Synopsis:
Drew Evans is a winner. Handsome and arrogant, he makes multimillion dollar business deals and seduces New York’s most beautiful women with just a smile. He has loyal friends and an indulgent family. So why has he been shuttered in his apartment for seven days, miserable and depressed?
He’ll tell you he has the flu.
But we all know that’s not really true.
Katherine Brooks is brilliant, beautiful and ambitious. She refuses to let anything – or anyone – derail her path to success. When Kate is hired as the new associate at Drew’s father’s investment banking firm, every aspect of the dashing playboy’s life is thrown into a tailspin. The professional competition she brings is unnerving, his attraction to her is distracting, his failure to entice her into his bed is exasperating.
Then, just when Drew is on the cusp of having everything he wants, his overblown confidence threatens to ruin it all. Will he be able untangle his feelings of lust and tenderness, frustration and fulfillment? Will he rise to the most important challenge of his life?
Can Drew Evans win at love?
Tangled is not your mother’s romance novel. It is an outrageous, passionate, witty narrative about a man who knows a lot about women…just not as much as he thinks he knows. As he tells his story, Drew learns the one thing he never wanted in life, is the only thing he can’t live without.
My Review:
Tangled is the debut from author Emma Chase. By the third page I was laughing out loud and completely hooked!! This book was deliciously AMAZING!
This story open up with Drew Evans, über successful investment banker and ladies man extraordinaire, complaining to us about his awful bout with the flu….or so he is trying to convince us (as well as trying to convince himself). Turns out Drew is the newest member of the Broken Heart Club, something he’s totally unfamiliar with. You see, Drew is a wealthy, handsome, successful, young and single playboy. He loves his life. Working hard and playing harder. It’s a new girl every weekend and that’s how he likes it. He has no desire to be tied down…well, at least in the whole relationship sense that is *wink*. It’s at the start of one of those bachelor weekends that he meets a stunningly beautiful brunette who turns him down flat….a concept he’s also unfamiliar with. Naturally he can’t stop thinking about her…and as luck would have it, he won’t have to wonder about her for too long as she is the newest member of his family’s investment firm. Drew isn’t sure whether to curse or thank the fates for this little surprise. Kate is totally off limits…not only does she work with him, she’s engaged to another man and there’s also that little problem of her shutting down every advance he makes. Drew has never wanted anyone more than he wants Kate. Ever. Will he be as successful with Kate as he is in every other aspect of his life? God, he sure hopes so.
So as I had said, by page three I was HOOKED! This book is effing HILARIOUS! I will say, I have never read a romance told from the guy’s perspective, but Emma kicked ass! Drew is seriously a guy any gal would be lucky to have. He is funny, charming, handsome, the whole package. He’s loyal to his bro-friends. He loves his family, even if he has a colorful nickname for his sister and although he’s pretty much a womanizer, he does it in the cutest way! What’s most enjoyable about this story is that he talks to the reader. Actually speaks to us. It plays out like a Ferris Bueller movie! Like, in the middle of a scene, Drew stops and makes side notes to the reader. I LOVED that! It was such a different reading experience and will be really hard to beat. I loved Kate as well. She is a perfect match for Drew. And she knocks him to his knees…hard and fast and it is delicious to watch play out. Oh, I should probably mention there are some of the hottest and well-written smexy scenes I’ve had the pleasure of reading and had me drooling! Damn, Emma can write a sex filled weekend like no other! Over all I LURVED this book and devoured it. It was one of those take-your-ereader-everywhere-you-go-in-case-you-have-a-mesely-five-minutes-to-spare kind of reads.
If you’ve started your summer reading list, move this one to the TOP! And if you haven’t started your summer reading list, who cares….buy this book and read it now! You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Emma, for a kick-ass, fresh and addictive read….I will certainly be looking for more of your work in the future!

About the author:
Emma is an avid reader. Before her children were born she was known to consume whole books in a single day. Writing has also always been a passion and with the 2013 release of her debut romantic comedy, Tangled, the ability to now call herself an author is nothing less than a dream come true.
