One Night Hand Stand

New York Times Bestselling Author

Book Summary: 

Who accidentally has a one-night stand with her yoga instructor?

Yep. Me.

How did I accidentally sleep with someone, right? I know what you’re thinking. Whoops! I slipped and inadvertently inserted Tab A into Slot B.

That’s not quite how it went.

But my yoga instructor is really, really skilled with Tab A, if you know what I mean.

Slot B never had it so good.

What am I supposed to do now, as I walk into my yoga class and find the guy I ghosted this morning… there, in front of the class, perfectly aligned and grinning at me like he remembers touching all my chakras.

He’s perfect. Too perfect. He’s so perfect he’s ruining my job.

I’m an investigative reporter, working on spec for an article for a national magazine, and my job is to find all the ways this yoga chain is corrupt.

The only thing criminal here is that I can’t have him in Slot B ever again. And I would. I’d turn myself into a paper doll book if that’s what it took for more of that action.

I want him. He wants me. Nothing I do will make him back off because the chemistry is off the charts.

Except for one pesky little thing:

We’re at cross-purposes.

I need my exposé to get the job of my dreams. He needs to sell his stake in the yoga chain before I expose the corrupt current owner.

That makes him my enemy. My nemesis. The guy I have to get around to get ahead.

And now we’re supposed to hate each other.

But who ever let that get in the way of love?

My Review:

Oh, how this book was not for me. For one, I felt like this book had a hard time keeping up with itself. It started as a fun, quirky, one-night-stand-turned-deeply-in-love story with laugh-out-loud moments, but then somehow morphed into two subplots for the main characters that ended up becoming the catalyst for their relationship. That would’ve been fine, but it spent FAR too much time on those stories, only to leave more questions and plot holes by the time it concluded. Add in the instalove after one night together (again, I’m not an instalove fan, so those who are may love this aspect), plus the gravity of feelings fueled by what was truly lust, not love, and I was done.

This book was written for someone who believes in love at first sight, instant connection, instalove, love conquers all, and all of the feel-good things that make romance what it is. For me, while I understand it is fiction, I need to have at least a pinky toe in the realm of reality, and this one was just too far in the clouds for me.
