Conquérir l'héritier
Est-il amoureux d’un vieil hôtel… ou de son nouveau propriétaire ?
Le snowboardeur professionnel Cullen Patrick a du succès et est plutôt célèbre. Donc, lorsqu’il hérite d’un vieil hôtel dans le Colorado d’un parent inconnu, il devrait vraiment laisser tomber.
Matt Nathanson gère le *Treeline Estate* depuis sa sortie de l’université. Il adorait l’ancien propriétaire et héritera de l’endroit si personne ne le réclame d’ici la semaine prochaine. Bien sûr, Cullen se montre et Matt pense qu’il est temps de passer à autre chose. Il ne veut pas aimer cet homme, peu importe à quel point il est attachant ou à quel point il est affamé.
Cullen a de grandes idées pour le *Treeline*, mais il ne veut pas les lancer sans Matt et il n’est pas sûr d’être prêt à abandonner le snowboard. Matt peut-il le convaincre que s’enraciner en vaut la peine… et peut-être conquérir son héritier en même temps ?

* 2,5 stars.*
Well, umm...
Let me just say this. If you're looking for a story about hotel management, hotel food, hotel daily activity, less romance and a fade to black sex, MCs who's busy with hotel's daily life, eat, eat, snacking, eat, eat, snacking, eat, and some 'honey' and 'babe', like all the time. Oh, did I mentioned 'eat'? Yeah.
This one is for you. And not for me.
The cover though, it's gorgeous, and the blurb tempted me to read this one. That was that.
*Unpleasant sigh...*
* ARC was given by Dreamspinner press in exchange of a fair an unbiased review. No high rating required.*
PS. This book made me fat*

3.5 stars.
This was super sweet, especially concerning the relationship, which was never in danger throughout the book. None of this "big, huge misunderstanding", none of the "I'm questioning this relationship" - which was, honestly, exactly what I was looking for when reading this.
Matt Nathanson has been the manager of the Treeline Estates (a hotel in the mountains) since he got out of college. Over the years, he formed a very close relationship with the elderly owner, to whom he looked up and saw as a father figure. When the owner dies, his will has a provision that Matt will inherit the hotel if the owner's grandson doesn't show up within a certain time period.
Two days before the clause is met, Cullen Patrick, said grandson, is informed that the hotel is his, with the provision that its current manager, Matt, cannot ever be fired. Cullen is a world-famous snowboarder, and he's not quite ready to give that up to run a hotel.
And thus the two meet. Matt is upset at having lost his chance to become owner, Cullen is confounded as what to do with a hotel, and they're obviously at odds. At first.
Attraction is mutual, and pretty much instant, but the two men are very different, and have very different lives.
The book gives a lot of space to the running of the hotel, with its ups and downs, and also spends a lot of time talking about people eating. Cullen especially seems to have a liking for food, while Matt is usually much too busy to think about eating.
There's a great supporting cast in the other hotel employees, who are all very loyal to Matt and pretty much adore him.
Matt thinks about leaving and trying to start over elsewhere, but Cullen doesn't want that. He wants Matt to stay and help him turn some of the land into a snowboarder's paradise, plus bring the hotel into the 21st century, meaning make it more appealing to the younger folks.
I liked both MCs here. Matt was understandably disappointed to be nudged out by a reluctant heir, considering how much time he has invested into the hotel's success, and how close he was to inheriting it, and while he struggles for a bit to come to terms with it, he eventually deals. Cullen first came across as someone who didn't care much about anything other than his snowboarding, but then showed that he wasn't a bad guy at all, just a good guy trying to make the best of a bad situation. He seemed genuinely interested in the continued success of the hotel, but also tried to suggest improvements. Carefully. He didn't want to offend, but also didn't want to just sit back.
And considering that both of them felt immediate attraction, there was an added incentive for them to work things out.
A sweet and cute romance, with very little drama, little on-page sexy time, and almost angst-free, this was a perfect addition to this series, HEA included.

