Fans of drama and celebrity will love this story about a famous socialite who must pretend to be in a fake relationship with her bodyguard, only for both of them to actually fall in love with one another, despite the consequences.

Tangled Like Us

How to protect your heart: Let your bodyguard have it. Jane Cobalt is an American princess. The loyal and painfully curious twenty-three-year-old has inherited immense pressure to preserve the Cobalt legacy. But for Jane — sex, love, and life have been a series of royal failures. After a friends-with-benefits ended in disaster, she's sworn to a “no sex” hiatus for, well, eternity — and she has no intention of letting anyone in her bed and definitely not her heart. Twenty-eight-year-old Thatcher Moretti is painfully professional. As the stern 24/7 bodyguard to Jane, thinking about unbridled sex with his sweet client is a sin. One that he keeps committing. But the real act is a hard line he’d never cross. When a family member betrays Jane's trust, the media becomes obsessed with matchmaking the perpetually “single” Jane Cobalt and unwanted attention suddenly compromises her safety. Thatcher would do anything to protect her, and one solution may level the threats: Become the fake boyfriend to an American princess. Entwined together with boiling chemistry, new “professional” parameters, and an oath, unsaid feelings threaten to rise and change everything. ​

Los amé mucho🤧

Son demasiado hermosos de verdad, me gusta la confianza que se tienen y lo mucho que se cuidan. Y que Thatcher estuviera dispuesto a dejar todo por Jane fue aun más lindo💗

Samantha Calloway señora por favor, estoy esperando que se muera desde hace 10 libros y lo grosera que es con sus nietos me hace detestarla aun más.

Me gusta ver más la relación de todos ahora que viven juntos y es muy lindo ver a Jane pasar tiempo con Luna y Sulli.

Btw Luna y Donnelly en que momento paso jajaja definitivamente cuando salga su libro necesito saber como empezó todo porque Jane no pregunto mucho y yo necesito saber👀

En fin ya quiero saber que les espera a Jane y Thatcher en sinful like us🥺

I'm kind of conflicted, to be honest. I really enjoyed the majority of the book but the ending was so rushed!

I also really expected more angst or just more of something. This book lacked that spark that goes with the Addicted/Calloway Sisters/Like Us series'. 

I envisioned Thatcher to to be more like Ryke. He kind of gave off those vibes in the other books so that's what I was expecting. And don't get me wrong, I liked seeing him so open about his life to Jane and and how sweet he really is. But I don't know, this just wasn't to the standard of the other books. 

I love all of the books of this series and the other two. This is the first time this happens. I hope the other book is better. These books always have something going on and I think this one was just kind of tame and bland.

I have never held my breath more in my life !!!
Wow Jane and Thatcher dude that man damnnnnn. I adored this so much and seeing so much more of the characters in this universe was everything !!
The development of the relationship was written so well and going more into both Jane’s and Thatcher’s pasts was amazing. Also that Luna and Donnelly moment oopsie but also yesssss my other faves !!
Jane is such a strong female character and Thatcher a brooding and supportive man to his girl honestly loved every second sweating most of the time for obvious reasons. Oh yes I did cry numerous times lol

“It seems we are dreadfully tangled, you and I.”

  "We all love grandiose displays of loyalty. And nothing screams loyalty like shielding a secret from the entire world." 


Tangled Like Us is just as wonderful as I expected it to be. It's no secret that Jane Cobalt is one of my favourites from the Like Us series--how could she not be? She's one of the children of Rose Calloway and Connor Cobalt and we all know they are two of my favourite fictional characters of all time. I've been waiting for what feels like forever to see her story and it certainly did not disappoint!

There's this indescribable quality to the dynamic duo's writing. They never fail to make readers feel as though they know their characters. It's their greatest strength: they still, they always, write in living colour and it's what makes their stories so beloved amongst their fans. I've loved seeing the timeline expand and the families grow.

When I said, a few years back, that these series (Addicted, Calloway Sisters and Like Us) are to my twenties what Harry Potter was to me growing up, I meant it. They truly are. I will seriously always have a soft spot for these characters. Always. They are SO special to me.

But, let's get back on track to the review! Tangled Like Us obviously centers around Jane Cobalt and her blossoming relationship with her bodyguard, Thatcher Moretti. Readers who have been following Maximoff Hale and Farrow Keene's love story in the previous three installments of Like Us will have noticed long ago that something was bound to happen between Jane and Thatcher based on chemistry alone.

Admittedly, I was a little concerned about whether or not I'd like Tangled Like Us.

Not because I don't trust Krista and Becca Ritchie--I do. I was just in a weird place emotionally when it was released, which delayed me reading it. And then there was just a part of me that was like, eh, another bodyguard and client relationship? Thaaanks.

(Insert that Vine clip of a child getting an avocado for Christmas and setting it aside like 
  thaaanks
.)

Plus, I'd grown so used and attached to the relationship between Moffy and Farrow, I was like, "Oh, they're not going to top this." Colour me foolish, though, because as always Ritchie Squared knocks it out of the park for their readers. None of their characters and relationships are in a competition against each other. They're all equally wonderful. All of the characters and relationships are vivid and complex.

Much like within Addicted and Calloway Sisters each relationship in the Like Us series is uniquely different but no less warm and fuzzy* inducing. We see Jane and Thatcher go from not-so-subtle attraction, to fake dating, to real hooking up and then witness them settle into a new normal.

Which is a joy that is not without complication.What's life without a little angst, anyways?

*Well, and maybe a little cold shower inducing, but that's neither here nor there. 

Tangled Like Us has a lot of wonderful traits to it. Samantha Calloway (aka, Grandma Calloway, aka Poppy, Lily, Rose and Daisy's mom) is still an uppity snot with no boundaries or sense of reality. The relationship of Jane and Thatcher has a lot of growth as they connect and let their guards down. They literally melt around each other and I love them for it. Not only do they connect on a physical level, one we see from the start, they've got that emotionally charged bond that makes these romances stand out.

Some of my favourite parts of Tangled Like Us happen in passing. They build onto the bigger picture, which I appreciate.

References to Moffy and Farrow's story are only the beginning. Throwbacks to Addicted and Calloway Sisters, the Cobalt Family Dinner (!! ADOPT ME, PLEASE) and more of that incredible familial bond between the three core families. Even further, we see the incorporation of Thatcher's family, as well. 

Tangled Like Us relies equally on fleshing out the characters, crafting the romance and sprinkles in a little nostalgia for longtime readers. There are many layers to it.

More positives to note in the full review on Booked J.

In short? Tangled Like Us is another stellar release set within this world and I can't wait to see what happens next. Once I got into the story, I couldn't put it down. Romantic, steamy, steady with emotion, life and laughter, Tangled Like Us is everything you want from Krista and Becca Ritchie.

I'm so excited for the next chapter of Jane and Thatcher's story in Sinful Like Us. One thing is certain: I will never not love these families and stories.
