Synopsis
My world ended the day I received an eviction notice for Lotus House Yoga. Teaching yoga is all I’ve ever known. I’ve been doing tree pose since the age of two. The studio is my home, my legacy. My mother and her best friend left Lotus House to me so that I could carry on spreading goodness and light to everyone who enters our door. Now I’m faced with the very real possibility that it will all go up in smoke…unless I can convince Grant Winters—the most ridiculously handsome and arrogant businessman I’ve ever met—to save not only my business but all those around it.
When I stormed into Grant’s office to beg and plead for a second chance at preserving what my family spent decades building, I had no idea how it would change my life.
A deal was made.
He’d visit the businesses he was planning to destroy and attend classes at Lotus House while I worked to change his mind. In exchange, I had to enter his business-first world of luxury, fast-talking men, and surgically enhanced women.
Turns out, I didn’t fit in... Then again, neither did he.
In the end, we were both enlightened.

Worth a Reader's Time
Review Copy Provided by Author
3.75 stars for this is a solid conclusion to an entertaining series.
Luna is a character that we have seen throughout the other books in this series, so it was nice to get to know her a little better here. She was the perfect person to soften the rough edges of our hero, Grant.
I definitely enjoyed Luna and Grant's story - from a lust/love at first sight through his emotional evolution Ms. Carlan did an excellent job of telling their story amidst the conflict of trying to spare a community from the wrecking ball.
As this is also the conclusion to the Lotus House series, I appreciated the effort Ms. Carlan put into weaving the prior six couples into the story so we could see where they are now. This could have potentially been a deal breaker for me (as I've seen it done poorly before), but it was done very well here so that it felt organic to the story.
I had a few personal preference type issues with the story, these did impact my rating by bringing the book just shy of a full 4 stars. I am not going into detail here because they really are personal preference and not related to quality of the story or the writing to tell it, they may not
be issues for other people, so I want everyone to form their own opinion.
This is a series that I have enjoyed from the beginning and I feel like this is a good conclusion to bring it to an end.
