LAWD how I loved the romance and understanding of this book. Trevor was my baby. So lost but found at the same time. Haley gave it to him straight and 100%, what I found funny is that with her his role was always in reverse. He played the role he was used to women playing for him. Ironic and satisfying at the same time.

Gah! Adriana Locke proves once again that she is the QUEEN of small town romance! I was so excited to get this book in my hands after reading book one. Then, Trevor Kelly showed up and I almost swooned to death. Trevor and Haley were just perfection and hit me right in the feels. This is definitely moving to the top of my favorite AL books list. LOVED and highly recommend!

4 Give Your Girl a Donut CROWNS

ADRIANA LOCKE is the queen of the small town romance. Dogwood Lane is becoming one of my favorite places to visit, and I absolutely love the feeling of coming home that these books provide.

Trevor and Haley are so cute together. I loved their banter, their openness with each other. It allowed them to establish a real connection that extended beyond the bedroom. I also enjoyed that Haley stuck to her guns where he was concerned. She is a heroine who learned her worth and made Trevor grovel a bit. I wanted to audibly cheer her on while reading.

The plot is light and easy. The cast of characters make the story entertaining, and the H and h make the romance entertaining, fun and endearing. There weren’t surprise moments; however, I felt like the characters’ hang ups on love and relationship were relatable and authentic.

I truly enjoyed my return visit to Dogwood Lane. Adriana Locke has truly created a town that has a feel good mood, and romances that have an old school romance feel. I can’t wait to return for the next one.

Arc received in exchange for an honest review

Tangle was so fabulous, I read it in one sitting, riding as a passenger on a road trip. It was perfection and I could not put it down. Adriana Locke always creates such relatable and real characters, and Trevor and Haley were no different. I enjoyed them both so much- they were so different but came together so well, and had off the charts chemistry. What a fun ride!

I loved Haley & Trevor so much! Haley is a hopeless romantic. She believes in forever love and happily ever afters. Trevor doesn’t believe in love. He also believes it doesn’t last. So, when he meets the beautiful woman from Ohio in Dogwood Lane, a place he’s visiting for a few days, he’s ready to show her a good time. Haley is in the middle of a sabbatical from men and when she meets the thief who’s stolen her donut. Even if he’s the most handsome man she’s ever laid on, she knows his kind of game.

These two have a great story and their chemistry is undeniable. Haley is strong and determined to set boundaries. I admire Haley and the lines she draws to protect her heart. Trevor learns a lesson in love and has to figure out why his feelings are wrapped up in Haley. Tangled is wonderful and romantic. There are so many different scenes that will have you believing in love and leave you smiling for days.

After reading Tumble and loving Dane and Neely when I heard another one was coming I couldn’t wait but that’s the norm when it comes to Adriana Locke’s Books!

Aw this story melted me. I loved Trevor Kelly- his cocky arrogance but sweet caring side he has that even he doesn’t see really has you swooning!
Haley is my kinda gal - she’s fiery, witty and knows what she wants in life and she ain’t putting up with crap no more !

These two have a connection that can’t be ignored. The chemistry sizzles, the passion builds and builds and is waiting erupt.

A true friendship is built before anything else.

Filled with humor and emotion it’s got all the feels

Can I just say that I absolutely adored Haley and Trevor? They were so perfect together from their very first encounter which was hilarious and amazing. Any man who gives up a delicious donut to you is a keeper unless that man just doesn't believe in love. This was the first book where I actually liked both characters all the way through. In most romances, I end up not liking one of the main characters halfway through before coming back to liking them but it wasn't like that with Haley and Trevor. I did not like how Trevor wooed and pursued Haley when he had no intentions of ever giving her more. She was upfront from the get-go and tried to keep her distance but he wouldn't let it go. But the interactions between them were so sweet and so hot. I loved them together. Haley was so quirky, funny, sweet, and really just amazing. Trevor was a sweetheart too and funny. The chemistry between the two was perfect.

I loved being able to see Neely, Dane, Mia, Penn, and Claire. I would like to see a little more of Matthew but it was nice to see the others. It was good to see Dogwood Lane again. I love books set in the south because it reminds me of home. This was such a sweet read that had me swooning and so happy that I got the chance to read it. I cannot wait for the next book, Trouble.

Ohhh Dogwood Lane is picking up speed!

Where I enjoyed Neely and Dane, this book took me on an even better ride!
A surprise visit from a commitment-phobe in the small town meeting the town serial-faller-in-lover, who has sworn off men.
The unlikely friendship develops and the sparks keep on flying til they ignite.

Realistic couple in the super adorable small town, with real troubles and solutions. Awesome!!

5 “No room for Jesus” Stars

Being back in Dogwood Lane is like breathing a breath of fresh air. There’s just something special about small town life and Adriana Locke is the driving force behind it. With impeccable writing, Trevor and Hayley leap off the pages with their sexy banter, contract, and chemistry that can only be described as combustible. Seriously, if you strike a match between them they will go up in flames. These two couldn’t have been a better fit for each other. She loves love and he wants nothing to do with it. Hayley is one of those sassy characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. And, yes, I may have a wee bit of a crush on her lol. Now Trevor...that man could melt the panties off anyone. Serious swoonage over here. The man only thinks he has his life figured out and I absolutely LOVED how Hayley proves him different. This new series is amazing. Now, bring on PECK! I can’t wait to see what girl brings him to his knees!

Loved it. These books just give me the happy feels! I love this author's writing. She's so good at emotions and characters, the whole thing. I love this town and its people and I can't wait for the next book!

What a heartwarming story with great characters. I love a good small town romance and Tangle does not disappoint. Grab this one and devour it, like I did! You won’t be sorry!

