Tycoon Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
A sexy new standalone contemporary romance by NYT and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

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 startup 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.

Katy Evans you clever, clever thing! You really write some great romance novels that allow me a much needed escape at the end of the day. And as usual have me reading to the wee hours of the morning....

This is Bryn and Aaric's story. Their chemistry is off the charts. The yearning between these two was off the charts. The passion off charts. Ultimately the love was off the charts.

“He was a little bit too bad, and I was a little bit too good. He was a demon in the making and I was still Daddy’s little angel.”
As teenagers Bryn was drawn to Aaric however she kept him at arm’s length because she was scared of her feelings for him. Aaric wanted Bryn with an intensity that blindsided him, but he also wanted to be worthy of her.

Fast forward 12 years to the present. Aaric now a ruthless, focused self-made tycoon.
Bryn needs investment for her start-up so gets a time to see Aaric. They are both different people but their attraction is still there and stronger than ever. It's a struggle to keep things professional when they could finally take the chance that Bryn previously denied them. As a reader you really feel the push and pull as they challenge each other.

Tycoon is just a great read and super hot! Katy Evans definitely accelerates the energy as things ramp up and their chemistry sizzles. With a good balance of romance, angst and some of Aaric's POV, I was riveted to the very last swipe.

This story was a great read of childhood missed opportunities and meetings when life’s choices were almost made. These two had their life together when they get a curve ball thrown at them. But fate was not to be outdone and comes through in the end . Great narration too.

I like idea of this book. I read to 55% because the flashbacks from Aarick past kept interested. I didn't like Bryn, that didn't help. I'm in the minority with my 2 stars, I guess it's just not a book for me.

One more trivial issue, Aarick was a really annoying name to read, repeatedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get ready for one rollercoaster of a ride
Reviewed in Australia on 20 June 2017
Yes!

Firstly, - the guy on the cover is mine! I am not usually one to worry about the covers, but this one I keep going to look at!

Yes, this is a billionaire and poor girl story, but it is not the normal. This story has been years in the making for Aaric Christos and Bryn, and l loved that we got to see it in both past and present tense.

I freaking adore Christos - both past and present. I need to start a game of Where's Christos, because he is heading right to the top of book boyfriend chart!

Our lovelies story is sweet, sexy and beautiful. Their past and present tie them together in an story of love and passion, but most of all friendship. And friendship is the best base for all relationships, am I right?

I did get frustrated at Bryn a couple of times, throwing out those mixed signals, however I LOVED how persistent and how constant Christos is towards Bryn.

"Beside me is Aaric, the boy from my past who's no longer just a boy, and no longer just in my past.

My what if."

Ms Evans has given us witty banter, lingering glances and characters that will stay with you for a while.

I really enjoyed Tycoon, and I can't wait to see what Ms Evans brings us next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold onto your hearts
Reviewed in Australia on 20 June 2017
For everyone person that believes in love, for every person that holds onto their first love to be their last love; well this book is for you. Katy Evans has once again outdone and outshone herself with her latest read.

Tycoon is all about the wondrous feels and frills you get from finding the love of your life; you know that one person who you are meant to be with for eternity. Well I did say it's all about love but not without a few bumps and bruises on the way. Love can't be that easy you know to hold onto to.

Well the characters will make you work for that thirst. Aaric and Bryn will make you believers in soulmates; in the skip in your step on a gloomy day, in rainbows and unicorns because damn it if they cannot be together then I seriously don't know who deserves it more than these two.

I loved the strength in these characters, their fight and feistiness, their worth and sacrifice in every decision they make. However hold onto your hearts ladies because the kissing scene that is created in this book (and you will know the one I'm talking about) will sizzle your panties into smithereens. Holy moly moly!!!!! I'm still panting as I'm thinking about it.

A standing ovation is definitely a given for this book . Get it , read it , own it.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy second chances romance
Reviewed in the United States on 20 June 2017

What a thrill!!! Every time I read that Katy Evans is going to publish a new book that thrilled me because she never disappoints, Katy's romances are always too explosive and full of attraction and chemistry.
Tycoon is a tender romance, sensual, passionate and with that attraction and chemistry that cause you goosebumps and makes you sigh, and the best and that I loved more, is of second chances, takes us for a journey through time where we see glances of the past and the present of both protagonists.
I thought that no protagonist could dethrone Remy, but believe me when I say that Aaric came very close to him and I'm still thinking about it.
Aaric and Bryn have known each other since high school, they were very close friends, but they never came to more, although they both wanted, it was not their moment, there were always doubts, too much fear, too many "what if", and no one take risks, despite that the attraction is felt in the dialogues and in the monologues of the characters.
After many years both have changed a lot and they meet again, this because Bryn looks for Aaric to help her with money for her business and he is a very powerful man, then the chemistry and attraction that they felt had reappears and becomes much more, but small detail, Aaric has a girlfriend and they are about to become business partners. So, despite all Bryn is super reluctant to be carried away by what she feels and tries to resist.
But the attraction is almost palpable in the pages and the dialogues cause you a swarm of butterflies in the stomach.
Then Aaric wants to get to Bryn and is willing to do anything to achieve it.

