In the third unforgettable book by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase, Matthew Fisher—the best friend of Drew Evans from Tangled andTwisted—wants to settle down, but he’ll have to overcome the mistrust of the vividly unique Dee Dee Warren. Includes a bonus short story, Holy Frigging Matrimony!


Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: girl meets player, they fall in love, player changes his ways.

It’s a good story. But it’s not our story. Ours is a lot more colorful.

When I met Dee, I knew right away that she was special. When she met me, she thought I was anything but special—I was exactly like every other guy who’d screwed her over and let her down. It took some time to convince her otherwise, but it turns out I can make a convincing argument when sex is at stake.

You might know where this story’s headed. But the best part isn't where we ended up.

It’s how we got there.

Emma Chase has done it again with her new book Tamed. It is a great story that follows up with the characters from the previous books, Tangled (book 1) & Twisted (book 2).

Tamed now focuses on Delores Warren also known as Dee and her relationship with Matthew Fisher. At first they really seem like an unlikely pair. Matthew is more reserved and predictable whereas Dee is just the opposite, with her loud clothing options and bright hair. She has spunk and Matthew loves it. The more the two hang out the more Matthew realizes that this relationship is different for him and even though in the past he was a player, he really wants this one to last. Dee on the other hand is trying her hardest to keep the relationship simple. She has a wall she keeps up in order to not give her heart away for fear of getting hurt. The pair end up getting in a fight and breaking it off and they are both miserable. After a week she comes to her senses and goes to tell her man she loves him. By the end of the book they both realize they can't live without each other and head to Vegas and get married. 

 
It is a great book that makes you laugh and cry. I would totally recommend it.

Book Review: Tangled by Emma Chase

Tangled #1

In New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase’s sizzling and hilarious debut novel, Drew Evans—gorgeous, arrogant, irreverent, and irresistibly charming—meets his match in new colleague Kate Brooks.

Drew Evans is handsome and arrogant, he makes multimillion dollar business deals and seduces New York’s most beautiful women with just a smile. 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. 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.

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. As he tells his story, Drew learns the one thing he never wanted in life, is the only thing he can’t live without.

I will admit that at first glance of the cover I was a bit hesitant. I just knew this was going to be another cheesy sex story with no substance.

BUT THIS!

This story, Drew’s story, is nothing less than fabulous. It has been said that you can tell by the end of a book’s first chapter how you will feel about the rest of the book. I knew after the first two pages! It was hooked.

I loved Drew. The entire story is told from his point of view and it was hilarious and dirty and arrogant and freaking sexy! Drew is a “never say no to a challenge” kind of guy. He is wealthy and handsome and uses his charm and slick way with words to get what he wants and who he wants. Did I mention that he can be an ass and a bit of a tramp?

And then there is Kate. Kate is the smoking hot new employee at Drew’s marketing firm. In his rule book, that means hands-off. But Kate has done the impossible. She has cast a spell on him that he won’t soon forget. One problem, she’s engaged.

And so the battle (more like a tumultuous dance) begins between Drew and Kate. A fierce competition for a hot account at work and the smolder brewing between them, between the sheets, it’s almost too much!I loved that Drew’s narration is very blunt and to the point. No holds barred just you and Drew sitting down for some juicy gossip.

My favorite lines in the book come from Kate’s 4 year old daughter speaking to Drew.

Mackenzie raises her hand proudly. “I have a bagina.”
I smirk. “Yes you do sweetheart. And someday, it’s gonna help you rule the world.
“Johnny Fitzgerald has a penis. He says his penis is better than my bagina.”
“Johnny Fitzgerald’s an idiot. Vaginas beat penises every time. They’re like kryptonite. Penises are defenseless against them.”

Near the end of the story, we do finally get to see a softer side of Drew. He loves Kate, and you can feel it, the way he longs for her, the way he loves her. This story has tons of humor, really hot sex scenes and a hidden treasure of a love story. It is a gem.

I recommend it and look forward to the next books in the Tangled series.
