Every time I read a book by Adriana Locke I am sure I won't love it more than the last one...and every time I do!! I enjoyed Haley's character in Tumble and loved seeing her come into her own in this book. Trevor certainly has his own issues to overcome and following the two of them as they navigate thier relationship was nothing short of entertaining. The residents of Dogwood Lane each have such endearing qualities that you cant help but fall in love with each and every one. I am looking forward to many more stories from this crew!

Every story from this author just gets even better than the last!! Tangle completely hooked me from the beginning and I can't say enough wonderful things about it!! I loved the first book in this series, but there was just something about Trevor Kelly and his swoony self that took this book to a whole different level. Such charm and charisma oozed off of him, and it's no surprise that Haley fell for him. He's hands down my favorite Locke hero (sorry Graham.....you're still my favorite Landry), and Tangle has easily jumped to the #1 spot on my favorites list from this author.

Another great book by the always wonderful Adriana Locke. She is the best at writing small town stories, and this is no exception. I also think I found my new number one book boyfriend.

Loved, loved, LOVED the off the charts chemistry and fantastic banter that began the moment our couple meets in this book!!! I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Adriana Locke, but this is by far the best I’ve read from her. The story follows Haley, a woman who wholeheartedly believes in love, and knows that she’s fallen into it too quickly in the past. She’s trying to work on herself and be single for a while, so that the next guy she falls for will be the right one. When she meets Trevor, they have instant chemistry and attraction sizzles between them. But Trevor is a commitment-phobe (though an adorable one), who hates when women don’t heed his warnings and catch feelings for him. They know that romance between them could never work, but that doesn’t stop the connection they feel, and as they have a series of run-ins, it becomes more and more difficult to resist the attraction.

Trevor is such a great guy, so relatable, and that is a true testament to Adriana Locke’s skill as a writer, because a guy who goes around inadvertently breaking women’s hearts should not be a likeable character. His treatment of Haley is great to read, because it becomes clear pretty quickly how women keep falling for him, but also that his feelings for Haley are unlike his past experiences. It’s a slow burn with plenty of heat along the way, and the tension between the two is palpable. There’s never a more tense situation than two people who are feeling the same thing, want each other... but know that they can’t go there. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved reading this fantastic book that shows the complexities of finding love. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series.

I love Adriana Locke's books and I was really looking forward to the second installment of her Dogwood Lane series.

Hayley Raynor has been back in Dogwood Lane for several years after coming back to care for her cousin Dane's daughter. She loves her job at the library, but due to funding cuts, it's possible that she's going to lose her job and she's at loose ends as to what she'll do next. Hayley is also one of those romantics that believes in love and finding that one true love, however she's not sure she'll ever find it due to the fact she's had zero luck lately in that department.

Trevor Kelly works for his family business and while he is normally the one that is always in the office due to his role in finance, he's been sent to Dogwood Lane to oversee the finishing touches on his father and stepmother's new home they are building there. Trevor is the opposite of Hayley, where he doesn't believe in love due to the fact he's seen it fall apart more than be a wonderful thing.

When Hayley encounters Trevor at the Dogwood Cafe, where she's visiting with her good friend Claire that works there, the sparks between them are obvious and instantaneous. With their vastly different views on love, coupled with the fact that he he is in town short term and lives four hours away, it doesn't seem a relationship would be in the cards for them.

You know what they say about best laid plans though. Hayley and Trevor embark upon a romantic journey that leads them where neither one of them ever expected. This is a duo that you are rooting for from the start and you just hope they are able to find a way to make it all work out.

This is a fantastic addition to this wonderful series. I would recommend that you read Tumble, the first book in the series prior to picking up this one, so you have a bit more familiarity with some of the characters. I so enjoyed this book and I look forward to our next journey back to Dogwood Lane!

Hayley is sweet, beautiful, and loving. Unfortunately, her taste in men leaves something to be desired. Trevor is handsome, charismatic, and scared to death of relationships. Sparks fly and witty conversation ensues when they meet for the first time. Can a sweet woman who wants a long-term relationship and a commitment shy man hope to have a future? This incredibly sweet, funny, and at times heartbreaking story true love is a must read!

