Most definitely FF&SS!
Remember what I said in the latest Mimi Jean Pamfiloff book about FF&SS? You know, that Fast, Fun & Smart, Sexy are things not a lot of books have and that’s why I’m not pushing to have the acronym coined. Well, I’m so glad that there are and this book is one of them.
OMG it made me laugh so much, I couldn’t put it down and I couldn’t stop myself from marking up phrase after phrase or reference.
I have rarely read a book that’s told in its entirety from a male POV and I have to say this was a real treat. Being in Drew’s head was funny and refreshing. His insights in to all things male are diverse, hilarious and honest, they're also swoon worthy.
“Mackenzie is the perfect weapon. My very own baby borg. Resistance is futile.”
“I am a bad, bad boy. Think Kate will punish me if I tell her how bad I am?”
“I want to talk to you until the sun comes up, and I want to bring you cereal in bed every Sunday..."
Besides the way the book is written, having Drew also talk directly to us, the readers, was also something I really liked.
There are so many different and good things regarding this book about “the dashing playboy that meets the take-no-prisoners girl of his dreams, and she snags his heart forever” that I would probably end up transcribing it completely.
So thank you very much Emma, congratulations and may you gift us with many more.

Review to come
OH MY GOSH I FRIGGEN LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!
It deserves many, many, many more stars than 5!
I may need to go to the doctors in the morning for some pain meds, as my face is HURTING, SO SO BAD!!
I don't think I have ever , EVER laughed so hard during a book, I am in physical pain!
I'm also pretty sure I've never highlighted so much of one book before!!
PLEASE, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!
Ah-friggen-mazing!!!!
I don't even know where to start! The dynamic between these two is beyond beautiful, its enchanting, magical, PERFECT!
From start to finish the ONLY time I put this down was to wipe the tears of joy from my eyes, so I could properly see once again to read!
I would be putting almost half the book here to show my favourite quotes, so I have somehow managed to narrow them down.
"No, I haven’t fucked her. Not that I wouldn’t love to. Trust me, if she didn’t work for me, I’d hit that harder than Mohammed Ali."
"See that guy - black suit, devilishly handsome? Yeah, that guy getting the blow job from the luscious redhead in the bathroom stall? That's me. The real me. MBF: Me Before Flu."
I loved drew so hard!! I know I probably shouldn't have, but oh well ;)
"To the ladies out there - here's a fact for you: Men pretty much have sex on the brain twenty-four-seven. The exact figure is like every 5.3 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 the designer shoes you bought on sale, we're thinking how nice they would look on our shoulders."
"For many men, their car is equivalent to the perfect woman. We can build her to look exactly how we want, we can ride her hard and she won’t complain, and we can easily trade in when a newer, younger model comes along. It’s pretty much the ideal relationship."
I loved Kate just as much! She was exceptionally witty, and the perfect match for Drew in every sense of the word!
"You are driving me crazy!"
"Crazy? Like you want to rip my shirt open again?"
"No. Crazy like the itch of a yeast infection that just won't go away."
This right here describes the relationship perfectly;
"It makes me want to kiss her and strangle her at the same time. I’ve never been into S&M. But I’m beginning to see its benefits."
I LOVED this authors writing style! It's so fresh, it makes me want to jump up and down for the pure joy of it!
"You know on TV when there’s one of those awkward, shocking moments and all you hear are the crickets in the background?
Well chirp fucking chirp…this is one of those moments."
Tooth paste will never be the same!
"Weeks of want and frustration are coursing through me. I’ve brushed with Colgate for far too long – and it’s tasted like shit."
Can I just say I LOVED Mackenzie!!
"She talks like you. It’s not every day you hear a four-years old say Prince Charming is a douchebag who’s only holding Cinderella back."
The two scenes that had me in hysterical fits of uncontrolled laughter, both included this little ( no longer) princess.
"I don’t think Uncle Matthew can come Momma. He been too busy bein’ pussy whipped. Wha’s pussy whipped, Daddy?"
As soon as the the words leave her angelic little lips, a horrendous chain reaction is set off:
Matthew chokes on the black olive in his mouth, which flies out and nails Steven right in the eye.
Steven doubles over , holding his eye and yelling " I'm hit! I'm hit!" And then goes on about how the salt from the olive juice is eating away at his cornea.
My father starts coughing. George stands up and begins pounding on his back while asking no one in particular if he should perform the heimlich.
Estelle knocks over her glass of red wine, which quickly seeps into my mothers lace tablecloth. She makes no love to clean up the mess, but instead chants, "oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. "
I WAS IS TEARS!! I COULD NOT BREATH!! I WAS SNORTING VERY VERY UNATTRACTIVELY!!!
The second was the calculator scene, when the 'Bad word jar' went from $1 to $10 HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER RIGHT THERE!!
Tap-Tap-Tap!
Tap-Tap-Tap!
ONE of my favourites!
"Edward Cullen can take his stupid heroin and OD on it. Kate is my own personal brand of Viagra."
AGAIN, PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS!!

