Rating: 4.5 stars
Synopsis: 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?

I haven't read any of this author's other books, even though I have a few of her books on my Kindle! I then saw this book in the publisher's email that they sent me and I loved the cover a lot, so I decided to give it a read! The synopsis also sounded like my kind of read too! After reading this book, I can say that I enjoyed it a lot! I was intrigued from the first chapter and wanted to know what was going to happen next! The plot developed at the perfect pace and it only took me about three sittings to read because I had a hard time putting it down! The plot also didn't have a lot of action and suspense in it, if any, which was a bit disappointing for me, but there was plenty of romance and sexual tension between the two main characters to keep me interested! The romance allowed for a few seriously hot scenes too! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Neely was the main female character, and in this book she wasn't really sure what to do with her life! She had quit her job and came back to her hometown to have some time to herself! I liked Neely a lot in this book and could understand why she was conflicted! She wanted to do something with her life, but she went through a lot of realisation in this book and I think that she definitely made the right choice, even if it did take her a while to figure everything out lol! Dane was the main male character and love interest of Neely! I was intrigued by Dane in this book because there was something about him that made me want to know more about him! I found out a lot about Dane in this book and he was such a sweet guy that just wanted to do right by this daughter! He had also been through quite a situation with Neely and then they went through a lot in this book, but it was easy to see that Dane loved Neely and wanted to be with her, even years down the line! I loved that this book was written from both Nelly and Dane's point of views! I wasn't 100% sure if it was going to be written from dual point of view after I read the synopsis, but I'm really happy that it was! It allowed for more things to happen in the plot and it helped me connect and understand both Nelly and Dane more! I now can't wait to read the next book in this series! I'm not sure when the next book is going to release because I can't find any information on it at all lol, but I really hope that it releases this year sometime! I also can't wait to find out who the main characters are going to be because the ending of this book was left at the perfect place for Nelly and Dane, so I'm assuming that the next book is maybe going to focus on a secondary character from this book! I can't wait to check out this author's other books too! The cover for this book is also absolutely stunning! I loved it as soon as I saw it and it definitely drew me to the book ad made me want to read the story behind it! The cover image is also perfect for the characters of Nelly and Dane! Big thank you to Adriana, Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an ARC of Tumble!
