Tangled

by Emma Chase




First up, I can't state enough how much I find this book entertaining. I've been suspecting for a while that I become too jaded for this genre, that I wouldn't ever feel excited about any of it again. This book at least breaks the spell for me. It's pure one POV book, the hero's. That's quite rare enough, but the author went full out to try to make it not at all like a woman's holding the pen. I personally think she even went over the top because no guy could be such a pig, could he? I mean I, as a female, have my own imagination of what a cad would be like, but this hero is just too outrageously right on the money he is almost cartoonish. At least he is in a good kind of way, abated by a very smart, smooth and insightful delivery. The romance doesn't do anything much for me. The marathon love scenes are hot, but take too large portion of the pages to establish believability for the strong devotion of the characters. This is a new author I'll keep an eye on for sure. But with her nack of witty dialogues, I think she's capable of doing much better by establishing their relationship through them rather than the bed scenes.

3.5/5


Read it yourself.
