Review of Tangled (Tangled, #1) by Emma Chase
If I could give Tangled more than five f*****g stars, I would! This book had me grinning like a Cheshire cat from the first page to the last. Right when I thought I’d read all the enjoyable romances out there, along comes Emma Chase to turn my reading world upside down. Marked as a must-read well before its release, I can tell you that it completely lived up to the hype!
Let me start by saying that Drew Evans, our charmingly flawed protagonist, had me laughing out loud so many times I lost count. Told solely from his point of view, this book breaks the mold of typical romance narratives. Drew’s voice—sharp, witty, and hilariously honest—is a breath of fresh air. He’s not just a man-whore; he’s a genuinely funny guy trying to navigate the complications of love and relationships. And trust me, Drew’s narrative is just as disarmingly charming as he is a bit of an ass.
But while Drew is the quintessential book boyfriend, let’s talk about his counterpart, Kate Brooks. How she puts up with Drew’s antics is beyond me, but she brings an incredible balance to the story. The electric banter between them practically pops off the page. And really, does anything inspire more romantic tension than two work colleagues thrown together by circumstance? The dynamic Chase creates between them is palpable, making every chapter a delightful ride filled with emotional ups and downs.
Chase’s writing style shines through in the way she combines humor with tender moments. We dive deep into Drew’s mind, and it’s a wild yet relatable journey. The clever one-liners and quips captured my attention, and there are so many moments where I felt as if I could highlight something from every page. For instance, Drew’s reflections on the word “fine”—you’ve been there, right? A simple, seemingly benign word that carries so much weight in relationships. It’s these little nuggets and insights that keep the story rooted in reality while making it oh-so-entertaining.
One of my favorite passages is when Drew tries to rationalize his feelings, but of course, he just ends up tangled in his thoughts—much like the title suggests! Emma Chase pulls it off brilliantly, weaving humor, vulnerability, and heat into this narrative without resorting to overtly smutty language. It delivers all the chemistry and romance without sacrificing depth or authenticity.
If you love a romance that’s genuinely funny while also offering some sweet moments, you’ll absolutely adore Tangled. If you’re looking for a story that showcases the messiness of love with a humorous spin, you need to dive into these pages. Whether you’re a romance aficionado or just someone looking for a good laugh, Emma Chase has something special waiting for you in this book.
In conclusion, Tangled left me with a warm feeling—like the sun breaking through the clouds on a rainy day. To anyone ready to lose themselves in a witty and heartwarming journey of tangled relationships, pick this one up. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
