Publisher Description
Finding forever is simply too hard.
As a renowned chef, Gabriella Russo knows how to season a good dish. It’s her personal life that’s been too spicy for her liking. Ready to take a break from the roller coaster of romance, Gabriella’s moved to Oregon to open Tangled, a restaurant on the grounds of Tangle Valley Vineyard. A good glass of wine and space to create is all she requires.
Ryan Jacks brings all the girls to the yard, or so it should say on her business card. She’s a skilled carpenter who’s been told more than once that she’s good with her hands. When Ryan takes a job building a new restaurant, her world comes to a halt. The sassy chef is sexy, insightful, and comes with the kind of smart mouth that has Ryan rethinking just about everything. But with Gabriella off the menu, what’s Ryan supposed to do?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pairing a new-to-town chef and a local contractor, Brayden (To the Moon and Back) spins an irresistible contemporary lesbian romance. Upstate New York chef Gabriella Russo moves to Whisper Wall, Ore., to become the executive chef at Tangle Valley, a restaurant attached to a vineyard. She quickly hits it off with beautiful contractor Ryan Jacks, who's hired to renovate the restaurant. But the road to true love hits some bumps as both women guard their hearts Gabriella, because Ryan has a reputation as a player, and Ryan, because she's never been in love before. Ryan's also intimidated by Gabriella's ex-girlfriend Madison, with whom Gabriella is still close friends in accordance with "the lesbian rulebook." Brayden has a gift for imbuing her characters with heart and soul, and readers will quickly warm to both Gabriella and Ryan and the adorably sassy supporting characters, especially the Biddies, a group of septuagenarian gossipers. Brayden makes her characters work for their inevitable happy ending, and the realistic romantic pitfalls are balanced by easygoing humor throughout. Readers will look forward to more trips to Whisper Wall.
Customer Reviews
Feelings!
Melissa Brayden coming in hot with the feelings! Her books always bring the tension and Two to Tangle is no exception. I laughed, I cried, I threw my phone! The level of emotion that she captures in her characters is always impressive. You are captivated and invested right from the beginning. Definitely another win for Brayden.
Just ok
I really like Melissa Brayden, but once in awhile she has a dud. This ones that for me sadly - I wanted to like it - I tried - didn’t work. Too much angst in this one, and it goes on and on for pages and pages.
