REVIEW: A Tycoon to Be Reckoned With by Julia James

In A Tycoon to Be Reckoned With by Julia James, Bastiaan Karavalas loves the thrill of the hunt. His prey this time is tantalizing Sarah Fareham. Pity this seduction won’t be purely for pleasure—she’s a threat to his family that needs to be removed!

Sarah dreams of becoming an opera singer, but must scrape out a living as a nightclub performer, overcoming her inhibitions by hiding behind her vivacious stage persona, Sabine. It also becomes her only defense against Bastiaan’s sensual onslaught.

But Bastiaan is a tycoon to be reckoned with, and once his true intentions are revealed, will Sarah’s facade be enough to safeguard her fragile heart?

A Tycoon to Be Reckoned With by Julia James was a well written romance on the trope of mistaken identity.

Bastiaan is an arrogant alpha hero who will go any lengths to protect his family. He is dominating, confident and is confident enough to get what he wants. Sabine or Sarah is a sweet heroine who is going through some difficult times regarding her career. She is insecure at the moment and is unsure if she will ever be able to fulfill her role as an opera singer. She was genuine and I could relate with her on many things.

The romance was fast paced and enjoyable because of the character’s good chemistry. The only problem was that the story was a little monotonous and I felt like I have read everything before too. Overall, an enjoyable romance for the author’s fans.
