Codi Rein is a means to an end. A bloody and vengeful penance for wrong doing. She was our way to inflict pain and suffering on those who took away what was most important to us.She was supposed to be a no one. Insignificant.She wasn’t supposed to make me smile.She wasn’t supposed to make me laugh.She sure wasn’t supposed to make me feel anything other than hate.She wasn’t supposed to make me … supposed to make me love her.
She was a means to an end. Now the bloody and vengeful end looks to be mine. Because it now comes down to love or loyalty and it’s on me to decide what reigns absolute; heart or family.

I loved this book because it had the right amount of alpha male and sweet heroine. Parker knew that his pursuit of Codi was not going to end well yet he couldn’t resist. With a huge urge for revenge on his and his brothers shoulders they have a plan and the whole time your shaking your head at these hot guys saying “nope don’t it” but they don’t listen. This book was great it had suspense, sexy moments (a lot of sexy moments), hot alpha males, and a heroine that at first I wasn’t sure about but ended up loving. I can’t wait for Rocco’s story
This book sat on my TBR for too long. Read it, don’t hold off. It is hands down one of my top favorites now. It was beautifully written. Codi and Parker had amazing chemistry. Their emotions, feelings, heart and soul jumped off the page. The story and plot kept me gripped, it kept my interest through the entire story. It was a beautiful story of love that conquers all and hate gets us nothing. I immediately purchased the book when I was done. I felt emotional when it was over. Not many books and characters can evoke that. The playlist on Spotify is worth a listen too. The music is paired to the story wonderfully and just heightens the emotion.
Random Fact: This story was amazing and intense!

Random Fact: Can’t wait to read more! Rocco?
I am kicking my own ass for taking so long to read this story. Seriously kicking my own ass.
This is one of those books that should be better known. It’s the kind of story that had me shouting and ranting, then smiling and swooning, then sobbing & clutching my chest. It’s a raw kind of read, the characters felt very real, their story will break your heart and the chemistry will have you squirming in your seat.
On the surface Parker & Codi are the kind of HEA everyone wants for themselves – but what happens when it’s all based on a lie. Hearts will be destroyed! I cried really hard in this one & yelled a lot. For me that means it’s a great read. I want to FEEL when I read. I want to connect with the characters & feel like I know them. This one gave me that and more.
Angst
Heat
Emotions
I got everything I want! Get it on your TBR today.
Next up I’ve got book 2 in the series & I must say I’m giddy at the idea of more Rocco!
Haley Jenner never fails to make me break and bleed in their stories. Tangled Love was no exception. This is an exceptional and intense story of love, hate and redemption. The feelings attacked me from all sides till I was an emotional mess!
Parker Shay and his older brother Rocco Shay have only one goal in their fucked up life. To take revenge on Dominic Rein. The crime boss responsible for their mother’s murder and for their lives becoming bitter and hollow. And his daughter Codi Rein is the perfect medium. Only she is nothing Parker expected. She is pure, sweet, kind and full of unconditional love. Parker was supposed to get attached to her and then destroy her. But the monster inside him is captivated by Codi Rein. He has to make a choic. Revenge or love.
Haley Jenner’s words make me die every single time. I really don’t know how they do this. Parker has a dark heart that was deprived of love and care way too long. He was abused and tortured and neglected. And love or any other soft emotions have no place in his bruised and shattered heart. Codi Rein enters and just changes everything. This girl…she is just pure amazingness. She is sweet and trusting and compassionate. But when it comes to accepting Parker as he is, she has this dangerous fire inside. She becomes this fierce fighter. This story has unlimited and shocking as hell twists and I guarantee you won’t have a dull moment. But everything comes back to FEELS. Parker’s anger and pain and guilt. Codi’s heartbreak. The angst was almost way too much. The words burrowed deep inside my heart and just made me feel every single twisted, terrifying, gloriously aching emotions. I did cry a lot because it was just overwhelming. The ending was most beautiful ever.
