LOVE. DREW.<\/strong> That pretty much sums up my review of <strong>Tied<\/strong> by <strong><em>Emma Chase<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I first fell in love with him and Ms. Chase\u2019s witty, wry, acerbic, in-your-face, no- holds-barred, tell like it is from <em>an unapologetic alpha male POV<\/em> writing style that encompasses all that is Drew in <strong>Tangled<\/strong>, the first book in its namesake series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Sigh.<\/em> (Kind of wistful because this is the end and I&#8217;m going to miss Drew and Kate.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drew is the hero who is so unabashedly <strong><em>UNpolitically<\/em><\/strong> correct, it\u2019s almost embarrassing that I adore him as much as I do. And I wouldn\u2019t adore him so much if he weren\u2019t so <em>real <\/em>and hysterical to boot. A gorgeous, sexy, adoring, faithful man who can make you laugh? Ladies, if you have one of these at home, hold on to him for dear life. Drew is the guy who says what a lot of people (both men and women) are thinking. That\u2019s one of the things I most appreciated about his character. Some of his views on\u00a0life are hysterically twisted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quotes\"><p>Did you ever notice how fairy tales start off great? The beautiful princess, the happy kingdom? Then it all turns to shit. One minute Hansel\u2019s feeling no pain, chomping on a window made of sugar, and the next minute some old hag is trying to shove his ass in an oven.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lest I forget Kate. She\u2019s the perfect match for our wonderful Drew. Now here\u2019s a lady who doesn\u2019t put up with a lot of crap but she\u2019s vulnerable in all the right ways. In other words, IMO, your typical female will be able to relate to her. I consider myself fairly typical so\u2026well there you go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the finale of the series\u2026the much-anticipated wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I can honestly say I didn\u2019t know how I\u2019d like this book. This was the third full-length book about Drew and Kate (and three is seriously the max for me) and I did pay the $.99 to read the very short (at 30 something\u00a0pages) novella, <strong>Holy Frigging Matrimony<\/strong>. I skipped <strong>Tamed <\/strong>because I just never felt Matthew and Dee Dee as two characters I wanted to read about for an entire book. If it goes on sale one day, I may pick it up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Okay getting back to <strong>Tied<\/strong>, I went into it feeling cautiously optimistic. Why cautiously? Because I was wondering\u00a0what else could go wrong for them? What kind of conflict would they encounter this time around that wouldn\u2019t have me rolling my eyes and shaking my head. Well Ms. Chase did not disappoint. I can\u2019t tell you how much I enjoyed that they were parents to an adorable two-year-old boy. The parenting thing added a different, \u201creal\u201d dimension to their characters. I loved seeing Drew as a father. I loved how much he loved his son, James, and loved being a father.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then there were their respective bachelor and bachelorette parties. I was holding my breath, my heart beating madly when I read that whole section. At one point, I was in as much despair as Drew. I didn\u2019t see a light at the end of his dark and lonely tunnel. I still can\u2019t believe that Ms. Chase was able to pull off a satisfying HEA. Seriously, she had me really worried.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As for the supporting characters, it was so nice to see his niece, Mackenzie, all grown up. Okay, I\u2019m exaggerating. The kid is just shy of nine, but my point is that she\u2019s growing up right before my very eyes. (<em>I wipe away a tear of nostalgia.)\u00a0<\/em>Dee Dee isn\u2019t quite as overbearing and obnoxious as I found her in the other books and Matthew doesn\u2019t appear nearly as <em>whipped. <\/em>Drew\u2019s sister, Alexander and her husband Steven&#8217;s marital problems added their own bit of drama to the story, which I thoroughly enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The love scenes are sexy and hot and had me fanning my face. Ms. Chase writes a mean love scene. She absolutely nails it\u2014no punned intended. And it\u2019s still a novelty reading it strictly from the male POV. Speaking of which, did I miss getting any of the story from Kate\u2019s POV? Only a little bit. Why? Because Drew is that kind of character. He can carry a book on his own. He proved it in <strong>Tangled<\/strong> and he proves it here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, a fabulous ending to a wonderful series. I can\u2019t decide if I loved it as much as I loved <strong>Tangled<\/strong>, but I&#8217;ve gotta tell you, if I didn&#8217;t, it comes pretty darn close. This is <em>definitely<\/em> a book I would recommend. It\u2019s going on my <strong>keeper<\/strong> shelf. And if you haven\u2019t read the series, you need to. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/20876097-tied\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em>\u00a0Beverley<strong><br \/>\nHeat Level:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Hot\/Scorching<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4.5_star_blog.jpg?resize=177%2C60\" alt=\"4.5_star_blog\" width=\"177\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00IWTWFOU?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00IWTWFOU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9781476785899\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9781476785899\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9781476785899\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Emma_Chase_Tied?id=5PxtAwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-13789\" data-postid=\"13789\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-13789 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of my Top Picks of the Year, so I&#8217;m giving away a digital copy.
