Tangled

Finally getting to this almost 8 years after publication hahaha Should have read it then cause I don't know if some of these concepts are still okay in today's society. Still a really fun read from a male POV.

Actually funny. 😂

5 Stars ★★★★★‌ HI BOOKLOVERS, “𝙁𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪!” 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙨 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙠 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧. “𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚? 𝙉𝙤𝙬?” 𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙪𝙥 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙄’𝙢 𝙙𝙚𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩. “𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡…𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙚. 𝙈𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙣.” Funny. Hilarious. I'm crying and laughing at the same time. I don't care what everybody said about this book or the hero I just love it. It's not like everyday you read rom-com on with the Hero telling you his Point of View. It was a less depressed love story I'm sure you're appreciate. I can't wait to read the second book. Highly Recommended :) xoxo. Kath!

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance *contains spoilers* Tangled is the first book in the tangled series and I finally got up the courage to grab up this novel. I have had this book on my TBR for the longest time ever, and so I finally grabbed it from KU (and Scribd also carries it if you are a subscriber there too) and I will say that this book was the most unique that I have ever read from Emma Chase. I have really enjoyed this author's writing style and most especially in how she handles dual POV in the majority of her books but I believe that this is the first time that I have ever picked up a book where its in 1st POV---with the hero's perspective and boy I LOVED it. I know this is a much harder perspective for authors to write, but seriously I fell in love and it seemed so realistic. And Emma Chase knows how to handle a good flashback scenario. She writes it in such a way that I didn't mind it at all. So BRAVO Emma Chase. Tangled begins with our hero, Drew, which starts off with him being sick in his apartment. And he is more heart sick than anything else, because he has fallen hard in love and lost someone special and believes he has lost her forever so he then takes us back down memory lane. So we are taken back four months previous to the beginnings of the first chapter where Drew meets his lovely kickass lady...Katherine Brooks. Their first meeting happens at a club, and Drew is a ladies man, loves sex and isn't ashamed of his one night stands. But there is one woman that draws his attention, but even though she seems amused by his antics, she is engaged and leaves him and Drew is a bit shocked. He doesn't ever get turned down. But his shock comes when the sexy woman that he can't get out of his mind is to work with him on projects for his work. And now he knows that he is trouble because he never ever mixes business with pleasure but Katherine is tempting him. But soon his father and his boss, forces Katherine and Drew to battle each other for certain projects and the war is on. And before either of them realizes it the angst between them turns to passion and fiery love that is never boring. But Drew makes a dreadful mistake and hurts Katherine in the worst way and now Drew knows he must win Katherine back. She is the only woman he could love and doesn't want to lose her. But who will win this battle? God, she’s beautiful. I mean, look at her. She’s like a volcano going off—fierce and fiery and breathtaking. If she doesn’t find a way to ugly herself down, I’m going to be spending an awful lot of time pissing her off. Which might not be such a bad thing in the end. Angry sex is awesome. I actually found this book to be quite amusing from beginning to end. I will mention that the pacing could have been slightly better. The first few pages really get you hooked, but the beginning part of the flashback is written a bit slower than how the book begins, so you do need to stick with it. But I did fall in love with seeing Drew's perspective and it was so different than I was expecting going into this book. First off this author's writing style of writing from the male perspective is hilarious and has such a realistic feel to it but I found it so relatable in the small ways. Its quirky and weird and fun. I was fine not having the heroine's perspective because Emma Chase does a wonderful job in how she styles this story. Edward Cullen can take his stupid heroine and OD on it. Kate is my own personal brand of Viagra. There is LOTS of angst, especially in the first meetings between Katherine and Drew and boy these two really hate each other at first and loved the jokes they play on each other just for a job hehe I really couldn't get enough of seeing what they would do next to each other. Then we see how that hate game that they are playing turns into passion and boy they could make the house burn down with the fiery hot desire they feel for each other. But we see that even though they do great in bed, they have great chemistry and intimacy that develops between them. And then the downfall and misunderstanding happens and yes men are idiots and we see the evidence of that in Drew. He is a flawed human being and he knows it. But he is also devoted to his family, loyal when he chooses and is a fighter. We see the true strength of his character and what he is willing to do to get his girl. Katherine is a badass heroine, she is smart, passionate, strong willed and goes after her dreams. But she has her own vulnerabilities and is all about relationships and doesn't trust Drew after he hurts her and I like that she sticks with her guns in this book. She knows what she wants and she wants to be treated right and boy she really puts Drew in the ringer for quite a while but I loved seeing all his crazy schemes to get her to open up to him again. Assume nothing. Even if you think you know everything. Even if you're sure that you're right. Get confirmation. That whole "ass" cliché about assuming? It's right on the money. And if you're not careful, it could end costing you the best thing that's ever happen to you Overall I found Tangled to be a endearing read of laughs, gumption and true love that is a battle but worth the fight!! FANTASTIC!

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!

This book was so much fun. Exactly what I needed with exams approaching

I find it really upsetting that this was a 2013 readers choice winner. I have read a lot of books in this genre, my expectations are not that high, but this book is so full of bad stereotypes and rampant misogyny it pains me that so many people gave it 5 star reviews. I am horrified to think that any women believes this book is representative of how men think, and how men should treat women in any situation. The main male character, Drew, has absolutely no redeeming qualities and there is nothing realistic or genuine about the entire book. Almost every word out of his mouth is sexual harassment and completely inappropriate.

Comencé este libro porque quiero ver la película, y fue una mala idea. Mala idea porque fue escrito en el 2013, tal vez si mi yo de esos años lo hubiera leído, le hubiera encantado, porque es toda la línea que solía disfrutar, pero la verdad es que hoy en día ni me gustan los playboys y me daba un tic con cada pensamiento que tenía Drew. So, en conclusión la historia de Drew y Kate no fue para mí, más que nada por como ahora visualizo este tipo de historias, el momento de lectura fue erróneo, en otros tiempos seguro lo hubiera disfrutado mucho.

Who hasn't recommended this book to all their friends? It's a must read! It's smart, funny, and oh-so sexy. I laughed out loud numerous times but there was still a lot of depth to the characters, our hero especially, so that I couldn't stop rooting for his happy ending. A witty, modern romance. I can't wait for the next edition of the series.
