Get Tangled up with a book - read TANGLED UP IN LOVE
For months, Veronica "Ronnie" Chasen and Dylan Stone have engaged in a war of words.and challenges via their respective newspaper columns. Each time, they have risen to each other's dare, even as the stakes have gone up. Tattoos and bungee jumping aren't anything for Ronnie, but in her challenges for him, he's also proven to be a worthy adversary, such as him waxing his legs. Now, Ronnie has goaded Dylan into knitting. Will Dylan rise to the challenge, or finally admit his defeat? Well, what if he shows up at Ronnie's weekly knitting club meeting and asks someone to show him how to knit? And just suppose who that person he asks is.
Dylan has to admit Ronnie is attractive. Her icy personality should leave him cold; instead it makes him hotter than the desert sun. He's also not afraid of challenges, and for her latest, he decides to go to the source.with an offer to pay Ronnie to teach him how to knit. Ronnie, who grew up in a family barely hanging by a thread financially, feels compelled to take the money. She figures he won't last a week before giving up, but she'll have the money. Training sessions turn into late nights spent together. Dylan and Ronnie soon learn more about each other..which leads to more than knitting.
But can two adversaries have any kind of future together? What will happen at the end of the thirty day challenge?
Heidi Betts has penned a humorous, entertaining tale in TANGLED UP IN LOVE that will knock you off your feet. Beneath Ronnie's icy exterior lies an uncertain woman. She doesn't feel financially secure or ready for a relationship. Dylan irks her to no end with his chauvinistic attitude. Women can do as well as any man! Their battle of the sexes will remind readers of classic Hepburn vs. Tracy movies. These exchanges provide for several funny moments, but once they bridge the "getting to know each other" barrier, then their relationship takes a sensual turn. Get out the ice cold drinks, readers, for Ronnie and Dylan burn the pages!
Dylan is a guy's guy and hangs out with his buddies, Gage and Zack. It's up to Dylan to save the male face by besting Ronnie, but of course, the guys do have to rib him about knitting. For his part, Dylan does try to make the moves on Ronnie, but what started out as a "can I thaw her icy exterior" became a man wondering how he could keep her forever. Dylan does come across as chauvinistic at first, but he's really a likable guy that readers will adore. The sexy banter between Dylan and Ronnie sizzles and steams the pages.
Sprinkled throughout TANGLED UP IN LOVE are hints of a future story for another couple of characters, but I'm not going to give that away. Instead, read and find out whom and then wait (im)patiently for Heidi Betts to weave her magic.
A royal battle of the sexes highlights TANGLED UP IN LOVE and makes for a purely enjoyable read that will keep you up late at night to finish. Grab your copy off the bookstore shelves and get ready for a rollicking fun read.