This is the second book in the series and I really feel that you need to read it from the beginning because you know who all the characters are and some of the things that happen are because of something that happened since the first book, like the bet that Hayley had with Dane and why she was in the no dating hiatus. So we met Hayley in the first book and I liked her in the first book and I still liked her in this book. We meet Trevor and we like him and he sounds hot and for a moment and actually in my instance anyhow there were a couple of times that I wasn't crazy about him, but again not all instances because I did like him. These two had chemistry but Hayley was fighting it because one she was in that bet and two she didn't want to fall in love as she has a bad habit of doing and she needed time to herself, of course that does not last and Trevor did go after her knowing, knowing that he shouldn't and then he has a brain fart and luckily for all he snapped out of it fairly quickly..Did enjoy reading of the secondary characters and will patiently wait for the next story..

Book 2 in the Dogwood Lane Series.

Hayley Raynor has been living in Dogwood Lane for the past 9 years. She came back to look after her cousin Dane's daughter and has been floating between jobs. She loves working at the community library but that may not be an option soon as funding has been cut and she is sure her job will be too.

She also loves her friend Claire who works at the Dogwood Café and especially the specialty doughnuts Claire keeps under the glass dome. Needing a doughnut and coffee hit, Haley waltzes into Dogwood Café fully expecting her doughnut to be ready and waiting but unfortunately the very last one has been purchased by Trevor Kelly who shall henceforth be named "Thief" and who had the embarrassing fortune to witness Hayley's reach over the counter for her doughnut, butt in the air and giving a perfect eyeful of her pink panties.

To say the attraction between these two is blindingly obvious is an understatement but Trevor doesn't believe in love and Hayley has been burnt one too many times. Add the fact that Trevor lives four hours away, a relationship isn't on the cards.

But the heart wants what the heart wants and Hayley and Trevor go on a journey that will reel you in and cheer them on in their pursuit of each other,

Absolutely loved this book, I recommend you read Tumble first as the characters appear in Tangle.

Thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

I found Tangle to be an entertaining story. I like small town read, where everyone knows you. I thought Hailey was such a sweet person, but don't cross her cause she's quite the spitfire. Trevor is so swoon worthy, and he met his match with Hailey. Their banter made me laugh. It was so good getting a glimpse of past characters. Looking forward to the next Dogwood Lane book.

such a fun great story. captivates you from the beginning. Adriana writes such great books. great characters and all around great story.

Oh my stars I absolutely loved this book. Trevor and Haley have such great chemistry and witty banter that I found myself smiling through most of the book. I love Haley’s life advice which is sprinkled through the book which I will sum up as “you have to love and respect yourself before you can expect someone else to”. The ending made me cry happy tears which doesn’t happen very often. Adriana Locke is a master story teller who gives us characters we love and the happily ever afters we crave.

This was a super cute, fun, and quick read, perfect for summer! I have read several of Adriana Locke’s books and I’ve yet to come across one I didn’t like. Her writing is so intentional, funny, and heartfelt. I loved both of these characters from the start. I mean, the first scene included a spat about a donut, so I was all in after that! Can’t wait to read the next in this series!

You know what they say about best-laid plans.....and of course this one is no different - its especially entertaining when you have a hardcore cynic who does not believe in love and a small town girl who wants nothing more than to be loved!!!

I absolutely adore the town of Dogwood Lane and all its resident, and I look forward to visiting it many more times over the course of the next few books.

I loved Haley when we first met her in Tumble. She is this sassy little dynamite package who has a heart of gold. A heart that has been broken more times than she cares to admit. Which is why she is currently on a 6 month no dating ban.

Trevor is a new character to the series. He is in Dogwood Lane to oversee a few last details to his dad's house that is being built by Dane and the crew. When he meets the gorgeous Haley and they banter over the last donut in the coffee shop, he knows he wants her more than anything. However, he has a bit of a reputation as he has no problem getting girls to fall for his charm, its just that he has no intention of taking it anywhere as he does not believe in love at all.

So when the 2 decide to spend some time with each other, there is no other option but to draw up a "contract" to keep things simple between them.

I loved the book from start to finish and now cannot wait for the 3rd installment. Especially if it's going to be Penn's book......whoo hoo

Another amazing small town romance packed with wit, humor and love! This little town has nestled inside my heart and I never want to leave!

