Publisher's summary

In New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase's sizzling and hilarious debut novel, Drew Evans - gorgeous, arrogant, irreverent, and irresistibly charming - meets his match in new colleague Kate Brooks.

Drew Evans is handsome and arrogant, he 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.

Katherine Brooks is brilliant, beautiful and ambitious. 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.

Tangled is not your mother's romance audiobook. It is an outrageous, passionate, witty narrative about a man who knows a lot about women…just not as much as he thinks. As he tells his story, Drew learns the one thing he never wanted in life, is the only thing he can’t live without.

Think Wallbanger meets Beautiful Bastard....

Amazing. A must-listen. This was fan freaking fantastic!! So refreshing, very entertaining and so much fun! This was the perfect blend of wit, humor, sarcasm, romance and all things sexy sexy sexy. Drew Evans is used to getting everything he wanted and enjoying life of a single good-looking bachelor. The story is told through his POV. I was actually fond of Drew's inner thoughts and even thought some of it was pretty hilarious too. Drew is a womanizer who is happy with his life. He doesn't want to have a relationship ever. Yep, he is a man-whore. Plus, he can be crude, crass, and vulgar. Regardless of all those delightful traits, you still can't help but fall for him in the end. Drew is an extra confident person so when out one night & he meets a woman he wants and cannot get, he is just not willing to accept it. What is even more unexpected for him is finding her the next day in his office being introduced as his new colleague. Actually, she is his competition. Kate was also awesome character. If you like strong heroines, you will LOVE Kate. She is smart, confident, sassy and absolutely determined not to become another notch on Drew’s bed post. She has plans, dreams, goals and no time for a playboy. She was able to keep up with Drew all the time, matched his determination, even outsmarted him at times. Their banter was just priceless! Tangled was essentially an enemies-to-lovers story about guy falling in love for the first time with a girl who goes toe-to-toe with him on everything. I loved watching them work through their issues. And when Drew finally decides to fight for Kate’s heart, the lengths to which he goes are just awesome! I must say this was one of the most enjoyable books for me this year. And that is saying something because I've finished a LOT! I really hope this author will write more books in future.




I wasn't expecting the book to have me laughing so much. It was hilarious! I still have a goofy smile on my face.

And Now For Something Completely Different

Since I usually give romance novels close to failing grades (except for Sandra Brown's Rainwater and Linda Winstead Jones' Raintree: Haunted) why would I give this one a 5 Star rating? The same rating as I would give The Beautiful Ruins, the Book Thief, the Book of Unholy Mischief? Well, that would be comparing apples and oranges so it isn't a fair comparison.

However, as a Romance novel, this one stands out far above all others!

The key difference is that the protagonist is male and he narrates the story to the reader/listener as if in casual conversation. And the dialogue is definitely male--locker room style, blunt, crude and perfect for the story. It is so on the mark, I have trouble realizing that it is written by a woman.

All the characters are colorful, entertaining and totally different than those found in ordinary romance stories.
Great find. I just can't figure out how the author will follow up on this one, much less top it but I'm ready to find out!

Brilliant!!!!

I'm really starting to wonder if I'm just so in love with the Narrator (Sebastian York) or this is going to be another fabulous series that he just happens to read???? Either way......absolutley brilliant writing and of course the narration brings it home!!!!

BUT WHY........ just put one book out at a time! I truly hate this!

I LOVED GETTING TANGLED UP IN THIS RIVETING STORY

If you're looking for something different from the 'usual' style of romance listen - then look no further.

This romantic/comedy is told as if the Hero is talking directly to you and totally from his point of view on sex, love, life and the unfortunate condition he now finds himself in (I'll say no more on that). Drew is a handsome, arrogant, rich, selfish, spoilt, never the same girl twice playboy who's happy with his life and his many many conquests….. that is until he locks eyes with Katherine she's beautiful, independent, confident, sassy but engaged. Then all the 'War of the Roses' type trouble starts when Katherine is hired as the new Associate in Drew's Father's Company and suddenly things don't go his way anymore.

