REVIEW - Tangled by Emma Chase

Drew Evans thinks he has it all. A top job, the perfect bachelor pad, and enough charm and good looks to make sure he gets any woman he wants - just for one night, of course.  All that changes when he meets Kate Brooks.  No one has intrigued – or infuriated – him more, and the sparks that fly between the two of them are something he has never experienced before. Told entirely from Drew’s point of view, Tangled by Emma Chase is a hot and hilarious read that will leave you smiling.

Do you see that unshowered, unshaven heap on the couch? The guy in the dirty grey T-shirt and ripped sweatpants?

That’s me, Drew Evans.

I’m not usually like this. I mean, that really isn’t me.

From those first lines, I knew this book was something different.  The way he talked to the reader, the male’s point of view – I had to know how this was going to play out, and how he ended up as a heap on his couch.  The resulting story was nothing short of entertaining – watching the banter and competition between Kate and Drew had me laughing out loud constantly. But more than that, through all the antics I got to know them.  I wanted them together, could see how they were just right for each other.  I didn’t realize that was happening, until it came to the point that I just FELT for them and what they meant to each other.  This book wasn’t just funny, it had my heart wrapped up in the characters. Sneaky you, Emma Chase!! How’d you do that so easily???

While sometimes I didn’t appreciate the asides breaking up the story, one of the best parts of the book was getting inside Drew’s brain. A romance entirely from the male’s point of view, and a cocky male at that, make this book really unique.  We know the reasons behind every word, stare, and action – whether we want to or not, lol! His thoughts and his defence of said thoughts are more often than not funny or crude, yet they ring of truth.  

Like a guy’s going to say to his friend, “Dude, she was one fugly chick, but once I saw her chomping that romaine, I just had to nail her.”

No man wants to fuck a skeleton – and nibbling crackers and water like a prisoner of war at dinner isn’t attractive. It just makes us think about what a cranky bitch you’re going to be later on because you’re starving.

I was dying laughing! My husband was asking me what was going on and I was all " chomping romaine!!" and he didn't understand. 

Plain and simple, read this book. It was funny, enjoyable, and feel-good all at the same time. You will fall for the characters and root for a happy ending. You will not be disappointed!