There are a few things you have to like to enjoy this book:
1) The author’s writing style. If you’re not familiar – take a peek – because it’s more stream of consciousness than other writers. Lots of one word sentences. Impressions rather than full blown ideas. Emotions rather than complex narratives. I really like it and think it works well in her shifter novels because those are based on an animal mind set that doesn’t “think” in the same way humans do.
2) Learning about how to run a hotel.
3) Learning snow boarding lingo.
4) No sex (fade to black)
I liked the opposites attract but found a lot of the dialog didn’t work for me. It was a bit too disjointed and “young” and I have no idea if it was accurate or not but it still felt a bit much on a 30 year old. For two people who were so passionate about one another having it be fade to black was disconcerting as well. I know Dreamspun desires doesn’t require that so I’m not sure I agree with the author’s choice to go that way.
I like the author’s work with shifter novels but this wasn’t my favorite. It was fun, but not great. Really sweet ending though.
2.75 (rounded to 3) of 5 stars

What I especially liked about this story was the interaction between Cullen and Matt. There was only a short time of conflict, but for much of the story they were 'together' and this made a change. Stories all too often take ages before the relationship proper starts and I'm left wishing there was more when the story ends.
John Solo's narration was excellent as always, although I wasn't sure if the main character was Colin or Cullen until I checked the blurb :)

This was a sweet and light read from the Dreamspinner Press House Line that I am head over heels for.
Cullen Patrick is a professional snowboarder who out of the blue, learns his is the owner of the Treeline Estates that was owned by his estranged grandfather, Ben Patrick. Not just estranged, Cullen had never met the man and only heard the non-favorable tales from his late father. When Cullen decides he wants to check out the Colorado historic hotel, we get to meet Matt.
Matthew Nathanson has been the manager of the Treeline since Ben Patrick met him right as he was graduating college and hired him on the spot. Matt and Ben became fast friends and it was Matt who was taking care of Ben in his last years before his passing. Also, as far as Matt knew there were no living relatives and he would become the owner and manager of the Treeline but Cullen shows up smack in the middle of Matt renovation the hotel.
At first meeting, the men don’t really take to one another. There is an edge of indifference from Cullen and a feeling of jealousy and dislike from Matt. They are opposites on the surface, but a few late night kitchen chats, carbs and desserts shared, it leads the men on a path of friendship and more.
This was a fun read as we watch Cullen and Matt become friends and see one another as more than competition. Matt gets that Cullen isn’t just someone who wants to push him out of the job that he loves and Cullen sees Matt as a link to the grandfather he never knew. When a night of treating themselves after errands to renovate the hotel, the men begin their romance and it was sweet but oh so sexy.
Matt was a lovely man to get to know. I adored it when he would go full on Texas not only with his speech but his actions. He wasn’t stodgy at all and had his own moments of pure UNF and swoon right along with his partner, Cullen. The men really were fun and the whole deal with Ben’s old apartment was a blast to watch it transform.
The bits with Cullen’s friends coming out and the ex that showed up were a bit dramatic but fitting for the story. I loved how Matt handled it all and how Cullen dealt with Tony. Watching the men deal with the issue of an ex and not going all “I know what’s best for you” or some level of miscommunication was lovely to read. Matt and Cullen dealt with every problem or issue as adults in a committed relationship.
I liked that the story was light on the angst and the only true angst I felt was when they would say those three words to one another. I loved that Cullen found his home with Matt and at the hotel and went forward to make this historic location friendlier for what he loves to do, shred. Cullen was adorable when it came to food and I loved his enthusiasm for all things involving Matt. The romance was a joy to watch blossom and see how the men not only work together but plan their life together.

