REVIEW: Tamed (Tangled #3) by Emma Chase




 
Synopsis
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: girl meets player, they fall in love, player changes his ways.

It’s a good story. But it’s not our story. Ours is a lot more colorful.

When I met Dee I knew right away that she was special. When she met me, she thought I was anything but special—I was exactly like every other guy who’d screwed her over and let her down. It took some time to convince her otherwise, but turns out I can make a convincing argument when sex is at stake.

You might know where this story’s headed. But the best part isn't where we ended up.

It’s how we got there.


TAMED goes back in time to the Tangled days. But this time around, it’s not Drew dishing out the advice and opinions—it’s his best friend Matthew, who of course is dealing with Dee Dee.

Excerpt 
 
She puts on the helmet, but doesn’t climb on the Ducati right away. She stands on the sidewalk, hands on her hips, looking thoughtfully at it. “What would you say if I said I wanted to drive your motorcycle to the party?”
“I’d say you’re shit out of luck. I don’t ride bitch.”
She knocks me upside the head—but my helmet softens the blow. “Then let me take it for a ride myself. Just around the block.”
“I . . .don’t think so.”
She pouts.
I sigh. “Have you ever driven a motorcycle before?”
“No, but I’ve always wanted to.”
“Well, I’ve always wanted to fly, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna strap on a squirrel suit and skydive from the god damn Empire State Building.”
She steps closer, and rubs her placating hands up my chest. “Come on, please? I’ll be really careful and grateful. Really grateful. Like . . .deviantly, let you handcuff me to the bed, kind of grateful.”
Forget the national broadcast system—this is the test. Am I going to stick to my man-guns, keep my pride, and protect my cherished vehicle from almost certain carnage? Or, am I going to be ruled by my dick and swayed by the promise of kinky, have-Dee-at-my-mercy-all-night-long, sex?
No contest.
“Riding bitch, it is.”

Erin's Review 
I freaking love this series! Matthew and Dee's story takes place among the angst that was Drew and Kate, we just didn't get to see much of the action. Well, there's plenty of it in this book! We got a little bit of a behind the scenes look as well, remember Drew locking himself in his apartment for days? We find out just how The Bitch came to intervene. 
 Both Dee and Matthew are cut from the same cloth. Hit it and quit it is their motto. Dee gives Matthew a run for his money and neither are afraid to call the other one out on their shit. It's what made me love them actually. Matthew proves that he's just as much of a smooth talker as Drew, sometimes more. I can easily see why they are friends. 
 I would like to say Matthew and Dee's story is sweet but Dee would kick my ass. It's hot, steamy and romantic-see, not sweet :) It's the perfect companion to Drew and Kate's stories and I always wanted to know more about the guys that always have Drew's back. Let's not forget his leading lady. She's snarky, feisty and a ball of sexual tension Matthew just can't wait to unwind. 
 This book is perfect to get you out of any slump you may have found yourself in. It's funny, it's sexy and I couldn't put it down. Now the story I want to see is Steven and Alexandra's. I'm curious how she keeps him in line. I'm thinking whips and floggers and some sexy lingerie. 
 I'm a sucker for books that show you how the character's got their HEA, and this one was perfect. I love these characters and I love the series. Can't wait for Tied and I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Matt and Dee.

REVIEW: SWEET FILTHY BOY BY CHRISTINA LAUREN



 Summary
One-night stands are supposed to be with someone convenient, or wickedly persuasive, or regrettable. They aren’t supposed to be with someone like him.

But after a crazy Vegas weekend celebrating her college graduation—and terrified of the future path she knows is a cop-out—Mia Holland makes the wildest decision of her life: follow Ansel Guillaume—her sweet, filthy fling—to France for the summer and just…play.
When feelings begin to develop behind the provocative roles they take on, and their temporary masquerade adventures begin to feel real, Mia will have to decide if she belongs in the life she left because it was all wrong, or in the strange new one that seems
 worlds away




 
Bio / Social Media

Lauren Billings (but everyone calls her Lo) has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and before she made writing her full-time job, would spend her days doing nerdy research-type things wearing a lab coat and goggles. She is silly Mommy to two littles, wife to one mountain biking homebrewing scientist, bestie to a shoe-stealer, and an unabashed lover of YA and romance.
Christina Hobbs (but you’ll always hear Lo call her PQ) used to spend her days in a junior high counseling office surrounded by teenagers. Married to the cutest boy in school, she has a thirteen year old daughter, is an unapologetic lover of boy bands and glitter, and also likes to steal Lo’s shoes.

Erin's Review

Oh Ansel, sweet Ansel, how do I love thee??? What can go wrong after a drunken girls weekend in Vegas? Anyone??? For Mia, everything....and not a damn thing! Mia and Ansel's attraction is immediate. Hell, I wanted to push her in to his hotel room when she first knocked on his door and if she didn't want to go in, I gladly would have! These two are sweet, sexy and so right for each other. But for Mia, who has never done anything like this in her life, it was totally the wrong thing to do. It really sucks living up to your parent's expectations, especially your father's. It really sucks when you follow in daddy's footsteps because that's what you're meant to do. And it really sucks when the very life that you worked for isn't the life that you want at all.

 This story is so much more than a drunken girls weekend gone wrong. It takes a look at the what ifs, what's behind door #2 and sometimes the road not yet traveled just may be the right road after all. It's a story about getting to know someone you can't walk away from, even though you just met, and it's a story about taking your life in your own hands and doing what's right for you, not living someone else's dream.
 The supporting characters are amazing and I was totally squealing like a 15 yr girl at a One Direction concert when I read that Harlow is going to get her own book. These girls are amazing, and the guys hot as hell. I don't know what took me so long to jump on the Christina Lauren fangirl bus but I'm a lifer. And now I need the Beautiful series-hint hint to my hubby-Mother's Day was yesterday it still isn't too late to buy these.
 Sweet Filthy Boy is a hit, so find your Ansel, go to Paris and live your dream, or at the very least...buy this book!
