Tycoon

By: Katy Evans

Narrated by: Elizabeth Louise, Sebastian York

Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

He wasn't always this rich. This hot. This difficult.

Aaric Christos was a guy who protected me. Wanted me. Maybe even loved me.

That man is gone.

In his place is the most powerful real estate tycoon in the city.

He's a cold, ruthless, aggressive businessman.

The only one who can save me and my start-up from ruin.

It takes every ounce of courage to put my pride aside and ask for his help.

I didn't expect him to offer it easily.

And he doesn't.

Instead he vets me harder than he's vetted anyone.

Don't invest in what you don't know, he says.

He's assessing every piece of me, to the point I've never felt so bare.

I yearn for the boy I once knew, whose touch once craved me.

Putting it all on the line will be worth it, I tell myself.

Until I realize - too late - that some risks are not worth taking.

A sexy new stand-alone contemporary romance by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Katy Evans.

Disappointing ending

I just finished the book and im sitting here with confused disappointment. What happened to the ending?? Whos baby is it??? How can the book end without an actual answer to the main dilemma in the book? I feel dooped... the narration was good although like most readers wish there was more from the males POV but the female was still good. This was my first and probably last book by this author, im not happy with her flaky writing style.

Looks like I'm in the Minority

What didn’t you like about Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York ’s performance?

I wanted MORE of Sebastian's voice

Any additional comments?

I was so looking forward to reading this book. I found it very disappointing I couldn't connect with the characters. At times I felt that Bryn and Christos were ill-matched, and I didn't buy into the story completely. Plus, I didn't find it interesting until the last few chapters. But on the bright side, I did like the ending.

The Real Series and White House Duet are my ABSOLUTE favorites from the author and I was surprised and disappointed that this book didn't make the cut with me. I won't let that discourage me, I am looking forward to the next book.

I've been bamboozled!

Anything with Sebastian York is usually a sure thing...until now. Elizabeth Louise was awful! I read the description and was interested. I listen to the preview and was excited. I read the reviews and was sold. The moment I heard Elizabeth L. I was disappointed!

Sebastian York couldnt fix this one!!!!

I am a huge fan of Sabastian York and his magnetic voice. I literally always enjoy a book when it is with his voice. This was the first book with him in it that i just couldnt listen to. It was an utter dissapointment. The story was a cheesy storyline. Normally Katy Evans gives her females a back bone and this one didnt even have a vertebrae. To dependent and begging. Just Ehhhh....

Funny, heart-wrenching, and more!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read/Listen Stars!!!!!


Ok, I actually read this before I listened to it. As soon as I saw Sebastian York name attached, I hit preorder right away. I think I preferred listening to this more that I did reading. Sebastian and Elizabeth gave the characters that extra added depth that made me enjoy the story all the more. They really brought the characters to life for me.

Kindle Review:
I have a small list of authors that are on my "Blind Read" List. A "blind read" is one where I don't read the blurb, I just see the author's name and title and I dive right in. Katy Evans is on that list and she did not disappoint in the least. It was funny, a bit aggravating at times, a little heart-wrenching, and a whole lot panty melting!
Christos is super sexy. At first though, I wasn't too sure about him. He was just so cagey and it did take a bit to warm up to him. I loved Bryn right from the start. She had this quirkiness that I liked right away. The two together were a force. Their chemistry was felt through the pages.
Katy Evans is a favorite of mine and I will not hesitate to do another "blind read" with any of her books.

.I really, really, wanted to like this one BUT....

First, I want to make clear I have enjoyed Katy Evans stories, and I preordered and waited anxiously for this book. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. There was so much potential for this story. My heroine came off as more wishy washy and insecure and the hero ... who is supposed to be this worldly tycoon, meh. This book may be geared to young adult audiences. In any case it fell flat to me. Not even the great performance by the narrators could save this.

An enjoyable read of Katy Evans

Katy Evans is one of my favorite authors so her books are pretty much always an auto-delivery for me. 😊
I have loved all of her books & series...well, all except one. The President series. The first one in the series I enjoyed somewhat but the second book, Commander-in-Chief, was not one of my favorites at all. I was so bored from the start. And that is not a feeling I ever usually get with a book of Katy's. She is an amazing writer so I was shocked and disappointed with that series.
But after this book Tycoon, she has redeemed herself with me! 😉 I am totally excited for her NEW book coming out soon....RACER!!!!! It is part of the REAL series! Which is my FAVORITE by far!!! That series is my all time favorite series out of ANY series thus far! :)
So anyhow, I would definitely recommend this book if you are wanting an enjoyable fun-loving book with heart & soul.

Good Second Chance Romance

Aaric has all the money he needs and no one worth sharing it with. He decides to settle for the woman he is with and it will benefit his business. That is until Bit walks back into his life, she is launching a new business and need investors. He makes her work hard for his investment and ends up falling for her again.

Great Love Story

This story was very different from other romance-type stories. The characters, Aaric and Bryn, have a great story. A childhood romance that was thought to be one-sided, but in reality involved both characters. Nothing better than a rich, single, good-looking man and a strong, yet needy, beautiful woman. This story has all the aspects of a great story. I couldn't put it down. The narrator did a great job with the characters and their personalities.

Not recommended

I didn’t finish the book. I made it to chapter 28 out of 38. The female voice was to upbeat & not matching the words being said. Barely a males POV noted. & what was, was from their past of over a decade ago. I now have a head ache.
