Review
4 Works of Art
Love, passion, intrigue, deception, murder, secrets and much more. Brilliant Secrets is just that, brilliant. An unsolved art heist that happened years ago brings Rylan and Aleksandre together.
This book is exciting and very fast paced, maybe a little too fast, because I kept having to go back to see if I missed reading something. I later came to realize that this was the style of writing. Key events were left out of some characters thoughts to keep us in the dark, secrets. This is the reason I rated the book 4 out of 5 stars. The plot was fascinating. The characters were interesting and I want Sawyer as my best friend. I can see a spin off book involving Sawyer and bad ass Killian. Those two added much needed comic relief to an intense story full of drama.
If you like romantic mysteries I highly recommend this book.
