I adored this so much. Trevor and Haley are so adorable and hilarious, thought Trevor was going to break my heart at one point let alone Haley’s! Well written, tons of chemistry, adorable and relatable characters. Such a joyful happy read, I read it in one day as I needed to know how it ended. This is my first book by Adriana but I’m off to buy her first to this series now. (This was 2nd in a series but can be read as standalone as there was no affect at all having not read the first.)
Fabulous entertaining and happy read. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

What happen when a die-hard romantic woman is on a dating/relationship hiatus and meet a hot single anti-relationship doesn't believe in love man? Well you agree to be just friends, sign a contract on a napkin saying I will not fall in love with you, and you will not touch me, woo me or do anything to make me want to love you.

Hailey is the romantic woman you jumps into relationships with not so great guys and then falls in love with them or so she thinks. She hates being alone so she fills are time with guys and gets attched. Dane her cousin bet her in Tumble (Dogwood Lane Book 1) that she couldn't do dateless for 6 months or he gets to pick her next 3 dates. She is 2 months into her no dating when Trevor enters the picture.

Trevor is a single hot guy who is not into relationships or dating, he prefer to have zero strings attached to his friends with benefits. He always seems to find the crazy clingy types or does he let them on? He is in Dogwood Lane to monitor the building of his father and new stepmother new home. His plan it to spend max of two weeks making sure everything is done to his stepmother's specifications then return home to Nashville.

His first morning in town, he meets the most interesting woman, she is up on her stool leaning over the counter in the cafe with her yoga clad rear on display. It all starts with a carmel glazed pecan covered donut. This starts the banter between them, they run into each other a few times that day and they are both fighting this attraction that neither are looking for.

This book captivated me from the very first chapter. I absolutely loved all the characters and the story line just flowed. I fell in love with this town and the people in it in the first book in this series. This book made me fall in love with all of that even more. Adriana Locke honestly just has a way with words. I felt so much a part of this book and these people when I was reading it. Trevor and Haley were made for each other. The chemistry between them was hot and they just connected as a couple. With the easy flowing dialogue between them and the cute nick names they had for each other. You throw in Trevor's family (I am really hoping Jake gets his own book!) and all of Haley's friends and you have yourself an award winning book. I am counting the days until the next book comes out in this series. I am really hoping it is sooner rather then later. Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

You really need to read the series!

Haley Raynor is so done with today and it has hardly started when the luscious doughnut that she wants has already sold to a stranger art the café. Haley thinks the stranger is the hottest guy she has seen but since her cousin Dane bet her that she wouldn’t date for six months after the failure of her last relationship and it was broken when she met Trevor Kelly. Trevor is in town to oversee the final details for his dad’s retirement home for him and his new wife. Trevor was also using the time to get away from the last woman he dated after the breakup because she was still contacting him.

I totally loved Tangle and the first book in the series, Tumble, because Tangle really shows small towns and how much everybody is friendly and knows everybody else. The next book should be Penn’s story which is a good time guy that I’m hoping falls hard.

Tangle by Adriana Locke is a great book to read so enjoy!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Oh my what a ride! I wanted to hate Trevor but in the end you just love him. Haley has not had the best of luck in the dating field. Then she has instant chemistry with Trevor. However Trevor is not the relationship type. She goes along for the ride in hope of not getting hurt. This book as temptation, weakness, hard truths, and love. Get ready to go for a ride with a girl who stands up of herself.

Tangle brings a romance that is a delight to read. I loved every minute of this book and I think the author did a great job with these characters!

Here is the story of Haley, a character who believes in love and who after having had countless amorous delusions for falling in love with the wrong guys, wants to take time out in love, what she did not expect was to come across Trevor, her complete opposite and who does not believe in love. Two people totally opposite, but they complement each other perfectly!

I loved Haley, she's one of those heroines that I love: fun, smart, romantic, intelligent and who always sees life in a positive way. I think she grew up a lot during the book and I loved seeing her putting herself first. Trevor is a good guy, smart, and some attitude during the book irritated me a little but in the end these two characters gave me great moments and several laughs.

Their journey took place over a short period of days, and that would usually bother me a little, but it did not happen here. I think the author dealt with their relationship so well that I honestly forgot that they met the other day.

Tangle is one of those books that I finished in one sitting and didn't even see the time pass. I laughed, had fun, and fell in love with these characters.

I loved Tevor and Haley!! It doesn't matter what kind of story Adriana writes I'm reading it. Her stories are swoon worthy, happy, sexy, emotional depending on the story.

4.5 No room for Jesus Stars

I'm so damn smitten with this small town romance. Pack me up and help me find Dogwood Lane in Tennessee. We met Haley Raynor in Tumble. I knew I'd like her but, I didn't know I'd develop a full-on girl crush. She's smart, fun and feisty as hell. She is on a six-month dating hiatus when Trevor Kelly blows into town. The girl didn't stand a chance. These two have the hilarious banter and quick wit that I love. Looking forward to more from this series. Hint. Hint. Cough. Cough. PENN 😉

Another winner for Adriana Locke. Trevor and Hayley were adorable together. I always enjoy when the H and h forge a good friendship first. I loved how tangled up Trevor got in his feelings for Hayley. I actually teared up because he was so tortured. He really didn't get it. And Hayley ended up so strong in her conviction. All around fantastic read!

