Watching him turn from a “guy” to a “man” was a pretty enjoyable and hilarious experience, and, frankly, the whole book is pretty funny, especially the banter between Drew and Kate. Eventually, after the big screwup, Drew does become a reformed man and does the most prolonged and ridiculous grovel I have ever read in a romance novel, from a three-piece marching band to Tiffany jewelry. What saved it, though, was Kate and how absolutely wonderful she was, including how unwilling she was to put up with his crap. Honestly, while it’s funny, it’s also pretty awful, and even with the hint at the beginning that he was going to get his comeuppance, I was tempted to put it down. Besides sexually harassing Kate, he’s constantly trying to sabotage her work.
It’s somewhat watered down by the fact that it’s coming from his perspective, in a very honest and conversational style that directly addresses the reader. Beginning-of-the-book Drew is a slime ball, the kind of guy who’s not deterred that the latest object of his affections is engaged. Turns out, she’s the newest hire at his company, Kate, and he’s assigned to mentor her, which eventually turns into them competing for a lucrative new client. He’s happy with the way things are, until he meets a pretty brunette who turns him down. His Saturday nights, though, are dedicated to going out drinking with his friends and finding one (or more) willing women.
As he tells his story, Drew learns the one thing he never wanted in life, is the only thing he can’t live without.ĭrew Evans starts out as, well, a complete jerk, whose life revolves around his work as an investment banker and his family though. 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. Tangled is not your mother’s romance novel. 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? Then, just when Drew is on the cusp of having everything he wants, his overblown confidence threatens to ruin it all. The professional competition she brings is unnerving, his attraction to her is distracting, his failure to entice her into his bed is exasperating. 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. She refuses to let anything - or anyone - derail her path to success. Katherine Brooks is brilliant, beautiful and ambitious. So why has he been shuttered in his apartment for seven days, miserable and depressed? He has loyal friends and an indulgent family.
Handsome and arrogant, he makes multimillion dollar business deals and seduces New York’s most beautiful women with just a smile.
