Klappentext zu „Tamed “
In the third unforgettable book by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase, Matthew Fisher-the best friend of Drew Evans from Tangled and Twisted-wants to settle down, but he'll have to overcome the mistrust of the vividly unique Dee Dee Warren. Includes a bonus short story, Holy Frigging Matrimony!Stop me if you've heard this one before: girl meets player, they fall in love, player changes his ways.
It's a good story. But it's not our story. Ours is a lot more colorful.
When I met Dee, I knew right away that she was special. When she met me, she thought I was anything but special-I was exactly like every other guy who'd screwed her over and let her down. It took some time to convince her otherwise, but it turns out I can make a convincing argument when sex is at stake.
You might know where this story's headed. But the best part isn't where we ended up.
It's how we got there.
Lese-Probe zu „Tamed “
Tamed Chapter 1 During the last few weeks, it's been brought to my attention that sometimes women actually like to cry. They cry over books, TV shows, those awful abused-animal commercials, and movies-especially movies. Sitting down to purposely watch something you know will make you unhappy? It makes no frigging sense.
But that's okay; I'm just going to chalk it up to another thing I will never understand about my girlfriend. Yes-I said girlfriend. Dee Warren is officially my girlfriend.
One more time for those in the back-girlfriend-Delores-mine.
Repeating it might make me sound like a Harry Styles-obsessed prepubescent girl, but I don't give a damn. Because it was a hard-won victory-if you knew what I had to go through to make her mine, you'd understand.
Anyway, back to what I was saying. Chicks like to cry-but this isn't one of those stories. There's no dying best friends, no dark tortured pasts, no hidden secrets, no sparkly vampire breakups, and no kinky fuckery.
Well . . . okay . . . there's some kinky fuckery-but it's the happy kind.
This is a story about a player, who meets a slightly crazy girl. They fall in love and the player changes his ways forever. It's a story you've probably heard before, maybe even from my buddy, Drew Evans. But the thing is, while he and Kate were figuring their shit out? There was this whole alternate universe going on with Delores and me that you don't know about. So stick around, even if you think you already know the ending. Because the greatest part of a road trip isn't arriving at your destination. It's all the wild stuff that happens along the way.
Before we start, there's some background info you may need to know. First off-Drew's a great guy, a true best friend. If we were the Rat Pack, he'd be Frank Sinatra, I'd be Dean Martin. Although Drew and I are tight, we differ in our opinions about women. At this point in our tale, he sees himself as a bachelor for life. He's got all these rules

about never bringing a chick to his apartment, never dating someone he works with, and the Cardinal Rule: Never hook up with the same woman twice.
I, on the other hand, don't care where I get laid-my place, her place, the observation deck of the Empire State Building.
That was a great night.
I'm also not opposed to seeing someone from the office-though most of the girls in my line of work are stressed out, chain smoking, coffee-obsessed women with an unpleasant chip on their shoulders. I have no problem hanging out with the same woman on multiple occasions, as long as the good times keep rolling. And someday, I imagine myself settling down-marriage, kids, the whole deal.
But while I'm looking for Mrs. Right? I'm having a blast with all the Ms. Wrongs.
Secondly, I'm a real glass-half-full kind of person. Nothing gets me down. I have a great life-a good career that lets me enjoy the best man-toys on the market, awesome friends, a weird but loving family. "Emo" doesn't exist in my vocabulary, but YOLO should've been my middle name.
Next up is Delores Warren-Dee, if you want to stay on her good side. By today's standards it's an unusual name, but for her it's a perfect fit. She's unusual-different-in all the best kinds of ways. She's brutally honest, emphasis on "brutal." She's strong and doesn't give a rat's ass what people think of her. She's true to herself and makes no apologies for what she wants or who she is. She's wild and beautiful-like an undomesticated thoroughbred that runs best without a saddle.
And that was where I almost went wrong. I wanted to tame her. I thought I had the patience for it, but I pushed too hard and pulled too much on the reins. So she broke them.
Are you offended that I compared the woman I love to a horse? Ge
