Amy Reierson,
Brothers best friend is absolutely one of my favorites, but what's even better is when the best friend and the sister have relationship it isn't just some little kid sister that has just lived in the shadows。 Unless of course the friendship is new-ish。But Cade and Gigi along with their parents have included Gray in their lives as long as Gigi can remember。 And since Gray and Gigi are at school together and Cade is a couple hours away he has tasked his best friend with keeping an eye on his littl Brothers best friend is absolutely one of my favorites, but what's even better is when the best friend and the sister have relationship it isn't just some little kid sister that has just lived in the shadows。 Unless of course the friendship is new-ish。But Cade and Gigi along with their parents have included Gray in their lives as long as Gigi can remember。 And since Gray and Gigi are at school together and Cade is a couple hours away he has tasked his best friend with keeping an eye on his little sister。Gray takes this job almost to seriously。 As much as Gigi minds it's hard to ignore how much she also doesn't mind。 But really it's just a crush what more could it be。 Gray on the other hand he's just got allot on his mind and pushing Gigi's buttons has always gotten his blood pumping。 Granted this is excessive but with his Dad causing all kinds of trouble his mom cowering to his step and lets not even get started on Simon。 Well burying their works for awhile and leads to some great laughs。 Especially this little gem from Gigi's new friend Leo after his first meeting with Gray。“Girlfriend, you are not family with that boy。 Unless we’re talking all sorts of inbreeding and backwoods inappropriateness。 He just eye-fucked you right in front of me。”Alright that's enough from me! There is so much more to this story。 The friendships are the best, the loyalty, the secondary characters, the lead up to what's to come。 I definitely recommend this book!I have voluntarily left this review。 。。。more

This is the 2nd book in this awesome series and is Gray and Gigi’s story。 Gray is the best friend of Gigi’s brother, and she has had a huge crush on him for years, and when they end up at the same college, Gigi is strong willed and is determined to go after what she wants, even though he has her firmly under his overprotective wing, and he does not want to ruin his friendship with her brother。 This is a slow burn and these two challenges each other throughout。 This is a well written story which This is the 2nd book in this awesome series and is Gray and Gigi’s story。 Gray is the best friend of Gigi’s brother, and she has had a huge crush on him for years, and when they end up at the same college, Gigi is strong willed and is determined to go after what she wants, even though he has her firmly under his overprotective wing, and he does not want to ruin his friendship with her brother。 This is a slow burn and these two challenges each other throughout。 This is a well written story which is heartwarming, emotional, endearing, fun, and with family, friendships, witty banter, humor, and is an entertaining and addictive page turner。 I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend。 。。。more

After much angst and will they or won’t they, Gigi and Gray decide they can’t fight their feelings anymore。 Gray knows this might hurt his lifelong relationship with Cade but his love for Gigi means too much to let it go。 They have the sweetest relationship, Gray was devoted to Gigi from the beginning。 Aside from the love story between Gray and Gigi, a big part of the book revolves around Gray and his family。 He has a father who is an addict and finds himself into trouble many times, a stepfather who resents him, and a mother who doesn’t stick up for him。 As things progress you see the relationships between them change。 Who will be standing at Gray’s side when he finds himself in danger? One thing I did not understand was the point of Tiffany in the story。 Tiffany was a previous hookup of Gray’s and president of the sorority that Gigi and her friend join。 Throughout the book she is mean and territorial and when she finds out about Gigi and Gray she makes it seem like she is going to cause trouble for them。 But nothing ever happens there。 。。。more

There were laugh out loud moments, some definite tense moments (esp。 with Gray’s father), some heat and romantic moments and then…my FAVORITE trope…Brother’s Best Friend!!!! These characters were easy to love as was the storyline! I would definitely recommend this one! 5 stars! 。。。more

Gray and Gigi have known each other all their lives。 Gray is Gigi's brother Cade's best friend。 Cade has asked Gray to keep an eye on Gigi when they go to the same college。 He has also told him to keep his hands off her。 That's fine with Gray but the more they are around each other the harder that becomes。 Gigi also feels the same。 Can they resist each other?

Brothers best friend is one trope I absolutely love, but I'm hard to be pleased by one, because I fantasized about it ever since I was a teenager, sadly I don't have a brother。 This one is probably as close to my fantasy as it ever got。 I'm fairly new to Laura Pavlov, but I really love her writing style。 Gigi attends the same college as her big brothers best friend, and Gray is assigned to keep her safe from "players "。 She's living in a dorm with one of her best friends, Loved Gigi and Gray!!!

I fell head over heels for the town and people of Willow Springs with the first book in this series, Frayed。 Even before I made it through chapter one of Tangled, I was already invested in Gigi and Gray’s story。 Absolutely recommend this series!!

