Wow! What a fabulous read this was! This was by far the best book I have read by this author, and I love all her books! It was wonderfully angsty and naughty too, just what I’ve come to expect and love from Ms. Locke. Straight to my favorites shelf!

I’ve been a fan of Adriana Locke since I first picked up book 1 of the Landry series. I moved on to love Gibson Boys ans I think in the end I will love Dogwood Lane too!

This book was very well written and made you fall in love with a small southern town. It had a great cast of characters that will set up well for a great series. While I really liked this book I found myself completely unable to cheer for Dane and Neely. To me.. what Dane did was unforgivable and totally turned me off the character. I felt icky reading about him no matter how amazing he grew up to be. Cheating is a hardline for me in life and in my guilty pleasures. It just took me out of the story. I think overall this will turn into a great series... especially of the author stays away from this trope in the future.

I have heard good things about this author and I was excited to read this book. Sadly it didn’t work out in my favor. Don’t get me wrong it started off strong and I LOVE me a second chance romance but when I found out the secret that the hero was hiding that was too much for me to come back from and I pretty much checked out of the story. I get that he was sad about the breakup with the main character but did he have to do what he did with that person? Ugh. Thank you for allowing me the review copy. So sad this book didn’t work out in my favor.

I have always loved anything written by Adriana Locke, but I have to say this story really stole my heart.
From the first page we are sucked in to this story and never really let go. Dane and Neely have a cute typical small town past until she is getting ready to head off to college and Dane does something really really stupid. Fast forward to a few years and Neely is back and things just become all mixed up.
For those of you who love second chance romances this is absolutely a must read! Fall in love with not just Dane and Neely but also with Dogwood Lane and those who inhabit this cozy little town.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

It has been a while since I read an Adriana Locke book so I am going to go back and do some catching up. Basically girl comes back to town after 10 years when she left with a broken heart, she bumps into ex where he apologizes in a “sorry but not sorry” way. The book has some angst with some steam. Mia is adorable, way to mature for her age but cute nonetheless.
This story is a going back to your small hometown second chance sweet romance with great characters and dialogue. A feel good story that you know is going to have a happy ending.
Thank you netgalley and publisher for providing me with this ARC

4.5 stars for me. Loved this one.

This was a great easy read. Second chance small town romance with gorgeous single dad & great female lead. Yes please! I loved their banter. The slowburn feel of the book and the regrets, feelings that were exposed and explored. Neely and Dan were well rounded characters with well thought out dialogue and plenty of chemistry. Add in a super cute daughter, meddling friends and you've got a fantastic story.

Great first series book.
Dane, Neely and Mia story is heartbreaking. I a second chance love for child crush - high school sweethearts and small towns lovebirds.
Neely is passionate and a strong woman, Dane is a soft hearted man that love his sweetheart so much he have to let her go and Mia is the reason they split appart and the glue to the family. You will love this story, the friends and family give roots to Dogwood and make you smile.
I can't wait for more of this series.
I received a ARC from Netgalley for a honest review.

My favorite part of Adrianna's writing is the wit, grace, and love she grants to all her characters. This new series is no exception. Dane and Neely are super sweet, and I loved the ending!

I will read anything and everything that Adrianna writes. Dogwood Lane is just my newest favorite of hers. I can't wait to come back when she writes love stories for Matt, Penn, Haley, and Claire. I want them all!

Why I haven’t read Adriana Locke before? Because Tumble is definitely a book crush to me…
A story about second chances with two high school sweethearts who had such a promising future until they didn’t. The consequences of being young and not enough mature to take a chance on love and what’s life has to offer.

Neely had so big dreams, to leave Dogwood Lane and to live her passion, and being crushed in the way. When she had to come back home, all the heartbreak she left and buried deep inside reappeared and while it was easier to leave without looking back, this time was completely different. She was passionate about her dream job, caring but so unlucky to move on, like her heart was waiting to find its other half.

Dane was the man who supposed to be her forever until he broke her heart. With such an heavy past between them, and all the anger left, his feelings for her never change, and unconsciously his actions meant it all. Gravitating around her, attracted like a moth to a flame. The single dad couldn’t risk his heart for a woman who was so adamant to leave so quickly. Raising his daughter alone, trying to give her the best of himself… swoon, swoon, swoon!!

Neely and Dane reconnected in a powerful way, and had so much to learn from each other. Making you fall in love with this town and all the people who I’m sure have so many things to share in the future. His daughter was such a ray of sunshine.

This story was definitely my kind of romance. Meaningful, passionate, heartbreaking with so many feels. The author made me believe it, how love can conquer all. It’s never too late to find happiness, and home is just a place but the people who gave you everything without expecting anything in return. I have so much love for this book, so much! Can’t wait for more!!