This refreshing, well-written book had originality, loveable characters, good secondary characters, with hot sex, sarcastic witty banter, it was funny, had a lighthearted feel, great character development, romantic and was just a joy to listen to.

Worth a credit? Although he was a total man whore in the beginning, you can't help but love him as you get caught up in all his antics and you hope, after all he goes through, he finally gets his HEA ending and that made this a really enjoyable addictive listen and very creditworthy.

Nice Male POV

I like hearing the story from Drew's POV. Of course SY's narration skills are soooo nice. That sexy male voice just helps the story along. Since the story is from the male POV it is different and I enjoyed the change. I like the humor in this one but I do have to admit SY's voice is drool-worthy as usual. The sexy parts aren't too bad either. In all this is a very good listen.

I would LOVE to get Tangled up with Drew - So HOT!

Any additional comments?

I was hooked from the first line and smiling wide by the end of the first page. If you are a fan of enemies-to-lovers stories, you will LOVE Tangled! I swear half my book is highlighted. I laughed out loud, grinned till my cheeks ached and just generally loved it :)

The story is about Drew. In real life, Drew is a clean-shaven, well-groomed, expensive suit wearing professional. But, at the start of the story, he’s a miserable un-showered, un-shaven yeap locked in a messy apartment overflowing with old pizza boxes while claiming to have the flu. - Right.......What he really has is a bad case of the Break Up........ See Real Life Drew was once a player. Why settle for one when there were so many willing ones tripping over themselves to be with him.

But he’s fallen in love. Finally. Problem is, she’s getting married… to someone else. Hence the miserable, moping, un-shaved heap. This is his story....... It starts off going back in time to when they first met. Drew meets Kate at a club one night and, despite the flirting, she walks away. When Kate gets hired by his office, it puts him in a frustrating situation because office romances are on his no-no list.

We are told the story by Drew. He can be a bit of an asshat but you really just can’t help falling for him – he’s that lovable. He both narrates the events and breaks the 4th wall by talking directly to us as the reader. It’s totally awesome! This is such a Smart and fun listen that i find my mind keeps wondering back to it. It's one of those books you just can't forget... I can't wait for the next in this Sexy series. :)

If only there were more stars to give!

This has to be one of the best Romantic Comedies I have ever listened to. It is told completely from Drew's point of view... It was like you were just hanging out with him on the couch as he tells you his story. I laughed so hard ... one of those not so cute laughs with snorts and tears kind of funny. And Sebastian York was FABULOUS... totally believable. I just loved it! I just wish I had 5 more stars to add and give this book a perfect 10!

Horrible narcissism! Beware.

I rarely write full reviews, but I feel compelled to warn people about this book. Manipulation is not sexy. A strong woman does not put up with blatant stalking and sexual harassment because the man has lots of money.

I absolutely realize this is supposed to be a romance novel, but if the lead male character is what the author truly thinks is a stereotypical man, I feel sorry for her. If her goal was to make me hate this man, she succeeded. He never once learned from his behavior. He bullied and pressured the love interest into furthering a horrible relationship. Nothing about this book is sexy. Most men do not think or behave this way, and this behavior should not be just accepted.

I realize I sound like a sjw. I usually don't identify as a feminist, but this book sent me over the edge. I am more appalled at the disparaging portrayal of the "typical man" than I am at the weakness of the woman. I usually enjoy a light romance novel in between my sci-fi/mysteries, but this book just made me see red. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

AWESOME!!!

Written from the male point of view. Witty and clever dialogue, original, realistic, funny, endearing, sweet, very crude and everything else to make it AWESOME!!!! Best book on audible right now, in my humble opinion.
Sebastian York does an AWESOME job narrating as always. Totally makes it all work. Brilliant!!!
