Looooooved this book so much!! Second chance romance novels usually aren't my favorite, especially where cheating is concerned, and I did have a hard time coming to grips with it, but otherwise this book was fantastic. Absolutely adored Mia. I'm a sucker for a good single parent romances so this hit the spot. Loved Neely and Dane together and their chemistry was effortless. There were a couple times where the story lulled and I had to really concentrate on not getting distracted by the outside world. Nonetheless this book was great and hope to get more from Dogwood Lane!

After walking away from her dream job for very good reasons, Neely finds herself going home to regroup.  What she does not expect or want is a run in with her old flame, Dane, who ended their relationship with an unplanned pregnancy with someone else. Can you find happiness in a place that held so much sorrow?  Once again Adriana Locke takes her readers on an emotional journey with beautifully written characters that you cannot help but fall in love with.  The depth of her characters and the baggage that they keep with them are so well written it feels like you walk in their shoes.  5 Stars are not enough!!

Neely and Dane were meant to be together, but Dane makes a mistake and breaks Neely's heart in the process. Neely not wanting to see him ever again moves to New York to pursue her dreams and doesn't return to Dogwood Lane for 10 years. 
Dane knows he made a mistake but he can't regret it completely since it brought Mia, his daughter, into his life. They still have amazing chemistry between them, and if only Neely is willing to forgive the past and look towards a future between them, they could be happy again. 
I loved this book. It is a great second chance novel.

The story of Neely and Dane. She is back in town after losing her job in New York. Dane broke her heart years ago, but the attraction is still there when she meets him again.  A second chance romance.

This book was exactly what I needed for my rainy day Sunday read....It ticked all the blocks and I devoured it from start to finish....

* Second Chance Romance 
* Single Dad
* Hot Alpha Male
* Kick-Ass Heroine
* Fantastic Secondary Characters

This book lacked nothing in my opinion and I highly recommend it. 

Neely has recently lost her job in New York City and has decided to go home to Dogwood Lane to spend some time with her mother and get some perspective on her life.

Dane is a single dad, who has never gotten over the fact that he hurt his first love over 10 years ago. He thought he was doing what was best for her at the time and the repercussions of that decision hurt both him and Neely dearly.

A decade later when she strolls back into Dane and his daughter's life, even though he knows she is only home for the short term, he still can't help himself from pursuing her.

Along with a fantastic host of secondary characters, this second chance romance was absolute perfection and once again Adriana Locke has hit a home run.......:)

Dane tries to do right by his girl, “should I walk you to the door? I feel like that’s the gentlemanly thing to do.” Dane looks at me from across the truck with a ****-eating grin. “It’s less of a walk of shame if I do that, right?” I liked this book, I loved Dane and I cant wait to see other characters get stories of their own.

A small town, single dad, second chance Romance all together in the sweet wonderful book!! Adriana Locke is one of my favorite authors and she does not disappoint in Tumble!!

Dane and Neely haven’t seen each other in in almost a decade when he broke her heart. Neely comes back to Dogwood Lane, TN after quitting her job and is trying to figure life out. She runs into Dane her first day back and their journey begins for a second time!

This small town romance has wonderful characters filled with history, Dane’s daughter, Mia, who is just so lovable, and a love everyone dreams of! As Neely tries to find out what she really wants out of life and Dane opens up to how he feels about her- you just fall in love with them and this book! The small little details that Adriana Locke includes in this book keep me wanting more.

Great book! This is Dane and Neely book, Neely is a sports journalist trying to make it in a man's world! Dane is a single dad in construction. Neely comes up with a fantastic new concept in her journalistic field when someone else takes credit for her idea she quits and heads back to her home town called dogwood  lane. Dane and Neely were childhood sweethearts,  when Neely shows up back in town Dane tries to stay away but it's hard when his little girl thinks Neely the bomb and he has so much feeling toward Neely too! This book had everything! It was funny, heartwarming, low drama, and of course 🔥🔥🔥!! Definitely don't miss out on this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
