The Tycoon

2.5 rounded to 3.

Brother's best friend/Best friend's little sister is one of my least favourite romance tropes, particularly because the obstacles to the main characters' relationship seem flimsy at best. In this particular case, I really hated that Wyatt asked that they keep their relationship secret. It led to jealousy (on both sides) and a lot of feelings of inadequacy on Andie's end, that I didn't really want them to be together by the end of the book. So much of the book was spent in what felt to me like a toxic relationship, that by the time the big reconciliation rolled around I was ready for them to end it. I usually enjoy Susannah Nix's books but this was a miss.
