3.5 ‘friggin’  KissesOh my wow…I now officially want to re-read Tangled  and possibly beg Emma Chase for Twisted…cause I need it, like right now. A little taste of Drew only made my addiction to him worse. Holy Frigging Matrimony was funny, hot, cute and classically Drew.Drew…I think it is impossible not to love Drew. He’s sexy, alpha, quick witted and hilarious, endearing and of course…he loves Kate. I can't explain why I love his love for Kate so much...but I do. So there. And seriously, there really is nothing better than being in Drew’s POV…he’s possibly one of my favorite male POV’s to read ever. Definitely top three. There is just something about him, his personality, his dry sense of humor, his confidence…it all comes across and it’s sexy, alluring and addictive to read…hence the reason why I want more. Now.“You have to get the hell out of here.”My brow furrows. “Kicking me out already? I feel so used.”She laughs.I say, “I see how it is. You only want me for my body.”Mimicking my earlier tone, Kate replies, “Well…yeah. Although your mind can be mildly entertaining.”Kate is…classic Kate. Still keeping Drew on his toes and managing to stay true to herself in their relationship. I love how she tolerates Drew and his antics…lets him do his thing and yet still holds her own with him. I really appreciated that…she’s not a weak girl and while she loves Drew she isn’t going to sacrifice everything just because of that fact. She’ll make concessions and compromise but she is still very much her own person even though she’s in a relationship with him. Just as much as I find it impossible not to love Drew, I feel the same about Kate. One of the many reasons why this couple is one of my most favorite-ist couples ever! They're just sexy, swoony and warm me to my core - butterflies and all.‘But that was then. My now is much better.Because I’ve got the hottest girl in the room sitting next to me – and I can stick my hands up her dress anytime I want.’I was…surprised – there was a jaw drop moment in the book, actually I had a couple of jaw drop moments, which is saying something, since it’s a novella. Even though Holy Frigging Matrimony is short and sweet, it delivered a nice little punch – covered all the bases I wanted it to with a few shockers that I wasn’t expecting. Not only do you have Drew and Kate greatness but we get a little taste of just about everyone from Tangled…Dee Dee, Billy, Alexandra, Matthew…the whole gang and then some.‘There’s nothing on earth more valuable than an old friend. Someone who understands you, knows why you are who are, why you do what you do. No explanations needed.’There is something about Emma’s writing…it’s crisp, it’s clean…it’s got the perfect pace and flow. It’s very addictive, which is another reason why I was so sad that it was short. Just as I was hooked and getting into it…it was over. While that makes me sad, that speaks volumes for the author to have that ability. I really love the humor…it’s not over the top, it’s got wit and sarcasm, the blend is just perfect to me. And just because I cannot say it enough…being in Drew’s POV is fatabulous. Not that I can’t wait for Kate’s POV, but the way that Drew thinks is just…original, unique and classic.‘Her eyes shine. At me. For me. “Nothing. I just…I love you, you know.”I shrug. “I’m a loveable guy.”She laughs. And brings her palm to my cheek, smacking it softly. “And slappable – definitely a slappable guy.”“King. We should explore that further, later on.”’Like I said…my one complaint is that it was over too quick. It’s only amped me up more for Twisted - March can’t get here quick enough!