I loved how Gigi and Gray navigate the uncharted waters of their feelings for each other。 Gary’s personal troubles almost ruined their chances。 Gigi kept him on the edge though and don’t back down ✊🏻Laura is an automatic read for me, I just love all that I’ve read of hers。
Thi,
This was a good read。 It did start a little slow for me but it picked up。 I did get annoyed with GiGi and Gray’s hot/cold routine。 I understood Gray’s reservations regarding Gigi but he just needed to man up and take a leap of faith。 Gigi need to stand her ground more with Gray when he went cold on her。

He was the ideal boyfriend, sweet, protective and loyal, despite his playboy history。 Gigi was also a great character her sassiness entertained me。 She knew what she wanted and how to play to get it。 The story is a slow burn with a lot of push and pull between the MC。 The banter is funny and entertaining。 Laura makes sure there is never a dull moment in the story! I really like the way the supporting characters are written into the story too。 We get an update on all the magic willows and how they are adjusting to college life。 I actually want to be part of the magic willows, their friendship is fantastic。 I really enjoyed the family dynamics and drama, particularly with Gray’s family。 I definitely recommend this book and series。 I had never heard of Laura before this year but she is now a definite favourite of mine。 。。。more

I loved watching these two stubborn characters find their way to each other。 Gray Baldwin is such a swoon worthy hero I think everyone will fall in love with, I sure did! This story is sweet, and the angst was just the perfect amount for their forbidden relationship, and I can’t forget the added layer of suspense will keep you turning pages till you reach the very last page! If you’re like me and love a sweet and angsty brothers best friend trope, look no further! I absolutely adore the series already can not wait for the next book!!! 。。。more

Gigi has been in love with her brother’s best friend forever, a young girl’s crush grew into full blown love。 But what do you do even that love isn’t reciprocated?Gray has known the Jacobs’s family for years, his parents didn’t really care much for him (stepdad thinks he’s a waste of space)and mum doesn’t really defend him all that much, so he lives with Cade’s family as much as he could, so when his best friend asked him to look out for his baby sister, Gray jumped at the chance to repay the fa Gigi has been in love with her brother’s best friend forever, a young girl’s crush grew into full blown love。 But what do you do even that love isn’t reciprocated?Gray has known the Jacobs’s family for years, his parents didn’t really care much for him (stepdad thinks he’s a waste of space)and mum doesn’t really defend him all that much, so he lives with Cade’s family as much as he could, so when his best friend asked him to look out for his baby sister, Gray jumped at the chance to repay the family back。 But recently he’s looked at his best friends sister far more intently than he should be。。。。。 Both Gigi and Gray go to the same school, but Gray is in the year above? Gray is determined that Gigi won’t date anyone, she’s had plenty of offers, but so far he’s scared them away! But why? It can’t be just as a favour to the family, there has to be more to it, doesn’t there? What starts out as a friends zone, soon turns into something more, it takes Gray a little longer to catch up, but Gigi is willing to wait as long as it takes。 But Gray doesn’t have the confidence that Gigi does about them。 He’s constantly worried that he’s not good enough (his stepfather tells him often enough!) his dad’s a drink and a gambler! Gray has lost count of how many times his father has promised to quit, promised to be a better father! But when Gigi gets caught up on all the drama, Gray realises he can’t help his father no more, he has to put her first。 True love never runs smooth。。。。。 We have a jealous ex (well she thinks she’s Gray’s girlfriend!) who won’t take no for an answer! We have a brother who won’t take kindly to his best friend sleeping with his baby sister! And we have trouble brewing in the shape of a gambling father! I love visiting Willow Springs, it’s my favourite small town to visit。 Drama and angst, but also young love and the promise of forever! 💜And when her brother Cade finally finds out about Gigi and Gray。。。。。 well it’s not a back slapping Gray gets!! So can they get their HEA? Read it to find out。。。。。。And I’m so ready for book three 😊🦋 。。。more

Heather Pingree,
Tangled is book 2 in the Willow Springs series and it's about Gigi and her brother's best friend Gray。 I think this book was amazing! I loved how when Gigi gets to college (which is where Gray attends), they start to discover that they have feelings for each other instead of annoying each other。 There are a lot of obstacles thrown in their way but they get through them together!! Gigi and Gray's story is by far my favorite right now! I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this。 Tangled is book 2 in the Willow Springs series and it's about Gigi and her brother's best friend Gray。 I think this book was amazing!

And Gigi was such a fun heroine as she knew what she wanted and was able to push Gray outside of his comfort zone。 I just loved their banter as they attempted to resist each other and their chemistry once they finally got together。 And the supporting characters and family dynamics were all so well written especially the relationship between Gray and his father。 This is a perfect summer read that I highly recommend! 。。。more

You’ve done it again!Tangled is the second book in the Willow Springs series and I fell in love with this story right from the very beginning。 I just couldn’t put it down。Gigi and Gray have known each other since they were kids。 Gray is her brother’s best friend and the guy who constantly annoys the hell out of her。 She just can’t stand him but when they end up being at the same collage things start to change and lines start to blur。 And let me tell you, when these two finally stopped fighting their feelings for each other…。SWOON! They were so stinkin’ cute and adorable together。I love Gigi’s character。 She’s strong and she loves hard。 She also knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to go after it (you go girl!)。Gray is an arrogant playboy with a reputation。 He’s also a tortured boy。 But behind all that tough exterior there is a guy with a heart of gold。 He’s sweet, kind, caring and would do anything for the people he cares about。 His struggles with his family and feelings that he wasn’t good enough for Gigi just killed me。 I loved the pull and push between them and their banter。 Jealous Gray was so hot, swoony and made me laugh out loud so many times。I really loved this cute story。 I’m completed addicted to this series and I can’t wait for the next book! 。。。more
