My Rating:
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.
Love. Hilarity. Sexy. Prick! I think those are the words that come to mind when I think of Drew Evans in Tangled. This book had been on my shelf to read for months. MONTHS I TELL YOU! Something just kept getting in the way though. If I could go back in time and slap myself I would.
Take Ferris Bueller and make him a rich, spoiled and dashing playboy and you will get Drew Evans. It is rare to get a book from a male’s POV and really get into it. What Emma Chase has done is taken the male POV and flipped it on its head. She has taken that element of the fourth wall and broken it down with a sledge hammer.
Throughout the book you feel as if Drew isn’t just telling his story, it is as if he has sat you down, gotten you a drink and is spilling all his deep twisty feelings to you as if you are his closest friend. It made me feel like I was in it with him.
We start the story with this eternal bachelor who needs some growing up to do. As a woman, you want to hate this cocky son of a bitch. You really do. But something about his naivety about love and him seeing Kate as something more than a piece of ass is kinda sweet.
Of course there is no shortage on rich playboy books out there. But this one feels like it knows what it is and somewhat pokes fun at it. You start to fall in love with these characters without even realizing it until you start rooting for them to really get a clue.
Drew Evans isn’t the guy you bring home to mom. He isn’t even one you want to take you out on a nice date. However, he is like the puppy that keeps peeing on the carpet when you tell him no and you can’t help but cuddle him when he pouts up at you.
Read this for the funny. Read it for the sexy times. And in the words of the eternal Ferris,
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
READ THIS BOOK!
Until Next Time!
