Chad Lake is on his way to a party for Gamers Magazine, at
his sister Marley's request; the purpose of the exercise
being free food and booze. Chad is riding his motorcycle,
and he is stuck behind a slow poke who is driving him
crazy.
At the party, Chad sees this guy who is so not his type: a
real geek, with a bow tie! And yet, he cannot stop looking
at him. Chad is very good looking, he knows it, and the
geek
does not drool over him; the nerve! Said nerd, Owen Hawkins
who works at Gamers, is used to be invisible, he's a mild-
mannered man,
but when Chad decides to provoke him, it's
Chad who is stunned! And for the first time in his life,
Chad is completely enthralled by a man, by anyone or
anything really. Chad and Owen cannot physically resist
each
other, they have sex early on, they argue over everything
and yet, there is something they cannot deny is there.
Commitment-phobic Chad, Chad who never finishes anything,
Chad who never pursues anything seriously is obsessed
by Owen, and he doesn't want to be but he can't help it!
TIED TO TROUBLE is the first book I've read by Megan
Erickson, and it won't be the last. I just loved it! TIED
TO
TROUBLE has one of the best twists on the "opposites
attracts" trope I have read in a very long time. I love
both Chad and Owen; they are very different, but in a
normal
way. Nothing is exaggerated, and they feel like people you
know. They also behave in surprising ways. Neither is
entirely what he appears to be, which positively delighted
me. Ms. Erickson describes them in such a way, that I
really
saw them, and best of all they fit no stereotypes
whatsoever: granted Chad is the expected bad boy hottie,
but
with none of the usual annoying clichés, and Owen has his
own special charm, which made him a winner for me. The
writing is witty, crisp and flows mighty well, the
dialogues
sound totally authentic, and the banter and the snark
between the two men is fabulous. It's not gratuitous or
over
the top. The sex scenes are scorching, entirely realistic,
and extremely well handled. I'm thrilled Megan Erickson
had the honour of writing the first male/male romance for
Entangled Brazen. It was a very smart move, and I hope to
see more in that vein. TIED TO TROUBLE is a fun, young
story
with multifaceted characters, where we see much growth,
love
and hope for two charming young men. TIED TO TROUBLE was a
wonderful surprise!
A sexy new M/M romance from Entangled's Brazen
imprint...
Between love and hate, there's a whole lot of trouble...
Chad Lake only showed up at his sister's party for the free
food, but when he spots an uptight nerd at the edge of the
crowd, he can't resist trying to ruffle the guy's perfect
bow tie and impeccable hair. The hottie's ready for him,
though, and in the end, it's Chad who's left wide-eyed, his
ears still ringing with the filthy things Bow Tie whispered
in his ear. No one gets the upper hand on Chad. Ever.
Owen Hawkins has heard all about the cocky Adonis from
Chad's sister--the same sister who holds Owen's career
advancement in her hands. He has every intention of
steering
clear of the other man...until Chad's sexy taunts push him
too far. There's something intriguing about Chad, and even
though Owen knows that getting tangled up with the
infuriating man is trouble, he can't seem to stay away...
