I’ve read all the Billionaire books by Emma St. Claire. I’m not a typical reader of clean romance. I read her Sandover books and loved the way she develops characters and settings. Even though we go into these stories knowing boy will get girl and girl will get boy, Ms St. Claire doesn’t take you the obvious road. Her books have unexpected turns of events, dashes of humor, and enough suspense to keep each book a page-turner. I still don’t read much clean romance. When a new Emma St. Claire book comes out, I set aside three hours or so to read it - as a sweet indulgence.This story was by far the most tender of all her Billionaire books because of the child in the story and the poignancy of grief and loss that weaves through the lives of the two main characters. I love that the Christians in this story are real, imperfect, and grace-filled. The leasing man, Beckett, has a past that haunts him and practices his faith nominally. So many important themes are touched on in ways that don’t bog down the story, but serve to make it more relatable and realistic than many books in this genre tend to be.If you are looking for a light, escapist read with well-developed characters and a plot that hooks you and carries you along, I highly recommend The Billionaire’s Secret Heir. Just don’t start reading after 9pm unless you want dark circles the next day!
