Audrey Carlan Does it AGAIN what an amazing Story if i could give more than 5*s I would. What a great story between Yoga instructor Genevieve Harper and Professional Baseball Player Trent Fox.
Genevieve Harper is a blond bombshell and a Yoga Instructor, Part time hairdresser and is raising her brother and sister alone in the house they shared with their parents who died suddenly in an accident. 3 Years on she’s trying so hard to pay the bills, taxes and many other things. Genevieve is twenty-four and she defiantely doesn’t have time to devote to a man…especially not the devastatingly handsome.
Professional Baseball Player, Trent Fox has the best hitting average in the league. After having surgery on a torn hamstring his agent tells him to take Yoga to help his injury which takes him to Lotus House Yoga Center. While Trent is attending classes he meets Genevieve Harper who’s a curvy, quite petite blonde with soulful black eyes and has candy-coated glossy lips he’d like to do more to than kiss. He asks Genevieve (his gumdrop) if she will give him daily private lessons that definitely shows him how sensual yoga can be.
After finding out she’s pregnant with his child can love grow between Genevieve who’s rooted in her life and Trent who resists any notion of staying in one place?
Namaste
Trent and Genevieve will have your heart tied up in knots as they fall head over heels. Genevieve won’t take the credit, but her selfless acts after her parent’s passing should qualify her for sainthood. She put aside her dreams and aspirations to become the solo caretaker for her two young siblings and to take on all the burdens of caring for a whole family. With bills ever present and only her fly by night hair salon business and yoga income to support them, Genevieve has has to make some tough calls, but she has always put her siblings first. When the handsome, cocky, and charming Trent Fox shows up in her yoga class and suddenly is very sweet on her, she’s not sure what to make of it. What could a famous baseball god want with a debt-ridden sudo-parent of two. Trent needs to rehab an injury to come back better than he was to quiet the critics. When yoga is suggested he is nothing but sceptic until the class not only kick his butt, but the delectable yogi teaching it strikes his fancy. She seems to be leery of his player rep though and convincing her to give him a shot may take more than his normal tricks, but he got a sneaky suspicion she just might be worth it.
very fun
What a great book!! Loved how easy the book flowed.
I really enjoyed this book and it made me want to start the series!
“Oh, my word.” 3 little words that mean everything throughout this book.
Resisting Roots was so hot it will set your lady parts on fire .
Every once in a while you come across an author that completely blows your mind and immediately makes you a fan for life. Audrey Carlan did just that with Resisting Roots (coming soon to @passionflix , watch for it). I had no idea what I was I for when I picked up this book but good god it made my heart flutter.
I really enjoyed this but it shouldn’t surprise me as I’ve enjoyed the other books by Audrey Carlan that I’ve read.
The angst wasn’t very high, which I liked (at the moment) because let’s face it, a girl needs a break from high angst at times.
Plus, I REALLY love the yoga aspect of this book/series. It’s very unique and something I’ve become interested in learning within the past year.
Loved this book. My favorite thing about it was that it was almost like the story is about what its like for a single mom trying to date. Genevieve, who is raising her brother and sister, has to put their needs before her own and Trent has to understand that if he wants anything to do with Vivvie, he has to be able to handle all the responsibilities she comes with. Now add in the fact that shes a yoga teacher & he’s a professional baseball player in need of some private lessons, things get pretty interesting very fast 😉 Put this book on your to-read list, you won’t regret it
Audrey Carlan proves that good things happen to those who deserve it. Genevieve gives up her life dreams to take care of her younger siblings after the tragic death of their parents. She’s selfless. She deserves the sexy, successful, athletic prize. A must read for sure!
This was a slow, sensual romance.
Genevieve has many responsibilities that she cant avoid and better yet, doesn’t want to avoid. She has her siblings to look after and puts them first before herself, that’s why, when Trent Fox shows up, she wants to fight the feelings that he sparks in her. Trent Fox is a NBA player who has had a serious injury and to get better, he has to spend time with Genevieve, which for him is no hardship. He wants her but doesn’t know what hes getting himself into.
Will these two be able to work together?
This was such an interesting story from beginning to end. Trent and Genevive our now on my list of favourite couples . And oh I so need to find my own little Sunflower Bakery . I can’t wait to read all the lotus house novels. Romance, yoga and characters you just want to know more about.
Genevieve was a yoga teacher trying to make her way in life, supporting her siblings as her parents were no longer around.. life and circumstances made Genevive to take charge of everything, making it difficult for her to be able to complete her dreams and career.. she was working in different jobs to be able to provide for the family, life wasn’t easy and she didn’t need any complications until him.. the most handsome guy she ever met..
Trent is a famous baseball player who is used to have chicks all over himself, he is not ready for any committed relationship,
he just wants to keep playing baseball and have some fun.. but life has other plans for him, plans that he will no longer be able to change or denied.. plans that will change him forever.
Genevieve is a good heroine, she is strong and hard-working, she is determined and grounded but life and circumstances had made her keep her heart away, somehow making her a little guarded not believing easily.. she is not ready for any commitment, she feels like she doesn’t have time for anything like that, she has so many responsibilities to be just playing around..
Trent doesn’t understand, the responsibility Genevieve has, making harder for him to court her, but he is a very persistent hero and he won’t take no for an answer.. he will get what he wants no matter if that means changing and becoming a better man.
The chemistry between Genevieve and Trent was off the chart, you could feel the need and want from Trent whenever Genevive was around. I didn’t expect the intensity of the sex scenes and the passion between them. it was a very great surprise. not only Trent was amazing in bed he was a super dirty talker.
so many great characters that surround Genevieve and Trent, making this story more enjoyable and great.
This is my first book written by Audrey Carlan. it was a pleasant surprise, I like the element of yoga she used as well of the chakras on each chapter making us somehow aware of what is about to happen.
great book, and great characters.. looking forward to reading more of Audrey’s work..
Resisting Roots is an irresistibly delicious start to Audrey Carlan’s Lotus House Series! I learned so much about yoga, prompting me to take a go at it- although I’ll never be as flexible as Genevieve! I loved her protective personality, both with her siblings and her heart. This love story is both sweet and entertaining!
Smoldering chemistry between Genevieve and Trent.
One of my favorite reads this year.
Good book, love her writing but … enjoyed her Calendar Girl series soooooo much more!
Rate: The Harper kids have been through a lot. Once professional baseball player stops resisting his roots will it be too late? ***************
I’m a huge fan of Audrey Carlan. It took me a little longer than normal to finish this book. I am excited for the second book to see where this series goes. Typical romance novel. Audrey usually has very unique stories, but there was nothing that stood out to me in this one. Keeping my fingers crossed for the second one #dowtimereading #audreycarlan #readallthebooks #books #booklovers #bookstagram #book #bookclub #bookstagrammer #bookworm #bookaholic #romancenovels #readingtime #readmorebooks #resistingroots #novemberreading #islandreading
Fairly good but grew tired of male character cave man behavior. Thankfully the female was a pretty strong character so it evened out. Good read but not great.
So far I have enjoyed everything that I have read by Audrey Carlan. They are easy reads but not amateurish. The characters are interesting and likable. I thought Genevieve was more interesting than the average heroine. What made me start this series was that it revolves around the yoga studio and I thought that would be interesting. I look forward to reading book 2.
Addition: Six weeks later I have finish the series and I loved it. Wish it could go on indefinitely. Cute writing style, likable and well defined characters. Loved learning about yoga, meditation, chakras and auras.
It was an ok read. Wouldn’t read again and would not recommend
