Breathless (Yoga in the City #1)Breathless by Leigh LaValle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breathless is the first book in Leigh LaValle’s new series called Yoga in the City and it is the first book I have read by this writer and after finishing this one, I can tell you that I am really looking forward to the next book in this series! I wonder where she will take us with all those different yoga ‘girls’!
Breathless is the story of Hannah Roberts and Jake Marshall and oh man, do they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders or not! Both of them are characters that pull you in and don’t let you go until you come to the end and do they take us on a ride in between! I loved how the writer could evoke a gamut of emotions in me while reading – I laughed and chuckled and cursed and fanned myself and blushed and screamed in my head and raged and … well, you sort of get a picture!
I loved how Leigh was playing with all those crazy stereotypes that we tend to have about yoga teachers and mountain men and construction guys/guys with tools and prove us … wrong. We all have a story, we simply need to open up to life and dare to share and then we will be awarded with surprises, sometimes great ones and sometimes with the ones that teach us a lesson or simply boggle our mind!
I could not put the book down so I suggest that you plan a quiet afternoon with Hannah and Jake and the rest of the gang. You will enjoy the time you will spend with those two very real characters and I will be looking forward to the next book!

Breathless (Yoga in the City #1)Breathless by Leigh LaValle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hannah Roberts has been on the move running from her past. She has finally found somewhere she wants to settle down. Hannah along with three other women have bought Bloom Yoga Studio. Hannah has sunk her life savings into this business and hopes she can finally make a life for herself. She is one sassy, funny, sarcastic and at times known to be a little obsessive. Everything is going well with the new business, that is until it all comes crashing down. The women soon find out that the building is undergoing renovations but due to the noise business is declining. Never again will she let a man rule her life but What Hannah finds is more than she bargained for, one hot and very sexy mountain man.

Jake is a an intelligent, strong and sexy thrill seeker. He is a man who is hurt and injured by his past, a past he can not let go of, a past that is ruling his life and choices. When he stumbles upon beautiful, giving and loving woman she consumes his every thought.

Can these two get their act together before it is too late? Will Hannah leave behind her reservations about relationship and men and open her heart? Will Jake learn to live again? Will Hannah be able to help Jake heal? Will Hannah find friends and family she has never known before?

Breathless by Leigh LaValle is the first book in the Yoga in the City series and is a fun and easy read. The story is very well written and flows easily. This is a sad yet sweet, hot and steamy love story. It is to be savoured like a fine wine. So sit back, rest and enjoy.

I look forward to reading Reckless, Book 2 in the series.
