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 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.

TAMED goes back in time to the Tangled days. But this time around, it’s not Drew dishing out the advice and opinions—it’s his best friend Matthew, who of course is dealing with Dee Dee.


 
My Review
 
 
As a fan of the Tangled series, I was pretty darn getting to read Tamed. If you've read the series, you know that Matthew and Dee definitely get their happy ending. So why would I want to read a book when I already know the end? Because this is Matthew and Dee, okay! These two are crazy sexy, crazy funny and fall crazy in love. The beauty of Tamed isn't the destination, it's the journey.
 
I adored Tamed for a few reasons. Obviously the characters were a big bonus. Women don't come much more hilarious, ballsy, and smart than Dee. Matthew is great too, though he and Drew have pretty much cornered the market on cocky. We get more of Mackenzie, Steven and The Bitch. Tamed runs parallel to Tangled, so we do see glimpses of Drew and Kate's tumultuous early days, through Matthew's eyes.
 
I also have to note that I still appreciate Emma Chase's style. As with the other books in the series, the fourth wall is down, with Matthew speaking directly to the reader. The humor that I've loved in the previous books is still in full-swing. I started Tamed on a plane at 1:00am (a nightmare!) and probably drew dirty looks from sleeping passengers because I was laughing so, so hard.
 
If I had any issues with Tamed, I would have to say they're minor. The lack of suspense in Matthew and Dee's relationship probably took the pure joy down a notch, but I knew that going on. I also knew that Matthew would probably be every bit as cocky as Drew (he was), which did have me thinking "I get it! You're funny and awesome and handsome and a wicked good lover." These are minor issues on my part, and I still wouldn't hesitate one second in recommending Tamed.
 
Tamed was a quick and easy read that had me laughing, loving the sexy, and honestly touched by the connection between Matthew and Dee. Fans of Tamed will definitely want to scoop this one up!
 
 
 
Favorite Quotes
 
 
  "That's my favorite."
  I look at the screen. "That's the periodic table."
  She shrugs. "To me, it's a masterpiece. Harmonious. Perfectly organized. Dependable."
  "Aren't some of the elements unstable?"
  She smiles. "Sure, but the table tells you which ones they are. No surprises. No disappointments."
  And this right here is the perfect example of who Delores is. Safety-goggle-wearing chemist by day, glitter-covered club girl by night. She wants excitement, spontaneity, but a part of her-the part that's been dicked around by one too many pricks in the past-craves reliability. Honesty. Truth.
  I want to give her both. I want to be her roller coaster and her merry-go-round, her adventurer and her protector. Her impressionist and her periodic table.
 
 
  Life is a short, wild ride. Don't try to put the brakes on, don't overanalyze or try to control it. If you're lucky, like I was, you'll find that perfect someone who'll sit next to you and hold your hand through every curve, every up and down.
  And that? Just makes it even more fun.

My Teaser ~


  This is a story about a player, who meets a slightly crazy girl. They fall in love and the player changes his ways forever. It's a story you've probably heard before, maybe even from my buddy, Drew Evans. But the thing is, while he and Kate were figuring their shit out? There was this whole alternate universe going on with Delores and me that you don't know about. So stick around, even if you think you already know the ending. Because the greatest part of a road trip isn't arriving at your destination. It's all the wild stuff that happens along the way.
 
 
 
 
I adored Tamed! My review posts on Friday.

COVER REVEAL: TIED (TANGLED #4) BY EMMA CHASE

It's time to reveal another book in the Tangled series! I don't know about y'all, but I can't wait for Tied. Check it out, and be sure to let me know what you think.
 
 



 
Series: Tangled #4
Publisher: Gallery Books
Publication Date: 10/7/14

In the fourth sexy romance by the New York Times bestselling author of Tangled and Twisted, Drew and Kate can’t wait to tie the knot—if they can survive the pre-wedding festivities.

For most of my life, I never imagined I’d get married. But Kate did the impossible: she changed me. I think we can all agree I was pretty frigging awesome before, but now I’m even better. The road to this day wasn’t all rainbows and boners. There were mistakes and misunderstandings worthy of a Greek tragedy. But Kate and I made it through with our inexhaustible lust, boundless admiration, and everlasting love for one another intact.

That being said, there were some unexpected incidents in Vegas last weekend that could have been a problem. It was kind of…my final test.

