Tangled and Drew Evans were two of my favorite things about my book adventures this year.  So I was really looking forward to reading some more of Emma Chase’s quick witted writing, and Drew’s hilariously sexy mouth.  Did I get that? Yeah, sort of I guess.  I knew this was a short story, and I’m totally okay with SHORT stories.  But that wasn’t my problem this story in particular.  I just felt like it ended way too soon, I needed more even if just a little more.You get the funny, sweet, sexy Drew Evan’s and all of his funny business.  You get to see some cute, funny banter between Him & Kate.  And you even get a little friend/family drama.  But that is all.  Like for real. There is absolutely no plot to follow, and the storyline doesn’t really lead anywhere.  And by the ending I was actually scratching my head at what I just read.  Was it bad? Absolutely not!  In fact I really enjoyed the writing, and flow.  I just wish that it would have gone somewhere, anywhere really.  I’d even be satisfied with a cliffhanger.So after I was done reading  I actually second guessed myself and went back to re-read some of it, thinking maybe I’d missed some key element or something--I didn’t find anything different.  So then I thought, well maybe this will be part of a short story series that will be put altogether at some point.  But even then, I just didn’t get it.  Or maybe I’m just in my head too much, since the only thing I have to go off of is Tangled.  Which is one of my favorite reads this year.  I swear I really had high hopes for this short story, but it just didn’t happen for me.  And I would actually like people to read this so I can see the vast differences in opinions and compare those to my own.  I would really love to see the different discussions now that I’ve read it.  You get more Drew, so that’s a positive for sure!