Tangled Love by Haley Jenner was a love story of blood, sweat and tears. It was real. It was raw. It was unapologetically honest and brutal. The beautifully tragic feel of an epic romance all the way.
Received a complimentary copy from the author for honest review
Every page, nay, every word had me glued – I want more!
Tangled Love was unlike anything I’ve ever read and I absolutely loved it. This novel had me hooked and I could not put it down. It was intense, steamy, heart-wrenching and will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns. You will love the characters, the plot will intrigue you and the plot twist will have you stunned. I loved it all and would highly recommend it to all romance lovers.
Why did I wait so long to read this book??? Omg. I loved every single word. Parker was my favorite kind of hero/antihero. Codi was his perfect counterpart. I wasn’t sure how this story was going to end up. The secrets that Haley Jenner weaved throughout this story kept me shocked and glued to my kindle. The plot was fast-paced and very well developed. I loved all the characters and can’t wait for more from this world.
A love story wrapped in a montage of death.
18 years ago a man killed Parker and Rocco Shays mother. Because of the criminal nature of their business Kane Shay assumed that Dominic Rein killed his wife.
The boys, being exposed to the violent nature of their father, grew up knowing they would be the ones to exact vengeance for Lila, their mom.
The best way to exact that revenge, of course, is for Parker and Rocco to take something vital from the man who killed their mom, and destroy it.
This story is not about that, not about the criminal mastermind of Dominic Rein, or the unmitigated evil in Marcus. It is a love story.
“One week. Seven days. One hundred and sixty-eight hours. Ten thousand and eighty minutes. Six hundred, four thousand, eight hundred seconds. That’s it.”
Tangled Love is a love story between two incredibly broken families, the perfect love Codi feels for Parker, and Parker’s knowledge that there is a time limit to his time with Codi.
As always Haley Jenner slay me with their words. Their ability to take a love story, and give it a twist like nothing I expect makes them one of my all time favourite 1-click authors, and keeps me coming back for more of their words every.single.time. I can’t WAIT for Rocco’s story next! (less)
Clearly I’m an idiot because I waited so long to read this book… Full of secrets, family, grief, lies & more lies, revenge & one undeniable/unbreakable connection I could NOT put this book down!
Haley Jenner freaking SLAYED this book! Like I couldn’t come up for air the entire time I was reading. The moment I picked it up and read the first few lines, life as I knew it was nothing compared to the life that was evolving in this book. I was hooked in, feeling every single possible emotion that was shared as it shredded me a part piece by piece.
Parker and Codi are a force to be reckoned with. From the very beginning, you are drawn into their story, with no regard to your own safety, and hurdled among the lies, deceit, anger, fear, and love that encapsulates you and refuses to let you breathe on your own. Their story will tear you into shreds, mangling the pieces of you into something new, and then putting you back together again.
Through it all, you are fighting for them, fighting against them, trying to make sense of the world you were just thrust into, but also knowing that it could destroy you with one single slice to your throat.
Haley took her words and made them powerful and all-consuming. There is no life outside of this book. Just Parker and Codi. And when you reach the end of it, you can’t even function outside of the reality that their story is over. You are left hanging onto every single piece you can because you will never really be ready to fully let go.
Five stars for this romantic suspense filled with lies, deceit, anger and love. This book will own you in a way that you weren’t sure that you could be owned, and it’s not going to give anything back when it’s all said and done.
Oof, this book. This. Book.
Codi and Parker are the embodiment of this title: tangled love. It’s messy, it’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s raw. It’s an overwhelming mass of emotions and you will easily find yourself drowning in them. Their love is a lot of push and pull, give and take. But what happens when you take from someone who would willingly give you everything?
This book and these characters are so layered, so complicated, but also so very, very simple too, Parker especially so. He is who he is, no pretense surrounding him. But the Parker Shay he presents to Codi Rein isn’t the full picture, just half truths wrapped in a forced smirk. But Codi, my gosh. Admittedly naive, she gives up every part of her pure soul to a man that cautions her against it. She continues to do so, paying no heed to his words. Eventually they both come crashing down and get wrapped up in a very twisted web of lies, deceit, heartache, and pain.
