Things heat up, and not just the Georgia summertime, when Dane and Laney go head to head over plans for her new duplex. But Laney's got his number, and knows just how to coerce her bossy, domineering man. Spend the summer with the gang and find out...just how many is a crowd?

Entangled was a quick read that followed Dane and Laney as Laney moves in to the new duplex that Dane bought her. This one really made me laugh. Dane and Laney are just perfect together.
Once again Dane is just
I need a Dane of my own....completely possessive of Laney. Over the top love and devotion....has to have her....needs to have her all of the time.
And the juicy little Sawyer tidbit...what was it?!?! 6 piercings???
Please, please, please let one of them be naughty!
We are taken on yet ANOTHER epic journey of Laney,Dane and the gang. I loved every single minute. This ride was crazy, fun, SEXY, hilarious. Dane and Laney are growing up. The entire gang is growing up( except maybe Saywer ;-) lol. But everyone is growing up and their characters are becoming more vivacious. We get a little bit of drama, but mostly the ride is smooth and entertaining, we can clearly see something is bothering Sawyer and cannot wait to see what that is in his very own story! I can never get enough Dane,I love that man to the moon and back and he did not disappoint with his sexy, kinky a$$.Love him. And that is all you need to know right now ;-) you will have to read to find out, but I promise, you will NOT be disappointed, it was pretty epic and I am sooo very proud of Stefani. Love you girl. <3.
Some quotes I loved:
“Pull your panties up, you too Laney, and get your asses out here!”
“I love you like this, untamed. You dance like you f***, smooth and sexy.”
“Don’t worry babe, I brought you home a buddy.”My first ever garage sale purchase. Another first that’s just ours.”
It's mostly about Dane and Laney. They get older, evolve and so does their relationship, which is still special, all because of Dane. He's still swoon-worthy and dominant and possessive and hot and just so good.
I enjoy spending time with these people but there's really not much happening here, especially because I didn't read this anticipating the next book. I have read the whole series and loved it, now this one let me down. It's kinda unnecessary and didn't get to me like all the others. But it's a quick, light and mostly fun read. That takes it from 2,5 to 3 Stars.
I was lucky enough to get the privilege of BETA reading this amazing novella!
The "crew" is back in an awesome novella by S.E. Hall. Everyone is maturing and moving forward in their lives and relationships, all except maybe Sawyer! But, isn't that what we all love so much about him?
I am Team Dane all the way, and this book didn't disappoint me in anyway!! It was a fun, entertaining, book to read. And I must say, getting to see the different sides of Dane's lovin'....SWOON!!!!! I'd love to be Laney Walker, even for just a day....or night! ;)
One of my favorite scenes is when the girls go to the "girl's only party". All I can say is...door prizes, cha cha's on fire, and the look on Dane's face when Laney informs Dane she brought him home a "buddy"!!! I literally could not stop laughing out loud!!!
I love the turn she is taking with the developments the characters. We are getting to see a little more deeper into them! There is a bit of drama, and a whole lotta lovin'!! Something is definitely going on with Sawyer though! Can't wait to see whats got the playboy all bothered about in the next installment of the Evolve Series!
I reread this series over Christmas vacation when I didn't feel like tackling anything new. It wasn't that long ago that I read these (maybe 5 yrs) but my reading tastes have really changed. These kids are in college but the characters, especially Laney act like teenagers.
This is a quick novella about the duplex Dane purchased for her at the end of Evan's book. It's ironic that Laney acts so independent but has zero issue with accepting homes, gifts, vacations from Dane. Most of the book is her pushing back about how she wants to decorate/ furnish the house... that he bought.
I've said it before, but Dane deserves a better h. Laney kind of sucks.
OK, I think I'm in love with S.E. Hall!! When I pick up her books, everything else for the day is forgotten. Entangled was freaking amazing and I definitely got lost in this book, and wanted more as soon as it finished.
Entangled is a novella going back to Dane and Laney. We get to see Laney and Dane bicker about decorating her duplex, and their relationship evolve even more. I'm pretty sure when I reviewed Emerge I let you know how much I loved Dane, well now I love him even more! Dane and Laney's relationship is awesome, yes, they have their problems, and bicker, but they are growing together, and are truly in love.
The chemistry between these two never seems to amaze me, and their sex definitely gets hotter! Laney is definitely a vixen, and I don't think Dane minds one bit.
