Publisher's Summary

How to protect your heart:
Let your bodyguard have it. 

Jane Cobalt is an American princess. The loyal and painfully curious 23-year-old has inherited immense pressure to preserve the Cobalt legacy. But for Jane, sex, love, and life have been a series of royal failures. 

After a friends-with-benefits ended in disaster, she's sworn to a "no sex" hiatus for, well, eternity - and she has no intention of letting anyone in her bed and definitely not her heart. 

Twenty-eight-year-old Thatcher Moretti is painfully professional. As the stern 24/7 bodyguard to Jane, thinking about unbridled sex with his sweet client is a sin. One that he keeps committing. 

But the real act is a hard line he'd never cross. 

When a family member betrays Jane's trust, the media becomes obsessed with matchmaking the perpetually "single" Jane Cobalt and unwanted attention suddenly compromises her safety. 

Thatcher would do anything to protect her, and one solution may level the threats: Become the fake boyfriend to an American princess. 

Entwined together with boiling chemistry, new "professional" parameters, and an oath, unsaid feelings threaten to rise and change everything.

Few of the secondary plotlines are frustrating

2.5 🌟 Stars
Review of the Kindle and Audible versions.

I almost DNF Tangled Like Us and that makes me Sad and Mad.

Sad because I've invested my time and money in the Like Us Series. I bought the Audible and Kindle version of Books 1, 2, 3 and 4. And I enjoyed and was entertained by the first 3 tales.

Mad because few of the secondary plotlines are beyond annoying and off putting.
❇ Tony's plotline is ridiculous and so over the top is frustrating .
❇ The leadership unbelievable reactions, manipulation and inability to see the obvious is a plotline that dumb the story out.
❇ Jane is written so meek. She accepts all what the leadership of the bodyguard say. She is the client . She is supposed to be an Alpha . But this plotline makes her pathetic and weak.

After having Maximoff and Farrow fighting to be together , the decision to portray Jane so indecisive and a pushover killed this book for me.

So, why , you might ask , did I continue reading/ listening to the 15 hours and 38 minutes that is Tangled Like Us after being so aggravated ?

Well, I might be a MASOCHIST .

But I am not .

I did like Thatcher and Jane as a couple and their sexy times were hot . I enjoyed that a lot.

As I said earlier, I have invested heavily in The Like Us Series but I don't know if I got what it takes to continue reading more of these storylines.

Book 5 is the continuation of Thatcher and Jane and Book 6 , I think is Farrow and Maximoff or maybe is Oscar and Jack's book. It's likely that I might skip 5 and read 6 and 7 ...we'll see.

As for Holy Warren and Stephen Dexter , their narration was the highlight of the entire book experience. And their portrayal of Jane and Thatcher gets a 5 stars rating.

Loved every minute!

I absolutely Love this book! I read the kindle version first and then listened to this audio of it and all I can say is wow! I felt the narrator's did an awesome job and just brought the characters more to life. I would highly recommend listening to this audio book!

5 Stars over and over!!

I don’t write many reviews - not because I don’t have an opinion about the book, but because I can never find the right words to describe the feeling I have after listening to a book like this. I may be a little biased because I’ve read every single book by Krista and Becca Ritchie and I’m obsessed with their writing style, but they deserve all the 5 star reviews in the world for continuing this series and giving their readers exactly what we were hoping for for Jane and Thatcher. This is my first listen by Holly Warren, but she did not disappoint! Also, if you’ve ever listened to anything by Stephen Dexter, you know exactly how brilliant he is and he will make you will feel EVERY. SINGLE. EMOTION!! If you’re still interested in this story, I suggest you go back and start with, “Addicted to You” and go through the entire series before listening to this. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

Fake Boyfriend Trope!! Love it!

This was the 4th book in the Like Us series. I loved the first three: MM and OTT (in a way that really worked for me).

This one continued the theme of the celebrity family and their bodyguards, but it focused on an MF couple: Jane and Thatcher. The next book will continue their story and then we’ll get Maximoff and Farrow back. If you only read MF and try this as a standalone you will be very confused. On the other hand, if you read MM and read the first three books, Moffy and Farrow play prominent roles in here and you get to see the changing dynamic of the Tri-Force teams and new threats the have to deal with.

