Tumble by Adriana Locke ~ New Release and Review


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?

When much loved authors try something new, it’s exciting and a little scary too. Tumble starts a new small town series, Dogwood Lane, by Ms Locke and she definitely delivered.

Dane and Neely were high school sweethearts who had things implode on them, leading to 10 years apart until she finally comes home. I found myself liking both characters and rooting for them to get closure and find their happily ever afters.

Dane, his brother, and friend fit the Locke hero mood perfectly. That is to say that they are not perfect at all, but that they have a sense of honor and have a wonderful sense of humor that makes you want to get to know them better.

Neely is a unique and strong heroine. I loved that she let herself lash out at Dane and put the hurt out on a platter, but then felt the need to apologize. I also could relate to how her priorities changed, I think the struggle she went through is something a lot of people deal with as they mature.

This is an overall fun book. There is history and some angst, but it’s not too heavy. There is also a good balance between world building, plot, and character development. I am looking forward to more from Dogwood Lane.