I know what you’re thinking—what the hell did you do this time? Relax. Let’s not judge, or call for my castration, until you’ve heard the whole story.

And hold on tight, because you’re in for a wild ride. Did you expect anything less?

BLOG TOUR: TWISTED by EMMA CHASE



Welcome to my stop on the Twisted Blog Tour! My post includes a review and excerpt. Thanks for stopping by!  


Twisted (Tangled, #2)Series: Tangled #2
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Gallery Books
Publication Date: 3/25/14
Format: eARC

Pages: 272
Source: Publisher
Rating: 4 stars



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.

TWISTED picks up two years after Tangled’s end, and is told from Kate’s POV.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17977710-twisted?from_search=true


  
I am writing this review from my local hospital's stress unit.

Seriously. I think I've had an aneurysm, or a bit of a mental break. I do know that I had several heart attacks while reading Twisted.

Why? Where do I start.

First of all, let me say that I adore this book and series tremendously. Few men can pull off asshole and adorable like Drew Evans. Few women can stand as every bit of Drew's equal like Kate Brooks. The series is flat-out hilarious, with an excellent dose of filthy deeds and dirty talk thrown in.

But the reason I am so freaking stressed over Twisted is: I'm not sure when a book last affected me in every way like this one has. To review Twisted based on the plot is going to be really hard; we're talking about Spoiler City here with everything beyond the 20% mark. EVERYTHING. The signs were coming from the beginning, I quickly caught on to what was about to happen which is no mental feat really, Kate was strongly laying on the hints. So with my hands tied as far as plot goes, I will focus elsewhere.

I loved Drew as a narrator in Tangled. I worried about reading this through Kate's point of view because how can she compare to they lovable ass? But Kate was great. Chase used the same narrative style with Kate. She speaks directly to the reader, the fourth wall is down. Some might find her voice to be too similar to Drew's, but I choose to think that they are similar people and that it fits.

Twisted had some fantastically hilarious moments. It wasn't as funny throughout as Tangled, it honestly was a much more serious and sometimes soul-destroying story. But the funny moments? They delivered so hard that at one point I laughed so hard I cried and forced my husband to stop what he was doing until I finished cackle-snorting. You put Drew, Dee, The Bitch, Matthew and Mackenzie in a room together and it's bound to happen.

I know I keep eluding to Things about Twisted that threatened to crush my heart. I believe at one point I told my husband that I would be right back, that I was going outside to put my kindle in the driveway and run it over approximately fifteen times. Then I was going to use two hammers to bust my iPhone because Twisted was loaded there too. And then I was going to break his iPad just for being in the same room. At that point he cowered in his chair then quickly left the room.

I know what I just said might seem like a deterrent, but I swear it's not. You just need to be PREPARED to read Twisted. I suggest liquor- strong- and removal of any sharp objects within reach.

For all my epic whinging about Twisted and the emotional trauma I faced, I want to say that bless her heart, Emma Chase made this book work. The direction the story took was extremely frustrating, but brave. And honestly, anyone who can create characters I care so much about and inspire the amount of emotions I felt is an author I will always read and whole-heartedly recommend.

My one criticism of Twisted is that I do struggle when miscommunication or a complete lack thereof drives the plot. Nooooo, I can't explain why because of spoilers, and perhaps it's just a personal issue. But it's frustrating for me when one clear conversation can fix everything, and no one has it. But I also acknowledge that without that, we wouldn't have a story that brought out all the feelings.

About the ending. It was perfect, perfect, perfect. I was thrilled with how Twisted wrapped up. It had me smiling, laughing, signing and crying (happy tears!) into my pillow.

So I say: if you loved Tangled, you will likely feel much the same about Twisted. The stories are significantly different with this one having much darker moments. But it also holds the same funny and sexy tone at moments, and in the end I'm a happy reader.

Just hide the knives is all I'm saying.



Favorite Quotes: (It was so hard to find spoiler-free quotes)


  But what's the point of all this, you ask? Why am I sharing it with you>
  Because good sex? Really, really good sex?
  Doesn't need alcohol. And it's not about compatibility, or practice, or even being in love.
  It's about trust.
  Letting your guard down. Putting yourself in another person's hands and letting him lead you to places you've never been before.
  And I trusted Drew. With my mind, my heart, my body. I trusted Drew with everything.


