All of Nothing at All is the conclusion to Probst’s Billionaire Builders series, and Tristan Pierce’s story. He’s the buttoned-up, suit-wearing Pierce brother, who fled to work in New York City and escape his tyrannical father. He’s been gone for 7 years but returns home now after his father passed away, and he’s working in the family’s construction business with his two brothers. He’s not only returning to his hometown and his complicated family, he is also reuniting with the one woman he could not forget, Sydney Green.

Sydney adored Tristan most of her life, and they had a passionate affair right before Tristan left town. Both have reasons to resent the other for their break up, but neither have ever opened up to reveal exactly what happened during that time period. Sydney's now a divorced, single mother, and she still has feelings—both good and bad—for Tristan. Because the two both hold resentments, they are not on the best of terms; therefore, their reunion and working relationship starts off bumpy. Both have 7 years of emotions bottle up, but neither can deny there is something special between them. They just have to figure out a way to clear through their past to make way for a future.

All of Nothing at All has a lot of heart. Tristan and Sydney’s love story is bittersweet as they find their way back to each other. Readers will feel the pain of their 7 year separation and wait with bated breath for their happy-ever-after. Probst can always be relied upon to deliver topnotch romance, and she has done it again.

Review By Stephanie
4 Star 
I read the first two books in Jennifer Probst's Billionaire Builders series so I was excited for the third book in this series. ( you totally should read all three books in order but they can be read as stand alones) I love love love the HGTV vibe from this book. Why wouldn't I my life is reading, kid shows and HGTV!
All or Nothing At All was a fun read. It was really filled with everything to make this book a great beach read. But be warned you will totally need your sunglasses to hide the tears for some amazing emotional parts.  I have come to love Jennifer Probst writing and totally love this series! I can not wait for more!

Rating~ 3.5 stars.

Sydney Greene has loved Tristan since she was eight years old and for a brief moment in time she thought he might have felt the same but he left her to move on to bigger things in life. While Sydney was left behind with their baby.

Tristan Pierce has always considered Sydney hers, coming home and finding out that she had a child with someone else felt like a huge betrayal to him. 

Tristan and Sydney go through a lot in the book, with the help of flashbacks we see their earlier relationship and moments from their childhood and then in the present where Tristan and Sydney try to avoid each other as much as possible. When they finally start working on the project and old feelings return, everything is made complicated when Sydney reveals a secret. 

Honestly speaking I loved Sydney, the girl had no one, the people she considered her family Pierce split apart after their mother's death and Tristan left. She become stronger, tougher and independent woman, very different from the girl who needed someone to love and needed to be loved in return even when it seemed like all she had was little scarps. She was a great mother and a businesswoman. Tristan presence obviously was a huge hurdle because she never really got over him. 

I really liked Sydney and Tristan together in the first half of the book, I mean sure I still was a bit leery of Tristan's behaviour but I liked that he was making an effort to finally getting Sydney back. They also had great chemistry which made their interactions more interesting to read. This is a second chance romance book with loads of angst, family, babies, love and trust issues as well. 

Quibbles: [spoiler]In one word, Tristan. All through the book he's said to be the pacemaker, the giver and perfect at everything but none of this is actually shown?? I would LOVED more grovelling by him. Also a lot of the book is focused on Tristan's family issues but what about Sydney's?? We never end up finding out more about her family other than at a superficial level and not to mention how the people she actually considered her family treated her after the secret came out, it made me quite mad. Not even going to touch the fact how Sydney literally couldn't one win through the book. [/spoiler]

The book did make me feel a lot of emotions and teary eyed. Along with Jennifer Probst's complex characters, an adorable little girl you couldn't help but love and a strong heroine, it ended up being a good read overall. 

Review will be up on the blog on 27/07/2017

I had a major issue with the heroine not letting the hero know about their baby.

I couldn't finish this so in all fairness I'm not going to rate or review this ARC.

Sorry, trigger for me.

All or Nothing At All is the third book in author Jennifer Probst's Billionaire Builders series and is Tristan's, the brother I've been most curious about, story. He's been the broody, sexy, more posh brother we haven't gotten to dig beneath the surface of until now and I just knew his story was going to be a doozy...and boy was it ever!

