The Billionaire's Secret Marriage by Tamie Dearen

emotional medium-paced

2.75

I wanted to like this book more. I really liked the female lead, Stephanie. I really felt like she was a good person who deserved to find happiness. But I found myself not liking Branson as much as I thought I would. His relationship with Stephanie developed nicely, but there were things that he would say that I'm guessing were supposed to be more romantic, but they just sounded sad to me. It was sad that he just never felt good enough, no matter what Stephanie would say. He is a very traumatized person, so his reaction made sense. But even in the epilogue, it made me more sad than swoon when he would say things about how undeserving he is. Also his father was a ridiculously evil villain. Like
to impregnate your son's fiancee just to hurt your son because he's more successful than you is just diabolical and unhinged like why????
Anyways, it wasn't a bad book, I think I just had higher hopes for itÂ
