I have been a fan of Isabelle’s books ever since she was writing Ditching the Dream. And the few m/m books she has written have been fabulous. It was an honor to read Beau Tyed. I absolutely loved it.
When you read the blurb, is asks “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”
Well let me tell you!! Beau and Ty have been friends their entire lives and not only that, but they both thought they were straight.

This is a HEA book that you NEED to read, you won’t be disappointed- you WILL be marking this as a top read of 2019!
Isabelle Peterson knows how to write a MM scene. This was a best friends to lovers romance. Each struggling with how their newfound relationship changed everything. The ups and downs between them felt honest. I was happy they found their way.
I was totally hooked from the very beginning of this well written storyline with characters that were written with great detail and depth that as I turned each and every page, Beau and Ty jumped from the pages and pulled me right into their story as it effortlessly unfolded!
I absolutely loved this fake boyfriend, friends to lovers MM romance. Beau Tyed was an absolute page turner with a great storyline and amazing characters.
Beau and Ty are perfect together and their love and chemistry is undeniable. When Beau pretends to be Ty’s boyfriend, neither of them expect it to feel so “real”. Sparks fly, one thing leads to another and everything changes after one night of doing what feels “right”.

Beau Tyed…it’s not what you are thinking right at this moment…Beau wasn’t tied up…he MAY have been tied in knots…but not physically…or wait…maybe he was? You’ll have to read to find out for sure. Ty York and Beau Thompson have been friends for ever. Things were never “like that” between them. Heck it really wasn’t “like that” for them with any man. But when Ty hires his best friend to pretend they are together to reinforce his deception, things have a way of going astray…and astride. What happens when what should be fake, doesn’t feel very fake anymore? I completely enjoyed this story and Isabelle brings us a fun, sometimes steamy friends to fake lovers to lovers story that you will enjoy as well.

What an amazing story!
Beau Tyed is a standalone MM romance written by author Isabelle Peterson. As soon as I opened the book, I was hooked and unable to put it down. It had the perfect combination of heat and heart, and I was longing for the pages to never end.
Beau Tyed tells the story of Beau Thompson and Ty York, and they have been best friends since they were little kids. Ty recently was hired as a photographer for Drake magazine, and he soon finds himself telling Steve, his boss, that he’s gay in order to stop his advances. When Steve informs Ty of a company weekend event, he requests that Ty bring his boyfriend along.
Ty immediately thinks of Beau, and he asks him to pretend to be his boyfriend at the event. When Beau agrees, Ty starts thinking about that one time when he tried to teach Beau how to dance. Ty remembered how good it felt to be in Beau’s arms and wonders what it would feel like to be with him. The problem is that Beau is engaged to be married to Holly Pierce on New Year’s Eve. How was Ty going to get through this weekend when he keeps thinking of that dance.
Beau Tyed is another fabulous story and my favorite so far from author Isabelle Peterson! This is one you don’t want to miss!

When Ty got offered an amazing job his first stop was to celebrate with his best friend Beau. When Ty’s new boss asks if he has to worry if Ty will be an issue with the models, to ensure there won’t be an issue, Ty assures his boss with the uttered phrase “I’m gay”. Now all Ty can think is what was he thinking, and now he has to find a “boyfriend”. His first thought is Beau, who happens to be an aspiring actor, who of course is willing to play the part of “boyfriend”. What happens when the liquid courage and the touches that were just meant for show start to have an effect?
This was a good quick read; with loads of drama, and some hot naughty bits. I give this 4 stars.
Original review: https://myshelfbooks.wordpress.com/2020/01/10/review-beau-tyed-by-isabelle-peterson/
My experience with this book has been identical to the couple of times in my life I’ve gone bowling. I grab the prettiest ball that I can find and everything seems dandy when approaching the lane. I throw the ball and it rolls beautifully during a couple of seconds. But then it starts getting dangerously close to the borders and… I become the laughingstock of the group. This is book is just like that. And yes, I picked it because the cover is very pretty.
This story is told from the point of view of a couple of characters: Ty and Beau. Ty is a straight fashion photographer who has just landed the job of his dreams, but he has promised his new boss that he is not interested in the female models due to his preference for men. So, when Ty is invited to a party organized by his company and encouraged to take a significant plus one with him, the filthy liar must ask his good friend for a favour. That friend is not other than Beau, an actor in the making and also very straight; but he would do anything for Ty. So, to the party they go… hand in hand. Will that be the start of a beautiful relationship or the end of their friendship?
I’m actually sad that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I was expecting. The idea is not something out of the ordinary, but it is a scenario easily enjoyable that can be the precursor for some good humor. The problem rests in the execution of it. The beginning is promising, with a good pace to introduce the main characters, their current situations and a glimpse to what is in the future for them. The thicker the plot gets, the more twisted and unbelievale it becomes. And its width is something that keeps getting bigger and bigger until the last moment, where everything ends abruptly and we just have to accept the final result. In my opinion, the author didn’t handle properly the main drama of this book (friend-to-lovers and all that); so adding even more obstacles to their relationship when the book was about to finish is a bit sloppy. There wasn’t enough time to finish all properly as it is shown in the sudden ending and in the over-the-top epilogue.
I want to like the characters. I really do, but they don’t make it any easier. Most of the time I couldn’t stomach Ty. He is nice and all that, but he behaves like a male hormone with two legs (or three… *wink*). His womanizer attitude is so annoying. Instead of the player the author wanted to introduce us, we get a pig and a creeper. Something that is in total contrast with the rest of his personality, which provoked me a little headache trying to reconcile Ty’s two sides. And then we have Beau, who is much more enjoyable even though everything that surrounds him is laughable. Clear example: does anybody understand the Holly situation? Why are they together and about to get married? Zero chemistry. Zero empathy. Zero warmth. That only showed me that Beau is a chump who thinks that a relationship is just a bandage around his eyes.
But the messiest thing of it all is the romance. When both characters are presented as 100% straight guys I had to frown. A weird start point for love, but not impossible. It is obvious they are very tight friends, but I couldn’t see any room for a fast romance in such a short book. It seems that that must be my problem, because I had barely winked twice when they were already kissing and having sex. Seriously? Just like that? In a book where the characters tell themselves over and over again that they are not gay? That’s the main reason I find their relationship hard to believe. Thankfully, the naughty scenes are well written and made the whole deal bearable. Sadly, when we approach the ending there is a cataclysmic event in the story that adds a new layer of irritating situations with an ending that reaffirms my opinion that Beau should check his eyesight. Ty is not for you. I don’t care what the epilogue says…
And talking about the epilogue. If it were somekind of parody about the epilogues in the Romance genre I would have thought it was a genious idea. Even a hilarious one. But the sad truth is that is not a parody at all and it is the real deal. It is a total freak show where I was incapable of recognizing the characters. They weren’t great characters, but that epilogue ruins them transforming them into something they are not. All of that with a generous serving of details that are the poster child for absurdity in books.
Even though I have many issues about the development of this story, the book is easy-to-read and has a decent pace that won’t bore the reader. The narration style is very comfortable and I found myself immersed in that tiny world without any problem. It just suffers from a lack of sensible direction.
