Summary
He’s a billionaire hiding a devastating diagnosis. She’ll do whatever it takes to help her sick, matchmaking mom. A freak accident throws them together, but will his big secret tear them apart?
When Ryan Lawson’s business partners force him to go on a wilderness retreat to come to terms with a shocking diagnosis, the last thing on Ryan’s mind is romance. But when he’s stranded in the woods with a sweet young event planner, all thoughts of business take a back seat to her girl-next-door appeal.
Fresh off a bad breakup, Zara Georgopoulos comes to Vermont to help her terminally ill mom work through her bucket list—not fall in love with a man who’s the exact opposite of her usual type. But when Ryan starts working his way into her heart with his kindness and generosity, she needs to make a decision: Trust the biotech billionaire not to walk all over her, or go back to guarding her heart.
Stuck in the wilds of Vermont, they forge a tenuous connection. When Ryan finally shares the truth about his illness, will it bring them closer together . . . or shatter Zara’s trust in him for good?
Inspired by 2 Corinthians 12:9, The Billionaire’s Secret is a sweet inspirational romance with a swoony hero, LOTS of entertaining banter, and a strong Christian message. Download your copy today!
My Review
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET is a story about a guy who feels like he may never have the life he dreamed of after being diagnosed with an autoimmune illness and a girl who feels like she's never been the one chosen. It's full of sweet moments between the friendship that blooms, a shared bond over illness and an adorable romance. Definitely recommended to Christian romance and clean romance fans!
I loved both of these characters from the start! Ryan is a successful businessman and very good at what he does with the intelligence to go along with that. He's got a couple of best friends and a great job. His illness hits him hard and he doesn't know exactly how to deal with it and the future of a wife and family he feels he's lost. I really loved the mix of charm, humor and genuine kindness Ryan has. He's pretty much the perfect guy, but also in that he's not perfect. He's vulnerable and unsure exactly what to do. Zara is very giving and talented in her own right. She has been left behind or put in second or third place by others too often, which has really hit her confidence and feeling of self-worth. I wanted her to be a bit more confident and go for what she deserves, but I also understood her feelings and why she acts as she does. These two hit it off in a very genuine way. Plus they literally get stuck together, which was crazy but also a fun way to play off of sparks (you'll have to read it to know what I mean). There are some things they have to work through to get to their happily-ever-after, so even though the ending was expected the journey wasn't.
In the end, was it what I wished for? I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. These characters faced some tough things, which I thought the author touched on well without making the story too heavy, but also adding some depth to it. The characters were likable, the story was easy to read with some good faith-filled moments, and the romance was perfectly sweet. I'm looking forward to book two!
