I am excited to share with you a brand new book by a new author that I was asked to review. On January 14th, Gallery Books released for the first time, in print, TANGLED by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase. This sizzling and hilarious debut novel features Drew Evans—a gorgeous, arrogant, irreverent, and irresistibly charming businessman—as he meets his match in new colleague Kate Brooks.

Snyopsis: Drew Evans 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.
When Katherine Brooks 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.
How can one woman turn a smooth-talking player into a broken, desperate man? By making the one thing he never wanted in life the only thing he can’t live without.
My Thoughts: This book is unique in one very important way. It is written entirely from the male character’s point of view and it is funny. At first I could not get into this book. I had just read a book with a very very similar plot and I kept thinking about that. But once I got past the first 2 chapters, it really picked up for me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story that comes from Drew’s brain.
Emma Chase made Drew a cocky, strong willed, head strong man with a mouth that won’t quit. He is witty; sometimes pathetic; has a bit of a potty mouth and thinks he is God’s gift to women – until he meets the right woman. Then all bets are off. Kate, the one that makes his poor heart pitter patter, is a perfect match for him with her strong will and determination to get ahead. She is a brainiac and gives Drew a run for his money – literally.
The storyline is a traditional office romance type of novel with lots of steamy scenes. But what really makes this book unique and over the top is the awesome writing talent the author has and her ability to take this story to new heights with wit, humor and a peek into the male psyche.
Tangled is a funny read that will keep those pages turning and the memory of this book in your mind long after you have finished. Emma Chase is an author you will want to watch for more to come.
