Sweet romance following Haley Raynor, an idealistic romantic, who is in love with love, as she tries desperately not to fall in love with Trevor Kelly, a self confessed commitment phobe who thinks there is no such thing as true love. They meet, they feel the mutual attraction, and they leave well alone. Not for long though. A contract on a napkin sees to that. Wonderful words, beautifully written, a story that’s funny and sexy, two people made for each other, and a super cute, successful, sexy book boyfriend who can’t see the wood for the trees. I loved it, it was entertaining, addictive, a light easy read, perfect for the beach. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This is my first time reading a book by this author! But it will not be my last I loved this book so much can I give it 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved Haley and Trevor so much!! I can’t believe this romance began over a doughnut and a contract to not fall in love but end up in love so good

I loved this book. I loved watching Haley grow into herself and figure out what she wants from life. Haley had one of the best character developments I have seen in a book in a long time. I also loved seeing Trevor deal with the two sides of himself on the stance of falling in love, it was written so truthfully. I loved the angst and humor in Trevor and Haley's relationship, but watching their relationship grow was amazing. Overall I loved this book and I'm so excited for the next book in the series.

Oh how do I put into words my love for this book? I was expecting to really enjoy this book because hello Adriana Locke, she's one of all time favorite authors! Instead I am blown away!!! It started with a doughnut, the one Haley wanted but Trevor had. That's when we see how feisty and sassy Haley is. She is awesome! Trevor, never gonna settle down, doesn't believe in love, Trevor. He doesn't know what hit him. It was an absolute joy to watch their story unfold. Get ready to laugh, maybe get a little teary, and you will definitely swoon.

I absolutely loved this story! I related so much to Haley and her desire to find love. I saw so much of myself in her. Adriana does an excellent job of creating both a heroine looking for love but being a strong woman at the same time. My favorite love stories are those where the hero thinks he doesn’t want love and then meets his match in the heroine and falls to his knees. That’s this story. Trevor doesn’t believe in one love for a lifetime while Haley believes in the fairy tale. Can Haley get Trevor to believe in love? You’ll have to read to find out. ;) Because how Adriana unfolds the story is epic and slow burn and so incredibly sweet. Now I can’t wait for the next books in this series!

Trevor Kelly is the ultimate anti love specimen, watching him unfold and grow and fall in love was so amazing!!!! This book is worth so many more than 5 stars! Adriana Locke brings her A game, as usual, with this Amazing second installment of the Dogwood Lane series!!!!

In my opinion, you should absolutely hurry to your preferable book retailer and indulge in this beauty. Reading the back and forth between Trevor and Haley, is witty, fun and will keep you up wanting more!!! Hurry, go get it, you can thank me later 😉

Trevor is always willing to give his girl some insight, “let me give you a little insight into the mind of a man,” he says, twisting to face me. “When a man tells you that you look pretty, he means it. And odds are it has very little to do with your shirt.” The man thinks he's a comedian, “is this a sexual hangover? I eff you three times and you wake up sick? I’ve heard this happens.” I liked this book, I loved Trevor.

THIS book!!! If there is only one book that you read all year, this should be it! Be still my small town, country loving heart! I fell in love with Trevor Kelly instantly. He is exactly what romance book dreams are made of. The journey to HEA for Trevor and Haley was so incredibly endearing. Everything about this story touched my heart. It is sexy, heartbreaking, heartmending, and will give you all of the feels. It is no secret that I devour any and everything that Adriana Locke publishes. This book though? It now sits securely at my absolute favorite #1 book of all time. Even the supporting characters in this book are amazing! You get to follow up with Dane (Haley's cousin) and Neely (Dane's wife) from Tumble (Book 1 in the series), Claire (waitress at the Dogwood Cafe), Jake (Trevor's brother), Penn (Dane's best friend) and Grace (Haley's best friend). I have already read this book twice. I loved it THAT much! I wouldn't change a single thing about this book. Except maybe the "The End" part because I could've read about this 2 endlessly. One of my absolute favorite parts of this book:
When I saw you at the cafe, I was scared to touch you.
Then I touched you and I was scared to have you.
Then I had you and I was scared to love you. And now I love you and it's like winning the best prize in the entire universe. No, the best prize will be when I finally convince you to have my baby.
Love me forever, will you?
I mean, MAJOR SWOON!!! How can you not fall in head over heels love with this man?!?! Of course, there are books that you read and like or even love. Then there are books that you connect with, devour in one sitting and even though their story is wrapped up perfectly, you still crave more. That is what this book did for me! I cannot wait for the next book in this series and of course to see more of Trevor and Haley along the way. Adriana brought these characters life and made them so real that you wish that you actually knew these people. She is an absolute master at small town romance and this book, for me is her very best yet!!! I cannot recommend this book more. Grab it ASAP and fall in love with Trevor, Haley and the rest of the Dogwood Lane crew!!!!