It is a surprise to Cullen Patrick, of ‘Catching Heir' by Julia Talbot, when his estranged uncle, Ben Patrick, leaves Treeline Estates to him in his will. Cullen is at least curious about the hotel and land he's inherited and makes a trip up there to see it. He's not sure about meeting Matt Nathason, manager of the Treeline, best friend and caretaker of his Uncle Ben.
Cullen knows nothing about running a hotel and, if possible, wants to befriend Matt and gain his trust and the benefit of his expertise. Even without the stipulation in the will saying Matt can never be fired, Cullen has no intention of getting rid of someone who was so good to his uncle and who is doing such a wonderful job running things. Convincing Matt of that is a different matter. Cullen goes out of his way to include Matt in all decisions, telling him he considers Matt a business partner, not just the manager. One thing that gains Matt's respect is the fact that Cullen is not afraid to pitch in and help even with things like painting and demolition when the need arises. This impresses the staff as well, who are also anxious about what the new boss is going to be like and if they will be able to stay or not. Cullen is attracted to Matt but plays it cool, not wanting to force anything. He is conscientious about learning what he can and handling situations with the staff with humor, consideration, and humility. Cullen finds that they are compatible in a way that he has never been with anyone else, whether it be eating pizza and watching TV or burning up the sheets. The longer he's there the less he wants to leave and starts considering cutting down his snowboarding competition schedule in order to be home more.
Matt is beyond disappointed when he learns that the hotel is not going to be his, but is determined to be polite about it. Yet he has already decided he is going to leave and starts weighing his options. When Matt learns that Cullen is a professional athlete, he expects him to be a rich, spoiled snob who will most certainly be condescending and want to do things his way. Matt figures there's no way Cullen will want him to stay. It's more than just a job to Matt. Treeline has been his home for years and Ben was his best friend, even in the worst of times. He and the staff dutifully obeyed Ben's wishes, even if they weren't the best decisions for the hotel. Ben wanted nothing changed so nothing changed until after he died. Matt still feels an obligation to keep things, as much as possible, the way they were when the hotel opened even though renovation is sorely needed. Between trying to honor Ben's wishes and the ladies at the Historical Society, it isn't an easy task. After he meets Cullen, he begins to see that many of his fears are ungrounded. In fact, his new boss is more amiable and open-minded than Matt could ever have dreamed he'd be. In fact, after being around Cullen and seeing what a good person he is, Matt drops the idea of leaving altogether. He is attracted to Cullen as well and as they become friends, it gets even harder to ignore it. When they finally become a couple, they realize, as different as they seem, they are the same at heart and want the same things. Things are going unbelievably well, that is, until Cullen's ex-boyfriend shows up determined to make trouble for Cullen and Matt.
Cullen and Matt are well-developed characters who are easy to like. Although I knew it was inevitable that they get together, it still made me happy when it happened. It was interesting learning about the hotel business from the ground up. Dealing with a thousand things at once - from broken sprinklers to disgruntled customers - is a never-ending task for the manager. One thing I particularly liked was that these men are completely honest with each other instead of, like many relationships, withholding information, lying, or deceiving the other. It was refreshing.
If you enjoy a story with hotel management, snowboarding, hot men, and, of course, a happy ending, then you may like this one. Thanks, Julia, for bringing Matt and Cullen together.

3.75 Stars. A very nice no angst romance. I loved "stodgy" Matt and "dude" Cullen. I felt myself smiling quite a bit.
December 16, 2016
I love hotel stories, and this one is quite good. The conflicts were superficial and easily solved, there was no melodramatics or big dramas involving the main characters. This one hits the spot
December 30, 2016
Zero conflict, low key romance - a very comforting read.

Cullen Patrick is a professional snowboarder, and that's what he knows. So when he inherits a resort hotel in Colorado from a relative he never met, he's torn between excitement for something knew and not knowing where to start. And then there's the matter of Matt Nathanson, the hotel's manager--and heir apparent until Cullen was found at the last minute before that provision of the will expired. And having lost his hotel, Matt is ready to move on. Cullen knows he needs to find a way to keep Matt on, and Matt is determined to leave no matter what Cullen says. But for two men who have lived solitary lives, the prospect of suddenly connecting with someone is not only unexpected but might just be what they both need.
This is the first book I've read by Julia Talbot, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Turns out, she has a knack for writing engaging characters--not only main characters but also the supporting characters (some of whom in this book you are not meant to like). I enjoyed this, and would recommend it to others.

Ah ! Au moins ce livre me réconcilie avec les Dreamspun, étant donné la cata du dernier...
Si on passe outre la mièvrerie caractéristique de ces livres, il est top ! Vraiment bien ! Je dirai « bon » pour adresser une pique au traducteur 😱
Parce que :
- « des chaises longues propres » en hiver... ce doit être des bancs. Je suppose^^
- Le chap 10 n’a clairement pas été relu...
- j’ai, au bas mot, 191 « bon » et apparentés. Vous êtes un homme bon, vous êtes une bonne personne. Sérieusement ?! Outre l’aspect répétitif... enfin non... rien d’autre ne me vient en tête. Personne n’a d’idée ? La langue anglaise est plus « pauvre »(je ne critique pas), mais bon sang, des synonymes, quoi!!
Hormis une ou deux incohérences sur la chronologie et sur un détail culinaire, l’auteur a écrit un chouette bouquin, sur une région sympa, avec des infos intéressantes sur le snowboard 😊
Un bon Dreamspun !

