REVIEW: Twisted by Emma Chase


Summary


Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. In this heart-pounding follow-up to Tangled by New York Times bestseller Emma Chase, Kate reveals that there is trouble in paradise, when unexpected circumstances force her and Drew to "renegotiate" their relationship.

There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I’ve always been more of a looker. Cautious. A planner. That changed after I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself—and of me.

But not all love stories end happily ever after. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset? Join the club. Now I have to make a choice; the most important of my life. Drew already made hisin fact, he tried to decide for the both of us. But you know that’s just not my style. So I came back to Greenville, Ohio, alone. Well, sort of alone...

What I've come to realize is that old habits die hard, and sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead.

 Author Bio
 By day, Emma Chase is a devoted wife and mother of two who resides in a small, rural town in New Jersey. By night she is a keyboard crusader, toiling away the hours to bring her colorful characters and their endless antics to life. She has a long standing love/hate relationship with caffeine.

Emma is an avid reader. Before her children were born she was known to consume whole books in a single day. Writing has also always been a passion and with the 2013 release of her debut romantic comedy, Tangled, the ability to now call herself an author is nothing less than a dream come true.

Excerpt  
 “Would you fucking stop! Why are you being like this?”

I glare up at him. “Because you don’t even care! I’m really upset here - and you don’t give a shit!”

His eyes open wide, incredulous.

“Of course I give a shit - I’m the one getting Jimmy Choos thrown at my head like Chinese freaking stars!”

“If you care so much, why don’t you apologize?!”

“Because I didn’t fucking do anything! I have no problem crawling on my hands and knees when I screw up. But if you think I’m gonna beg because you’ve been possessed by the Hormone Demon - you’re out of your mind sweetheart.”



Erin's Review
 Twisted is told from Kate's pov and if you thought Drew was messed up? Hello Kate! In Tangled she appears this calm, cool, collected woman who Drew relentlessly pursues, in Twisted Kate is a mess.....thanks in part to Drew. I mean, come on, it isn't ALL his fault. The whole gang is back and Kate's ex Billy makes a big appearance, Drew couldn't have been happier. We get a glimpse in to Kate's past and realize that our cool as a cucumber heroine had a wild side.  Her bff Dee-Delores, is a trip. She is a balls to the wall, take no prisoners kind of gal. She had me roaring. We get a different side to Kate's ex that makes him very, don't tell Drew, likeable. He isn't the bad guy, he's the guy she left behind. 
 Drew, well, Drew messes up in typical Drew fashion and you hate him for it. This time he goes overboard. Waaaayyyyy overboard. I don't know how many times I wanted to reach through my Kindle and slap the shit out of him for doing what he did. Kate and Drew are like fire and ice. But in this case, I don't blame her for doing what she did. Like she said, sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead. 
 This book will bring you to tears more times than I could count, it did me anyway. It's a bit more emotional than Tangled but still has you laughing more than crying. And the ending?? LOVE IT!! Drew and Kate aren't perfect, but who is? Don't get discouraged about this book not being told from Drew's pov,  Kate tells it just as good, if not better than Drew does. And it's nice to get the girl's side just this one time. And Kate really needs her girls now more than ever. 
 If you loved Tangled, you are going to love Twisted and I cannot wait until Tamed and then we get more from Drew in Tied! 
 Emma Chase has shot up my list of favorite authors with these books. Loved them from the beginning to the end and I cannot wait for more.