I'm a sucker for a secret baby trope. Add that trop into the second chance romance trope and I'm a total goner. Oh, and when all of that is written by Jennifer Probst? It's a "call for pizza and feed yourself" kid of situation for the family until I finish reading. Yep, this latest installment in a series I have loved since the beginning was that good.

There's some serious history at play between Tristan and Sydney. So much of it. There's first love, heartbreak, family loss, business, and tons of emotion. Things went pretty sour when Syd and Tristan were younger and even though they couldn't deny their connection, it just wasn't the right time for either of them. Now, with years having gone by, fate has her way with these two and they are back in each other's lives and even though they don't realize it, their time has come. What follows is so much emotion and inner turmoil that my chest literally ached when I was reading. I loved these two together and I wanted them to be together desperately. Now, I certainly won't run anything for you but I will tell you that in true Jennifer Prosbt fashion, she gave these two a movie worthy ending that had me sobbing and swooning like a love sick fool!

I also have to give a shout out to the serious dirty taking skills that Tristian brought to the bedroom. Holy moly! *fans self*

If you haven't picked up this series yet, you really must! With well rounded characters and story lines that make you feel a part of the book, it's a series any reader is bound to love. Thank you, Ms. Probst for another stellar read!

I really liked and enjoyed this book. Really a great story, very emotional and full of romance. I have really loved this series and loved spending time with the Pierce brothers. Really cant wait to read more.

This was absolutely AMAZING! Hands down my FAVORITE in the series. The Billionaire Builders went out with a bang with Tristan and Sydney's story. I could not get though of these two and loved every second. My heart was pretty much exploding all over the place.

I loved Tristan and Sydney. Watching them reconnect, how their relationship developed and grew, was pretty fantastic. There is chemistry, animosity, tension, and major heat between the two. I loved learning about their histories and getting glimpses of their memories giving the story a lot of depth. I have to say, I have always liked Tristan but by chapter 7, the man completely melted me and I was totally in love with him.

There were times both Tristan and Sydney frustrated me and I wasn't always happy with their past or present decisions but it was this hard situation and I felt like a fly on the wall as these two figured it out and fell in love. I was brimming with excitement for Tristan to find out the truth, that wait and build was tense and heart wrenching. I loved the raw, vulnerability of the characters. Tristan was a complicated mess but I loved watching him grow and open up.

This was super entertaining to read. The Pierce brothers and their significant others play a big part. It felt like their were mini stories happening for them and it gave it a well rounded feel. I loved Tristan's relationship with his brothers, I am such a sucker for male bonding moments and the good natured ribbing but also that true understanding when it's needed. The women were pretty great too, loved getting to see Morgan and Raven again. I loved the lighter moments that were apart of this story as well. They were needed and perfectly timed.

The writing was awesome! I almost feel like it had two major builds in one story and both times I was on the edge of my seat waiting to get to those moments. Drama, turmoil, love, sweetness, apprehension, playfulness, sexiness, this had it all!!!

The ending was spectacular. Everything was building to this amazing moment. It broke me down and filled me up. It was the prefect ending to the series. It was an amazing story about reconnecting, second chances, family, healing, and true love. I am absolute thrilled with the conclusion and the roller coaster ride of emotions I experienced while reading, it was fantastic!

The time is finally here to bid farewell to these amazing Pierce Brothers… All Or Nothing At All is the final installment in the Billionaire Builder series and I have to say that my heart aches just a bit. Yes, it’s fiction, yes, it’s just a book you may say, but from the beginning of this series until now, I have been invested in each and every story. These characters have taken up room in my heart and I am sad to say goodbye.

All or Nothing At All also happens to be the most emotional and gut wrenching one of all. Tristan and Sydney’s story is full of heartache, resentment, secrets, yet it is also filled with hope. A hope for second chances and finding happiness with the one you are meant to be with. Of course before that HEA can even begin to take shape, we are put through the wringer.