Gahhhh I love Haley and Trevor! I'm a huge fan of Ms Locke. Love how she took is back to Dogwood Lane.
Can't wait for more. Thanks Netgalley for the Arc

Omg if I thought I loved tumble .... tangle takes the cake! Adriana Locke has outdone herself again!

It’s easy to get sucked in to all that is Haley and Trevor. Their chemistry is instantaneous. You can feel the heat through the pages. Haley has been burned before and tells Her cousin Dane she is on s dating hiatus . Little did she know she would meet the tempting Trevor. Trevor has been burned before especially by his mom.

Sparks fly but the put rules into place to keep from crossing the line... but how long can that last?
I am a huge Locke lover, this book is all you expect and more.... it’s a must read,!!!!!!

ARC Kindle Copy for Review from Net Galley and Montlake Romance.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Haley Raynor bad day was only going to get worse since the cream donuts she was eyeing was already sold out. The owner of said donut Trevor Kelly hears her pathetic story and gives her his donut.

She is a romantic and he just in town for a week. The chemistry heats up as they end up having a fling. What will happen at the end of the week when he goes? Can a girl have her donut and love at the same time?

Once again Adriana Locke brings us small town love to life and cream filled donuts.

Adriana Locke takes us back to Dogwood Lane! Haley is super smart, funny and has a big heart, but is still trying to figure out her life. Trevor is , handsome and smart and a bit of a ladies man. His only downfall is he doesn’t believe in love or living HEA. Haley is a romantic and wants to have a relationship that could lead to marriage and kids but Trevor is not that person. Can they make it work? Or will they stay just friends?

I found the first book Tumble to be sweet and adorable but this book..... This book is on a whole different level! Who knew Haley could be a sassy firecracker? Definitely not me but man was I living for it! I love when a side character in a previous book surprises the hell out of you once they get their own story. Tangle in my opinion was way more enjoyable than Tumble because this reader related more to these main characters and loved the sexy, sassy banter and the whole runner/chaser dynamic. 5 stars and all the heart eyes!!!

It was okay. Really couldn’t get into the story line. Almost felt like it wasn’t fleshed out enough. Like we got the bases of everything but not the good stuff.

<B>No room for Jesus ⭐️</b>

I can count on one hand the number of my most favorite authors of all time and Adriana Locke is definitely one of them. ❤️

Tangle is even better than <a href="https://mypinkfairytales.com/tumble-dogwood-lane-1-by-adriana-locke/">Tumble</a> and I could bet my life Pen & Grace’s story will be the best of the series.

Ok, so Haley and Trevor.
She’s smart. Really smart. Funny as hell, gorgeous and her dry wit is impossible not to admire.
Trevor is <i>Prince Charming</i>-material, drool-worthy, also super intelligent and his banter with the heroine makes this book deserve way more than 5⭐️.
He has a big problem, though. He doesn’t believe in the idea of happily ever after, of falling in love and wanting to be with that same one person for the rest of his life.
So, what do you do when you actually find your true match? You sign a contract, of course. 😂

This is one of the reasons that makes this story so incredibly good. Besides the humor of the situation, i was blown away by the heroine’s strength. I mean, things were crystal clear. They were highly attracted to one another, she wanted that kind of love that could possibly lead to marriage and kids and he did not. So she made his follow some rules, like no compliments, no touching and flirting and if there wasn’t room for Jesus between them, he was too close. 😂