There are some hilarious parts in this book, the part Bennett takes Laney to.. OMG, had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard. I can't wait to see what comes next for these two, and the rest of the crew ( I need Sawyers story, like NOW please!!) and I have to find out what happens with Dane's original idea with the envelope.. If you haven't picked up this series by S.E. Hall you are seriously missing out on some of the best books out there.
“The really special ones that go beyond physical experimentation and creep into your soul and stay there, are just for us. Perfection.”
So just when I think I can’t get more addicted to SE Hall this little Novella falls in my kindle and has me all HOT and I was screaming I LOVE YOU S.E. Hall and the boys that live within you. Yeah I said that twice and as soon as I finished this I wanted another one. She is a serious addiction and there is no cure. Moral ~ Entangled was more than I thought I was getting!
“Until you’ve felt it, it sounds cliché. All you can do is pity the skeptics who haven’t experienced it.”
YAY Dane and Laney are back and they are HOTTER than ever. And yes we all remember when I first met these two and I was all “I think,” well let me clarify. DANE is…
"The man is a degree of hot and sexy that cannot be measured and I’m instantly aflame, tingly and wanting , every single time I look at him."
Oh and I learned something in this book.
"Dane Dick. She speaks it fluently, actually, and I have a great success with what I call Triple D, aka Dane Dick Diversion."
Ummmm yeah so I want to learn to speak that language. Seriously I want to experience that and this relationship. Dane and Laney are cute, they have grown a lot and have a love that I am convinced can only be written in books.
“You are mine, and I am yours. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you Laney. Keep you safe, keep you happy, keep you with me. Only with you do I feel whole. Do I love you right Laney?”
The chemistry between these two is unlike anything and I have to be honest if I had a Dane I don’t think I would ever leave my bed. But what I really loved in this book was the humor. Seriously I was laughing out loud and I had tears running down my cheeks with certain scenes.
“Oh my God Laney, ChaCha’s on fire! I think I may have done permanent damage.”
"I pull a hand slowly down my face, hardly believing this is really happening to me. “I can only assume ChaCha is your vagina?”
I can't wait to see what comes next for this bunch, I kinda need Sawyers story, like NOW!!! If you haven't picked up this series by S.E. Hall I am to say please go buy them and get ready to start a relationship that you can’t even imagine.
“Do I still have to pretend I don’t want to be caught?”
No…believe me you totally want to be caught by this series!!!
I was thrilled that I was given the chance to read an ARC of Entangled, and S.E. Hall has once again blown me away with her writing!
Let me just start out by saying, I have been Team Evan since the beginning, but this novella is seriously making me reconsider switching teams. Dane is the perfect combination of sexy and sweet, and boy does he like to have control both in and out of the bedroom! He and Laney have both grown and matured throughout the series, and the chemistry between them is stronger than ever. However, Dane still seems to be holding back. He knows he loves Laney and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Hell, he'd marry her in a heartbeat! But he doesn't seem to think that she is ready to take that leap just yet, and rushing her into something too hastily is the last thing he wants to do.
I loved when everyone came together for Parker and Hayden's wedding, but my heart broke for Sawyer. He has been MIA and no one seems to know what's been up with him lately. When he finally makes an appearance, it's clear to everyone that he's not his usual, comical self. I hope that Sawyer is able to find the happiness he deserves in the next full length novel, Entice.
This novella was a great follow up to Emerge and Embrace and I look forward to what's in store for the rest of the crew as the rest of the series unfolds!
I loved Dane I really did I mean I loved him in Emerge but I loved him more in this book, "baby, if that's what you really want, go ahead, but it sounds gaudy and juvenile, and you have to think of resale. When it comes time for you to marry me and move into the big house, we'll have to make the room look normal for potential buyers." And he's so playful, "oh, baby," he growls, his feet pounding the floor as he stalks toward me, "are you questioning my manliness?" And Laney she's learning more and more about her man each day, "another interesting fact I learned about Dane after the first time - he wants it all the time. Anytime, anywhere, any way...now that the seal is broken, my man can't be stopped." And Dane he has this bossy way about him just like in Emerge, "just for a sec," he whispers in my ear. "I wanna shower, change, eat and make love to you in that order, and sooner rather than later." Laney that girl does not back down from a challenge, "rising to the challenge, she kisses my abdomen, my hips, and drops my shorts and briefs to my ankles. my di** is rock hard; I think it may actually be leaning towards her mouth on it's own." I want Sawyer to have a book now.