Sweet
Cute story! I like is author quite a bit so I was looking forward to this one. I enjoyed it. Cullen inherits everything when his grandfather dies, including an old hotel in the mountains of CO. The only stipulation is that the current general manager has to be kept on, is set for life with a good package, and can’t be replaced. The general manager turns out to be Matt, someone the same age as Cullen, who took care of his grandfather for the last ten years. Neither man knows exactly what to do with the situation and the both really resent it at first, but as time goes by they learn to work together and discover that just maybe the old man knew what he was doing when he wrote his will. These two have a bit of a slow burn awkward getting to know you period and then all bets are off. They are so perfect for each other, it doesn’t take them too long to figure it all out.

This started rather nicely but then seemed just toddle about for a wee bit, I was unsure how it would develop, but it soon opened up into an enjoyable and entertaining tale.
Snow boarder Cullen, well known in the sporting world, finds that he's inherited a thriving hotel from the grandfather he never knew. Matt, the long time hotel manager and carer of the aged grandfather, had always secretly hoped he would inherit the hotel. So when these two finally meet there was a bit of tension but also a wee spark of interest. The interactions between these two makes this a darn good read.

Maybe could have been good
Wow, did a 13 year write this, I think it was going for cool but no it was like 2, 13yr were playing dress up in life. Just terrible, and I know writers put a lot of effort into writing but this was all kinds of bad.
You think something is going to become a drama then it is sorted with so much calm and understanding.
But the way these pretend grown men spoke no just no.

But the way these pretend grown men spoke no just no.

This book was a cute book. The writing is solid. I would have preferred more drama. However, great for a fire and a cup of hot cocoa.

So, I really enjoyed Catching Heir. A lot more than I thought I would, in fact. At first, I thought the concept was interesting but was unsure how the story would pan out. Oh wow, am I glad I read the book! It was super sweet, and one that I will definitely reread again in the near future.
Cullen is a semi famous professional snowboarder, who travels all around the world and competes in extreme sports games and showcases. He has a team of people managing, training, and even scheduling appearances for him, his life is so busy. Hopping from one hotel to another, to yet another, there is no room in his life for a relationship with anyone, much less extra responsibilities.
Then, Cullen Patrick hears that his estranged grandfather passed away, just shy of a year after it happened via a lawyer who tracked Cullen down because he was mentioned in the will. Turns out that Cullen’s grandfather owned a hotel and left it to him, with the proviso that the manager never be terminated and must always be consulted in regards to any changes made to the building and property. Sounds all fine and dandy, if not a bit stilted, right?
Matt Nathanson grew up in the hotel business and went to college all while living in Texas. He then was recruited right away after graduation to manage and run the Treeline Estates hotel in Colorado, where Matt became fast friends with the owner. In time, the owner’s health failed and continued to decline rapidly, and Matt took on the job of being the owner’s caretaker on top of remaining the hotel’s manager. It was a devastating blow when Matt lost his best friend, family of his heart, and boss all in one day, when the owner passed. But, one thing that helped soften the blow was finding out that the owner’s will stated that the hotel go to Matt if no grandson was found within one year of his passing, to take on ownership.
Just one week shy of the one year anniversary of the Treeline Estates hotel’s owner’s passing, Cullen Patrick seemed to turn up out of the blue to claim his inheritance. So, even tho Matt knew he could not be fired, he figured Cullen would not want him there anyway because he may get in the way of any plans the snowboarder had in mind in regards to the hotel our dear manager loved and cared for. And, trust me, Cullen has some very lofty plans in mind.
What are these lofty plans? Can Cullen talk Matt into staying? Can Cullen continue being a semi professional snowboarder and be a hands on hotelier? Will Matt even approve any of Cullen’s ideas in the first place? Honestly, do get the book and find out. I highly recommend it!
Catching Heir is a story of two people from seemingly opposite lifestyles (Cullen calls Matt stodgy at first, and Matt thinks Cullen is way too laid back), learning to work with each other, becoming friends, and then eventually finding out that they simply cannot live without one another. It’s very sweet, heartwarming, and left me feeling quite content upon finishing the book. There is no big dramatic scene, or any anxiety inducing situation, which in many books I feel needs to be there. However, Julia Talbot did such a lovely job weaving this story that it did not need any such situation. Honestly, do give it a chance. Who knows? You may just like it as much as I did.

