Reckless (Yoga in the City #2) by Leigh LaValle
Reckless is the second book in the Yoga in the City series, and this time we focus on Crystal Ananda, one of the partners of the Yoga Studio. She is the one that is always dependable, even if she really doesn't actually want to do it! The reasons for this become clear as the story progresses. And then we have Ford, the workaholic CEO who doesn't spare anyone's feelings in his quest to get the family business back on track. Both their stories - wildly opposite at the start, actually start to show parallels - and Crystal and Ford find something they both want to last.

This was a pleasant story, with laugh out loud moments, and lots of quirkiness (usually on Crystal's side of the family) thrown in for good measure. Crystal is too often see as just a pretty thing, blonde bimbo, type of character, so it was wonderful to see the author turn this on it's head (where needed) and give Crystal her own strengths. Together with Ford, they make a strong team.

With no editing or grammatical errors, this book was a smooth read, with plenty of emotions coming through. The story flowed from one scene to the next, and we even caught up with Hannah and Jake from Breathless. Absolutely recommended by me.

I started using Down Dog as a suggestion from my yoga instructor after the Covid-19 lock down. I absolutely love it! You can select what level you're at, what you want to focus on in regards to your body, how long you want your session to be and what style of yoga. I like the options of background music and that you can choose a voice to instruct you. The video is really good showing the different poses and you can select a level of description for the poses. My only critism is that although you can thumbs up or down certain tracks of music, you have to do this during the practice which is difficult if you are in a pose. You can view all the tracks played at the end but can't rate them, I was under the impression the point of rating them was so you didn't get msuic that distracted you or you didn't like again.
