There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I've always been more of a looker. Cautious. A planner. That changed after I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself – and of me.

But not all love stories end happily ever after. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset? Join the club. Now I have to make a choice, the most important of my life. Drew already made his –in fact, he tried to decide for the both of us. But you know that’s just not my style. So I came back to Greenville. Alone. Well, sort of alone....

What I've come to realize is that old habits die hard and sometimes you have to go back to where you began, before you can move ahead.

Book Review

I fell in love with Emma Chase's writing with her first book, Tangled. It was told from Drew's POV and was the story of the very rich, and very man-whorish, Drew Evans and how he succumbed to Cupid's mighty arrow. He fell hard for Kate Brooks. Tangled was sexy, funny, and filled with angst.

Twisted is told from Kate's POV and picks up two years into their relationship. But things aren't as rosy as them seem. And it's all because of a HUGE mis-communication between Drew and Kate. Drew still has some insecurities and when Kate isn't upfront about meeting up with Bob (who is a woman), things quickly unravel between the two lovers. Both characters over-react, their emotions at an all-time high. And something that would have taken a few minutes to work out, if they had just stopped and TALKED, turns out to devastate the both of them. Of course, without the mis-communication, there would be no story. 

Twisted is everything I expected it to be: A highly entertaining read with sex appeal galore. Drew is still the charming ass as in Tangled. But the moment when he realizes that no matter what happened, he cannot live without Kate, and he falls to his knees? S-W-O-O-N. Despite his flaws, Drew is a great character to watch as he muddles his way through his mistakes.

Tangled wraps up with  Drew's POV , voicing his pearls of wisdom and what he has learned throughout the terrible debacle he and Kate suffered through. And it is his blunt honesty is what makes Drew such the funny, flawed, yet charismatic man we, the reader, love to read about.

Title: Tangled (Tangled, Book One)

Author: Emma Chase

Release Date: May 20, 2013

I've kissed hundreds of girls. No--make that thousands. I only really remember a handful of them. But this kiss? This is one I won't forget any time soon.She tastes...Jesus, I've never done drugs, but I imagine this is what that first snort of cocaine feels like, that first shot of heroine. Goddamn addictive.Our lips clash and move over one another, angry and wet.I can't stop touching her. My hands are everywhere: her face, her hair, down her back, grasping at her hips. Pulling her closer, desperate to feel more of her--wanting her to feel exactly what she's doing to me.Needing air, I rip my mouth from hers and attack her neck. I feast on her, like a starving man. And that's exactly what I am--ravenous--for her. I inhale as I lick, suck, and nibble my way from her jaw to her ear. She's whimpering incoherently, but I get the idea. The sound of her voice, wild and sexy makes me groan. And her scent. Sweet Christ, she smells like...flowers and sugar. Like one of those decorative confectionery roses on the top of a cake.Fucking delicious. 

This is my first Emma Chase novel--but certainly won't be my last.
Tangled is written from the hero's point of view. And Drew Evans is a feast to be devoured in one sitting. I loved and adored him. From the prologue, I was hooked. He was funny, sarcastic, sexy, and loved women. He was doomed at the beginning when he met and fell for Katherine. His story is hysterical laugh until you pee yourself silly. I want more of him. 

Now.

Thank god there is a book two in my future.

Now it's your turn to show me your sexy ~
