Secrets of a Ruthless Tycoon by Cathy Williams is a well written romance with a setting of rural Ireland. It was very different in content from the usual presents story as the romance is set in a rural countryside and the hero is searching for his birth mother under the false identity of a writer.
Sounds intriguing but though the book got off to a good start, the slow pace of the story was off-putting. Leo was an alpha hero with the occasional cold behavior. He shied away from commitment and was an overall likable hero. Brianna’s only relationship in the past was a very bad experience and therefore she is not looking for anything permanent with Leo. It was a fling turned into something serious kind of romance. I liked that the romance is not just the focus of the story and there was also a focus on other things like Leo’s search for his birth mother.
Overall, Secrets of a Ruthless Tycoon by Cathy Williams is an likable and different romance. The slow pace can be frustrating but if you want a break from all the glamour and scandals or if you are a fan of the author then give this one a read.
