I rarely ever not finish a book, unfortunately this was one of those books that I didn't finish. Tangling with the London Tycoon is about a publishing executive (Rosco), who ends up having one of his employees (Kitty) photograph his sisters wedding because the original photographer drops out at the last minute. Both characters are paparazzi phobic to the point it's disturbing for the reader. The story lacked any kind of excitement, and I found what I did read was just boring. Got to about 70% and just gave up, I was jumping ahead more than I was reading, just didn't keep my interest at all. I don't like leaving poor reviews on books, rarely do it because it takes a lot for an author to write, but this story just didn't do it for me unfortunately.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book

Tangling with the London Tycoon was an okay novel in my opinion, I just had a hard time getting into the story. Both Rosco and Kitty are awesome characters but I just didn’t feel the connection between them. The storyline was intriguing because of the circumstances that bond them, there was just a loss in the emotion connection and chemistry. It wasn’t a bad story it just wasn’t quite for me. I would give this novel 3.5 stars.

This was a good read. rosco and Kitty both had troubled childhoods. Together they were able to forget for a while, but their pasts came back to haunt them. It was a fun and angst filled read. Good characters, main and secondary, and a nicely written world that is entertaining. Clean read, no sex scenes, though it's hinted at. Overall, nice.

I enjoyed this contemporary romance between the unlikely duo of London tycoon Rosco, and photographer Kitty. They both have secrets in their past and Kitty especially is wary of being recognized or of the paparazzi.

Rosco contracts Kitty for an emergency replacement for his sister's wedding photography, but Kitty has always avoided wedding photography. Before long, she is pushed outside of her comfort zone as she and Rosco explore their attraction.

This is an entertaining novel that I gave four stars for a solid plot with some fun quirks. The plot was steady, but a bit slow. The characters were engaging and I would have loved to have learned more about them.

The author has great potential and I am looking forward to reading more by her. I believe that she is an author to watch and I'm already looking forward to her next book.

Suzi Jennings is a new author to me and this story had me thinking I need to look at her other books.
Roscoe is a silent broody man that just oozes sex appeal and Kitty is the fun loving girl that takes no nonsense a match made in heaven or is it... will the secrets from their pasts stay in the past or will the paparazzi spill the beans......
This is a fast fun book that will keep you on your toes as it goes back and forth between Roscoe and Kitty. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Rosco is a London millionaire that protects his family and reputation. I received a copy of Tangling with the London Tycoon from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Rosco is in the middle of preparing everything for one of his sisters' wedding when the photographer is unable to make it. He needs a photographer ready to go in less than two days and that photographer has to be discreet and professional because one of the bridesmaids is famous and the paparazzi also love to stalk Rosco's family. Kitty wants the job and she is needs this job to get her in the door so that she can sell a photography project she is planning to Rosco's media empire. Kitty is publicity adverse and she has good reason. She comes from a very untraditional family and her mother was someone that drew the paparazzi before her untimely death.

Rosco and Kitty do not hit it off so well in the beginning. He doesn't trust that she didn't bring the paparazzi to his door before the wedding even commences and she things he is uptight. Rosco things Kitty has a good eye her photography but worries she will not do the work to the standard he would like so he decides to trail her every move. This has the undesired affect of showing him just how interested he is in Kitty despite his desire not to be in a relationship. Kitty just wants him to publisher her work and works hard to keep space between them until she realizes they have a lot more in common than she realized, troubled parents. They bond over having a parent who seemed to be have trouble following them and end up in a situation that neither wanted but neither can resist. It is a great story of love happening in weird situations, like while hiding out under a table at a wedding. Review can also be seen at LadyTechie's Book Musings

Just an ok read for me. The writing was good but I never really connected with these characters. The chemistry between Roscoe and Kitty didn't really feel true. He's a control freak, she's a free spirit and the two just didn't seem right together to me. Not a bad story with family issues at the core for both of them. The last thing they need is all the publicity Roscoe's sisters wedding is generating so they team up to hold off the vultures.

I liked this one. Rosco with his strong, silent, but loving personality was something I just loved. Kitty was a fun balance to Rosco. I could have done without all the paparazzi worry throughout it. I felt like the story could have went on just fine with the theme without the paparazzi "threat". Overall a good, sexy read!

A clean romance about two people that are trying to kept their families past actions out of the public eye. Rosco owns the publishing company that Kitty a photographer works for. They meet when Rosco brings her in to do the photos for his sister's wedding. They both have secrets from their past that they would like to keep hidden but are afraid might come to light due to the press covering the pop star bridesmaid. Part of her contract is to pretend to be his love interest at the wedding so the press will not link him with the pop star. The book has some humor, a little steam and a HEA. If you are in the mood for a clean romance give this book a try.

An entertaining read.

I enjoyed this book. Rosco and Kitty are interesting characters that are fighting their sparks because each of them have reasons. Rosco not wanting to get involved with an employee and Kitty not wanting to get involved with a public figure. When Kitty see's what happens behind the scenes of Rosco's life she is touched. But her past is holding her back. She mindlessly takes a risk at helping Rosco and ends up with something more.

I found that the characters are likable and the plot-line builds nicely and the writting was easy to follow and thougthful. What I didn't like was that I didn't understand the sudden shift in Rosco that he could have a relationship with his employee. I also found the inner turmoil of Kitty to be one that took a long time to get insight on. Yet, I understood and became compassionate to her. You have two broken characters that join forces to heal each other. Would I read more from this author? Yes.

Tangling with the London Tycoon by Suzi Jennings was a fast and fun contemporary romance that was a nice escape from reality. I abso~loved the back and forth that took place between Rosco and Kitty. Very well-done read.

Tangling With the London Tycoon, made a great weekend book to read. There were just a couple of times that the book dragged a little. Other than that, I liked the fact that they both come from money so no hurt feelings there.

Disappointing.

Kitty Mayfair is a contract photographer. Randomly selected by the head of LJ Redmond Publishing to take his sister's wedding photos after the previous photographer fractures her collar bone.

Rosco Redmond is the head of the publishing house. He is the antithesis of his father who drank and cheated his way around London. He is desperate to win a lucrative publishing contract and needs his family business (and ergo his family) to exude class and sophistication - difficult to do when his sister has invited the pop star Titania to be one of her bridesmaids.

When Kitty is papped entering Rosco's London townhouse it spells bad news for both of them. Him because of the potential publishing contract and her because of her past.

My overwhelming feeling was that this was a longer 'women's fiction' novel that had been forced into the shorter Entangled Publishing format (not saying either is wrong, just that this format didn't work for the story). The novel jumped from one scene to another and seemed to be more about ticking off a shopping list of billionaire attributes (London townhouse, country estate, sports car, helicopter etc) than developing a coherent story. Both Kitty and Rosco had 'issues' which again felt too much for such a short novel format. Frankly, I didn't understand Kitty's hatred of the paparazzi nor her backstory with Trinity St George (or at least I didn't understand what the big issue was with Trinity). Similarly, I didn't understand the backstory with Rosco's potential publishing contract. I certainly didn't feel any connection between Kitty and Rosco (even their names are irritating me), I found their 'romance' difficult to believe. Basically, I felt that this was like a storyboard for a longer, more nuanced novel in which we saw more of the peripheral characters like Rosco's family or Kitty's family and got to understand why Kitty decided that Rosco had been playing her despite all evidence to the contrary.
