Free-spirited yoga guru Shay Davis has only ninety days to get her workaholic former classmate Colin Anderson from work all day to namaste… All they need is a little common ground.
Accountant Colin Anderson is working himself into an early grave.
Shay Davis is finally living her dream of owning a yoga studio.
Sure, they went to high school together—but that’s where their similarities end. He’s Mr. Corporate, hustling late into the night so his firm can go public, while she flows through sun salutations and half-moon poses at her own pace.
So when a health scare pushes Colin to make a few life changes, he knows where to turn. If he’s going to get right with his career, he’ll need the right woman—and to get the right woman, he has to prioritize his health. Who better than Shay to help whip his butt into shape so he can win back his high school girlfriend?
The catch is, she only has ninety days to do it.
And they both really, really get on each other’s nerves.
Soon, though, their sessions are heating up the studio. But as Colin gets closer to achieving his goal, he and Shay both move further away from what they thought they wanted. Before they know it, they’ll have to step out of their comfort zones and rethink their own versions of “right”…before their time is up.

My Thoughts:
I am a big fan of opposites attract romance because it often leads to good comedy! I also really enjoy when characters who don't like each other have to work together so I thought this one was right up my alley. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
I did enjoy Shay's independence. I also liked seeing Colin realize what was important in his life. I think a lot of people will relate to his struggle with companies that don't allow for a work-life balance.
I enjoyed that Colin couldn't stay away from Shay even though he wanted to but I didn't fully understand their connection beyond physical attraction and enjoyable sex. I wanted to see Shay get rid of all her worries about falling in love and would have liked Colin to recognize his feelings sooner.
I also wasn't crazy about how this book handled the topic of depression. I felt a little bit like it was treated a bit like a moral failing. I think if Shay's mom had struggled with a physical illness it would have been viewed much differently. Now that might have just been Shay's perception but I would have liked that to have been made clear if that was the case. As someone who deals with depression, I wasn't a huge fan.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin for providing me with an ARC of this title so I could write a review. All opinions are my own.
