Review: Tycoon by Katy Evans (Goodreads Author)

Tycoon by Katy Evans
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2,5 stars

I decided to read Tycoon by Katy Evans, because (a) I really liked the only book I've read before by this author, Mr President, (see my review here.... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... ) (b) I love Greek heroes!!!! and (c) yes, I liked the cover!!!

This was like an okay read for me. There were just too many things that didn't work for me.

The plot has been done so many times before.....friends to lovers, second chance at love, cold and unfeeling billionaire hero who melts when he falls in love....and so on....I don't have a problem with this kind of plot, but somehow there was something that didn't get me engaged with the story.

The hero -Aaric Christos (hell, his name totally "disturbed" me.....I know millions of Greeks but have never met an Aaric...okay, maybe his parents just loved that name...however, what the hell is the man called...Aaric or Christos...........the heroine and the other characters call him Aaric and in the next paragraph....it's Christos!!!). Not letting that little name peeve get to me, I actually liked the guy. He wasn't this uber alpha a@#$%%^e.....he had a heart. I also liked honesty and the way he dealt with the people in his life.

The heroine - Bryn aka Bit Kelly.....former rich girl who lost her parents and her money now needs the help of her former school friend...who had been poor and beneath her social standards then and is now rich and has the money she needs to start up her company. There were some parts I liked with Bryn...like when she walks the dogs to make money...hell, things are bad in NYC....for a girl without money. The part when she promises to take the homeless woman for dinner if she gets the finance for her company...........But on the whole???? I'm not sure I liked her........the interaction with her best friend and roommate was so juvenile and immature...in fact both of them were beyond immature!!!
I wasn't too bothered by her chasing Aaric aka Christos, even though he had a girlfriend........hell, girlfriends...all is fair in love and war!!!!

The plot -The first 50% of the story was a bit slow...dragged on and on.....

The characters -Couldn't really connect with any of them....okay, maybe Aaric aka Christos (you see what I mean about his name!!!!)There was something about him that pulled me in!!!

So, in conclusion..........cute, sweet.........just missed the 3 star rating....because of the totally "weird" ending....or cliff-hanger...whatever you call it!!! Really!!!

I suppose I will have to wait for the follow-up to check out what happens with THE CLIFFHANGER!!!!