Okay so typically I love Emma Chase and most of what she writes. I honest to god hated Overruled so much. The story was so lost on me and I was so angry the whole time. But that was pretty much the only let down I really had.
This one was okay. I wasn't SUPER impressed by anything and Drew was kind of a douche and said douchey things, but that was kind of it. I felt like the whole book was running on fast forward but at the slowest speed where you can still see everything that's happening. It was like the SparkNotes version of what the story should have been.
Basically Drew is a playboy who sleeps with a different girl every time he goes out and he makes a point to say that he does NOT do repeats. Then he meets Kate, who is a bombshell that ends up being "the one that gets away". Until she's seated in an office with his father, being introduced as the newest addition to their team. Drew has a hands-off rule to anyone he works with, but Kate just might be the one that makes him break his own rule.
The two are pit against each other in an attempt to win over an account, but then must work with one another to get the job done. The problem with spending all this time together is that the two of them grow more comfortable with one another, but when Drew feels the panic of actually experiencing emotions... things blow up in his face.
I'mmmmmm just....... ugh. I don't like Drew. I also don't like that The Notebook was described as "so freaking gay" in this book. I've had this on my shelf for so long and finally picked it up and it was just like...meh. I wasn't happy or sad about it. I just didn't care too much. I saw all the great reviews and was honestly stoked to read another Emma Chase book and then I did and I kinda wish I left it alone.
I don't know man, I wish I could explain how this felt to read? Like it honestly read exactly how I feel a man's brain works... which I guess was the point after it having been told in Drew's POV alone. It was just kind of a let down that's all. It's not, not worth reading. But it's definitely not worth rereading to me. So this was fun, but I shall permanently shelve this and call it a day. I'll potentially revisit the series at some point.

I loved this book.
The chemistry between the two main characters was wonderful. I enjoyed the telling of the story in first person. Definitely could see this as a Netflix movie.

Tangled by Emma Chase is witty, funny, and joy of a read! The way Drew, the sarcastic Play-boy, transforms into the man in love with Kate feels real and has the reader entranced from page 1. I found myself laughing out loud several times (especially during the scene of Thanksgiving with the swear jar) and enjoying the witty mind the author has created for Drew. This book is a hilarious ride that all fans of adult contemporary romance would love because it delves into the mind of a man who learns what it means to love and how far he will go to get the woman he loves. I also like how Emma Chase plays a strong willed woman who does not fall for the charm that Drew tries multiple times. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys witty banter, adult contemporary romance novels.
I read this and liked it. Ordered the next one from the library and then had lost interest in reading it. Now I can't remember enough to write a review. So: 3 stars. It might have been 4 at the time I finished, but who knows?
1⭐️ This one was tough to finish. So heavy on the misogyny and trash women talk, that the MC was unlikeable. Drew is a walking red flag with a ridiculous ego and an over inflated sense of self. Tangled be gone.
Drew Evans is a man who can charm a woman quickly out of her pants, he is not looking for more than a few hours of pleasure. He lives by this rule, why could he possibly want more. That is until he meets Kate Brooks. Drew makes his play, rejected and although he can't forget the siren who peaked his interest he doesn't expect her to be his new co-worker. Drew has rules though about not getting involved with anyone at work, with Kate though he may have to make an exception. The bad boy is about to find himself in unchartered waters as he goes head to head with Kate. Will he make it out without losing his heart in the process?
am not sure why I put this one off for so long. Relished every moment of this. I was not sure how the story would unfold and it surprised me time and time again. Chemistry off the charts, banter pure entertainment. A must read.
