I fell in love with Dogwood Lane in the first book of the series, and this one is even better! In fact, it has one of my favorite lines EVER in a book. Trevor is sheer perfection and so is Haley! I love their characters individually as well as together! Just an awesome addition to the series, and I can't wait for more!

4 1/2 Stars!

Haley's a romantic. She believes in love and happily-ever-after. Trevor does not! He believes that a person can have several loves in the their life span because nothing lasts forever. Haley warns Trevor to stay away from her because she will fall in love with him, but he just can't help himself. He flirts and flirts until Haley gives in.

This is a cute romantic comedy that had me laughing out loud. The characters are just so believable and the banter between them is so realistic. Haley is just a sweetie and I couldn't help but root for her to have her happily-ever-after. And even though Trevor thought he had a heart of stone, he really was too kind and thoughtful to be a a$$hole. This is a great 2nd book in the series and I highly recommend both books.

Tangle was a fun and sassy story to get into. Our poor Haley is having "A DAY" and needs her sugar rush to make everything right again. Until a gorgeous stranger has bought the last donut that was calling Haley's name. Since that incident, I could not stop loving on Haley and Trevor. Stories where love finds the way always get me. I love when a book character does not believe in Love and then gets bit by the bug.

The passion that heats up between the characters will have your Kindle go into overload. I recommend this MUST READ as it will give you the thrills and the chills!!

After not liking the plot line of the first book in this series, I wasn’t sure what to expect with book 2. But OH MY GOD I LOVED IT! This was wonderful! It reminded me of what AL does best... great side characters, delicious slow burns, witty banter and dialogue with characters that feel real. Book 2 in the Dogwood Lane series follows Haley and Trevor. The banter and playfulness between these two was my favorite part of the book. I loved how sarcastic and fun together they were. I also loved how honest with each other they were from the very beginning. Each was true to themselves and I genuinely liked that. Haley was a really relatable character to me. I loved her love of love. And not apologizing for that but understanding how to be strong. This series has definitely hit its stride and it seems like Penn and Grace (?) may be up next!! Tbh I’m intrigued by Trevor’s brother Jake.... Hmmm time will tell! Definitely check out this book!

Aaahh, I loved this!
As I have come to expect with Adriana Locke, this is a very easy read, perfect for when you just want a light romance.
We already met Haley in the first book in this series as the cousin/nanny who was unlucky in love, and was giving up dating for a while. This story picks up just after this.
Trevor is a character that is easy enough to like at the beginning, and by the end was a firm favourite with me.
Well worth a read! Thanks.x

First of all, I'm wondering how this is my first Adrianna Locke book I've ever read! Second- now I need to go back and read the first book of this series. I literally laughed out loud by page 2, so I knew I was in for a great read. It definitely was! I laughed, got misty eyed, and even an out loud awww for a swoon worthy scene. I just loved this book so much, I'm kicking myself for not discovering this author sooner!

I loveeeeedddd Trevor Kelly!!! I loved Hailey and her wit. This was such a good book. I savored it rather than devour cause i didn't want it to end too quickly. I loved seeing Dogwood Lane and all the characters i grew to love in Tumble. Penn better get a book or im gonna be pissed haha. I need to see him get smacked in the face with LOVE.

The Dogwood Lane series makes you feel like moving to a small town! Comfy & Swoony! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read

Haley and Trevor are going to make you fall completely in love with their “we won’t fall in love” banter! They make you want to move to a cute small town and join them. I am crushing on this series!

Trevor Fn’ Kelly!

That is all!

Ha!

Adriana has written another gem with Trevor and Haley. From the first chapter she draws you in with the banter and ease the pair share. Nonstop laughs at their interactions with everyone they cross. I love that all the prior characters play such a pivotal role in this installment of the series.


Everyone and all the issues they experience make this one of the most relatable stories to read. The way Haley views relationships and love are such a common thing as well as Trevor’s dislike of the L-word. Their honesty and passion made for a great read.

Dane took a piece of my heart in Tumble, now Trevor is claiming a bigger chunk. By the time we get to Penn, the Dogwood crew will own it. Such a well written book that makes you realize appreciating boundaries and sometimes how bypassing all of them and the rules, will lead you down a path of ultimate happiness.

Tangle is book 2 in the Dogwood Lane series. This is Haley, who you may remember as Dane’s cousin if you read Tumble and Trevor.

Haley has had horrible luck when it comes to dating, so she is done with it, she is taking a break. Trevor doesn’t believe in love. Everyone around him has been in a relationship that hasn’t worked out. So what happens when promises are written on napkins and a new friendship forms?

Haley, she was one sassy little firecracker and I LOVED that about her. She wasn’t afraid to give what she got, even if it was to a complete stranger. The banter between her and Trevor was fantastic and I loved the chemistry between the two of them. Trevor, the doughnut thief, was a man all about one-night stands. He didn’t do relationships, especially with his past and the relationships he has seen around him.

This book had me laughing, it was sweet, and it will leave you smiling. I love the little bits and pieces of Dane and Neely and glimpses into more of the Dogwood Lane characters. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Penn. I think that man may finally meet his match.