  "And you know what they say--the best way to get over someone is to get on top of someone else."
  "Nobody says that, Drew."
  "Well, they should."




EXCERPT


I close my eyes and let his words wash over me. Drew has an amazing voice. Calm and soothing - but devilishly seductive at the same time.  He totally could’ve gone into radio. 
I press another button.

And this time his tone is teasing.“Kaate, you’re late. Tell Delores to pick out her own god damn shoes. You’ve got a boyfriend who's sitting in a big, frothy Jacuzzi all by his lonesome. Come home, sweetheart. I’m here waiting for you.”

If only that was true today.

There’s more - some are quick and to the point, some are downright dirty.  And I listen to every single one.  He doesn’t say ‘I love you’ in any of them - but he doesn’t have to.  I hear it in every word. Every time he says my name.

  "What are we doing in here?"
  Drew smiles innocently. "Talking about paint colors."
  Alexandra smiles and strokes her daughter's hair.
  As Mackenzie adds, "And sex."

BLOG TOUR: HOLY FRIGGING MATRIMONY by EMMA CHASE ~ REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

Holy Frigging Matrimony Banner
 
 
Welcome to the Holy Frigging Matrimony Blog Tour! My stop includes a review and (great!) giveaway.


Holy Frigging Matrimony - A Tangled Series Short Story (Tangled, #1.5)Series: #1.5
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: 12/5/13
Format: eARC
Source: Publicist
Rating: 4 stars


What does Drew Evans have to say next? Find out in this forty page short story, filled with his sexy charm, unique advice and hilarious one-liners.

Marriage: the final frontier. Steven went first. He was kind of our test subject. Like those monkeys that NASA sent off into space in the fifties, all the while knowing they’d never make it back.

And now another poor rocket is ready to launch.

But this isn’t just any posh New York wedding. You’ve seen my friends, you’ve met our families, you know you're in for a treat. Everyone wants their wedding to be memorable. This one’s going to be un-frigging-forgettable.

Holy Frigging Matrimony takes place about a year after Tangled’s end and is from Drew’s POV.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18282724-holy-frigging-matrimony---a-tangled-series-short-story?from_search=true
 

First of all, I really need to thank my friend Cindy for alerting me to the Holy Frigging Matrimony blog tour, and declaring our friendship weighed on whether I signed up. She is also the person responsible for my reading Tangled in the first place. The best kind of bully is a book bully.

Second, I'm so freaking glad I had the opportunity to read Holy Frigging Matrimony early. Really glad. I almost always love reading from a dude's point-of-view. I cannot think of any dude's point-of-view who is more fun to read than Drew's. Emma Chase has an immense talent.

Holy Frigging Matrimony is such a short and fun read. But it would honestly be easy for me to write a long review about it, specifically about how much I love Drew and Kate. I would like to point out that Holy Frigging Matrimony is a short story. Not a novel. Not a novella. A short story. More accurately, approximately forty pages of pure sexy, funny awesomeness. I can also say that I was very surprised, pleasantly so, by the direction of the story.

If you loved Tangled, you will not want to miss this quickie from Drew. Holy Frigging Matrimony is definitely worth a read.

Favorite Quotes:

  I run my fingers through her hair. "I like you sweaty. You should stay like this."
  Her nose wrinkles. "I smell."
  I press my face against her neck and inhale dramatically. "You smell like sweat and sex...and me. It's hot. Eau de Cum kicks Chanel Number Five's ass."   ~eARC, 28%


  My brow furrows in mock confusion. "I'm sorry--I don't speak vagina. Just what the hell is that supposed to mean?"   ~eARC, 46%

Tangled (Tangled, #1)Series: Tangled #1
Category/Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Omnific
Publication Date: 5/20/13
Format: Kindle
Pages: 254
Source: Purchase

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.
 

Let me just go ahead and warn you, this will be a completely ridiculous and fun (for me) review. I'm kind of a ridiculous person anyway, and this book just brought it out in me even more. I don't do "scholarly" reviews, but I'm guessing you've already figured this out, amirite? I write  FEELINGS reviews, and Tangled gave me a lot of FEELINGS.
 
My feelings for Tangled include, but are not limited to: happiness, pure joy, lust, shock, awe, lust,  outrage, pity, lust, enlightenment....
 