Both Tristan and Sydney are deeply flawed… with what Sydney felt was abandonment by Tristan, she keeps a huge life changing secret from not only him, but the entire family. When said secret comes out years later, Tristan has every right to be angry and this is really where the story takes off. Both are in the wrong but I may in the minority when I say that I had to side with Tristan. Sydney was selfish in my eyes and it was hard for me to find it in my heart to forgive her. However, deep down, I knew they were meant to be together and I had to root for them to finally get the HEA they so deserved. So without giving much more away… be prepared for the roller coaster of emotions that you will go through while reading this book Jennifer Probst saved the best angst for last! All Or Nothing At All will definitely leave a mark!

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this review. I’m so bummed that this series has come to an end and there are no more Pierce brothers to write about. To say I loved All or Nothing at All is an understatement. Seriously. I’ve been waiting for Tristan and Sydney’s story since the beginning of The Billionaire Builders series and I was not disappointed.

God, the back history between Tristan and Sydney is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Both have deep scars from their breakup. Both guarding their hearts (and secrets) trying not to make the same mistakes again. But sometimes love really does win—even when you’re not ready to admit it.

I loved watching them fall in love again. There are traces of their younger selves, but they’re each so much better now with age and experience. I absolutely adored Tristan’s awakening when it came to Sydney in her badass manager mode. He wasn’t expecting her to be so strong—and she’s so strong in other areas too!

I loved the time they spent together getting reacquainted—in and out of the bedroom. *fans self* In the bedroom was hot AF. Just sayin’. I loved how they re-discovered each other. And made some big realizations about themselves too. And holy hell, I loved the brothers together too. Made my heart pitter patter as they got closer, sought each other’s guidance and support. And freely gave it! Now if only we had some video of the Grease scene. ~ Missy, 5 stars

Ahhhh what a beautifully angsty second chance story!

Tristan and Sydney had so much chemistry! She's loved Tristan since she was 8 and it took him a while to see her as something more than the cute little girl who hung out with his family. I was really surprised that she was willing to keep their relationship a secret, but I was glad she chose not to go with him all those years ago. Then, flash to know and they barely speak and she is still in love with him, but they try to keep their distance from one another and it just doesn't work.

I have to say, I thought Tristan was a real jerk. He wanted what he wanted and didn't take into account Sydney's feelings and what she was telling him. I was glad there towards the end when she stood up to him and said she deserved better. Of course, that was just the kick he needed to realize he had been a jerk and that he was with her for his happiness, not hers. I don't know that I'd have forgiven him quite as easily, but she has loved him forever LOL

I'm sad to say goodbye to this series. It was really great and I loved it all :)

*thanks to InkSlinger PR for sharing a copy of this with me*

This book is the third in a series of a family of brothers who take over their father’s construction business after he dies. Tristan is the middle brother who in this series always been hard to read. A second chance romance, this story had a lot of background that was interspersed throughout the story, throwing the plot back in time and then the present. At times, I found this to be a little disconcerting as it distracted me from the present story. I really enjoyed the plot line, and felt the story had a good romance, however, it did drag a little at times to me. I felt that both characters, Tristan and Sydney needed to come to terms with their love for each other a little better than they did, but it really didn't affect my enjoyment of this book. I loved this series and so happy that I have been able to read and review these books. Love the whole HGTV aspect, and actually wish that had been ingrained into the story more. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this for an honest review

Wow. I have enjoyed the other books in the series, but this one was by far my favorite.

Some books just work. The appeal of the second chance, the changes in the relationship between Tristan and Sydney as the book develops, and their realizations about the things that happened in the past, and the why behind them, was really compelling.

This book drew me in from the beginning, and I was not able to put it down. I also thought the plotting was interesting, as the way the book develops, and the way the characters develop, left me feeling differently at the end about Sydney's actions than I did at the beginning. I think this was why I was able to connect so completely. In order for them to have their happily ever after, Tristan has to forgive Sydney. I found that I was also able to see her behavior differently, and that helped me being able to be really behind the end of the story.

