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 his –in 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. 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.
TWISTED picks up two years after Tangled’s end, and is told from Kate’s POV.

I am absolutely delighted to be
spending the weekend with Drew and Kate. As characters go, they’re pretty
freaking cool. I loved being in Drew’s head while reading Tangled and Holy Frigging
Matrimony and was looking forward to getting to know Kate just as well. Two
years have passed since Tangled, and
while I knew I was in for a bumpy ride based on the blurb, I wasn’t prepared
for the loop de loop rollercoaster ride Ms. Chase threw me on.
Kate’s pregnancy insured emotional
upheaval – nope, that’s not a spoiler because if you didn’t figure that out
from the blurb you don’t need to be reading the book. But the epic level of
misunderstandings that lead to Drew and Kate’s separation is freaking heartbreaking.
For two people whose profession requires clear and concise communication, their
failure to communicate clearly during their relationship-destroying argument
speaks to the level of hurt and devastation they both felt. No one knows how to
hurt you more thoroughly than the person who loves you – they know your
strengths and weaknesses and know what weapons to use and precisely where to
aim them to do the most damage.
For me, the part that makes a book
enjoyable is the journey. I pick up certain books expecting a happy ending, so
knowing the ending isn’t as important as what the couple endures to get there. Twisted is a perfect example of this. I
knew Drew and Kate would find their way back to one another (or at least I really
hoped they would). But it is the journey of self-discovery that Kate must take
that made this such an enjoyable read for me. Despite how she came off in Tangled, Kate really doesn’t have it all
together and she learned a LOT about herself and what she is capable of when
all the chips are down. Twisted is a
great addition to the Tangled series and I am looking forward to reading Tamed next because I love Dee.
And for all you Drew fans, don’t
worry because Ms. Chase was nice enough to let us back into his head for Twisted’s Epilogue.
