With the Golden Gate Bridge in sight, the story begins.

Kayla is an ambitious seventeen-year-old who is content to deliver "real-talk" to her boy-crazy best friend, Breeana, while running the high school’s environmentalist club. She has no time or desire for boys, viewing even a crush as an unwanted commitment. Until Russell Mancini joins Beach Cleanup Day. Kayla learns that she’s a sucker for love just like her peers.

Their relationship seems perfect, but fate conspires against the pair. Kayla’s dreams are shattered when she becomes pregnant.

Struggling to make ends meet, Russell makes a decision that threatens to destroy their relationship, irrevocably steering his course away from Kayla and their daughter.

Kayla finds herself pitted in a conflict she would never have expected. As Russell’s fate presents him with a seven-year incarceration sentence, Kayla must pick up the pieces and stay firm in her marriage. Dreaming of the day her daughter will have a father once again.

Will Kayla and Russell untangle the knot that was once their love? Or will temptations and inner demons succeed in moving them further apart?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dr. Eichin Chang-Lim is a semiretired optometrist, a multi-award-winning author, a wife, and a mother to 2 children. She and her husband had a private optometry practice in Los Angeles. They live in Orange County, California.

In a recent interview, the author said, “You might have noticed that romance and inspirational are my niche genres. I write romance because I find it to be an intriguing genre. Relationships are quite involved in real life. Therefore, I use romance to depict the intricacies of relationships. Ultimately, it evolves into an inspirational and thought-provoking tale. Readers will discover that I tend to tell love stories beyond the confines of romance. I strive to convey the kind of love that is much broader and more profound than romantic or physical love. I strongly believe that love is more than a four-letter word. It’s multidimensional. It involves sacrifice, forgiveness, trust, demoting one’s ego, or even ‘letting it go’ at times. I also like to encompass the love of friendship, family, and even little pets in my stories.”

“As a romance writer, I write with my heart and soul. My mindset is that if my story can make a difference in even one person’s life, it’s all worth it, and that’s what love is all about,” she added.

Eichin modeled during college in Taiwan and was in several short films, including a supporting role in the comedy Indy/feature film Winning Formula. She has written six books: FLIPPING: An Uplifting Novel of Love, A Mother’s Heart: Memoir of a Special Needs Parent, Love: A Tangled Knot, TheLoveLock, YOUR PRECIOUS SIGHT: An Optometrist’s Most Memorable Cases, and Ultimate Revenge.

During the preorder period, YOUR PRECIOUS SIGHT hit the #1 New Release in seven categories at least once: Optometry, Physician & Patient Diagnosis, Eye Problems, Reference, Preventive Medicine, Aging, and Ophthalmology.

Besides acting and writing, she loves opera and a big bear hug. Learn more about the author at www.eichinchanglim.com

This journey takes you through about ten years of the main character's, Kayla and Russell's, lives. It's story about love, loss, temptation, courage, and faithfulness.

Two young lovers find themselves in a predicament beyond their wildest dreams. Do they have the tenacity to overcome all of the adversity, or will the trials they face tear them apart?

I found myself riveted to this story from start to finish. The author did a wonderful job bringing the loveable characters to life and making you feel their emotions! You will be rooting for them all the way through!

Very well written! Kudos to the author! I look forward to another of her books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Star-crossed Lovers In a Definitely Tangled Knot
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023

This novel tells the story of two high schoolers who meet and fall in love. Kayla isn't initially interested in boys--that is, until she meets Russell, who plays water polo for her high school team. On the other hand, her friend Breeana is boy-crazy and tries to entice Kayla to hang out at all the athletic competitions involving their high school teams. Kayla lives with her sister and her husband, as well as their two children. She helps them with the two kids while they work.

Kayla and Russell become an item. They spend time together, discovering that each is easy to talk to the other. They're simpatico; they easily become intimate, which leads to any problems of a multitude of challenges. They make decisions that are typical of teenagers--decisions that will change their lives forever, often not for the better.

This novel takes on some difficult questions facing teenagers and their parents, and the consequences associated with the way in which those people handle their challenges. Life is difficult, and this novel explores those difficulties. I don't want to describe any more of the plot for fear of disclosing too many details.

I think this would be an excellent book for middle school to early high school students to read as they are tempted to try certain risky behaviors. This novel clearly demonstrates how difficult the life of a teenaged couple can be if they make the wrong decisions with their lives. The author clearly describes the way lives can be changed forever by poor judgment on the part of young people. I recommend this for its clarity and its overall vision of the reality the life facing today's teenagers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for all high school kids
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017

The beginning of the story was a little boring as I’m not a YA reader, but I do think that it makes for a great beginning for those who favor that genre. That said, Kayla getting pregnant and going to high school in her senior year with said pregnancy resonated with me as my best friend in high school found herself the same way. So did my older sister. I felt a sisterly connection for that reason. We all make decisions and we all must deal with what becomes of those choices. Kayla and Russell’s story shines with the characters’ story arcs and how they dealt with them. This is a wonderful drama piece and I highly recommend this book to high school kids especially. The powerful messages within are such that I must give this book five stars. That said, I see that this book had two editors, and I blame them for the mistakes in the grammar, etc. Truly mistakes such as Kyla when it should have been Kayla, and this type of thing should have been caught by at least one of the editors. They have done this book and author wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great story of life, choices, and the love that binds
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017

As the title indicates, love can be a tangled knot, but is it possible for it to be untangled? This novel explores both sides of that issue in a well-written story that this slow reader went through in record time. Starting in high school, the story follows the lives of Kayla and Russell, their ups and especially their downs. I loved the ending, which I won’t reveal, but what it took to get them there was a testament to love and forgiveness. This is a good, clean romance that I recommend to anyone seeking a love-infused, inspirational read.

Love sometimes knots instead of weaves. I like this book a lot. It brought home many memories of childhood friends that fell into the tangled web. I feel it is a must-read for high school girls who think boys care about their hearts. In this book, I applaud the young man for taking responsibility. I gave this book a 5-Star review and will be reading other books by this author in the future.
