stumble heart-first into their fiery attraction. But when their research threatens their newly built trust, it’s their future that is on the line.

Touched my soul

There are some stories that are about love and romance. Then there is this. A story for the underdog getting a second life—better said—a second rebirth. Max’s story and plight touched me beyond words. Even as I write this, tears are falling from my eyes because it felt like more than just a book. I appreciate that the author wrote about a systemic crisis in our society and the trauma attached to it. But it was the ending that really broke me. No good deed goes unnoticed and I can’t help but feel that this book, was one big ol’ good deed.

Great story

Having read and loved the first book in the latest series from Catherine Bybee, I could not wait to dive in to The Forgotten One which

It was everything I was hoping for and more. I quickly became invested in Sarah McNeilly and Maximillian Smith’s story as it ticked all the boxes for me. Well written, you cannot help but be drawn into the story that Ms. Bybee wove.
 
I fell hard and fast for these characters and was totally invested as the story developed.
 
The Forgotten One was a good balance of romance, drama and suspense and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.  

I loved the book but felt that the audio was let down by the narrators’ male voices. She just did not do it for me and since this is such a male driven storyline I felt it would have been good to have used both a male and female narrator.

more than five stars

I listen to the first book and it was really really good phenomenal but this story rag to riches is just incredible obviously you learn about this character in the first book but the story itself was just amazing I cannot tell you how good it was and how much I want to recommend this like I would blast this all over the place it is so good I listen to the first book again before the second book out just to make sure I was clear on everything not that you needed to this is Max's story but you still learned about Max in the first book so it was nice and like I said it's a rag to riches this is someone who had nothing and all of a sudden had all kinds of things and this story is about him dealing with those consequences and how he felt about learning about his past for the first time I can't imagine the emotions that he went through and I will say that this story does bring up some emotions especially in the end but it was such a fabulous story and I really highly highly recommend it

Bybee’s books keep getting better!

I read this book as well as listened to the Audio. Bybee’s books keep getting better. A rags to riches story but only this time the good guy is the winner in family and love. Great narration.

Dang it! She made me cry AGAIN!

This one is wonderful, but rough. Touching childhood trauma, abandonment and trust issues, this story has a lot of heart, but also stomps on your heart repeatedly. I thought I'd made it through, then she hit me with the epilog...
Friggin TEARS!

All the feels

Great character development! Loved the way they just opened up to expand the family and the importance of family. Good expose of foster care system. The ending felt a bit abrupt. Brought me to tears and laughter.