This book was just OK for me. I was expecting a little more in this novella. Nothing really GREAT stood out except for the fact we finally get to read about Parker & Hayden's wedding. Other than that, I could have lived without.
Or it might be because I'm team Evan and he was in this book for a brief second....hehehehe
That was great! The angst is over and happiness is pouring out of everyone. There is life after heart break and it can be good! Even though it was a novella it was still long enough to give me what I wanted. Updates on the crew! Evan, my sexy sweet heart. Dane with his Triple D tactics...damn...can you say HOT! Young southern alphas who will eventually grow in to KA level men no doubt! I'm so in love with this series! On to Sawyer's book next!
This novella takes place right after Embrace as Laney is settling into her new duplex that Dane bought her that she will be sharing with Sawyer (and of course Dane will be visiting) and Bennett and Tate will be on the other side. They are leaving dorm life and curfews behind.
Laney and Dane are having fun doing home improvement projects, making bets, and christening all the rooms in her new place. Their relationship just keeps getting stronger (and hotter). They are devoted, passionate, and loving. They truly compliment one another well even though Laney is spirited, opinionated, and often challenges Dane. Laney has really come into her own in this series. She is becoming more assertive and confident. She resists his help at times and is definitely not after his money. And she is also caring and supportive.
Dane struggles a bit that he has to run a company while all of his friends are in school and living what feels like a "younger" lifestyle. Dane is such an awesome boyfriend. He is thoughtful, romantic, generous, mature, and completely enamored of Laney. But he is also still an alpha type male that is protective, bossy, and likes control. You can really feel how close they are in this one. They have become such a sweet, strong couple. As have some of the other couples that have formed in the crew.
Only Dane makes me forget that not too long ago I was simply a girl; a scared, unsure, shy girl a long way from home. With him, as his, I am anything but. He revealed the true me--a confident, sensual woman ready to embrace all that makes me feel alive.
"I have to know I live in your heart, your soul, Laney, like you do mine. That nothing can touch us, we are unbreakable."
It is told in both points of view. I found some of their hidden inner monologues funny and entertaining. They seriously had me laughing at how they thought they were getting things over on the other one. And Sawyer and Bennett are always good for some laughs too. And they did not disappoint.
“We’re a Crew. You screw with one of us, you screw with all of us.”
S.E. Hall's writing just draws you in and you feel like you are part of the group. This novella was short, but was humorous and heartfelt. What I love about this series is the crew...all of them. Dane, Laney, Tate, Bennett, Sawyer, Zach, Evan Whitley, Parker and Hayden. They are a tight knit bunch who stands together and truly makes a family. They support each other, but also tease each other. They have really shown growth during the series. They have few secrets from each other so when one of them does, it becomes a big deal. And Sawyer is being mysterious. This novella transitions into his book and I am looking forward to his story that was also hinted at the end of Embrace. So bring on Sawyer! And more of the progression of the relationships with the rest of the crew. They are all growing up and have more stories to tell.
We're all just one, big, crazy, loving extended family...forever entangled in one another's lives, and pretty damn blessed. Life is good.
Thanks to SE Hall for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review. Will be posted at Reviews by Tammy and Kim.
~Joni’s Review~ Well the crew is all here and we get to see what they all did for the summer. The story revolves mostly around Dane and Laney. Someone sure turned up the heat in this one. WOW. I was fanning myself. Dane is hotter than ever!!! He is also a little bit dominant and I loved it! Oh yeah, so did Laney. ;) “I do this to him, me-my love, my body-undoes this god. This territorial, bossy, controlling…wonderful god of a man that is all mine.” ~Laney They are working on painting and furnishing her new place and Dane seems to be struggling a little with himself. He wants to be his age and experience the things his friends are instead of the businessman he is now. Above all else though he loves Laney and she is his first priority, always. “I have to know I live in your heart, your soul, Laney, like you do mine. That nothing can touch us, we are unbreakable.” ~ Dane I would love to have another Dane and Laney book and see if he ever gets around to doing that one thing he wanted to do, but had to put off. Hint hint SE Hall. Love this crew and cannot wait to read Sawyer’s book and find out what’s up with him. I laughed so hard in so many places it was great, start to finish! 5 Flippin’ Stars!!!
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review!
Laney, Dane, and the rest of The Crew are back in this amazing novella. Everyone is growing up and moving forward with their lives and relationships. Well everyone but Sawyer. He seems to be bothered by something but he isn't talking yet.