The sex was pretty hot even if it was MF 😂😂. And of course, the internal monologues are all very emotional and OTT in the style of the first three books. One thing that I loved about this was that Jane isn’t your stereotypical heroine. She doesn’t have a perfect body, she is chubby, small breasted, has frizzy hair, stretch marks, questionable fashion sense, but she is so strong and incredibly intelligent that she blows regular people out of the water! And kudos to Thatcher for seeing her as absolute perfection!

I listened to this one and the narration was fantastic—especially the narrator for Thatcher. Too bad he doesn’t narrate MM books. Since I listened to the first three in the series, it threw me hearing Jane being narrated by a woman, since I wasn’t used to her voice like that. I got used to it after a while, but still missed the original narrators for the series.

So, all in all my venture into girly parts in my romances wasn’t too traumatic!!

❤️❤️❤️Loved it❤️❤️❤️

Jane and Thatcher’s story is amazing! She is able to understand him like no one else does and it’s beautiful ❤️

Every Girls Fantasy.

I truly loved this entire series. Tangled like us captured every girls anxiety about finding true love regardless of their status. A great perspective on love from both side. This is keeper.

Again, WOW!...

I was REALLY hoping this 4th "Like Us" book was going to be another, or even LAST book about Maximoff&Farrow(marriage, kids, the works)... So, of course I was disappointed... At FIRST.... And THEN... I got freaking HOOKED on this 1! And on these 2!! So beautiful... And at the END of THIS BOOK... I was AGAIN, of course, go figure, sad to not have a 2ND BOOK about Thatcher&Jane...
So yeah, for the first time I am allll caught up in allll these series! And I've read THOUSAND of books and sequels, and series... I am most DEFINITELY-ADDICTED to these families, these people, every single one of them! A-Freaking-Mazing!

Mixed feelings but generally a pleasant read

Not sure if this romantic resolution was abrupt because it will take more books to finish, but it was abrupt. In general, enjoyable, but I still feel like Jane is directionless and her beau is professionally & personally at risk for failure & loss, so it’s not feeling resolved to me.

Jane needs to learn the difference between having her own secret & keeping someone else’s secret. Just because she found out a secret doesn’t mean Maximoff needs to know too - when it is not HER secret. That section was irksome.

Steam: M/F with a few explicit but basic scenes that moved mostly off page toward the end.

this book was sooo good.

This was a great read. It kept you interested all the way thru. You could feel the conflict and emotions from both Jane & Thatcher. So if you like sexy times, yummy men, and love. Then you just have to give this book a try. The chemistry between Jane and Thatcher is so hot it could burn like an out of control wildfire. I can't wait for the next book Sinful Like Us. Because I have had the pleasure of reading that book and I just can't wait for the audio version.

me personally I would have punched Tony; but Thatcher is a far better person than me.

ONG OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE

THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL AND I LOVE THE NARRATERS THE PICKED IF U LIKED THE FIRST THREE BOOK U WILL LOVE THIS ONE

Amazing

Such a good story and well preformed by holly and Stephen they really brought thatcher and Jane to life can wait for the next one

Boring

The narrators were fine, but man... I really didn't enjoy this one... The previous books in the series were good but this one was just so uninteresting.

really bad

just a dreadful book. I didn't like a single thing about this book or this author. 3rd book was the worst.

Great acting, poor story

This is part of a series and whilst I understood it as a standalone, having not read any of the others in the series, I felt like I was missing something, particularly in regard to some previous event which was never explained.

I thought the actors were fantastic and can’t fault the performances. To be honest the story left a lot to be desired though. For starters, if you removed all the family shenanigans and the mc reacting to them, then you would probably only be left with a couple of chapters worth of an actual love story. Also, after listening to hours of audio, the ending was totally anticlimactic and all we got was 6 minutes of Thatcher and Jane as a ‘real’ couple after the fake relationship ends.

I hated the actors describing themselves in their thoughts - I held her in my strong arms - it doesn’t work in first person. Apart from a couple, I didn’t like anyone else in the story either. Immature or spoilt or idiots!

Perhaps I lost something by jumping in on the fourth book of the series but I will not be exploring anymore by the authors. I will be looking out for other performances of the actors though!

terrible narration

I understand why but the female narrator is awful.. I'm sending the book back..
