True Love Knot: Entangled, A Caregiver’s Story is a work of fiction in the romance and women’s genres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience and was penned by DonnaLee Overly. The book follows several characters as their lives intertwine with each other at the whim of fate. Gabby has become a caregiver to her husband but seeks solace in her ex’s bed. Richard is campaigning for governor with a beautiful campaign manager at his side. Wayne is swerving to avoid a political scandal, only to make things more complicated for everyone. Stan is struggling with his feelings for Gabby, risking his settled life in the process.

This book is a wonderfully executed tapestry of complicated people and their struggles with temptation and regret. Each of the characters that DonnaLee Overly has imagined is brought to life dynamically and believably, and it doesn’t take long for each of them to lure the reader into investing in their journeys. In particular, the struggle of Gabby to balance her duties as a wife and caregiver to her husband after his accident against her own need for comfort and intimacy that he can no longer provide was beautifully presented. True Love Knot does an excellent job of deftly moving between the strands of each character’s story in such a way that keeps readers hooked on each of those threads from the opening until the satisfying conclusion. This book is a brilliant romance, and I’d happily recommend it to any fans of the genre.