As always Laney and Dane are awesome and their chemistry just keeps better. They still can't keep their hands off each other but they are also discovering new things about one another. Dane does like to be in control. That isn't a bad thing when he wants to do the controlling from bed. This book is lacking the drama that the previous books have had. This novella is more of a fun and easy read. There were a few times while reading this book that I would just start laughing so hard that I had tears rolling down my face..."girls only party"!!!!
Once again S.E. Hall you don't disappoint. This series has fast become one of my all time favorites. The characters continue to grow and invite you into their lives pulling you into their story. This book and the series will definitely be recommended to all my fellow book lovers.
Fewer words, greater meaning; short and sweet is exactly what this novel is.
You still see the Crew in their own element and I really love that no matter what happens the stories in this series just grow in depth the more they grow up. You see a different side to the different friends and it warms my heart that their loyalty is so strong and they give each other space and understanding until they're ready.
The setting of the story is summer and with the different occasions happening, there is still time for these friends to still make time for each other. Of course the humor is just bend-over-catching-your-breath-funny. I am not ashamed to admit that some of these slangs are just too good to pass up and repeat such as the Triple D and PP. I wish though that Laney gets in to a fight soon with somebody. It sounds mean, but I just really wanna see the hellcat let loose. LoL. You can see the difference in the characters as they mature and discover their feelings. It is such a great story.
This is a great novella and one that should NOT be passed up as is the Evolve Series. One-click it!
I Loved Entangled, Here we get more Of Laney and Dane and the Crew and you are going to love them all. Laney is excited to get painting and getting her new home together and Dane and Laney make a bet. To see who has the better room once they are done painting and putting the room together. I love how these two are with each othe so fun and out going. We see Dane struggle a bit with his feelings and how he should go about doing things. You feel bad for him and see where he's coming from.
In Entangled you get more much more of Dane and Laney and You will love thenm even more then you did in Emerge. The CREW is still a big part of the book and I love that they are, I love that we get to see them not only as frinds but as a big family.
S.E. Hall has done a amazing job and I can't wait to have more. ENTANGLED is 5+ stars and is not one you want to miss. If you haven't read the first two book in the series I highly recommend you do EMERGE and EMBRACE you will fall in LOVE with each and every one of these characters!
Ahhh, Dane and Laney's story continues in this awesome novella. I must say that this series is quite addicting. I haven't grown tired of Laney & Dane or the rest of the gang at all! This is one to be read from start to finish in one sitting. It's laugh out loud hilarious and super sexy. Dane is #1 Alpha man and boy does he show it. He wants to be in charge at all times and he's damn good at it. Enjoyed seeing these two interact as Laney makes plans for her new duplex.
I was hoping there would be still lots of Laney & Dane and there certainly was no shortage at all. The Gang is also back which I loved! Everyone comes together for Parker & Hayden's wedding, which was great. I'm curious and excited to read more about Sawyer and what's been going on with him.
This is a novella, but it packs a definite punch and will leave you panting and swooning most of the times, bring you to tears laughter and finally leave you with such a warm feeling for this story and it's characters.
Well done S.E. Hall!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Entangled takes us over the course of the summer when Laney and Dane are fixing up the duplex and getting ready for Laney to move in. This book is packed with schmexy moments, both sweet and steamy.
Well, well, well! Laney is growing up!!! Not only is she moving into her own house, courtesy of the magnificent Dane, but she is really becoming quite the little minx ;) She is slowly becoming more comfortable with her love life...
“We’re still at like, twenty-four shades of grey, mister.”
Well....almost completely comfortable LOL
Dane is of course still as sweet as ever...
“You’re a part of me now, Laney, there’s no going back. No one and nothing exists before us, or after us,” my hand spreads wide across her stomach, “all that remains is out forever.”
We also get to see more of his domineering side which was SEXY as all HELL!
We get more glimpses of The Crew and how their lives are going....it really leads us up to Entice, Sawyer’s story, and I can’t freaking wait!!! Be sure to check back soon for our next installment of the Evolve series!
