From USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a witty romance about first love and second chances.
After being burned by her dream job in New York City, sports journalist Neely Kimber suddenly finds herself jobless and paying a long-overdue visit to her hometown in Tennessee. Her plan? Relax, reset, and head back up the corporate ladder. There’s just one unexpected step. Neely’s back in Dogwood Lane for barely a day when she sees the man she ran from nine years ago: the bad boy next door who was her first kiss, her first love, and her first heartbreak.
Devoted single dad Dane Madden knows he hurt Neely in the worst way. He’s got a lot to make up for. And as passionate as their reconnection is, it’s a lot to hope for. Having her back in his arms feels so right. But falling in love all over again with a woman who wants to live a world away is bound to go so wrong.
What’s it going to take for Neely to give him—and Dogwood Lane—just one more chance?
OMG! I loved Tumble something fierce!!
I went into Tumble blind and I have no regrets! I loved the small-town of Dogwood Lane and the people and their relationships. I love reading books where everyone knows everyone’s business and this was no exception. The potluck after church on Sunday afternoon, was perfection, because I love potlucks and it reminded me of my childhood, and anytime an author incorporates church and prayers into a story my heart just melts from pure joy!
The relationship between Neely and Dane was fraught with tension, from past hurts to sexual to not knowing what will happen. I was so stressed out reading at one point that my Fitbit said my heart-rate was up to 116 and I was in fat burn mode! I was freaking out because just when I thought everything would play out the way I wanted something happened and WHAM! I go into instant panic mode!
Dane, a sexy single father, was hotter than hell. I swear there is nothing more enticing than man that genuinely loves and cares for his child. He put his daughter first and was so protective that I had to fan my face, and when he finally pulled his head out of his rear and went to get his woman. DANG! I sat there listening with a huge smile on my face!
Tumble is a sexy second chance romance set in a small town with a single father that you won’t be able to resist. From heartbreak to falling back in love this story will captivate you!