So, I have mixed feelings about second chance romances. This one was tough in the beginning bc what happens when things end originally are tough to swallow. I was pretty annoyed with it all. Honestly, I don’t think I would have given Dane a second chance if I was Neely. Hormones be damned. But, with that being said the rest of the book is a sweet story about a couple still in love finding their way back to each other. It’s well written and the secondary characters are all great additions to the story (especially sweet Mia). Adriana is awesome at writing stories filled with characters that add to the book and remind you of a family. I look forward to reading the next book now that I’m invested in the people living in this small town.

This isn’t my favorite book by this author but I did enjoy it for the most part. 👍🏻👍🏻

What I liked:
The writing style
The supporting characters
Dual POVs
Part of a series: Dogwood Lane
Standalone
HEA
Epilogue

I had a hard time getting past what kept Dane and Neely apart, Dane's explanation, and Neely's reaction.

Adriana Locke has done it again! She has written another perfect story. Tumble is a second chance romance. It's a second chance for Dane and Neely, love story imploded 10 years earlier. This author never fails to write such believable, real, down to earth characters. I read this book feeling like I had a front row seat to someone's real life story, complete with all feels. This is a MUST read!

A super sweet and quick read. The story is prefectly flowing therefore I finished rather quickly. It was a perfect happily ever after read.

Well if you are like me you love Adriana Locke ... what’s not to love really!

This book does not disappoint, the story of Dane and Neely is one that sends you through an array of emotions. You start feeling really bad for Neely knowing what happened in the past ( trying not to give away too many spoilers ) . Then you begin to feel for both of them . I had to adult during reading some of this book and It definitely through me through the emotional loop, these characters make you feel!

What an amazing story! It’s one you need, and I mean NEED to read!

Adriana Sure knows how to pull at the heartstrings.

Neely has moved on from her life in Dogwood Lane. She has her fancy life in New York, and is only planning to stay a couple of days to visit her mother.

Dane has his life in Dogwood Lane and wouldn’t trade it for anything. He only has one regret, but even that regret comes with the greatest thing in his life!

Neely was strong willed and set in her ways. She knows what she wants and goes after it. She isn’t willing to settle and knows that she deserves the best.

Dane is such a great dad, he tries to put everyone else’s needs above his own. He is a care taker, and sometimes it backfires.

The chemistry between these two was apparent from the start. I was rooting for them from the first page, and couldn’t get enough of their story. If you love small town, second chance romances, then this one is a must read.

What a beautiful start to a new series!
I'm a huge second chance fan and combine that with Adriana's telling of their story, it was a very enjoying read. Their reconnection after years apart, building lives and making memories, but deep down inside their love for each other was never gone. I did have an issue with the way they parted years ago. Not a fan of that plot twist. 
The introduction of the other characters really has me excited for more in the series.

What a bomb that gets dropped. My heart went into my stomach with sadness.

Second chance romance are always a hit or miss. You have to bring the angst and that raw emotion of the past. This author does that perfectly.

The one thing this author is exceptional at is writing secondary characters that you fall in love with.

Of course you love the two main characters, Dane and Neely but gosh you have to love Haley, Penn and Matt so much. Since this is book one I’m guessing someone will be getting their own story and I can’t wait.

I'm a huge fan of Adriana Locke so when I saw she had a new series coming out. Yesss Please, Sign me up! It's a terrific start for a new friend /family-centric series. It's got the small town setting that we love from Adriana. It's a second chance romance with a single dad. Do I need to say more? It's a light-hearted read full of sweet moments that will have your heart melting. I was living for the moments with Mia. She's too damn loveable.

I'm excited about all their stories but, I'm the most excited for Penn's. He's the Peck of this series. For those who don't know who Peck is, he's from The Gibson Boys series. His book is up next in that series and, I'd say it's the most anticipated one yet.

What a great book!! I love the chemistry the characters had. Not just the main characters either. All the characters meshed so well. I can't wait to see who is featured in book 2. The rich story, and superb writing has this book listed as a must read. I typically don't like second chance romance, at all, but this book has me rethinking it. This story is told in dual pov.

4* Second Chance Love Stars

I really enjoyed this small town romance story. The characters are so likeable and you will fall in love with them all. This second chance at love between Neely and Dane is heartfelt and realistic. I was rooting for them all the way.

I highly recommend this well written and easy flowing love story with low angst and a bit of sexiness.

I am excited to read what Adrianna brings us next in the Dogwood Lane series as there are a few very interesting characters who needs their story told, especially Penn!

Many thanks to Montlake Romance and NetGalley for my copy to read and review.