Jennifer Probst is a favorite of mine, usually for this reason. I am drawn into the characters and her writing just works for me. This book was no exception. I am sad to see the series go, but I could not have asked for a better conclusion.

I recommend this title.

4 1/2 STARS!

Quite the reunion story! A sexy hot connection between the main characters, and lots of stirred up drama along the way makes for an interesting plot! Loved that the brothers and their mates played an integral part in the story line.

Sydney Green lost her heart to Tristan Pierce when she was just eight years old. She idolized him growing up and even thought she was just a nuisance to him, she didn't let it ruin her adoration. Once she grew up and was working side by side with him in his family's company, he couldn't ignore her any longer and they set out on a secret love affair. Life happened, things around them fell intoturmoil and Tristan decided he had to set out on his own. Syd was left behind, heartbroken.

Years later, Tristan is back to face his past and carve his place back out in his family. Things with Syd are cold and distant at first, but down the road, they begin to warm towards each other again. Just when he's started to let his walls down and let her in again, secrets come out that could ruin them forever!

Over the years I’ve read my fair share of secret-baby-books. It’s such a profound dilemma. What were the circumstances of the pregnancy? Why couldn’t/wouldn’t/shouldn’t the mother share the news that she is with child with the baby’s father? In their circle of family and friends, who’s in on the secret? What finally causes the truth to come out? These are not light-hearted topics, especially years afterward. All or Nothing At All is the final Billionaire Builders book—and it's time for Tristan Pierce’s story.

Jennifer Probst has given us a great run with the Billionaire Builders series, starting with Everywhere and Every Way. As I noted at the time, what’s not to love about men who work with their hands *ahem* using smarts and passion? Cal was the hero of Everywhere and Every Way. After the death of their father, it’s Cal who persuades his two younger brothers to abide by the edict in their father’s will: the three men must run Pierce Brothers together for a year—and make a profit. Only then can they walk away, if they choose, from the family business. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

The prologue plunges right in to the youthful romance between Tristan and Sydney Green, the young girl who has adored him all her life. Seven years earlier, they were in the throes of a passionate affair.

“Give me everything.”

She couldn’t fight his words or his body. His hands gripped her hips. His amber eyes glinted with masculine demand as he pushed her higher, wringing agonizing pleasure with each step toward climax, and she gave up, gave in, and let him catch her as she shattered with release.

He followed her over, groaning her name, and she clung to him with a vulnerable need she tried to desperately hide in the light of day.

Sydney is vulnerable, yes, because she has learned she is pregnant and she senses Tristan is “slipping further away with each passing day.” But she holds out hope that “when he knew about the baby, things would change. They’d get better.” Because of family circumstances, Tristan is in a tough spot. After the shocking death of his wife, Tristan’s father unleashes his unreasonable, tyrannical demands on his three sons and Tristan, the middle son, has had enough.

“I have to tell you something, Syd.”

She gathered her courage. “I have to tell you something, too,” she said quietly.

It’s the worst news: he tells her he’s leaving.

“I’m done with this family. Done with this town. My asshole father just informed me he refuses to let me buy the real estate I wanted to flip. He wants me to be like Cal. To take his orders and build his cookie-cutter houses for the rest of my life. My own brother took his side, and we just had a blowout.”

Although Sydney hates “the weak whine to her voice,” she has to ask. What about their relationship? Pierce asks her to come with him but all she can think is that he’ll be trapped.

She’d go to New York and have his baby, and he’d be miserable. Or he’d decide to stay to be a father and be miserable. She’d be a mistake, along with his child.

No way. She tells Pierce that she doesn’t want to go to New York, that she likes her home and her job at Pierce Brothers. Nor is she willing to leave her grandmother, who raised her. Sydney’s mother was a junkie, her father was absent from her childhood—if not for her grandparents, her childhood would have been even more miserable. Even so, she always felt unwanted. Her baby will never feel that way—she says goodbye to Pierce and keeps the news she’s pregnant to herself.

Seven years later, Sydney is an integral part of the successful Pierce Brothers operation. She’s got plans and dreams of her own: specifically, to be promoted to CFO. They say “clothes maketh the man” and that’s also true for the woman who has run Pierce Brothers for years as executive assistant and "general office guru.” Sydney knows her demand will shock the brothers (particularly one) but she has no time for nerves.

