Emily #4
The Taming of the Dru
Subject: Emily’s Über-Fabu Boyfriend Tips
From: Emmers@britsahoy.co.uk
To: Dru@seattlegrrl.com
1. Lip action matters. When selecting a guy to be your potential BF, it’s really best if you don’t give him a concussion when trying to kiss him.
2. Bad timing sucks. If you spend months waiting for your potential BF to come home from another country intending to throw yourself in his manly arms, make sure he’s coming home alone.
3. Swords hurt. If you insist on challenging a BF-stealing wannabe to a duel with one, use a fake sword rather than a real one. Sword cuts are so hard to explain to the parental units…
4. Don’t take no for an answer. Some guys need a little help seeing that you’re the best thing since someone figured out how to get glitter in lip gloss.

Katie MacAlister is a Seattle-area author of fiction and non-fiction. Her most popular titles are historical, contemporary, and paranormal romance. She also writes Young Adult books under the pseudonym Katie Maxwell and Mysteries under the pseudonym Kate Marsh.
About Katie
as long as she can remember, Katie MacAlister has loved reading. Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. Despite her love for novels, she didn't think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction book about software. Since her editor refused to allow her to include either witty dialogue or love scenes in the software book, Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes.
Two years after she started writing novels, Katie sold her first romance, Noble Intentions. More than thirty books later, her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and placed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell.
Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and dogs, and can often be found lurking around online.

I think I like this novel the best of the four-part series. Emily is so great at being a friend and at communicating comical situations. She and Fang are surprisingly well suited to one another, and I love how she ended things with her friends in England when she returned to Seattle at the end of the year. What a fun, light novel. Still a bit dated electronically speaking, but fun.

OKAY, we are finally there. Emily and Fang have a chance.I feel like I've been waiting foreverrrrr. But Fang does home from NZ with a new girlfriend and now Emily needs to get him back. As usual, our girl Emily goes about things really strangely. Also, they are about to leave England which is sad.
I thought this one was funny and ridiculous and I loved it.

*happy sigh* and many laughes. I was so excited that Emily had finally realized that Fang was the right guy for her - and then Fang comes home - with a GF! Eek. But Emily deals with it in her special Emily way and through lots of zany adventures and a few injuries, the ending is just perfect.

Mary & I read all the previous books in this series and laughed our asses off. I still love them because they’re ridiculous.