Yet another 5 star read from Adriana Locke. She has created a small town like Dogwood Lane and made it the place you will definitely want to visit, and maybe never leave. With the second in the series, we continue with Haley’s story. So far she’s been unlucky in love and vows not to get her heart broken. Until she meets Trevor Kelly. Trevor is visiting from nearby Nashville and the chemistry between the two is immediate and intense. Locke has created a perfect mixture of comedy and sweetness, with a touch of angst, to give this story just the right amount of intensity to keep readers Tangled.

Tangle is a small town romance, and who doesn't love a small town romance? This is Trevor and Haley's story and book two of the Dogwood Lane series. Honestly, I hope this series never ends! Adriana engages the reader with her wit, humor, and wonderful characters. You won't be able to put it down.

If you haven't read one of Adriana's book, I highly suggest you do. You won't be disappointed.

Loved it, Adriana Locke never disappoints her readers. Her books are a must read. Trevor only wants to be friends and not be in a relationship but Haley breaks that by falling in love.

Tangle by Adriana Locke

I was so excited to be back in Dogwood Lane! I love this small town and all the characters who make it what it is.
I love Haley's determination in everything she sets out to do. She is very strong willed but has a witty and funny side to her which you are drawn to. Trevor was the perfect match for her! A straight up guy who knew what he wanted and wasn't shy about it. In saying that Haley was also the same! They complemented each other so well they both didn't see it coming - Love that is.
A beautiful sweet story that had me captivated from start to finish. I hope you love it as much as I did!

Haley is a small town girl known for falling in love effortlessly and selflessly loving those around her. Her routine trip to the town cafe for her caramel-topped dougnut leads to a spark flying fight with Trevor Kelly, the out of towner who doesn't believe in love. After countless number of random run ins throughout town Trevor and Haley decide to make those run ins not so accidental. The interactions between these two are nothing short of sweet, sexy and funny making it the perfect romantic comedy to get swept up in. As a sucker for small town romances and drool-worthy heroes I couldn't put this story down. Haley was a loveable, strong heroine with equally as endearing friends.
I have yet to read a book by Adriana Locke I haven't loved and can not wait for the next books in this series. Fingers crossed Penn and Grace get their happy ending.

I absolutely loved Tangle. Trevor and Haley had me smiling from the start. I loved their kind of banter! You could feel the yearning and desire grow without the heaviness of all out angst. And Trevor, for however he messed up and the mistakes he made is also a very likeable guy. His attraction undeniable for so many reasons. I also always appreciate when the h is given her own personality and story along with the romance of the couple getting together. Watching Haley struggle and grow and break yet be strong and kind and awesome was fantastic. She is someone I want to be friends with. This is one of my favorites by Adriana Locke. She nailed it! I recommend and will be rereading it again. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

Being back in Dogwood Lane was such a refreshing experience.

Trevor is taking time away to oversee the construction of his dad’s new house. Little does he know, there is more to Dogwood than meets the eye.

Hayley is trying to figure out what she wants out of life. She has always put others first and now it is time to put herself first.

These two together made for some hilarious moments. They way they bicker and the witty comments had me falling in love with them fast. No matter how much they deny it, sparks are flying from the first meeting.

Trevor was a closed off and set in his ways, but there is an underlying reason for all his actions. It actually make my heart break for the younger Trevor.

Hayley was an honest, trustworthy, genuinely good girl, and her love for food made her that much more relatable.

As always, it’s so much fun to see old characters and get glimpses of their future. This sweet town romance was such a great escape and that ending was one for the books. It is going to be hard for any book boyfriend to top that grand gesture.

It's one of the best contemporary romance of 2019. It's a book that you can't put down easily. It has amazing realistic characters with an addicting plot. The story is told by a Dual Pov and the progression of it has a steady pace. The detailing is great and makes you think that you are there living everything first hand. Their smart lines and their funny banters were my favorite parts. I was impressed by Haley's character she was so feisty and independent but so vulnerable at the same time. I loved reading it and I highly recommend it. A MUST read for the summer. I will rate it with 5 bright stars!!!

I fell completely in love with this book. The plot was well planned and the writing was perfection. The characters are easy to relate to and honestly so different from how I thought they were as being secondary characters from the last book. I enjoyed the pace of this beautiful love story and I can't wait for the next book. The humor in this book really brought the story to another level. It has a real life feel but now I need a carmel filled and topped donut. This author has such a talent for small town romances this is one book you won't want to miss.

Adriana Locke keeps you laughing at antics of the characters. Hailey and Trevor fight their chemistry hard but can’t stay away from each other. They are no match for Dogwood Lane and everyone there. They go through many ups and downs and it’s almost impossible to put this book down until you see how/if Trevor proves himself changed in his feelings on love.
