ALC in exchange for an honest review for Net Galley and Brilliance Publishing.

Catherine Bybee is the queen of low angst, happy, cozy romances that end with a satisfying HEA.

I have loved listening to this entire series. Hawk and Alex ‘s story was definitely my favorite. I have adored her character since the beginning and it was a joy to listen to her finally have the love affair she deserved.

I love how this family evolved and grew throughout the series. The ending was surprising and is wrapped up with a bow. I will miss this family.

Meg Sylvan narrating was exceptional as always. ❤️

No More Yesterdays is the third book in The Heirs series, but it was actually my first Catherine Bybee read. I’m usually hesitant about single-narrator audiobooks, but Meg Sylvan pulled it off so well that I got into the story really fast.

I enjoyed the bodyguard/client trope here. Hawk was such a badass — protective, intense, but never overbearing. And Alex? A smart, independent woman, even if a little naive sometimes. Their chemistry was strong, and I loved watching their connection grow.

There’s suspense and mystery layered in the plot, which kept things moving. I hadn’t read the first two books, but Alex’s family dynamics were still easy to follow and made me want to check out the earlier ones.

All in all, it was a fast-paced, solid romance with a satisfying HEA — the kind of story you can just relax into.

Thank you to NetGalley, Brilliance Publishing, and the author for the ALC — this is my honest opinion.

Catherine Bybee delivers a compelling and emotionally charged story in No More Yesterdays, blending family drama with high-stakes suspense in a way that’s both gripping and satisfying. At the center of the novel is Alex, a strong and sympathetic heroine whose life is thrown into chaos as secrets emerge and the threat against her and her family intensifies.

Bybee’s storytelling shines through her ability to steadily unravel the mystery while keeping the reader fully engaged. The plot is rich with twists and well-timed revelations, offering just the right amount of detail without ever slowing the pace. The characters are well-developed, and the emotional stakes feel real, making it easy to invest in their journey. No More Yesterdays is a standout read that leaves you wanting more from this world and the people in it—an excellent addition to Bybee’s already impressive body of work.

I just love this series, the characters, the writing and the surprises that pop up. This book 3 did not disappoint.
I love how each book centers on one sibling but in the end you are getting to see what’s going on with everyone.
While you don’t need to read the books in order, it’s definitely nice to have some of the back story even though it’s easily added in, in each book.

I had both the audiobook and book to read but mostly listened to it. As always the narrator, Meg Sylvan,is perfect for this series.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audio and ebook arcs.

I love this series. The characters, the storyline, the writing…just all of it. The narration was terrific and added to the experience. The three siblings are all trying to keep the business going, trying to figure out who is friend or foe, who is trying to kill Alex, the focal point of this book. She is dealing with running the company she never wanted from a father who was only called that by definition, trying to deal with the misogyny of being a powerful business woman, that it is highly unlikely she will find a her own happily ever after with a man and family and that the life she lived before is gone forever. What she wasn’t expecting were death threats and a target on her back. In walks Hawk, who saved her once and is now her full time bodyguard. I loved their story, the resolutions and the entire family. I surely hope this isn’t the end of the series. I listened from start to finish and was a little bummed because it was over.

The third and final installment in the Stone Family series. I’ve read the previous two books and highly recommend reading them before you pick this one up but this book can work as a standalone based on how well the author fills in the backstory. I was looking forward to Alexandria’s story from the start as I enjoy a strong leading lady. I received an advance audiobook copy and the same narrator for all three books continues to narrate this book. Meg Sylvan does a great job of changing her voice for male and female. At times, young ladies do sound very young and even a little simple but throughout the book all the other characters have very distinct voices that I appreciated.

This story wraps up the series with suspense and a crime to solve. Alex is paired with a hot bodyguard to protect her. Naturally we know where this is headed and I don’t mind that this one was fairly easy to figure out. Sometimes I just go for the ride to enjoy a suspenseful romance.

3.75 stars. Rounded up

I just want to start this review by saying if I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

No More Yesterdays is everything I hoped the third book in this series would be—and more. Catherine Bybee has a true gift for writing emotionally rich, character-driven romance, and the Stone family has completely stolen my heart. I’ve been hooked since book one, and with each new installment, I find myself more and more attached to this family and their beautifully messy, deeply human lives.

This story had just the right balance of heartfelt moments, romantic tension, and emotional depth. I was swept away from the very first chapter and found myself looking for extra excuses to listen just a little longer. The narration brought the characters to life perfectly, subtle, smooth, and so easy to fall into.

What I love most is that every book in this series stands strong on its own, yet blends seamlessly into the larger story of the Stone family. There isn’t one I loved more than the others—they’re all special in their own way. This third book is no exception; it’s powerful, moving, and left me with a full heart and a huge smile.

I'm incredibly grateful to NetGalley, Catherine Bybee, and the publisher for having received the ARC of this audiobook, and I already know I’ll be recommending this entire series to every romance lover I know.

I adored this bodyguard romance and coming back to this family. The way they've bonded together and support each other is fantastic. The chemistry between Hawk and Alex is fiery hot from the moment they meet and I always enjoy a great he falls first love story. Catherine writes relatable characters in unique settings and excels at familial relationships. This is part of a series and can be read as a standalone, but they're all so good that I would recommend starting with All Our Tomorrows and moving on from there. I listened to the audiobook and the narration is fabulous!

I do like Catherine Bybee's books. This one was not one of my favorites. It is the third in a series. It can be read alone, but it is so much better with all the background knowledge from the other two books.

There was some mystery/suspense to start the story off. Then it went to the romance, then back to the suspense. I wish there had been more of the mystery, I felt like it got lost for a while.

I will be interested in what Catherine Bybee writes next.

This is the latest installment in The Heirs series.
Working as CEO in her late father's company, Alex Stone is working herself to the bone. After threats come in surrounding Alex and the business, they decide to hire a security company to update the building's hardware. Hawk is assigned to stay with Alex as there was a threat made towards her. And she is interested....

Many thanks to Net Galley and Brilliance Publishing for an audio ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

If you’re a fan of Twisted Games, love your romance with a side of suspense, and can’t resist a brooding billionaire, then this book is definitely one to add to your TBR. It’s the third in a series, but I did not read the first two but let me tell you, it reads perfectly as a standalone.

What really stood out to me was the strong sense of family woven into the story. So often in romance suspense, the focus stays on the main couple, but here, the familial support added depth and heart to the plot. It gave the characters more dimension and made their choices more meaningful.

Alex, the female lead, absolutely stole the show for me. She’s everything I love in a heroine — strong, independent, and resilient. She doesn’t back down from a challenge and holds her ground no matter what’s thrown her way. Her chemistry with Hawk is electric, and I genuinely enjoyed watching their romance unfold as they navigated secrets, danger, and emotional walls.

While the story was filled with twists and turns, it did lose a star because I figured out the big mystery halfway through. From that point on, I was just waiting for the characters to catch up, which took away a bit of the suspense for me. That said, the emotional and romantic journey of Alex and Hawk — especially their path to vulnerability and openness — kept me fully invested.

The narration was a 3/5 stars for me.

All in all, this book delivered on the heat, the heart, and the high stakes. Definitely worth the read, especially if you love your romance with a punch of danger and a fierce female lead.

Thank you NetGalley & Brilliance Publishing for the ARC.