She walked back into her office with her coffee, her Jimmy Choo high heels sinking into the plush carpet. She’d dressed to impress in her designer Donna Karan apple-green suit and even managed to pin up her crazed curls in a semblance of professionalism. Her blacked-framed glasses added a flair of style and seriousness.

She couldn’t be more prepared: she’s armed with a PowerPoint presentation, pastries from Andrea’s Bakery, and she has the numbers down cold. What is it about a “deep, cultured voice” saying “Morning” that causes her to spill coffee from her mug onto her jacket? It’s Pierce, always an early riser. He’s “familiar yet deadly, to both her past and her present.” Has anything changed?

She still hated the little leap of her heart when she was in his company, but it’d just become part of her routine. Kind of like eating and breathing.

A year after his return, you’d think the awkwardness and discomfort would ease. Sydney, however, is feeling “discomfort in the form of sexual torture.” Nevertheless, she has a plan to sell to her bosses—unbeknownst to the men, an outside developer has asked her to take the lead on renovating eight derelict houses. It’s a huge opportunity.

“Adam trusts me. He knows I’ll retain his vision and be the main contact throughout the project. The only way he’ll allow Pierce Brothers the job is if I’m in charge. And the only way I’ll agree to be in charge is if you promote me to CFO.”

Mic drop! Boom. Unsurprisingly, it’s Pierce that has objections—he still feels betrayed by her refusal to go to New York City with him. Or perhaps that’s not what’s bothering him.

If he concentrated on that truth, it was easier to ignore the persistent electricity crackling between them and the low thrum of arousal beating through each cold, deliberate word spoken.

Just lingering stuff from the past, he told himself.

If past is prologue, the relationship between Sydney and Pierce is far from over. They make an irresistible couple, drawn together like a couple of magnets, particularly when Pierce’s brothers tell him he’ll be the one working alongside Syd on the renovation project. Watch out for sparks and enjoy the ride!

Finally! Tristan Pierce's story is here and I couldn't been more excited! I'm a fan of this series and All or Nothing at All is a great second chance story that is filled with chemistry and lots of drama and secrets. Oh, all the drama...

Sydney Green has been in love with Tristan Pierce since a teen. But Tristan never saw her in that way, just a kid who follows him around. But when he started to notice Sydney, things between started to heat up, but it was kept quiet from his family. And when trouble hits the Pierce family, Tristan takes off and leave Sydney behind.

Seven years later, Sydney is all grown up, a mother and has moved on from Tristan (or she wants to think) and having to work together proves hard for them. Ignoring each other the past year since Tristan has returned is not working.

Eventually, these two slowly become friends again and a little more, but when secrets come to surface, it changes everything!

All of Nothing at All is a angsty and steamy read. I honestly wasn't the biggest fan of Sydney--to me her secret is unforgivable-ish, but get what she was thinking.

Sydney Greene is a single mother to a beautiful six year old little girl. She's worked at Pierce Brothers Construction in some capacity since she was sixteen. She practically grew up in the Pierce household, & they are like family. She'd proven herself at the office & she wanted more. Tired of being in the background she intended to fight for and get everything she deserved & had worked for all these years.

Sydney built her own life & now her focus was work & her daughter. She had no time for thinking of the past, but her ex made that difficult. Tristan Pierce, the middle Pierce brother had owned her heart since she was about eight years old. She'd always followed him around as kids and been treated like a little sister. Always hoping one day he'd finally see her. She saw how special he was. He was the kind, laid back, reserved one who was often closed off. She'd spent her entire youth trying to get him to notice her until one day he finally did. She'd adored him until he broke her heart & left her. He'd been struggling to find his place & clashing with his family. He wanted to renovate & flip houses, and he moved to New York & left Sydney behind in Harrington. He left the family business to follow his own path. Now he's been back home about a year, & Sydney is having trouble being around him & pretending to be unaffected.

