Tyler has been friends with Landon since college. He doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize that, but he can't also deny the attraction he feels for the man although he's straight. Anyway, he can't ever act on those desires because his family would disown him and Landon is straight too.Landon has been keeping his attraction for Tyler a secret for years. For him it goes deeper than merely finding Tyler attractive. He loves the man and is afraid to act on those feelings because he doesn't want to ruin their friendship. But one night it becomes to much for him to keep at bay and they kiss. Tyler retreats. Landon decides to move on. Can they find themselves before it's too late?Waiting for Ty was a sweet, friends to lovers story. It didn't pack much of a punch, but the concept was a good one and the characters were interesting enough to keep my attention and cheer them on to make something out their relationship.There were aspects of the story that didn't work for me. I found it hard that Tyler confronted his family and confessed his relationship with Landon after all the fuss he made and what he put Landon through when he stayed away. Although their connection felt real and their chemistry was sizzling-hot, I still think that they resolved their problems way too fast for it to be a believable outcome. Then again, this is fiction so I won't hold it against the author.This is the first book by Samantha Ann King that I read and I liked it. It had sweet moments, confrontational dialogue and sexy-as-hell love scenes as well. Waiting for Ty is also the second book in the Lovers and Friends series and although it can be read as a stand alone I did feel a little lost when the secondary characters were introduced, since the author made reference to some people and events that took place in the previous book but not enough for me that it stopped me from reading. I will probably pick up Sharing Hailey  to know more about them.I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
