Synopsis from Goodreads
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.

You guys! This book is a riot! It was just the right kind of pick-me-up that I desperately needed to get me out of the dreaded reading slump. And did it ever? I swear I had this stupid grin plastered on my face reading Tangled because Drew was the perfect mix of masculine, obnoxious, adorable, and totally hilarious.



So ladies, without further ado, let me introduce you to Drew Evans, your guide and narrator to male psyche, and Tangled of course. Let’s get some things straight. Drew thinks he is God’s gift to women. Yes! He is a womaniser and is arrogant enough to drive you mad, but he is also a successful investment banker, with money and looks, and he is actually good at what he does. Now, stop! I know, what you are thinking, but trust me and give Drew a chance. Because Drew is about to meet his one and only, and get totally adorable. Admit it, you knew this was coming, right?

Enter, Kate Brooks, who is Drew’s new co-worker (aka off limits) not to mention she is engaged to another man. Now, are you picturing this setup? Yes? Good, because that’s all I’m going to tell you. You’ll just have to read this one for yourself. Let me just say, despite Drew’s obvious downfalls I couldn’t help but love him and I’m sure you would too!

Emma Chase delivers a fun, entertaining romantic comedy from the refreshingly male point of view. Full of brilliant one-liners and great character chemistry it is one of those books that if it ever were a movie, it would have had its well-earned place along my cherished chick-flick collection (because sometimes you just need that type of pick-me-up). Recommended.

Я случайно наткнулась на роман Все Запутано от Эммы Чейз и очень тому рада, потому что получила огромное удовольствие от прочтения. У меня улыбка, наверное, прямо не сходила с губ все время, пока я читала, потому что Дрю Эванс полон очарования, и его манера повествования была не только забавной и ненавязчивой, но местами даже и поучительной.

Так что, дорогие мои дамы, позвольте познакомить вас с Дрю Эвансом. Он и есть наш повествователь и гид к мужской психике. Давайте сразу расставим все точки над i; Дрю считает себя буквально Божьим даром для женщин. Да! Он абсолютный бабник и достаточно высокомерен, но он также успешный инвестиционный банкир и действительно хорош в своем деле. И с его внешностью и деньгами, девушки прямо сами падают в его объятия. Теперь, стоп! Я знаю, что вы думаете, но поверьте мне и дайте Дрю шанс, потому что он только что встретил ее, ту самую единственную и неповторимую. И Дрю совсем не знает как себя вести в такой ситуации, что очень мило. Вы наверное и сами уже догадались что к этому все и шло, не так ли?

Так вот, новая сотрудница Дрю - Кэтрин Брукс, она как и полагается: спортсменка, комсомолка, и конечно же просто красавица. Но тут одно препятствие, она уже несколько лет помолвлена с другим. Представили, да? А дальше... я промолчу и просто посоветую прочитать и насладиться самим.

Эмма Чейз поразила меня этой легкой, романтической комедией, написанной с точки зрения мужчины, со всеми оттуда вытекающими остротами. И поверьте мне, несмотря на все его недостатки, я была абсолютно очарована Дрю, и я уверена что вы тоже не сможете устоять! Читать.
