5 Small Town Stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Trevor Fn’ Kelly!

That is all!

Ha!

Adriana has written another gem with Trevor and Haley. From the first chapter she draws you in with the banter and ease the pair share. Nonstop laughs at their interactions with everyone they cross. I love that all the prior characters play such a pivotal role in this installment of the series.


Everyone and all the issues they experience make this one of the most relatable stories to read. The way Haley views relationships and love are such a common thing as well as Trevor’s dislike of the L-word. Their honesty and passion made for a great read.

Dane took a piece of my heart in Tumble, now Trevor is claiming a bigger chunk. By the time we get to Penn, the Dogwood crew will own it. Such a well written book that makes you realize appreciating boundaries and sometimes how bypassing all of them and the rules, will lead you down a path of ultimate happiness.

Tangle is book 2 in the Dogwood Lane series. This is Haley, who you may remember as Dane’s cousin if you read Tumble and Trevor.

Haley has had horrible luck when it comes to dating, so she is done with it, she is taking a break. Trevor doesn’t believe in love. Everyone around him has been in a relationship that hasn’t worked out. So what happens when promises are written on napkins and a new friendship forms?

Haley, she was one sassy little firecracker and I LOVED that about her. She wasn’t afraid to give what she got, even if it was to a complete stranger. The banter between her and Trevor was fantastic and I loved the chemistry between the two of them. Trevor, the doughnut thief, was a man all about one-night stands. He didn’t do relationships, especially with his past and the relationships he has seen around him.

This book had me laughing, it was sweet, and it will leave you smiling. I love the little bits and pieces of Dane and Neely and glimpses into more of the Dogwood Lane characters. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Penn. I think that man may finally meet his match.

Tangle a perfect small town romance and a MUST READ for the summer!

Trevor goes to Dogwood Lane to oversee construction on a house for his dad and dad's new wife. One of the first people he meets is Haley. Immediate chemistry and just the right amount of teasing each other, plus a pact to not get involved, add up to a very fun read. Another great book in this series. More fun characters in this sweet little town, and lots of appearances from ones introduced in Tumble. I'd recommend reading that first, but wouldn't say it's necessary.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Tangle is a fantastically cute read. I love how Haley and Trevor meet. The banter between them is so delightful and sexy at the same time. Neither is looking to get involved. Haley is just this light force you can't help but to love and looking to focus on just herself. Trevor is swoonworthy and charming you get the feeling he doesn't know what he is looking for in life. I love this one. Haley and Trevor are so sweet together. I couldn't put this one down. I love the changes with Haley and Trevor throughout. Dogwood Lane is fast becoming my favorite feel good series especially after reading this one. Go one click this one.

Coming back to Dogwood Lane is always sweet. Coming to Dogwood Lane with Trevor Kelly made it even better. I love how Addy writes her heroes and heroines. These two are a perfect match! I can’t wait for the next Dogwood Lane book!

OMG. Talk about feels! Adriana Locke is a master at giving me All. The. Feels and Tangle certainly did not disappoint. Trevor Kelly is pure fire, and Hayley is the sassy, loveable heroine we all want to be. Just the right mix of push and pull, heat and angst, Tangle is a must read this summer. One of my favourite things about Adriana Locke is that the secondary characters and the location of her books become just as important to you as the Hero and heroine, so I cant wait to go back to Dogwood Lane!

This series just got better with Tangle. I absolutely loved Trevor and Haley. The friendship they built was so sweet and made for a perfect slow burn. Haley’s growth as a character really stood out to me. I loved her in Tumble and I’m so happy she found her HEA in Trevor. I can’t wait for Penn’s book!

Siiigh... Adriana Locke has done it AGAIN!

Having read Tumble before starting this, I already knew Haley from her supportive role to Dane and Mia in it. And just like in Tumble, Haley in Tangle was fun, witty, entertaining, and in love with love. Even if she sucks at finding men that are good for her. From her vow of not having a boyfriend in Tangle, to her contract with Trevor to not fall in love here, her development and continuity as a strong-willed, determined to find what's best for her character, were perfect.

