Sinopsis :

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.

Review:

“If a guy who you just met at a club calls you baby, sweetheart, angel, or any other generic endearment? Don’t make the mistake of thinking he’s so into you, he’s already thinking up pet names. It’s because he can’t or doesn’t care to remember your actual name.”

I like Drew’s slapping statement like that, waks. In fact, many girls feel special when someone called her like that. Hahaha. Drew Evans is hot, self-centered, spoiled, handsome, rich, and seducer. Have an extreme sex-life. No one can reject him. No one! Just in a single smile, he can make every girl feels special and fallin’ down into his big-asshole. In one week, he can fuck with ten different girls. It’s a normal life for him. In a Saturday night. When his “normal life” goes. After “blow job” by the luscious redhead. In a hottest club at New York City. He met someone who can get his attention. He wants her right away. Her hair is long and dark and shines even in the dim light of the club. She’s wearing a red backless dress—sexy but classy—that accentuates every perfectly toned curve. Her mouth is full and lush, with lips begging to be ravished. And her eyes. Sweet fucking Christ. Her eyes are large and round and endlessly dark. Katherine—Kate Brooks is an intelligent and ambition. Have a new Job on John Evans’ firm—Drew’s Father. Already engaged with Billy Warren. And holy-crap-fuck-damn-it she is the girl in a club who Drew wants into her. But he have rules—standards, you might say. One of them is no screwing around at the office. He don’t shit where he eats, He don’t fuck where he works. It’s unprofessional—according to him. But how about Kate Brooks? HE WANTS HER! How about the rules? */eyebrows/*

"The thing women don’t understand is that a guy can want one woman and still fuck another one. Hell, a guy could love a woman and still fuck ten others. It’s just the way it is."

...

Maybe you’ll understand my point of view if I put it this way. You brush your teeth, right? Well, suppose your favorite toothpaste is Aquafresh. But the store is out. All they have is Colgate. What are you going to do? You’re going to use the Colgate, right? You may want to brush with Aquafresh, but when all is said and done, you use what you have to keep those pearly whites clean. See my way of thinking? Good.

Then, what if “WANT” as time goes turn into “LOVE”?

“Love makes you do some stupid shit.”

Entah kenapa saya begitu menikmati membaca yang satu ini. Ah, Drew Evans is a craving men. FALLING-DEEP-DOWN-IN-LOVE WITH DREW! Cara penulisannya juga yang witty membuat saya ingin melanjutkannya membaca sampai selesai. Dan saya benar-benar jatuh cinta pada karakter Drew. Nggak cuma itu, saya juga menyukai dengan karakter Kate. Keduanya terasa sangat pas. Drew yang self-centered dan embel-embelnya. Kate yang ambisius dengan embel-embelnya.

Women fall in love quicker than men. Easier and more often. But when guys fall? We go down harder. And when things go bad? When it’s not us who ends it? We don’t get to walk away.

5/5 Stars :D