Loved the characters, they are perfect for each other, Aaric Christos, Ohmy!!! A tender, sexy, warm, devoted, loyal, good friend, radiating sensuality, warmth, that made me laugh and that caused me so much tenderness.
There is something about all the male characters of Katy, they always radiate so much masculinity and are so protective of the ones they love, Aaric, it's all that and more, and what I liked the most is that he is always there for Bryn and seeks to protect her despite of everything. He shows in every moment everything he feels for her.
Bryn is a beautiful girl, who wants to get ahead, and for that she seeks help in Aaric. He tests and encourages her to be a better person.
As time goes on, the feelings they have for each other are resurfacing and increasing and it is difficult for both of them to be close and not give in to the attraction and feelings they have. But in addition, begin to arise difficulties, problems and to resurge old fears.
I love the dialogues, and Katy's description of feelings is out of the ordinary. That attraction sparks from the pages.
I loved Aaric's POVs, a glimpse of his mind and I fell down at his feet, a new literary boyfriend. What a beautiful man, in those little glimpses we saw how persevering Aaric is and everything that fights for his feelings, his patience and surrender to Bryn.

The secondary characters are always important and I really can not wait for the story of Ian and Sara.
If you want a story with great passion, chemistry, sweetness, friendship, second chances, this is perfect for you, you will not want to miss this alpha male and his beautiful love story.

Das Buch ist eine ganz nette Lektüre und hat auch eigentlich alles, was ein schnulziger Liebesroman haben sollte. Aber irgendwie bin ich nicht richtig reingekommen. Es war einfach nicht so überzeugend. Die ganze Saint Reihe ist ähnlich, aber hat mich persönlich mehr angesprochen.

This review is from: Tycoon (Kindle Edition)
“ He’s the biggest what if I’ve ever had in my life. The one you always wonder about.”

Katy Evans, YOU HAD ME AT THE COVER!!!!!
First of all let’s talk about this cover!!!I don’t know how Katy Evans does it, but she always has stunning covers, and Tycoon is a new favourite of mine. She has managed once again, to give us a sexy and mesmerising cover that in my opinion, represents Aaric perfectly.

“Everyone knows him. He’s lava.” I groan despairingly. “He’s the whole volcano.”

Aaric Christos was the one who will get in trouble in High School, the one that girls like despite his background. Bryn was his friend. They shared everything – their fears, emotions and more but Bryn has always wanted to protect their friendship… and Aaric has always wanted to protect Bryn..so nothing ever happened between them.

“He was always…more. More than the norm, always the first. The first you’d see in a room. The first who’d dare the dares in the parties that no one else would. The first to offer help when you needed it”

Now, 30 years old Bryn and Aaric meet again. For Bryn, Aaric will always be her WHAT IF. For Aaric, Bryn will always be “ little bit”, the girl he never got to kiss.
“so infinitely Aaric Christos. My what if.”

He is now a rich, powerful and sexy CEO in NYC.
“How the hell did a boy with an interesting face become the guy with the hottest face in the world?”

After the death of her parents, Bryn decides to move to NYC to start her Startup “House of Sass”. She is determined and driven to achieve her goal but she needs funding. So when, she manages to secure an appointment with the famous CEO Aaric Christos, she didn’t expect to feel, to be attracted to the man who was once, her best friend.
Will they get a second chance at love? Will Aaric help Bryn to make her dream come true?

“Never expect anyone to complete you. Don’t be two halves to make a whole, be two wholes and make something more.”

Tycoon is a love story that spoke to my heart and made me feel!!! The nicknames, yes the nicknames made my heart melt BIG TIME!!!

For me Tycoon was a sexy, endearing and totally addictive story… It was a modern fairy-tale. Katy Evans knows how to write FANTASTIC romance. Engrossing, addictive, hot, and so very emotional. They are toe-curlingly good.

“dreams come true . . . because you, Bryn, you were my own dream coming true for me.”

This book is about second chances and love! I loved so many quotes in the book that I wanted to wrote all of them but I clearly was unable to ...I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys second chances romances!

“Like a glass of oil is overflowing with water until the oil overflows and then it’s just the most fresh and hydrating water.” “I’m the water in your glass.”
