Review limited to Goodreads

I found this book to be highly predictable and over-described/hyped by the description. I found myself being able to skim it due to its lightness and even with that, it dragged on.

Reviewed for publisher via Netgalley.

I was unable to connect with this book unfortunately so decided not to review

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

After years of guilt over a long-ago tragedy, Candace Morgan is finally poised for success. The CEO of her own women’s shapewear company, she’s about to launch a new swimsuit line—and make a fortune. When she is guilted into loaning her brother a huge sum of money for real estate, she believes she’s simply fulfilling a family promise. In reality, she’s enabling a devious sociopath…and now, she’s roped into the renovation from hell.
For years, Monty Carawan has envied his sister’s wealth. Spiteful and self-centered, he’s convinced that her success came at the expense of his own future. But when the housing market plunges and Candace attempts to disentangle herself from Monty’s mess, her brother’s malicious streak brings the family tension to a dangerous boiling point.

Sadly, this was a book that I just couldn't get into. The story dragged for the first half (at least) and by the time it actually got to what may have been described as "interesting", I had completely lost interest.

I am leaving this as a two-star rating as I hate leaving only one...

The premise sounded inviting, but this book was too slow moving and I just could not get into it.
