I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book was a quick romantic read with excellent characters and plot. |

This book was wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the explosive chemistry between Crystal and Ford during their crazy journey together. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy a bit humor and heart with this emotional romance. I'm a sucker for opposites attract style of romances these days! I definitely look forward to reading more by Leigh LaValle! |

This was my first read from this author and she has easily been added to my "must read" list of authors! This was everything I love in a contemporary romance with lots of feels, intensity, heart-warming moments and hot, sexy times as well! |
"Relax, nothing is under control." Never have I looked at the table of contents to know when I'll be done with this because I wish it won't end. The story is unique, unpredictable and nothing under control. With all the sexiness and recklessness, it all adds excitement to this easy and feel-good story. Totally loved it! You won't get bored, there's a lot of surprises and revelations. A lot of things going on in a chapter that will leave you wanting for more.

I've got to admit I really struggled to get in to this book at first and had to really push through but in the end I enjoyed it.. Ended up laughing along and enjoying the connection between them. |
This book had a great storyline and really great characters this is the first book I have read from this series and I will be checking out the first one. It was well written and really funny at times it was a little bit slow at times but once it picked back up it was really good. If you are looking for a fun cute read then give this a go I enjoyed it. |

Reckless was so much fun to read. It was one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. In Reckless, we meet Crystal who is a happy go lucky yoga hippie. Then we meet Ford who is a hot shot CEO with no time for anything else but work. Ford and Crystal couldn’t be anymore different, they are polar opposites. One thing they both did have in common though was the fact they needed to find themselves throughout the book and do what made them happy and not others. I loved their little banters and quirks which made their personalities more real and enjoyable. Ford and Crystal helped oneanother grow and see things from a different perspective. I did feel like it was rushed a bit at the end but It had a great ending. “I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.” |
Totally in love with this one!!! Makes me want to read all the author's books. I haven't read the first book but I felt like I didn't need to (although I do wanna read it). This book tells the story of Crystal and Ford, two different people who fall for each other in a road trip to a wedding. Crystal is a yoga instructor who's always positive and trying to help others; Ford is the CEO of his family business, a workaholic who doesn't like to be distracted. There are sparks everywhere when they are together, and also hot scenes to enjoy. I fall in love with every part of the story, it was funny, vulnerable and lovely. The author gave us great characters with great development and got us characters with a rollercoaster of emotions, that I actually felt pretty close to. Characters I'm sure every reader will enjoy. Even the not main characters like the families were amazingly good written. Just perfect read. 5 stars isn't enough. |
I enjoyed it, a lot. Good characters and decent storyline. Characters are polar opposites and just too good together. Overall, it was really well done! Would recommend. |

This was a funny, sexy story about hippie Crystal and Ford, the CEO. These two are polar opposites, but that doesn't stop the sparks from flying. Some moments were laugh-out-loud, some were smack-someone's-head-you're-an-idiot, and some were steamy. Add in a family wedding, a wealthy family that's all about appearance, a hippie family, a business in crisis and you have chaos and mayhem. Let the fun begin! I loved Crystal and Ford together. This was my first book by this author, but I'll keep my eyes out for future books. |
This was a solid romance that I liked. It didn't blow me away but it was a good opposite attract romance. It had a little bit of everything - humor, emotional depth, and a quite solid HEA. I love the yoga hippie/workaholic interactions that were interwoven into the story. The extreme differences between the heroine and hero really made for an interesting read. Although it's the second in a series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. I liked this one but didn't love it. If the opposites attract trope is your thing, you will likely really enjoy it! |

Cute story! A little too slow in the middle but it was funny, cute and sexy. 4 chilli peppers of hotness! |

This is the second book in Leigh LaValle's Yoga In The City series. This book can be read as a standalone and I hadn’t read the first book, but did not feel I missed anything. Crystal is the co-owner of a yoga studio in Boulder Colorado. She’s also the spokesperson for her parents' new book about tantra. Crystal is overwhelmed and needs a break to get herself back to peace. Conveniently, she is scheduled to go to the Adirondack’s for her cousin's wedding. Ford is a workaholic, control freak CEO of his family's international watch company. He feels his company needs to get involved in some smart watch technology, but he needs signatures from other family members to move forward. Ford is also travelling to the Adirondack’s for his sister’s wedding, and he plans to get those signatures there. Due to bad weather, the flight taking the pair to the wedding is postponed, and the two are forced to find alternative arrangements. The two couldn’t be more different! The “hippy” and the “control freak” spend time together and eventually act on their attraction and chemistry, just while they are going to the wedding. Will it last thereafter? I enjoyed this story and recommend it as a good read for anyone who likes opposites attract stories. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher.

I found this story ok, I didn't really agree with tall the five stars but to each his own. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a standalone. We also have an opposites attract situation or/and an enemies to lovers story. We have Ford who is a workaholic and trying to save his families empire and the last thing he needs his his attraction to Crystal a yoga hippie. Ford's sister is marrying Crystal's cousin Josh, and they are both asked to come early to deal with their crazy families. Josh's are uptight and Crystal's are a little crazy and hippies. While they both leave to deal with the families their is a storm and they can't fly out so they have to make a trip by car and every obstacle imaginable has come upon them but while they are doing that their chemistry is stronger than ever so they succumb to it and have a fling, only to happen while they are on this trip and then they will go back to normal, but you and I know that will not be the case. |

I loved the characters and the chemistry but the plot and story didn't really do anything for me. Too slow paced. |

This right here is a slice of sunshine pie .................. What happens when a stuffed shirt and a free spirit are forced together? fireworks! That's what. And when their equally "noses in the air" and "I am one with nature" families meet as well? Let's just say a LOT is going on. This is a happy book. From the great characters, to the backdrop, the author weaves a story around you that just gladdens the heart. This is the first book I've read by Miss LaValle but it wont be my last. If you're looking for a great summer read, look no further. |
Barel 3 stars. A decent follow up to the first book in the series - but you don’t have to read sequentially as it’s basically a stand alone. However, this one didn’t resonate with me as much as the first did. It also felt like the yoga aspect in this one was really watered down. On top of that, it was about 75-100 pages too long and in desperate need of a decent editing job. Full disclosure, I thought the 1st book could use some trimming as well. All in all, it’s an okay follow up but one with less sympathic characters, almost too much sexy times, and one where I found myself getting bored about 75% in. |

First book by this author and I really enjoyed it. Given how different they are, it was good to have the chapters from both the points of view of Crystal and Ford. A fairly fast paced book that follows them on their plane and road trip to the wedding of Ford's sister to Crystal's cousin. Ford is CEO of the family company and Crystal is a yoga teacher - they have met before but this time something seems to change and they can't keep away from each other. They know it has to end once they get to the wedding, but what then? Can't wait to read the other books in this series. |

Reckless is a so so romance. I found the plot and the writing lacking. I probably just should not have given any feedback. |
I voluntarily read this title in exchange for a review. A feel good book if ever I saw one. It’s light hearted, has some truly funny moments, and with out giving too much away, let’s just say the parents are the highlight and steel the show. |
