I absolutely adored the first book in this series and I had no idea that the author was giving Francesca and Cade a novella, but I obviously knew there was more to their story! I'm so, so, so happy that the author did give Francesca and Cade a novella though! This novella was beautiful! It was the perfect addition to Cade and Francesca's story! The plot of this novella continued to show the development of the two main characters as they both came to terms with what they had been through and lear I absolutely adored the first book in this series and I had no idea that the author was giving Francesca and Cade a novella, but I obviously knew there was more to their story! I'm so, so, so happy that the author did give Francesca and Cade a novella though! This novella was beautiful! It was the perfect addition to Cade and Francesca's story! The plot of this novella continued to show the development of the two main characters as they both came to terms with what they had been through and learned to live again! I adored the plot! It was amazing! It was so sweet and hot in some parts, and then really dark in others! There was a lot in it as well for it being a novella! The plot was just amazing! It was written brilliantly and I was drawn right in! I loved how much the plot had developed as well! It really showed how far the characters had come and it showed that love really can conquer anything and help someone get through almost anything! The characters were again amazing! Francesca was again the main female character and I loved her just as much as I did in the first book! She was so sweet and just as amazing as what she was in the first book! I felt so sorry for Francesca in this book as she came to terms with her past, but she had to in order to move on and find peace! She had also come so far from the first book and I loved seeing how much she had grown! Cade in this novella was such a sweetheart! He was there for Francesca every step of the way, even though he was still dealing with his own demons! Cade had a drink problem in the first book and that book was about him admitting his drink problem, but this novella was about him facing it! Cade was an amazingly strong character and he showed just how strong he was in this novella! He obviously struggled, but he showed amazing strength as well! I think most of that was down to his love for Francesca too be honest! I could see that just how much Cade loved Francesca in this novella and I adored him for being there for her, just like she's always been there for him! I loved that this novella was written from both Francesca and Cade's point of view like the first book was! It was definitely essential to go inside both of the characters heads for this novella as they were both battling their own problems and the plot followed both of them as they came to terms with their problems! I'm really, really, really excited to read the next book in this series! I didn't even know there was going to be another book, but it's not going to be about Cade and Francesca! It's going to be about two characters in this series, Daphne and Zander! I can't wait to see what the author has up her sleeve for these two characters! I'm sure Cade and Francesca will be in it too! The cover for this book is beautiful! I have seen the stock photo on a few other covers, but it does suit the new cover for the first book brilliantly and this cover is also different to the other covers with the same picture on them! Big thank you to Felicia for an ARC of Entangled Souls! ...more

I received this as an ARC that is in the editing process so I will not comment on anything editing wise, although I really didn’t notice anything either. This is a sequel to Mangled Hearts where we get another glimpse into the life of Cade Kelling and Francesca Taymon. I love these two characters. They’re real, they’re flawed, they’re determined. Francesca has self-esteem issues, Cade is a recovering alcoholic, they’re dealing with real issues in life. This is a love story but it’s also more tha ...more

This book starts exactly where #1 ended.
Here we get to see how Cade's recover go. After his wedding propose, they spend more time together and get to know each other better, falling in love with each other even more.
It's a great end of their story, and a true life lesson for an alcoholic in recovery. I wish there were more people that could be strong enough to get over this. ...more

Entangled Souls is a wonderful conclusion to the story of Francesca and Cade.

Their relationship started with challenges, and continues with them, but that does not deter them. I like that Tatum is able to give these two a happily ever after that makes sense, while not ignoring the very real challenges. Her handling especially of Cade's alcoholism has been solid. Rather than making it a plot gimmick, it is handled with sensitivity, and all the objections from the people around them are realistic. ...more

I received the ARC.

I must say, I loved it. Felicia brings us into a story that feels real and heart felt.

Francesca is a young lawyer who has struggled through some tough times but has come out on top. She's strong willed but has some deep rooted self-esteem issues.

Cade is an recovering alcoholic who is still going through rehab. He's turned his life around for Francesca and is struggling to keep it together.

I love how the story plays out. Their love is strong and will see them through their har ...more

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
All I can say is that I fell in love with Cade and Francesca all over again, what an amazing love, I which everyone would find their Cade or their Francesca. Is incredible how two people that have gone thru so much can still retain that wonderful love. Thank you Felicia for making me believe that there is great love out there for everyone.

I loved this book. We get to see what it is like living with someone with an addiction in your life and trying to navigate your own. I am so excited to get more from the other characters in the coming books.
