The choices you make in life

The Billionaire's Secret is a romance, mystery and adventure wrapped into one very enticing read. The story is about Kimberly Bennett and Desmond Renault, along with what who he discovers is his son, William. The book description is light but it is spot on. The story-line is enthralling, encompassing, and very deliciously entertaining. I loved the characters as they develop and are unveiled. Desmond and Kimberly are at odds in the beginning but he is determined he will be there for his newly found son. Things get more complicated though as Desmond continues his quest to find the person/persons responsible for his fathers death. Will he have to choose between vengeance and his new family or will he be able to have both before the end?

Desmon is in the middle of trying to find down who is responsible for the death of his father and to top it off he finds out that he has become a father. On the other hand, his son's guardian who happens to be the sister of his son doesn't think that he is a good fit to raise his son because of his involvements. She has preconceived notions about him. Will they come to a compromise and will it lead them to happiness. This thrilling story kept me drawn into all the drama.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