Book & Author: Catching Heir by Julia Talbot
Rating: 3 stars
Julia Talbot is a new to me author and Dreamspun Desires are my go to trope reads that give me all kinds of heart. I love reading new to me authors through this series because he can tell me a lot about how an author's style. While the story was cute and the writing was good it just didn’t grab me.
I loved the characters and watching them fall for each other was good but not all that exciting, honestly. They played off each other very well. Bringing out in the other the way true opposite attracts can do but there was no great story here. I felt the blurb hinted at more of a struggle with Matt convincing Cullen to put down roots but that conversation between them never happened.
They created this awesome, fun, and cute friendship that lead to more one night out together. But the romance just grew from their, more of an organic process, with no great obstacle. Their thoughts on “What do I want?” were internal monologues versus something they discussed between them. Each figuring it out on their own without word from the other.
Other than the one smexy scene in the car that fateful night out all of the other sex scenes were fade to black. They would talk about going to the bedroom or start off making out on the couch then that was it. One scene confused me a bit since one guy started out on the bottom for the make out session but somehow was the one to get up first and help the other up. It could be something that was missed by all the people but really shouldn’t have been.
The details about Treeline (the hotel), the food, the land, and the staff were there and you can see each was important to Matt and how you see that world. I wish there was more of something with the story and maybe it’s just me not connecting with the story. Like I mentioned before the characters she created were great but the story just wasn’t for me but maybe it’ll hit home for you better.

**3.5 Stars**
Being that I live on a ski resort fairly near where this takes place, I was stoked to see how it would all play out – outside my back door. This was a quick and fun read overall, with a lot of fun characters and interesting professions. I landed with 3.5 stars because it felt very… cheesy at times.
But putting cheese aside, I really liked both characters and enjoyed seeing, what felt like, a new and interesting location for a love story to take place. There could have been very interesting power dynamics as well, but the story didn’t head down that route. Regardless, both Matt and Cullen were fun to get to know and they fit together very well.
Where things went a bit off track…
A pro-snowboarder doesn’t just suddenly go off the circuit for such a long time and I had a *really* hard time figuring out the timeline and the seasons throughout. They didn’t seem to flow as they do in real life, and it was throwing me off – big time. The other thing that kept needling me was the insta-ness of everything in the book. Insta-like, insta-over-angst, insta-fixes, and so on. While reading it, it didn’t appear as such, but looking back everything just magically came together.
But none of those things stopped me from reading until the end with a smile on my face. This is a great read for anyone who likes a hot snowboarder who’s wealthy but down to earth, and a Texas transplant who thrives in the hotel business. There wasn’t a lot of heat, but it wasn’t missing at all!

This book was so fulfilling and gave me the warm and fuzzy feelings. This book was the winter equivalent of a summer read, like you are reading hot chocolate. No big dramatic moments or miscommunications or other stressful things, so if you are looking for that then this isn’t going to do it for you. This book involved a lot of well written, happy fluff in a winter setting.
I think my favorite thing about this book was that it had a lot of good character development-- aka my favorite thing in a book. Talbot made it believable that a high-profile snowboarder and a nerdy hotel manager would work. She did a good job of making their relationship believable by showing us how it would work. Nothing is more annoying than characters suddenly falling in love and then nothing getting dealt with. Life happens, and when it does it makes people act differently, and it’s nice when authors can use that to bring characters closer together.
The two main characters were really likeable. I didn’t know if I was going to like either one of them, but Talbot fleshed them out and gave them personalities. I mean, it’s still the M/M equivalent of a Harlequin romance, so don’t expect this to be War and Peace levels of development, but it’s still really good. They both had insecurities about their relationship, but it only gave them more depth instead of adding drama.
There was a lot of day-to-day stuff written out in this book, so that may put you off if you’re not interested in that. It was written so well that I really didn’t care and the pacing helped even it out.
This book had them building a life together after a slow burn romance so if you are looking for a sweet, domestic type story for the holidays this is for you.

A Joyfully Jay review.
4 stars
This is a pretty low-conflict romance. It felt like this book was staged to be an enemies-to-lovers story, but neither guy had that strong of feelings. Cullen is mostly happy, with a bit of embarrassment over the situation. Matt’s frustrated and hurt, but he’s a total professional, and he does his best at all times to make Treeline a fantastic place. They actually talk out their initial difficulties and acknowledge their attraction. It’s kind of cute, because Matt’s pretty uptight and doesn’t have a lot of experience with sexual relations. It seems, though, that the more time passes, the more vulnerable each man seems to feel about the situation.
I had a little trouble with the timeline of this book, in truth. It seemed to take place over the course of a few months, but some of the plot points, including the grounds renovations, were unlikely to occur in such a short period. And, if this partnership had been forged over the, perhaps, eighteen months that could have reasonably accommodated all the plot points, then the likelihood that these guys had bona fide insecurities over the state of their relationship seems vanishingly low. There’s also a jealous ex plot twist that seems to come out of nowhere, to inject a bit of conflict at the very end. It felt too manufactured, for me.

