Review of Tumble (Dogwood Lane Book 1) by Adriana Locke
Can Neely's heart survive Dane again? What about his gorgeous little daughter, with whom she shares a love of gymnastics? Can she allow them into her life only to leave and go back to New York when she finds a new job? That's what she wants, right? To go back to New York again? Or will all of her small town's charm keep her rooted in her hometown, where things move much slower than in the big city, but have a heart not ever seen in the Big Apple?
I so loved Tumble!!! It's full of Adriana Locke's signature sweet brand of sexiness, lots of heart, and an amazing cast of primary and secondary characters. I am so impressed by how Dane and Neely handled their second chance. It could have been full of lots of mean, heart-rending barbs, considering how and why they broke up, but nope, they had grown up and acted like it. Oh sure, there was still obviously hurt there, especially on Neely's part, but she was an absolute star in the way she treated Dane and Mia. She could have been prickly and mean, instead she behaved like the good person her mom raised her to be, and I loved that about her. And Dane? That man is so damn swoony I about cried. Single dads are always sexy, but they aren't always as sweet and swoony as Dane. Sigh...I'm still sighing and swooning because I loved Dane, and Neely, and cannot wait to explore Dogwood Lane more!
