ARC BOOK REVIEW
Release Date-13/4/18

Oh, this book it has broken me down to the core then put the shattered pieces of me back together all in the name of fiction.
Tangled love By Haley Jenner is a masterpiece of intensity and feeling.
Leaving me ultimately bereft, so deep did this burrow down into the marrows of my very soul.
The tangled threads of Codi and Parkers love along with the betrayal of everything that Codi imagined mattered to her leaves her a broken show more shell of a woman.
Parker broke Codi.



But in doing so he also broke himself hindsight is a total bummer and misery loves company.
In seeking revenge or vengeance in the name of a mother who would have been devastated and ashamed at the men her sons had become, these boys are reaching new lows.
Her boys evolving into Monsters, all in her name.
Heartbreaking, and the last thing this mother would have ever wanted.



Parker and Rocco have eventually become everything they once despised and looked down on.
The father's sins have ultimately become the sons bringing this whole sorry saga full circle in a macabre dance where the innocent is always the loser and blood is the currency.



So watching the pile of cards come tumbling down around Parker's ears was a kind of karmic justice.
The struggle he faced pulled between his brother Rocco and his love for a woman he knows does not deserve his hate and wrath was as sweet as it was painful.
And when this whole sorry mess eventually implodes in a dramatic take no prisoners fashion, It was kind of therapeutic to behold the suffering Parker had brought on himself through his own twisted actions.
I was such a proud mama bear watching the way Codi handled herself in the moment and also in the eventual aftermath.
She was strong and courageous such a fighter.
But what was saddest was watching her eyes opened to the cruel world around her.
She had had her naivety and rose coloured specs ripped from her eyes.
And for a while, I wondered how she would fare.
She had gifted her heart away and now was dealing with the fallout of that duplicity.
You expect the person that claims to love you to want to protect that organ with every breath in there body not rob you of your last.



Loved the ending especially that the author didn't gloss over the betrayal suffered here.
It wasn't rushed and played out exactly how it should.
As she can see from the above ramblings this story had such a profound effect on me.
It was so very well written and such an incredibly emotive tale that I could not give it less than its deserved full five stars.
There was so much going on here and even when I wanted to hate certain individuals I couldn't help but also relate.
Haley Jenner has done a great job of humanising what should have been unredeemable.
So bravo lady.
This story has imprinted on me and it will be one I couldn't and wouldn't want to forget.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of "Tangled Love" (Chaotic Rein, #1) of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Holy crikey. This book was recommended to me so I decided is give it a shot. The blurb was compelling but sweet lawd... It did not prepare me for the rollercoaster of emotions that this book was going to evoke.

The author touches on a pretty painful and often dismissed aspect of how to live life after a traumatic event. My heart hurts for Annabelle and Archer. Phenomenal characters, secondary characters, steam, and a mind blowing amount of details make this story resonate on so many show more levels.

I cannot wait for Jake's story. show less

This was such an emotional read but in a good way. I loved how it took an awful incident that Zoe had went through and showed the readers that we may never truly know what another person is going through so we always need to be respectful of each other. I also liked how it touched on the subject that because someone has endured a traumatic event we as humans sometimes do not truly know how to handle these situations; we may overlook, brush off, or try too hard to force a person out of their show more shell before they are ready and sometimes all they need is space, just being present without speaking, and kind words of encouragement where needed. Zoe's story was incredible, she may just be living day to day as a shell of herself but she is at least trying. I found her to be incredibly brave to try to go out of her comforts zone by making friends and eventually talking to Tripp. Tripp was an incredible human being, he was more than understanding and had the patience of a Saint. I think if Zoe hadn't found the courage to make friends and let Tripp into her life she would still be struggling because through finding her tribe she found strength in them that helped her. The authors took a sensitive subject but wrote such a beautiful story to show us readers how others may cope, deal with things, and how we can help them. show less

Somehow, I missed the notification that this book was out until I saw the release of the boxset. I have NO idea how I missed it because I have been waiting for Luca's story for what feels like forever. It wasn't but considering the moment that I discovered this writing duo and this series I binge read them faster than just about anything else that I have ever read. It is THAT good. Now, I digress, This book was even better than I had been expecting. How is that even possible?

Luca, sweet show more Lawd, this man. His mouth, his broken damaged parts, and his instant combustible smoldering connection with Frankie. And speaking of Frankie, this girl was crazy but in all the right ways, not in the sleep upside down batcrap sort of way. She was sweet, she, too, was broken, but holy hell was she a dynamic force. These two truly were the epitome of serendipitous. And steam? sweet holy hell. This is one time that I would have been happy to have even MORE of it. The story was perfectly balanced with appearances of the previous characters that I have come to love so much.

I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing writing duo. I cannot tell where one leaves off and the other starts. I just know that they are magic. So many amazing quotes in this story, (and no, even though I am dirty birdy, they all were not sexual) that touched on my soul. This is a story that showcases the reason that love is so powerful. Even though it can hurt, it's healing powers are even stronger but ONLY if someone is willing to take the risk. show less
