My Copy: Ebook from NetgalleyBook Whisperer's 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.
Holy crap! This book is
the kind of book where you start and you just cannot stop. The characters are absolutely brilliant and
they pull you into their lives.
For instances, I absolutely hated Drew with all of my being and
loved him at the same time. He was so
cocky, rude, and just repulsive at some times but then, when you heard his
intake on it, why he did what he did, why he acts like he acts, you couldn’t
help but love him. He was so horrid that
at times I wanted to slap him but then he would do something wonderful and I
wanted to kiss that almost slapped face.
Kate was the wonderful opposite of Drew and in meeting her, Kate
turned his life around. She was the kind
of girl that I want to be: smart, level headed, kind, loving, and
beautiful. Drew is drawn to her because
of her beauty at first, then once he finds out who she is, he gets to witness
her brilliant mind at work. With that
kind of package (beauty and brilliance and the fact that he thinks she is
stealing his job), Drew makes her his mortal enemy. This leads to some wonderful quips and fights
between the two. But the moment when
Drew realizes that Kate is more than what meets the eye is amazing! The relationship that they start is something
to marvel at and the moment when it crumbles, I just didn’t know what to
do. I kept yelling, “Fight for her Drew!
Fight for her!”
Emma Chase is brilliant for being able to dig into a man’s
psyche and write a love story based on his side.