Tristan has been back home about a year & has tried avoiding Sydney, but he still isn't over her. She's always been important to him, & he never forgot her. She's pure temptation for him. Their physical connection was always explosive, & he's having trouble pushing aside his attraction & feelings. He needs to stick to business since they will be working together, but he can't help the way he craves her. She's no longer the shy, uncertain girl, but a confident, self assured woman. Her ambition turns him on. She was in control & it was sexy as hell watching her take charge. They still shared such a strong connection & chemistry. They try fighting their feelings, but their is still so much between them. Tristan decides he wants Sydney back & he's determined to get a second chance. He will prove she can trust him again & that he isn't going anywhere. He knows they belong together & is prepared to fight for her.

I really loved this book & this whole series. All the Pierce brothers have the biggest hearts and are super swoony and hot!!! Tristan's book is packed full of emotion. Secrets. Lies, love, & angst combine for an incredible story!

ARC received for an honest review

All Or Nothing At All is the final book in the Billionaire Builders series, and Ms Probst has left the best till last.

I adore Sydney. She is smart and funny and feisty, and one heck of a single mum. I could completely understand why she did things how she did.

Tristan. Hmmm, Tristan. As much as I wanted to love you, I can tell you that for most of the story I disliked you. You are stubborn, and rude, and at times a complete and utter douche canoe!

This installment of the Billionaire Builders was a lot more emotional than the first 2.5 books. Heart wrenchingly so at times. I wanted to throw my Kindle across the room in frustration, I cussed out Tristan many a time, I laughed. Ran the whole gamut of emotions.

I loved getting more of Cal, Dalton, Brady and their lucky ladies, and felt that Ms Probst rounded out this series well.

Can't wait to see what she brings us next.

A swoon-worthy second chance novel with a great cover!

If you have been following this series, you know Tristan is the middle Pierce brother. He's a savvy business man who left after a big blow-out with his now deceased father after the death of his mother. In NYC, He made a name for himself flipping homes but after his father's death, Tristan came back to help his oldest brother Cal keep their company afloat and start mending his relationship with Cal and Dalton, his younger brother.

Sydney Green has known the Pierce family all her life. She fell for Tristan the first time she saw him. As a kid, she followed him like a lost puppy. With years, her feelings for him morphed into love. When Tristan finally paid her attention, she was in heaven. But, when Tristan left for NYC, he broke her heart and more. Presently, Sydney has made the Pierce's business company a success. She's also divorced and she's a single parent to a Becca, a beautiful young girl. For the last year working with Tristan has been crazy, there's still an attraction she can't deny but Sydney has a lot to lose. Getting in a relationship with Tristan and falling in love again is not something she wants to repeat. Or is it?

All or Nothing at All had well-developed characters who tugged at my romantic heart. Sydney was a bright successful woman who knew what she wanted. She was trying to protect her heart and her daughter. She was tired of being a doormat for Tristan and I applaud her for realizing it. Tristan had the default on going cold when he was scared but he was able to communicate his fears, including a heart warming discussion with his brothers. I almost got mad at him, but it was so short, I'm not sure it ever happened. There were so many scenes I liked but my favorite has to be of him and Becca preparing for her ballet event.

As always with a Jen Probst series, It was sad to say goodbye to her characters but I know she will deliver new ones to fall in love with.

Cliffhanger: No

4/5 Fangs

All or Nothing at All by Jennifer Probst is the last book about the hot brothers from the Pierce Brothers Construction. It is the third and final book in the Billionaire Builders Series. The book is a wonderful final story to wrap up the series.

Tristan was in love with Sydney but knew he had to leave home in order to find his way. Sydney was pregnant with his child, but chose not to hold him back by telling him. She worked hard for the same company and they had always kept their affair quiet, but now he is back and Sydney has to make some decisions. To top it all off Sydney is now leading a new project that she needs Tristan’s help with. They still have feelings for each other and want to find a new way, but Sydney’s daughter does not know about her father, nor does her father know about her.

A fun wrap up of a fun series! Love this author and loved the book! All or Nothing at All by Jennifer Probst was a great read.