And Trevor? Gah! Prince freaking Charming. EXCEPT-- he hates love!

What could possibly go wrong with a lover of love, and a hater of love, having off the charts chemistry and making a deal to not go there?

The banter, conversations, sizzling chemistry, and tension in this were amazing. Which is something I've come to expect from a book by Adriana.

I highly recommend this if you are new to her work. And if you're a returning reader, you already know that Adriana Locke never fails to bring these small town characters to life in a BIG way in your mind and heart. Grab Tangle when you can because I guarantee you'll fall head over heels for another dynamite couple brought to life by Adriana Locke.

After reading Tumble I desperately wanted to know more about Haley, the sweet girl that gave up her life to come take care of her little cousin. Let me tell you that this book did not disappoint!

Haley has a problem in which her past boyfriends are kind of awful. She just attracts the wrong type of guys and since she loves love she sticks with them even though they are not right for her.

Trevor does not believe that real love exists. He has seen what "love" can make people do and is determined to never let himself fall into that pit and is always 100% honest with the ladies that he has relations with about the fact it will never be more than casual.

What happens when a girl that loves love and a guy that vows not to be in a relationship somehow come to deeply feel for each other? Read the book to find out!

All in all, I DEFINITELY recommend that you check this out and see what happens. I will not give anything a way but know that this is a sweet but super hot romance with a great plot!!

PS: Thank you Adriana Locke and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

Haley and Trevor are a wonderful couple, who are perfectly matched, despite seemingly being totally unsuitable. As with all books by this author, the writing is of a high standard, the pace holds your attention and the characters are charming and engaging, except when they aren't meant to be!

The book is an entertaining read, you can feel the emotions of the characters and are soon drawn in by it all. It's fairly slow burn but worth the wait.

Tangle was a great follow up to Tumble! Small town romance and amazing characters make this a great book! Haley and Trevor's story was so entertaing and kept me so involved in their developing relationship. Appearances from previous characters and ones we hope get their own book round out this great read! Looking forward to more from the Dogwood Lane gang!

Wow. My second book of the Dogwood Lane series and I loved it.

We follow quite a journey between Haley, a huge romantic at heart and Trevor, the anti-romantic. Making a contract between them seemed like an easy solution until they started to have feelings for each other.

But Trevor didn't want that because he lived so far away, so how could he make this work? This long-distance relationship?

Haley knew she couldn't develop feelings. She always did in the past and she was always hurt.

This book is a great summer read. With witty banter, hilarious side characters (hello, Penn, nice to see you again) and the wonderful people of Dogwood Lane, you'll fall in love with this series. I was also excited to meet again the characters of the previous book - Tumble.

4.5 stars.

I absolutely loved returning to Dogwood Lane in Tangle, and I loved Trevor and Haley even more than Dane and Neely.

The small-town feel of Dogwood Lane makes me want to go there myself, and the cast of characters is so enjoyable.
I also liked getting to know the Kellys. A book for Jake perhaps?

What I loved the best was the banter between Trevor and Haley. It was fun and witty, a bit snarky at times...so basically, perfection.

All I can say is Penn's book better be next. I am DYING for it. Please, please, please!

Adriana does it again.

The wit, I love the wit.

Haley is witty, sassy, and smart.

Trevor is a Prince who doesn’t believe in happily ever after.

The sexual tension erupts in the opening scene and is present throughout the story.
The characters have depth and are relatable.

This is an easy read that had me up all night.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Honestly, I couldn’t put this book down.
Since I read Tangle before Tumble, I’m off to read Tumble as I anxiously wait for the next installment in this series.