I love Parker and Codi’s story, their fight and their strength. The way they succumb to their feelings. There’s so much involved with these two that the only way to do their story justice is to read it for yourself.
This book gutted me and then put me back together again! What an amazing wild ride!
This story was so much better then I anticipated. Parker sees Codi as a target and nothing more then a end to means for him to extract his revenge but that all starts to shift the moment he spends time with her. Codi was the light to his dark and he’s not happy about it but knows that he needs her and her goodness more then his next breathe. I am looking forward to reading so much from this author
Tangled Love was so good! I loved it alot. The angst, sexual tension and chemistry between Parker and Codi was everything. Parker was a broken and dark man. Codi was sweet and sassy. Definitely recommend this! Cannot wait for Rocco’s book!
This is a story about loss, revenge, lust, love, and betrayal. Tangled Love is very different from all the other Haley Jenner books I have read, but it is still infused with their brillant talent for creating amazing characters, intense feelings, and a storyline that hits you deep with feels.
Parker Shay is a bad boy! He is the guy your parents tell you to stay away from. He has had a hard life and the only thing that has gotten him through those dark times is his slightly psychotic brother Rocco and their plan for revenge. However, when it’s time to enact this plan for vengeance he finds that one thing stands in his way – Codi Rein.
Codi Rein has lead a pretty good life. She has a father that loves her deeply and a sister she adores. She is content with her world, until a mysterious bad boy named Parker Shay walks into her life and turns everything upside down.
Codi and Parker for all intents and purposes shouldn’t be together, however they have such a strong connection with each other that they can’t stay away – even when this attraction puts both their lives in jeopardy!
What an amazing read!
I cannot wait to get my hands on Rocco’s book!!!
Darkness, Vengeance and Love in one amazing story!
WOW! Every single word of the story was perfect from beginning to end! It was dark, twisted, suspenseful and very very sexy! Parker and Codi’s story made me laugh, cry and want to throw my kindle at the wall. Their story is one hell of a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will have you falling deeply in love and also heartbroken at the same time.
Parker and Codi’s love story took my breath away and stole my heart. The chemistry these two had right from their first meeting was intense and so thick you could cut it with a knife! Their back and forth banter is funny, sexy and highly entertaining. I was utterly captivated by these two characters. Everything about their relationship was crazy, intense, messed up and totally worth reading about.
All the characters are well written and have so much uniqueness and depth to them you couldn’t help but want to learn more about each and everyone of them. Every soul in this story has some kind of tortured past or heartbreaking story. I never wanted the story to end.
I loved everything about this story. It was beautiful and everything I could want in an angsty love story. Phenomenal writing as always. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal! Beautifully written and I could note put it down. I loved everything about it! No buts, you have to read it and you will not be disappointed.
I loved the ‘random facts ‘, it bought a little humor into the dark and twisted story and it showed Parker’s softer side.
Oh my gosh I couldn’t put this book down! It was crazy good!! This is Codi Rein and Parker Shay’s story and what a wild ride it is. Parker and Rocco want vengeance for their mothers death. They know who did it, the Rein’s, and they have a plan. Parker just didn’t plan on it being this hard after meeting Codi. Codi and Parker have such an amazing chemistry and passion for each other. The twists and turns in this book had me biting my nails, there’s drama, intrigue, and angst, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. A definite must read and I definitely recommend it.
Finally after having this book on my Kindle i have finally read it in preparation for the next book. I really liked this book and the storyline and i really loved Codi and Parker.
Codi was just a cute character she was happy go lucky and just enjoyed life. Then you had Parker who tattooed, Dark and mysterious.
The thing i liked about this story was you knew what Parker was doing but i just couldn’t wait to see how it all unfolded and how they could possibly come back to each other.
This is a story of first loves, secrets, alpha males and steamy and it’s everything you could want and more in a book.
Haley Jenner have done it again and every time i finish their books i can’t wait to get into another of theirs
