Tangled Root: Book Two of the Entangled Roots Series

by James Michaels

After a relationship that turned trust into fear, Kayla Reyes has sworn she’ll never settle again.

She wants more than charm or control—she wants real safety, honest care, and the freedom to be soft without fear.

When a quiet, silver-bearded man offers steady patience instead of demands, something long-buried begins to stir. For the first time, dominance feels like reverence, and surrender starts to feel like coming home.

But shadows from her past refuse to stay buried. As old threats resurface, Kayla must decide if she’s ready to let someone truly hold her—and whether the safety she’s found is strong enough to withstand the storm.

Tender, sensual, and emotionally honest, Tangled Roots is a later-in-life romance about healing old wounds, embracing desire at any age, and discovering that the right kind of love doesn’t conquer.

It holds.

For readers who crave slow-burn chemistry, heartfelt aftercare, and a love built on earned trust.

[Pam · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book says slow burn - well the slow is there but not the burn. Lots of things are repeated, a couple things happen that are impossible or things like they are on the floor and fall to the floor. I didn't know there was a book 1 - you must have to read the books in order - I assume book 1 introduces you to a lot of the characters that appear in book 2 - but without the back story you are at a loss as to who they are - even though they are mentioned in this book like you should know who they are. The story is good - the delivery isn't.