The whole story is basically this huge ball of sexual tension, the attraction dance of two people whose brains and bodies pull them in different directions, a high dose of humor, quick wit banter and there you go. How could you not want to read this? HOW? It’s beyond amazing! ❤️

Mark your calendars: <b>July, 2nd!</b> and trust me, you don’t want to miss your chance. Pre-order it now.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a decent romance. Both characters meet at a coffee job and the attraction is instant but both guard their hearts due to past heartache. Although they both agree to no touching, no compliments and talks of a future together they fall prey to their desire and emotions.
I wasn't crazy about the hero, he seemed to indecisive and immature. On one hand he wants no complications but he's constantly seeking her out and touching her with affection. Seems too inconsistent with his character.

"I want her to want me the same way I'm wanting her, even though I know it's fucking stupid. And unfair. And illogical. But she doesn't. And I shouldn't."

I have to say, I have a girl crush on Hayley. She had me cracking up in the first chapter and I never stopped. Especially when she's with her bestie Claire. Please tell me she'll get her own book, pretty please? I can't wait to meet the man that can handle her...and Hayley since they are a package deal. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

Hayley is a ray of sunshine and it takes a lot to get her down. Well, at least that's the case if you don't wake her up early. She's not a morning person, but she's full of love and laughter the rest of the time. Unless her heart's broken. That's happened quite a lot actually. She's a romantic and believes in love, if only she could find a man that did as well.

As she's bent over the counter begging for the cream-filled, caramel-topped doughnut, ass in the air, her bestie "didn't bother to blurt out a 'hot guy' or 'sexy stranger' warning. Nope, said sexy stranger gets a birds-eye view of said ass. She might have been too flustered in embarrassment if it didn't become quickly obvious that he was going for her doughnut. After the morning she'd had she wasn't giving up without a fight and proceeded to turn her charms on the gorgeous stranger. Calling him a thief might not be the best plan for most, but he couldn't resist her sass or her ass... which looked sweeter than the doughnut.

The only problem with that memorable first meeting was that he didn't do relationships and she didn't do one-night-stands. They were attracted to each other, but there was no future for them, especially with him only being in town for a week. It might have been easier for them to resist the temptation if they didn't keep running into each other. "My resolve weakens as he uses that damn dimple as a weapon. Finding the part of my brain responsible for logic under all the sexual frustration is nearly impossible."

They weren't the only ones frustrated. I wanted to light a match next to them because I'm sure that's all it would take to turn the spark into an explosion. But, at the same time, the witty banter and negotiations between them were pretty damn entertaining. Just wait until you read the terms of their 'no falling in love' contract, you're gonna be joining me in my giggle-fest.

There are so many colorful characters in Dogwood Lane that this amazing series could go on and on, and I hope it does. I got a glimpse of where I think it's headed next and I'm so excited to find out if I'm right. The line forms here...

Another great read in this series! Full of laughs and sexy banter. Trevor and Haley’s chemistry was hot! Hooked from the beginning! Definitely worth the read!

I was given this book from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

This was a fun, quick, easy read. Boy comes to town, meets girl, lots of witty banner ensues. Girl likes boy. Boy likes girl. But neither wants to risk their friendship. This is a fun trope to read, even if it does get predictable.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, if it falls into your preferred genres. This isn’t a book to convert people who don’t already like romances. Would I read it again? Maybe.

5 Stars!!! I received an ARC of this book and couldn’t wait to read it. I am a big fan of this author and have been looking forward to this since Tumble was released. In Tangle, Adriana Locke takes us back to Dogwood Lane. Haley is a small town girl going through the motions of life, not sure about what she really wants and if love really exists. Trevor Kelly rolls into town, and when they meet over a doughnut and sparks fly. The two characters connect on so many levels. Haley is on a dating hiatus doesn’t want a relationship or to fall in love. Trevor has been in various relationships, doesn’t believe in love and is afraid of commitment. As the story goes, their friendship develops into more, and it is an emotional journey for them to get their happy ending. I really enjoyed the connection between all of the characters in this book. Dogwood Lane is a place where you are friends with everyone, and they have your back and support you through thick and thin. The supporting characters in this book played a big part in the storyline. This book left me with a few laughs and a few tears but in the end it was a wonderful journey.