Trevor didn’t expect love and wanted nothing to do with long term but one look at Haley and the world makes no sense! Unexpected run ins, annoying ex’s and off the chart chemistry have these two doing things they never planned on but it’s up to Trevor to decide I’d love is worth the fall!?

Tangle by Adriana Locke
“Unexpected love, 5 stars”

Haley is on a man break. She always picks the wrong guys and she’s over it. She wants the real thing or nothing at all. Then Trevor comes along. He ruins her plans. They start out as friends but things slowly turn into more. Haley had no intentions of giving her heart to Trevor but some things cannot be helped.
Trevor doesn’t believe in love. He has never seen it last and he has no intentions of settling down. They Haley comes into his life and turns everything upside down. She makes him question everything he thought he knew. Will he change his tune or will he crush another woman’s heart?
I loved Trevor and Haley. I loved the flirty friendship they had with lines clearly drawn in the sand. Then they said screw it. Both of them knew the score and took the risk. I loved how Trevor actually listened to Haley about what she liked and what she wanted. I loved how she wouldn’t take his crud and stood up for herself. Then you add in the rest of the Dogwood Lane crew and I was sold. Locke hit the ball out of the park with these two.

Per AL's usual, Tangle was fantastic. I loved the dialogue, the characters, the setting, everything. I can't recommend this author enough, and this book was no exception to that rule!

I’ve read all books of Adriana and Tangle is on a different league to the others! She’s like a dust that a fairy sprinkle all over you and you feel light, warm, light headed and you can’t help but fall in love with this book.

I can only describe Trevor is like a sugar! He is soft, fluffy and oozing with charisma whilst Hayley she’s like the cinnamon(spice) to his sugar! They click and you can feel the chemistry but both are blind on what’s going on till both of them realised...Trevor resist and step away on what they have. Hayley is such a strong character and it helped her be a stronger woman she is and she’s loving the new her.

But when Trevor realised his destiny is with her...is it too late for him...

‘My destiny is in your hands...Hayley...’. -Trevor

Adriana makes my heart flutter with this witty romance.

Haley moved to Dogwood Lane to help her cousin raise his child. What's she's learned is that her heart is so big she loves everyone. She even loves the terrible men she has dated in the past. She just want to find the right man love. After a bet with her cousin Dane she is on a dating hiatus. Until the most gorgeous stranger walks in the cafe. Need flirty, fun, and his ego knows no bounds.

Trevor has shown up in Dogwood Lane to oversee his father's and his wife's new home. He is also on the run from a clingy ex. He doesn't believe in LOVE. never. When he steps into the cafe for coffee he is struck by a woman who puts him in his place and is sticking to her convictions.

The rules have been laid out as they each help each other navigate through a new friendship. And there is a time limit set as Trevor must return to Nashville.

Can they stick to their guns in how they view relationships?

Swoon swoon swoooon!
This romance was a little on the sweeter side than I normally go for, but I didn’t mind one bit! I jumped into this one having not read the first in the series and that didn’t affect my enjoyment of this at all - definitely can be read as a standalone. I do want to go back and read Tumble now, not to mention the upcoming third book (so ready to watch Penn fall in love)!

Haley and Trevor were just true perfection. They’re both full of intelligence and wit; their banter made me smile the whole way through. Haley is strong and vulnerable at the same time - she’s also relatable and just fun. Trevor oozes sex appeal but isn’t an alpha-hole - he’s sweet and considerate, too.

The ending had me all heart-eyed and giddy - this is my ideal real life HEA 😍

This book was amazing!!

I want to be Haley!! or at least be BFF's with her. She is one of the warmest, kindest, friendliest and sassiest person I have ever seen. The banter that she and Trevor have on a daily basis was off the charts both in hotness but also wit and charm. I wish I was half as funny as her. She is a woman who is owning what she sees as issues with herself and dating and Trevor isn't playing by the rules. I love that she is trying to decide what she wants to do with her life and what makes her truly happy!

Trevor is the perfect book boyfriend. Not so much on the not believing in love thing in the beginning but everywhere else. I loved how to just happened to bump into Haley everywhere. I especially liked the whole first doughnut meeting.

I also really liked the supporting cast in this book. I LOVED Penn and Jake. Both of these characters brought a fun perspective to the main couple. I really hope there will be more in this series.
