Casey Lu gets "Tangled" up with Emma Chase

Get Tangled with Emma Chase


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



Review~


Tangled is one of those rare books that make you laugh so hard your insides literally hurt when you are done with it. This hilarious peek inside of a man’s brain is just freaking fabulous.  Drew Evans is that man that you want to slap on the back of the head, but also want to be in around him because he is tons of fun and good to look at.

This book kind of pulls a Quentin Tarantino. We start this book with Drew on the sofa faking the flu due to some serious heartbreak. He admits to his sister that he has finally fallen in love, but that his dream woman is marrying someone else. Then he proceeds to tell us his story of how he ended up on said couch. His tale of woe is full of his manly advice and quotes that will have you gasping for air as you read them. For example:

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. If a guy’s into you? A cheeseburger deluxe is not going to scare him away. And if he’s not? Ingesting all the greens on Petter Cottontail’s farm isn’t going to change that, trust me.

Kate Brooks really gives this self-proclaimed ladies’ man the run for his money. She is his kryptonite. From the moment he sees her, he is enchanted by her, and starts to change SOME of his bad boy ways.  I love the dynamic between them so much, and the fact that she doesn’t just fall at his feet like the women he is so used to. He really has to work for her love. Add in his wonderful niece Mackenzie who keeps everyone on their toes, and this book is a definite winner!!! This is an absolutely wonderful book!! Finding out that this is the author’s first book is quite the shook, but I can guarantee I will be reading her next one! I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I have!!!!  :)
