Secret
“I’ve always had to keep quiet”This is a first time read from this author for me. I participated in an author takeover on a FB group and decided to give this Ms. Alexander a try. I am sure glad I did. The story evolves around the budding relationship of Dylan and Tristan. Dylan is currently in a marriage of ‘convenience’ and is waiting to finally live his life. Tristan is the ultimate California playboy without a care or relationship to worry about it. Both lives take a change of course as they meet over business transaction.
I found that I could relate to the character of Dylan. Most of stories of this genre is where the one character meets the dashing billionaire and swept off their feet. In this case, Dylan is swept off his feet by Tristan and wholly overwhelmed. Dylan feels not capable of relating to Tristan at his status both of wealth and sexual orientation. I know if I had a billionaire romance me, I’d feel overwhelmed too! The big stressor for the story is that Dylan is still in the closet. Although I am an upfront, what-you-see-is-what-you-get person, I have friends who have struggled with their true feelings. With this I felt all of Dylan and Tristan’s frustration with moving forward.
I would definitely recommend this book if you are a huge contemporary romance fan. This story had it all, the struggle to the HEA. I look forward to reading more from this author.