Just Rad, Man!
Yes, that headline quotes a word from the very distant hipster past from a book which takes place basically today. But in the context of the story of skateboarder Cullen Patrick and resort manager Matt Nathanson, it's perfectly, if laughably, acceptable.
This is a book I would not call cute, or sweet, or scorching, or boring. Rather, it's a trip (sorry). It's a trip through the lives, attitudes and language of two really neat, if sometimes totally frustrating, characters who meet as enemies and wind up as lovers--without them realizing the latter for a while.
It has an awful lot of details of the snowboarding and hospitality environments, but I was never bored by that--simply because Julia Talbot knows when to cut it out. Her tendency to narrate in the third person in almost the same lagniappe as the MC's is really a major plus--helps the flow a great deal.
These two have some really read-my-mind conversations that are never snarky or forced. There is also one of the best dinner seduction scenes I've read in an M/M romance in quite some time, reminiscent of the same kind of scene in the movie "Tom Jones." And except for one out-of-control scene, the sexual encounters are more alluded to than described--though both characters have some really hot fantasies about the other.
This is a bit of a hoot, and I only wish the publisher had put Matt on the cover as well.

Matt had been running the Treeline since he was straight out of college. When The owner Ben Patrick took ill Mat took care of him like he was his grandfather. When Ben passed away, Matt stood to inherit the old hotel if no heirs showed in in so much time after his passing. Two days before the Hotel would be Matt's Ben's grandson showed up.
Cullen is a profession X Games champion. He snowboards for a living. He also has grand ideas for the Treeline, but he has to get Matt behind them. Matt is stuck on keeping it the way his grandfather ran it and the Historical Society dictates.
Catching Heir is a fun story to read. I love opposites attract story, and this fits the bill.perfectly. At times I thought Cullens slang was a bit juvenile and I didn't understand some of it but on the other hand, it made Cullen and gave him a very unique voice. I love the descriptions of the food and hotel.
All in all, this is a charming, fast-paced story.
If you like businessmen, hoteliers, Xtreme sports, winter sports, snowboarding, and a sweet romance with little on-page sex, I think you will love this.

What a great read. Julia Talbot is a new author to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Matt is just days away from claiming ownership of The Treeline, a hotel he has worked hard to maintain for years when Cullen, the deceased owners grandson is found and ownership reverts to him. Cullen is a professional snowboarder and never wanted to own a hotel.
Ben, the previous owner wrote a clause in the hotel trust that Matt could never be fired for any reason. His job was and always would be secure at The Treeline. Cullen and Matt will have to work together to ensure the success of The Treeline while Cullen still has his snowboarder's life to contend with. Along the way feelings are developed and both want to make their arrangement a little more permanent.
I loved his! It was a sweet, low angst read. I loved the progression of the relationship between Cullen and Matt. It felt real, with everyday obstacles and little to no drama.

That was a nice read! :) I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I wasn't sure within the first few chapters but once Cullen and Matt started spending time together, I got on board as well!
I love all the food talk, personally, lol. Especially since I also love hazelnut!!!!! It was sweet and easygoing!

Cullen Patrick has experienced some success and fame as a professional snow boarder. When he inherits a Colorado hotel from an unknown relative, he cannot resist looking into it. He finds Matt Nathanson who has been running the Treeline Estates since he graduated from college. He had one week to go to inherit the place if the heir does not show. In comes Cullen and Matt thinks it may be time to move on. Cullen wants him to stay and help bring Treeline Estate into the present. The two together could make a difference. But is Cullen ready to give up snowboarding? Or maybe Matt can convince him to put down some roots?
I was not so sure about Cullen in the beginning. It was at times a bit abrasive, but as you get to know him, you find you can love him. Matt had worked for Cullen’s grandfather a long time and wanted Treeline Estates for his very own. He was not sure what to think of Cullen. But as the two worked together and got to know one another, they realized there was more to each other than they thought possible. Catching Heir was a great romance perfect for those of us who enjoy MM and watching a relationship build in spite of obstacles. There were some amusing scenes that balanced the ones that were more serious. It was a great read and perfect for reading while traveling.