Speaking of enlightenment, Tangled taught me a lot. The story has a unique narrative. The fourth wall is down, and Drew is directly speaking to the reader, making asides as he tells the story of falling in and earning love. I mentioned to some friends that Tangled made me feel powerful, like I had been given a handbook to the male mind. I really like men. I like to know how the really think and feel. I have a guy sense of humor, so any book that gives me that is a treat. So back to enlightenment, Tangled offered some nice gems. Such as:
 
  • Men really do think about sex as much as you thought  hoped they do. That's right, I said hoped. I've been with the same man since 1997, sixteen years, and after all this time, this is reassuring and hilarious to me. This knowledge makes me feel powerful.
 
"Men pretty much have sex on the brain twenty-four-seven. The exact figure is like every 5.2 seconds or some shit like that.
  The point is, when you ask, 'What do you want for dinner?' we're thinking about screwing you on the kitchen counter. When you're telling us about the sappy film you watched with your girlfriends last week, we're thinking about the porno we saw on cable last night. When you show us designer shoes you bought on sale, we're thinking how nice they would look on our shoulders.
  I just thought you'd want to know. Don't shoot the messenger.
  It's a curse, really." 
 
  • Older sisters are the best. Drew's older sister Alexandra was hilarious and scary, maybe my favorite character in the book. Alexandra will rage on Drew and call him out for his stupid man ways. Her husband, Drew, and their friends don't dare cross Alex, but they love her fiercely. She will be the first to call Drew out for being an idiot, but also the first to have his back. Did I mention her title?
"On no.
  It's The Bitch. Otherwise know as my sister, Alexandra.
  When I say the word bitch I mean it in the most affectionate way possible, I swear. But it's what she is. Demanding, opinionated, relentless."
 
  • Ladies, men are on to us. Yep, they know that we talk about them, in and out of the bedroom. When I read this, I immediately asked my husband if this is true. I mean, I talk about him with my BFF to his face, but I was curious if all men knew this. Apparently, they're not as oblivious about some things as we'd thought.
"--I've heard my sister and her little friends have their chats too. Some of the things that came out of their mouths could've made Larry fcking Flynt blush. So don't act like women don't talk just as much as us guys do..."
 
  • Men love your body and they want you to love it too. They want to see you, and they want you to embrace being seen. When you are comfortable in your skin, there is nothing sexier to a  man. I already knew this, but it's nice to have it reaffirmed. It is an amazing and powerful thought.
  "Now, I know some women have some issues with their bodies. Maybe you've got a little extra junk in the trunk? Get over it. Doesn't matter. Naked kicks Modest's ass every single time. Men are visual. We wouldn't be fcking you if we didn't want to look at you."

  • Smart men have a healthy and respectful fear of women.
"You ever watch Animal Planet? Women are kind of like a herd of elephants. They stick together for protection. And if one senses danger? They all stampede."

  • Smart men also know who really holds the power.
  "Johnny Fitzgerald's an idiot. Vaginas beat penises every time. They're like kryptonite. Penises are defenseless against them."

  • Any man, even the most revered of bachelors, is capable of falling in love. That's not to say that any woman will do-- only the right one. But when he does finally fall, he falls hard. Forever.
  "She's all I think about. She's everything I never thought I wanted. She's not just perfect--she's perfect for me.
  I'd do anything for her.
  Anything.
  I want her near me, with me. All the time.
  Forever."

  • Men screw up sometimes. They do. It's inevitable, and besides the point. What's important is that when he does make a huge jackass of himself, the man that is worth your love will do anything to prove his love and make things right.
Drew's determination to earn Kate's trust and love was at the heart of Tangled. It's Drew's journey from a "guy" to a "man".
  "...sometimes a guy can't become a man until he's met the right woman."

So you see, reading can be fun and informative. Use this knowledge!

Tangled was such a great experience for me. I started chuckling on the first page, and the story only got better and better from there. Drew was a hot mess. Sexy. Intelligent. Arrogant. Ridiculous. Honest. It was an absolute joy to watch this man fall in love. Kate was amazing, too. She was also intelligent, but also sexy, strong, willful. She stood toe-to-toe with Drew each step of the way. He didn't seduce her against her will, she chose him. And that, to me, is the sexiest part of their relationship. The entire story had me hooked, and wow, was that climax (literal and figurative) EPIC.

Just like the characters themselves, Tangled was Sexy, Intelligent, Charming, and Witty. I cannot wait for more of Drew and Kate, and author Emma Chase.