I started this last night with the intention of just starting it. I really should have known better. Ms. Hall always pulls me completely into the story and before I know it, I'm done. I love that she can do that to me. Her characters are so vibrant and real, it's such a pleasure to read them. This was a novella that comes before her next book about Sawyer, which I totally can't wait for. I loved this because it shows not only the deep feelings that Lanie and Dane have for each other, but how the Crew stands up and supports each other all the way. It's really nice to read about a group of people who care that deeply for each other. I can't wait to see how Ms. Hall gets Dane to realize that Lanie loves him just as much as he loves her. I also can't wait to see what happens and who Sawyer falls for. He's a wild one, but also so sweet. I am really enjoying this series!!
I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
I love this family of characters! I love Dane and Laney's relationship. They are madly in love, but Laney is still a little hesitant to really commit fully. Poor Dane is ready to marry her like yesterday. I see a wedding in their future sooner rather than later. Laney will come to her senses and realize that age doesn't matter.
Evan and Whitley seem to be growing closer and closer. They weren't in this book a lot, but I see a move to the farm soon. I also see a house full of babies for those two!
Zach needs to find him a good girl who will love him for who he is and not take advantage of him like his ex did. I really can't wait to read his story!
Sawyer, oh Sawyer. He wasn't his quirky self in this book. Something is going on with him and he was really secretive about it. I cannot wait for his book. Sawyer is one of my favorite characters in this series!!
I got the privilege to Beta read for S.E Hall for this amazing novella.
I beyond loved Entangled. In Entangled we get more of Dane and Laney, and of course the rest of the crew. We get to see a whole new dominate side to Dane, yes I said dominate. That man sure knows how to take control in the bedroom, or whatever room they happen to be in. I laughed so hard, to the point of tears in certain places, and swooned in others. Everyone is assembled for Parker and Hayden’s wedding, which was perfect as to be expected with anything Whitley puts together. Entangled is the perfect setup for the next full length novel Entice, which is Sawyer’s book. In Entangled we are left wondering where Sawyer is, and when we do see him, he is not his usual self. This novella was amazingly written, and a easy read. If you loved Emerge and Embrace then you will more than love Entangled.
Laney and Dane are back and so is the rest of the Crew. Laney and Dane are steaming up the Georgia summer while competing with each other to get her place ready before classes start back up. "...Love you so much, Laney. I'll always love you, my beautiful angel. You save me every day..." We also get to enjoy Parker and Hayden's wedding along with the Crew. And you get a glimpse at a different side of Sawyer. "...You're a part of me now Laney, there's no going back. No one and nothing exists before us, or after us, all that remains is our forever..." SE Hall really had me laughing out loud in hysterics with this book. Even though it is only a novella there is still a lot of love and humor to enjoy. I fall in love more and more with this series and it's characters with each book. Again I am happy to hand out a Nerd Alert A++ and 5 happy stars! Now bring on Entice and Sawyer!
This was a short, but utterly gripping page turner, just as the other two novels by stefani, I absolutely love this series. I originally thought this novella would just be about laney and Dane decorating thier (supposed to be laney's,) but lets face it, Dane is never going to leave her side, and if I was laney, I'd be happy about that. But it was about the whole gang, 'my gang', and I loved it. Laney shows her wild side in the novella and Dane shows just how much she means to him. I love when their decorating the rooms and they do one each, I could just picture their faces...beautiful. I can't give stefani enough credit, the novels are gripping and fun loving. Awesome!
Another fabulous read in this series. It feels like the main characters are building on their relationships and the rest of the crew are going to get their chances too. There is one scene where I was crying with laughter - such is the camaraderie that I now have with people in these pages!
The story continues to unfold in a fascinating, engaging way that just works. Looking forward to the next installment!
I got the pleasure of Beta reading this novella. I just finished and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I have never laughed so hard before. Its short and steamy just what I would expect from Laney and Dane. The snippets of Sawyer make me more eager for his book, Entice. I want to know what's going on. The whole crew is there for Parker and Hayden's wedding. It's beautiful as to be expected. The ending was perfect and a great set up for the next book. Not the huge cliff hanger I have come to expect from S.E. Hall. I will be rereading this very soon.
Another amazing book to add to an already amazing series. SE Hall takes you on a journey with this crew of awesome young adults and you find yourself on the edge where you just want to sit them down and tell them what life is about. They find their way. Not the easy way but they get there. Great Job SE Hall.
Finally it's here!! I loved this! We already know Dane and Laney are freaks lol. I love them together! I almost fell out of my seat reading about Bennett at they BYOB party!!! Lol. I feel bad for Sawyer in this book. I cannot wait to read the next book!!! Team Sawyer!