5 Star review of Tangle (Dogwood Lane #2) by Adriana Locke
Tangle was well written and full of love, romance, laughter and the opportunity for Hayley Raynor and Trevor Kelly to fall in love. I really liked Hayley and Trevor, both separately and together.
There was not a thing that I didn’t love about this book. From the first page to the last I was absolutely captivated by the story that Adriana Locke wove and read this in almost one go. I love small town romances and when you throw characters like Trevor and Hayley, it really is a winning combination.
I loved how swoon worthy Trevor was, he just ticked all the boxes for me. Hayley is a hopeless romantic, funny, smart and would be a great woman to call friend. Does she dare take a chance on a fling with Trevor who does not believe in love or will she get a broken heart?
There was so much humour and seriously hot shenanigans in this book that you cannot help but fan yourself. I love Dogwood Lane and Adriana Locke really brings it to life for me. I for one cannot wait to read more in this series.
I received a copy from the publisher through Netgalley.

As usual Miss Locke gives us a an amazing story with wonderful characters! this story is going to make you swoon and smile all the way to the end!

Tangle is the second book in Adriana Locke's Dogwood Lane series. This story follows Haley, a 20 something trying to figure out what she wants to do in life, and Trevor, a construction exec in town to help finish his father's house. The two become friends and agree that Haley won't fall in love and Trevor won't do anything to make her fall.

I absolutely adored this book. Haley and Trevor are the perfect book couple. Haley is super relatable and Trevor makes you swoon and want to smack him upside the head at the same time. The book is written in dual first person perspective which is my favorite.

Tumble, the first book in the series, was well written but I had some issues with the hero and his past actions that made it somewhat difficult for me. Tangle is just as well written but without any of those other issues. I can't wait for the rest of this series!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Hayley was first introduced to us in the first book in the Dogwood Lane series, Tumble, and I just knew her story was going to be a winner! Here's this hopeless romantic who falls in love at the drop of a hat. She's sweet and kind and everyone can't help but love her. Who knew she would also turn out to be feisty and sassy and not above being mean, especially if someone tries to get between her and her beloved doughnut?

Trevor Kelly is the quintessential no strings, bad boy that all the ladies can't help but fall for. Too bad he doesn't believe in love, AT ALL. Why shackle yourself to one woman for the rest of your life when you can keep things fresh and interesting with a different lady all the time?

The attraction between Trevor and Hayley was instant. The chemistry is off the charts. The sexual tension? Holy Moley… I was dying for them to just give in to their lust and get it on!! But at the same time I worried so hard for Hayley's heart because she was really no match for Trevor. He pursued her relentlessly, even knowing exactly how she felt and with a damn contract written on a napkin, no less!

Adriana takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions in this installment of the Dogwood Lane series. The whole gang is around again in this book, and you can't help but fall in love with all of them all over again. And man, that Penn Etling… I am dying for his book!!

I gotta admit, I loved this book even more than the first! No offense to Dane and Neely, but I just connected so completely with Trevor and Hayley, I was rooting for them something fierce! Be prepared to laugh, and swoon and want to choke someone, and yes, you might even cry at the end! Happy tears, I promise!

This is a perfect summer, fun read. It's got the lure of small town charm, romance, passion, some angst, an awesome cast of characters, and old Blue still laying in the middle of the road!

Great job, Adriana! I'm so excited for the next book!

Many thanks to Netgalley for an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Book 2 of the Dogwood Lane series is just as great as Dane and Neely's story!

Haley and Trevor are absolutely sweet and sexy together! From the moment they meet the sparks and energy between the two are just great. Adriana Locke writes these two characters in an awesome way giving their insights into everything and it is simply sweet and sexy. You cannot read this book and not picture the smiles and smirks these two are definitely giving one another. I love a book that you can feel that chemistry between the characters and this book did thta and much more.

While Haley is trying to stay strong and not date for six months- yeah it's a bet she made with her cousin, Dane- of course she meets Mr. Irrestitable! Trying to look and not touch might be easier when Trevor admits to being the exact type of man she is currently try to steer clear of- the draw you in, love and leave them type. Trevor admits he doesn't do love and never will. Haley wants love and no longer satisfied with being toyed with by the likes of men like Trevor.

It is very difficult for these two to stick to their guns when - again Locke does an amazing job- these two are fireworks and chemistry.

I just loved this story and the folks of Dogwood Lane. The connection of all the townspeople is another draw to the story. this is a great series and I look forward to more from this gang.
