Penn is Trouble with a capital T and I'm loving it! 🥰

Bad boy Penn brings all the swagger and heat and inches to be a great book boyfriend! I've been waiting for Penn's story and it didn't disappoint! You will get immediately pulled in to Penn and Avery's steamy and whitty banter.

I was so suprised how much I loved the character dynamics of Penn and Avery. This small town romance hits all the right places.

Trouble by Adriana Locke is a very beautifully written small town romance you get lost in their world. It's page turning, captivating read and I never wanted it to end.

A Must read for all readers.

It was okay, but the characters did not have much chemistry and we had not much time to get to know them and their relationship...it just did not work out for me.

Fun story! From the first scene with Penn and Dane, and then being introduced to Avery, the story just flew. Both Penn and Avery are good people both trying to live their best lives in one quirky little town.

Locke's writing style is top tier for me. It feels so natural and seemless like I have always lived in these books. I get a first hand view of the personal lives and get to see them get together. It's a sweet romance with just the right amount of drama.

To say I loved this book would be an understatement! I absolutely love this series, and I've been dying for Penn's book. This did not disappoint.

Penn is definitely the sweet talker with an easy swagger we've come to know and love, but there is also a lot more to him. I loved seeing his sensitive side and finding out so much more about his backstory. Avery is perfect. I loved getting to know her and watching her make Penn work for what they both really wanted.

This series really has it all. From the sweet small town you can't help but fall in love with, to the friendships that make you want to be part of them, to the melt your heart romances I couldn't love these books more! Penn and Avery are sure to capture your heart and leave you wanting more from Dogwood Lane!

This is part of the Dogwood Lane series, but it can be read as a standalone. However, expect to be completely sucked in by this town and prepare to binge them all!

OMFG. I FLOOOOOVED Penn so much! This guy! The cockiness, the swagger, the tattoos, the eight inches....

HIS. HEART. I didn't know I'd feel so much for this guy, but he swept me off my damn feet immediately!

I loved the banter, not only between him and Avery, but the guys too! I adore a good bromance, and nobody does it like Adriana! I always feel like I want to be a part of the gang!

The sexual tension between Penn and Avery gave me the biggest case of blue balls I've had in awhile. But let me tell you, when he finally did give her his eight inches, it was SO WORTH the wait!

If you're looking for a twice-in-a-lifetime love story with a bad boy book boyfriend that will make you want to jump through your kindle and mount him, this book is for you! Meet your next book boyfriend PENN! He is everything!

A great small town, fun and flirty book! Penn and Avery will melt your heart! Their story will make you laugh and bring out all the "feels"! A great poolside read!

This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

I loved this book. Trouble is book 3 in the Dogwood Lane Series by Adriana Locke. Trouble was amazing!! Penn's story was everything I had hoped it would be and more, he's my new favorite but that's just between you and me (Don't tell Lincoln)! Penn is the charmer everyone knows it, full of one liners, cheeky innuendos and trouble (in a good way) with a capital T. But he has met his match with Avery who is the only person he has never managed to charm first time around or did he?! As always loved catching up with the rest of the Dogwood Lane residents

The only problem with Trouble was that it ended. I could have kept reading about this couple for hours or days. This book was charming and fun.

The sexual tension between Penn and Avery was AMAZING. After a few chapters, I was addicted to them. Their romance captured my heart and I loved being back with the characters in the Dogwood Lane series.

Penn and Avery are two small town people that can't stay away from each other. Avery knows that Penn has a bad boy reputation. She can't stop her attraction to him. Penn is such a playboy but there is more to him that no one sees except Avery. Will the couple be able to move on from the past to have a future together? A fun, small town romantic read.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Such a great book that sucks you in right from the beginning. How would you feel when you get hit on by a hot guy, only he doesn't remember your past "interaction". Read this book and enjoy the ride!

This was okay. It was a standard satisfactory small-town romance. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two characters and the small-town vibes.
However, I did not enjoy how the conflict was approached in this book or how the characters behaved at certain parts of the book. It sometimes came across as corny and a little juvenile.

Penn’s sarcasm and innuendos were just as funny as I knew they’d be. I thought Avery was such a sweet character with a lot of maturity and heart.

This book was a pretty easy and breezy read with a ton of small town charm. The characters were fun and light hearted. There were a few deep, emotional moments shared between the hero and heroine that really worked for the story. Especially the smack upside the back of Penn’s head at the end. Penn was certainly more than meets the eye, but only someone like Avery was lucky enough to see it. I liked the way the characters navigated their feelings and learned a lot about themselves along the way. The ending was cute and a satisfying HEA.

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This was so sweet!! I seriously love Penn. He's seen as a player (for obvious reasons) but when he's with Avery, he wants to be better, to be someone else, but he is sooo confused and he makes mistakes and he's human. Just pure human who is learning it step by step. He stumbles over mistakes he makes and his words and he legit is bewildered about Avery's reactions sometimes, which just makes him look like the sweetest, most adorable man I've read about in a really long time.

Avery is so patient and understanding when it comes to Penn. Though at a certain point she does have to be a little more upfront and harsher with her decisions to make her point across, but she legit understands where he is coming from. With both of them having similar pasts, these two are definitely meant for each other and are there to help one another. I also love how Avery was able to start painting again and see out a dream of hers come true without the influence of her parents' judgement.

I'm so glad I finally read this book and I am so glad I loved it so much! I'll have to see about looking for the other books by this author :)

Trouble is an adorable romcom about a forever bachelor and a women ready to be put first in life.

They obviously have amazing chemistry and have great banter through out the story.

Trouble is a really great, easy to read, light read. While it touches some junky parts about their lives, they don’t have super emotionally draining back stories.

This book was a quick and light read. Was it the best romance novel of all time? No. But did it strike some good feels? Sure did! I didn't realize this was the third book in the series, and yet I didn't feel like I was missing anything, so this could definitely be read as a stand alone. I loved that small town feel where everyone knows each other and the whole community aspect of it. I thought it was weird how Avery was sharing intimate details with her aunt. I guess maybe I never had that relationship with my aunts. I also thought Penn's thought process was a bit juvenile. I mean who in their late 20's talks in all sexual innuendos. I mean one or two here or there yes, but almost excessively for the first half of the book, was a bit of a stretch and made me not like him that much. Thankfully that changed as the novel progressed!

It was okay. Nothing against the author, I hear some people enjoy her other books. But I just couldn't bring myself to get into this one enough to even finish it. I wasn't a huge fan of Penns anyway, honestly.

I've been eagerly waiting for Penn's story. He is a tough nut to crack! I love that under that tough exterior is truly a marshmallow that only Avery can bring out. Both Penn and Avery drew the short stick with parents, but they are so perfect for each other!

I loved returning to the small town of Dogwood Lane and catching up with previous couples. Watching Avery and Penn let their walls down and let each other in was heartwarming. A great read in the series!
