This book hugely surprised me. It is an great debut novel from Tracey Livesay and, as it says on the tin, it has a tycoon and a socialite. But neither Marcus or Pamela are as stereotypical as their labels may suggest and this was the surprise.Pamela is the daughter of an ex-Senator, Marcus a self-made wealthy businessman. She grew up surrounded by wealth and wanting for nothing, he grew up with nothing but love from his mother. When Pamela discovers Marcus is the new owner of the building the woman’s shelter she runs is based from, she is prepared to do anything to prevent losing the building. And it just so happens that he needs a wife with connections to succeed in his plan for revenge over the man who ruined his mother…‘Old money’ versus ‘new money’ and it was this divide yet union that made The Tycoon’s Socialite Bride a captivating read. It was refreshing to read a book where both characters accepted their growing feelings, yet it wasn’t instant love and potential consequences still lurked in the background giving their relationship that air of uncertainty. Pamela and Marcus’ chemistry worked, their relationship was romantic, touching and passionate and their intimate moments were hot, making them a couple to love.Would recommend and look forward to more from this author.I received a copy of this as an ARC courtesy of Entangled Publishing for an honest and unbiased opinion.