This is book 2 in the Dogwood Lane series and can absolutely be read as a stand alone but since I loved the first book, I recommend reading that one as well! In this one we get Hayley and Trevor's story. Hayley loves everything about love and is just searching for her "one". While Trevor doesn't believe love is real and he doesn't do relationships. But the attraction between them is there, and they decide to spend time together while he is in town. All with a contract.

I loved the first book but I have to say that I think I loved this one even more! Hayley is definitely a sweet character but she has this underlying snark that I loved! They have so much chemistry it just jumps off the page and leaves you wanting more. Trevor may come across as the "bad boy" but he has his own issues to work through and he really is a sweet man. The side characters are absolutely great and even when you are done with the main story, you are left wanting to know more about them. I will definitely be reading more of this series as it comes out!

3.5 stars - This is a good romance that is hampered by the slow telling of the story. It has a slow, meandering start and then it drags again once our H and h have their first date. If you’re an unabridged type of reader, this is will likely be a 4.5 star read for you.

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

I'm never surprised when Adriana Locke rolls out another FABULOUS small town romance. Haley and Trevor take the cake though...and all the donuts too. They are OFF THE CHARTS HOT!! This is the book I'll be recommending everyone reads. I think this maybe Adriana's best yet. It's small town romance meets big time feels and ALL THE SWOONS!

Trevor freaking Kelly has charisma and spark coming out his ears. Trevor Kelly is EVERYTHING. Just his name rolls so smoothly off your tongue. He's everything you'd look for in a smooth book boyfriend, but he's not looking for love. Get this...he doesn't believe in it. Enter Haley, falls in love at the drop of a dime, a romantic at heart. Trevor's met his match in this firecracker. Their chemistry is like Canada Day fireworks. You can't stop them from lighting up each page. I loved everything about this book!

Another fantastic thing about small towns, lovable characters popping in here and there. Dane, Neely, Penn, and Haley all create an adorable family. Adding just the right amount of spice to the mixture, I was cracking up throughout. I'm jumping up on the couch excited for Tangle. Adriana Locke has knocked it out of the park! Get this book!!

4.5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
I liked Tumble, but I LOVED Tangle! This installment in the Dogwood Lane series was sweet and fun and had all that super cute small town charm.

Haley and Trevor were well rounded, likable main characters and every exchange they shared had me feeling entertained. Their chemistry was perfect and their banter gave me a few good laughs. I simply loved their dynamic and the pace in which their feelings changed and grew was completely believable. I really felt the connection between them and I was pulling for them to get together the whole way through.

Tangle had some interesting side characters as well and I wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Locke has more books planned for this series. I for one will happily revisit the characters of Dogwood Lane again in the future should any more books be released.

If you love small town romance with witty humor and charismatic characters, don't miss out on reading Tangle!

This was such a good read! The writing flowed well from start to finish, and I LOVED Trevor and Haley together. They have great chemistry, and you know from the first time they meet, that it's going to be good! Trevor was upfront with Haley from the start, but I feel like he did lead her on. She practically begged him to abide by her rules, but he pushed her boundaries. I was SO happy to see Haley be able to hold her own though. I got a glimpse of her in Dane's story, and she wasn't the woman she was in this one. She had grown so much as a person. I loved that she knew that it was going to hurt, but that she was going to be okay in the end regardless. The ending was very sweet, and perfect for these two!

Tangle has all of the small-town charm, endearing characters, steamy interludes, lighthearted humor and feel-good romance that you’d expect from Adriana Locke, and reading it reminds me why she is one of my favorite authors. Haley and Trevor meet when he comes to Dogwood Lane to oversee a construction project, and their chemistry is instant and blazing hot. Neither is looking to get involved, especially because Trevor is only in town for a short time, so they settle into a playful, very flirtatious friendship. They’re magnetic as they transition from friends to lovers, and you cannot help but cheer for them every step of the way. Memorable secondary characters provide additional entertainment and warmth and makes Tangle absolutely irresistible. Don’t miss Adriana Locke’s latest.

4.5 Stars
This is the second book on the series and it's just as good as the first. After getting to know Haley in the first book I was looking forward to her book. I was hooked right from the beginning. Trevor and Haley have a lot of chemistry. There is one problem she believes in love and for ever and he doesn't. That is just a recipe for disaster, but or is it? I really enjoyed the humor in this book. I love the sense of humor the characters have. I also loved catching up with the characters o f the previous book ans see how they're enjoying their HEA. That's one of the reasons I love a series. Trevor sometimes that man makes me want to smack some sense into him, but of course his past has made a big impact on his views of love, but he never thought about what happens when he finds the right woman to love. The epilogue was absolutely perfect and one these two characters deserved.

I am huge fan of all things Adriana Locke. Also, I am a sucker for a small town romance, and the first book in this series was absolutely amazing. So picking this one up was a no-brainer. I am so so glad I did! Adriana delivers an amazingly sweet, fun read full of characters you can't help but love.
Haley is my kind of girl. She is sweet, caring, and quick with the sassy wit that will have you laughing out loud. I could so see myself as her in this story.
Treavor is all the SWOON! I couldn't help but fall for his sweet charm. While at times he frustrated me to no end, I still fell fast and hard for him.
Tangle is my favorite in this series so far. I have a feeling this is one of those series that starts out strong and only gets better as it goes. I can't wait to see what Adriana brings us next!

A book about a girl who falls too hard falling for a man who is set on his ways of not committing but who changes after realizing what love is? This book was right up my alley and I loved it. Haley and Trevor were everything I needed to read right now and I can’t express how much this helped me look at things in a different manner. I haven’t gotten around to reading the first book in the Dogwood series so I jumped into the second without having much backstory on some of the already developed characters but the author wrote this in such a way that I didn’t feel like I was missing out. Although you all should go read both these books, if you want to dive into Tangle first, then feel free to do so!