Tangle a perfect small town romance and a MUST READ for the summer!

Trevor goes to Dogwood Lane to oversee construction on a house for his dad and dad's new wife. One of the first people he meets is Haley. Immediate chemistry and just the right amount of teasing each other, plus a pact to not get involved, add up to a very fun read. Another great book in this series. More fun characters in this sweet little town, and lots of appearances from ones introduced in Tumble. I'd recommend reading that first, but wouldn't say it's necessary.

Tangle is a fantastically cute read. I love how Haley and Trevor meet. The banter between them is so delightful and sexy at the same time. Neither is looking to get involved. Haley is just this light force you can't help but to love and looking to focus on just herself. Trevor is swoonworthy and charming you get the feeling he doesn't know what he is looking for in life. I love this one. Haley and Trevor are so sweet together. I couldn't put this one down. I love the changes with Haley and Trevor throughout. Dogwood Lane is fast becoming my favorite feel good series especially after reading this one. Go one click this one.

Coming back to Dogwood Lane is always sweet. Coming to Dogwood Lane with Trevor Kelly made it even better. I love how Addy writes her heroes and heroines. These two are a perfect match! I can’t wait for the next Dogwood Lane book!

OMG. Talk about feels! Adriana Locke is a master at giving me All. The. Feels and Tangle certainly did not disappoint. Trevor Kelly is pure fire, and Hayley is the sassy, loveable heroine we all want to be. Just the right mix of push and pull, heat and angst, Tangle is a must read this summer. One of my favourite things about Adriana Locke is that the secondary characters and the location of her books become just as important to you as the Hero and heroine, so I cant wait to go back to Dogwood Lane!

This series just got better with Tangle. I absolutely loved Trevor and Haley. The friendship they built was so sweet and made for a perfect slow burn. Haley’s growth as a character really stood out to me. I loved her in Tumble and I’m so happy she found her HEA in Trevor. I can’t wait for Penn’s book!

Siiigh... Adriana Locke has done it AGAIN!

Having read Tumble before starting this, I already knew Haley from her supportive role to Dane and Mia in it. And just like in Tumble, Haley in Tangle was fun, witty, entertaining, and in love with love. Even if she sucks at finding men that are good for her. From her vow of not having a boyfriend in Tangle, to her contract with Trevor to not fall in love here, her development and continuity as a strong-willed, determined to find what's best for her character, were perfect.

And Trevor? Gah! Prince freaking Charming. EXCEPT-- he hates love!

What could possibly go wrong with a lover of love, and a hater of love, having off the charts chemistry and making a deal to not go there?

The banter, conversations, sizzling chemistry, and tension in this were amazing. Which is something I've come to expect from a book by Adriana.

I highly recommend this if you are new to her work. And if you're a returning reader, you already know that Adriana Locke never fails to bring these small town characters to life in a BIG way in your mind and heart. Grab Tangle when you can because I guarantee you'll fall head over heels for another dynamite couple brought to life by Adriana Locke.

After reading Tumble I desperately wanted to know more about Haley, the sweet girl that gave up her life to come take care of her little cousin. Let me tell you that this book did not disappoint!

Haley has a problem in which her past boyfriends are kind of awful. She just attracts the wrong type of guys and since she loves love she sticks with them even though they are not right for her.

Trevor does not believe that real love exists. He has seen what "love" can make people do and is determined to never let himself fall into that pit and is always 100% honest with the ladies that he has relations with about the fact it will never be more than casual.

What happens when a girl that loves love and a guy that vows not to be in a relationship somehow come to deeply feel for each other? Read the book to find out!

All in all, I DEFINITELY recommend that you check this out and see what happens. I will not give anything a way but know that this is a sweet but super hot romance with a great plot!!

PS: Thank you Adriana Locke and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

Haley and Trevor are a wonderful couple, who are perfectly matched, despite seemingly being totally unsuitable. As with all books by this author, the writing is of a high standard, the pace holds your attention and the characters are charming and engaging, except when they aren't meant to be!

The book is an entertaining read, you can feel the emotions of the characters and are soon drawn in by it all. It's fairly slow burn but worth the wait.

Tangle was a great follow up to Tumble! Small town romance and amazing characters make this a great book! Haley and Trevor's story was so entertaing and kept me so involved in their developing relationship. Appearances from previous characters and ones we hope get their own book round out this great read! Looking forward to more from the Dogwood Lane gang!

Wow. My second book of the Dogwood Lane series and I loved it.

We follow quite a journey between Haley, a huge romantic at heart and Trevor, the anti-romantic. Making a contract between them seemed like an easy solution until they started to have feelings for each other.

But Trevor didn't want that because he lived so far away, so how could he make this work? This long-distance relationship?

Haley knew she couldn't develop feelings. She always did in the past and she was always hurt.

This book is a great summer read. With witty banter, hilarious side characters (hello, Penn, nice to see you again) and the wonderful people of Dogwood Lane, you'll fall in love with this series. I was also excited to meet again the characters of the previous book - Tumble.

4.5 stars.
